After Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Daredevil were axed in quick succession, it felt like only a matter of time before The Punisher and Jessica Jones suffered the same fate. Sure enough, the announcement came earlier today that both shows have officially been canceled, meaning that the upcoming third season of JJ will mark the end of the Marvel/Netflix era.
By now, you’ve likely heard the not-so-surprising news that The Punisher and Jessica Jones have officially been canceled, albeit with a third season still to come for the latter.
The promotion for Godzilla: King of the Monsters will probably never top the splendor of last July’s trailer, but subsequent previews haven’t exactly dulled the public’s enthusiasm for the upcoming clash between giants.
With Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Daredevil all getting the axe in quick succession last year, it's felt all but inevitable in these last few months that The Punisher and Jessica Jones would soon get the same treatment, and sure enough, Deadline now reports that the last of the Marvel/Netflix shows have officially been canceled.
2017’s Justice League served as the DCEU finale for director Zack Snyder, and with Ben Affleck now officially retired from the role of Batman, it seems that the same can also be said for the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice star. In fact, with Affleck ending his run here, his departure effectively means that his turn as Bruce Wayne will always be regarded as a product of the Snyder years, making it appropriate that the filmmaker himself now has a few kind words to share in remembrance of the latest big screen Batman to hang up the cape and cowl.
With filming now wrapped on Star Wars: Episode IX, fans are once more getting their hopes up that Lucasfilm may finally be ready to reveal the movie's official title. However, if a recent comment from Morning Blend anchor Mark Allen is anything to go by, then we could still have a few more months to wait until the grand unveiling.
If the latest reports hold true, then Captain Marvel will come out in cinemas a couple of weeks from now with a runtime of 124 minutes, making it one of the shorter MCU flicks of recent years. Once the film arrives on home video, however, you can naturally expect to find a little extra material that didn’t make the theatrical cut, including one sequence that co-director Anna Boden has characterized as kind of bizarre.
As per last Friday’s announcement, principal photography has now been completed for Star Wars: Episode IX, and as the subsequent wrap party unfolded, actor Joonas Suotamo took to the time to shout out one colleague in particular.
With Ronan the Accuser and Korath both set to make appearances in Captain Marvel, it’s clear that the film will have a fair amount of overlap with the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but if the new book Captain Marvel StarForce Mission Log is anything to go by, then there’s a chance that at least one more character from James Gunn’s 2014 feature could be making a return.
By now, we’ve been privy to enough reports of the Knights of Ren featuring in Star Wars: Episode IX for the claim to sound genuinely credible, but according to the sources of Making Star Wars, not everything we’ve heard is correct.
