As much as the fans wish James Gunn would return to Marvel Studios, it's becoming increasingly apparent that Disney is standing by their decision to fire the filmmaker from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with Gunn himself even finding new work in the DCEU. Nonetheless, we've heard it said previously that the studio still plans to use the writer-director’s script for the sequel, and according to a new report, the text packs an emotional wallop.
Though Bumblebee is still a few days away from arriving in cinemas, it’s already clear that Travis Knight’s film will appeal to a lot of viewers who’d long given up on Michael Bay’s Transformers flicks. Nonetheless, the ’80s-set prequel still occupies the same the same sci-fi world as its big and loud predecessors, and so the first of the movie’s two post-credits sequences reminds us of this connection to the wider universe. Be warned that spoilers follow from here.
Anyone who remembers the fake Hulk scene from the Avengers: Infinity War trailer will likely be wary of reading too much into the Avengers: Endgame teaser for potential spoilers, but you can bet that the fans are going to try their best regardless, even if two-and-a-half minutes of potentially misleading footage is all they’ve got to go on. For one thing, the preview’s shot of an old photo of Peggy Carter continues to spawn theories that the end is nigh for Steve Rogers, with a new post on Reddit even suggesting how exactly the character might go.
Though the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame left us with plenty of questions, the footage did offer some confirmation, in case it was needed, that Scott Lang makes it out of the Quantum Realm, and probably pretty early in the picture, too.
Regardless of what fresh material for Avengers: Endgame has come our way in these past few months, the fans theories just keep going back to Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War and his tease of 14,000,605 futures, only one of which sees Earth's Mightiest Heroes come out victorious. And while the forums have offered plenty of suggestions for Stephen’s elaborate plan, one post on Reddit argues that Strange’s strategy went no further than simply doing the right thing at the right time.
Though Aquaman is still a few days away from reaching North American shores, James Wan’s flick is already shaping up to be the success story that the DCEU currently needs, with the film now approaching the $300 million mark in global gross.
While Hugh Jackman remains steadfast in his decision to leave his most famous role in the past, the fans have yet to give up their dream of seeing a Wolverine and Deadpool team-up, and among those pushing for the crossover is the Merc with a Mouth’s own co-creator Rob Liefeld, who argues that the upcoming X-Force film could be just the opportunity for Logan’s comeback.
For anyone still wondering whether Arthur Curry can hold his own as a commercially viable solo superhero, the continuing success of Aquaman in the China market should be all the confirmation you need.
Though the first Avengers: Endgame trailer offered glimpses of several surviving heroes from Avengers: Infinity War, the star of the preview was very much Tony Stark, whose predicament takes up almost an entire minute of the two-and-a-half-minute teaser and continues to spawn fan theories about who could swoop in and save Iron Man before he runs out of oxygen.
With the recent Avengers: Endgame trailer, fans were given the gloomy image of Tony Stark alone and adrift through space, about to starve to death if the lack of oxygen doesn’t take him first, and with his friends back home possibly assuming that he’s already been killed. Nonetheless, the people of Earth are showing their support for the lost hero and offering whatever assistance they can, even if it’s just his favorite pizza in 30 minutes or less.
