Avengers: Endgame packs more surprise cameos than any other superhero movie to date, and Marvel Studios did just about all in their power to prevent the filmgoing public from knowing who to expect beforehand. The spoiler security measures in place for the Avengers: Infinity War sequel were so intense, in fact, that one of the film’s cast members reportedly didn’t know she was in the movie until she was sat down in the cinema.
Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak has been addressing old Star Wars myths on Twitter all month, and when it comes to the origins of a certain little droid companion’s name, it turns out that the hearsay had it more or less right.
As a standalone picture that exists in its own independent continuity, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is something of an anomaly in the popular slasher series, so it only figures that it remains one of the franchise’s most divisive entries. But while some fans will tell you that it’s just not a Halloween movie without Michael Myers, the 1982 film certainly has its share of defenders, many of whom would surely appreciate a callback in the upcoming Halloween Kills or Halloween Ends.
A couple of days ago, the news broke that Ewan McGregor was in talks to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for an upcoming Disney Plus show, and a quick scroll through social media should tell you that the fan response so far has been overwhelmingly positive.
Though Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger didn’t go head to head on the big screen until 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason, Paramount Pictures originally had plans to put their hockey-masked killer up against New Line Cinema’s dream demon back when the Friday the 13th franchise was less than a decade old.
Last month, Marvel released a deleted scene from the recent Avengers: Endgame in which James Rhodes asks Steve Rogers a question that has been bothering a section of the MCU fanbase for years: Why didn’t Cap jump out of the plane before it crashed?
After the lukewarm responses received by the first two Thor movies, 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok marked a refreshing change of pace for the God of Thunder’s solo series, while providing the MCU with one of its more memorable villains. But while Taika Waititi's cosmic adventure would sit pretty high in the Marvel Studios rankings for many a moviegoer – including, apparently, Quentin Tarantino – Hela herself, Cate Blanchett, would still single out Captain Marvel as her personal favorite.
Last month, Oscar-winner Natalie Portman took to the stage at San Diego Comic-Con and lifted the mythical Mjölnir, marking Jane Foster as the MCU’s next Thor.
Marvel Studios has long made it clear that their planned Disney Plus shows will have a large amount of overlap with future movies. For example, we already know that 2021’s WandaVision will connect directly to the subsequent Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. What’s more, according to a new report from FandomWire, the upcoming Loki spin-off series will set up a fan-pleasing development in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder. And if all we’re hearing is true, then be warned that some potential spoilers lie ahead.
