Last night’s Super Bowl TV spot for Avengers: Endgame gave us a lot of images to process by the standards of 30-second videos, but since Marvel Studios is presumably well aware that the pause button exists, there are surely some serious limitations on how much we can learn from a frame by frame assessment of the footage.
While these last few weeks have proven unusually fruitful for Avengers: Endgame reveals, Marvel Studios remains characteristically stingy with actual footage from the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel, meaning that a mere 30-second TV spot can prove more than sufficient in sending ripples through the fanbase.
A couple of days ago, a new photo from the set of the upcoming Birds of Prey seemingly confirmed the old claim that Harley Quinn will have broken up with the Joker by the time the character’s next film comes our way, but if some optimistic fans are to be believed, then the Clown Princess of Crime may have already moved onto another love interest.
In last year’s Avengers: Infinity War, Sam Wilson was met with the same sad fate as half of the universe’s population, but according to Anthony Mackie, Falcon’s demise could’ve and should’ve been a lot more special.
A couple of months ago, Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo sent a few fan theorists back to the drawing board when he said that Chris Evans of Captain America fame is “not done yet,” before adding that people will know “soon enough” what exactly he means by this remark. Assuming this wasn’t another red herring from the Avengers: Infinity War helmsman, it would be all too easy to interpret this claim as a tease that the character of Steve Rogers has further projects lined up beyond Marvel’s Phase 3. But according to a new report from Jim Hill, Disney could be calling on Evans in a very different capacity.
With the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, we may or may not be seeing the end of Chris Hemsworth’s eight-year run in the MCU that started with 2011’s Thor, but if things had gone a little differently, then the Australian star might have left Hollywood before he was even cast as the God of Thunder.
Though it’s widely expected that the upcoming Avengers: Endgame will see the return of many a fallen hero who was snapped out of existence at the climax of Avengers: Infinity War, there are also a few fans who continue to question whether all these characters truly died in the first place, with some suggesting that the disintegrated victims were instead sent to a new location like the Soul World or an alternate dimension. According to Anthony Mackie, however, Falcon has well and truly passed away, at least for the time being.
It’s been a big week for fresh developments on Matt Reeves’ The Batman, and with new information comes a stream of new and updated fan theories speculating on how the Caped Crusader’s next film could play out.
The fact that Lando Calrissian’s return to the main Star Wars series has been saved for the final installment of the Sequel Trilogy means that J.J. Abrams won’t have a whole lot of time to give Billy Dee Williams’ character a meaningful arc to justify his comeback. Nonetheless, a rumor on Reddit has been making the rounds lately that, while unverified, at least offers a suggestion of how Lando’s journey can be brought full circle in a satisfying manner in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX.
The current buzz is strong for Captain Marvel, and if the impressive early ticket sales for Carol Danvers’ big screen debut are anything to go by, then Marvel Studios will have yet another hit on their hands. But while the promotion for the upcoming MCU flick has proven more than sufficient in getting filmgoers pumped, it seems that the studio isn’t done sharing new footage just yet, dropping a fresh TV spot that shows Brie Larson’s character opposite a young Monica Rambeau.
