In a recent interview with Empire, Shazam! star Zachary Levi lamented how his two-movie run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe saw the Warriors Three go largely underdeveloped, but now that the actor has made the jump to DC, Levi is hopeful that he’ll get to be a part of another superhero team.
Though Star Wars: Episode IX is already juggling quite a few familiar characters – from Sequel Trilogy regulars to returning players like Lando Calrissian – the film is also set to bring a few franchise newcomers into the saga. And while Lucasfilm has shared virtually no info on any of their newest arrivals, a report on Reddit claims to have a few details on the roles of Keri Russell and Naomi Ackie.
With principal photography on Star Wars: Episode IX officially wrapping last Friday, fans are getting their hopes up all over again that Lucasfilm might finally be ready to reveal the full title of J.J. Abrams’ upcoming trilogy-closer. So far, both Abrams and the studio have stayed fairly mute on the matter, but while we wait for the grand unveiling, a new piece from Inverse offers their suggestion of three words that the title would do well to include.
It only figures that Loki’s demise in Avengers: Infinity War has been subject of such intense scrutiny and speculation, seeing how the former MCU villain has already had two fake deaths in the Marvel saga. But while Thor: The Dark World famously saw the trickster pull a fast one on his brother, Loki’s sacrifice was originally intended to be completely sincere.
This August will mark 50 years since the murder of 26-year-old Sharon Tate at the hands of the Manson Family, and to coincide with this somber anniversary, several projects depicting the late actress are currently on the horizon. The one you may have heard the most about is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which features Margot Robbie in the role of Tate, but before that much-hyped crime drama reaches cinemas, Daniel Farrands’ The Haunting of Sharon Tate will see Hilary Duff offer her take on the title character.
When it was first announced that Ben Affleck would be the official Batman of the DCEU, the decision was met with a fair amount of backlash from those who felt that the Argo star couldn’t cut it as the Caped Crusader. Once 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice arrived in theaters, however, even filmgoers who didn’t care for the movie could usually commend Affleck for his performance.
In the wake of Solo: A Star Wars Story bombing last year, multiple proposed projects were reportedly put on ice at Lucasfilm, including the planned Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone flick. Nonetheless, it remains common knowledge in the Star Wars fanbase that striking Luke Skywalker's old mentor down makes him more powerful than you can possibly imagine, and so a new report from Star Wars News Net alleges that a TV show focusing on Ewan McGregor's character is currently in development.
There’s a reason why flashbacks so often feature in Star Wars: Episode IX hearsay, in that they give the rumor mill license to spin whatever fan fiction it wants without having to fit the alleged scene into the context of the current story (see also: vision sequences). Still, after flashbacks proved such a prominent part of The Last Jedi, we certainly can’t rule out J.J. Abrams’ upcoming film delving into the past, and though this new Reddit report from JediPaxis remains unverified, the content it suggests is at least more plausible than most leaks.
Yesterday, the inevitable announcement finally came that The Punisher would not be renewed for a third season on Netflix, and while both fans and cast members could see the cancelation coming from a mile off, it still came as a blow to hear it.
With principal photography for Star Wars: Episode IX wrapping last Friday, fans are getting their hopes up all over again that a teaser or title reveal could be just around the corner. What most of the internet seems to agree on, however, is that Lucasfilm is unlikely to release a full trailer until April, most likely during Star Wars Celebration, which is held from the 11th to the 15th.
