2017’s Justice League left fans with a fair few questions, but most of them probably weren’t of the kind that Warner Bros. intended. For one thing, a lot of DC enthusiasts are more interested these days in the film we didn’t get as opposed to the film we did, with calls for the fabled ‘Snyder cut’ continuing to sound through the forums to this day.
Though producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal have both mentioned that Spider-Man: Far From Home takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame (“a few minutes after,” according to the latter), the recent trailer certainly doesn’t give off the impression that the world is still reeling from a series of seismic events that saw the genocide and subsequent resurrection of half the universe’s population. And according to a new fan theory, that’s because the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel will undo more than just the Decimation.
When a certain type of leak becomes an outright trend – as is the case with all these recent LEGO figures of Avengers: Endgame characters in Quantum Realm suits – the internet becomes vulnerable to acts of fakery from fans who are simply hopping on the bandwagon. Nonetheless, though it remains to be seen whether this new image of James Rhodes in a a white outfit is the real thing, it at least gives us something to think about until the next official development comes our way.
In what might well be an attempt to avoid Avengers: Endgame spoilers, the promotion for the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home has so far offered few references to the wider MCU and the various other superheroes who dwell within it. Nonetheless, with the unveiling of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio in the recent trailer, some fans have argued that the new character could boast some significant connections to a certain Doctor Strange.
Despite only being a few months away from release, Avengers: Endgame remains a film that’s shrouded in mystery, but when you add up all the various little clues that we’ve accumulated in the last year or so, it’s clear that we won't exactly be going into the Avengers: Infinity War sequel completely oblivious of what’s to come. A new article from Screen Rant, for instance, compiles everything we know about Tony Stark’s journey in the upcoming flick, and as it turns out, the list isn’t as short as you might think.
There’s a lot of tension going round the Star Wars fanbase these days, and while the ongoing backlash to the franchise’s Disney era can often get pretty indefensible, the conglomerate surely didn’t help matters earlier this week when they came into conflict with popular YouTube channel Star Wars Theory. Thankfully, it seems that Lucasfilm has now stepped in and brought the matter to a speedy resolution.
Last month, director and composer John Carpenter claimed that David Gordon Green knows the 1978 Halloween even better than he does, and we can see this respect for the slasher classic in the number of subtle callbacks and Easter eggs present in Green’s sequel of the same name. But while the recent home release of Blumhouse’s Halloween serves as an opportunity to seek out these references to the franchise’s history, producer Ryan Turek argues that the biggest clues to look for concern a brand new character who defies the formula set by the first film.
Ever since Justice League underperformed at the box office back in 2017, it’s become increasingly apparent that the DCEU is going through a period of transition, with various projects being reworked or put on ice while new films emerge in their place. With that in mind, it’s potentially telling that we haven’t heard anything about the planned Joker and Harley Quinn movie in a good few months, lending a degree of plausibility to a new and unverified report that the film has now been canned.
With Aquaman crossing the $1 billion mark at the global box office just a few days ago, it seems that Warner Bros. has a fair amount of money to throw around these days, and apparently they’re not shy about spending it, with Shazam! costume designer Leah Butler recently indicating that upwards of $10 million total was spent on Billy Batson’s ten suits.
