It’s now been over two years since the release of Alien: Covenant, and so far, we’ve yet to receive any confirmation that another movie is particularly close to going into production. That being said, it at least sounds like a third Alien prequel is currently bubbling in development with the involvement of director Ridley Scott.
At the time of writing, the worldwide box office total of Avengers: Endgame sits at $2.677 billion, meaning that the latest MCU flick still has over $100 million to go before it beats the all-time record held by Avatar. Needless to say, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo wouldn’t mind seeing their movie wrestle the top spot from James Cameron’s sci-fi, and in a recent tweet, the pair made one more push for fans to give the film a re-watch.
Earlier this month, the internet was left reeling from the news that Robert Pattinson was in negotiations for the title role of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. But for all the noise this revelation has made, neither Warner Bros. nor Pattinson himself have been willing to confirm that the gig is his. Nonetheless, a recent Instagram post from DC Comics’ Jim Lee has given fans hope that an official announcement is just around the corner.
In the recent Avengers: Endgame, Thor sported a radical new look that was a far cry from Chris Hemsworth’s typically ripped appearance. According to co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo, the God of Thunder’s latest design was intended as a reflection of his grief and guilt, following on from his failure to prevent the snap. And going by recent comments from Industrial Light and Magic VFX supervisor Russell Earl, the character’s Big Lebowski-style makeover was very much a group effort.
In the wake of the Disney/Fox merger, the future of the Deadpool franchise is in an uncertain place, but it’s the hope of Zazie Beetz that the Mouse House can maintain the spirit of the series.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 may still be at least a couple more years away from release, but James Gunn’s threequel has already been the subject of a fair amount of hearsay and speculation. For example, it’s become a popular prediction that the film will serve as the MCU debut of Adam Warlock, and there’s even a rumor going round that Zac Efron is in the running for the part.
As per the tradition, the recent Captain Marvel featured two post-credits scenes, one of which paved the way for Carol Danvers’ appearance in Avengers: Endgame, while the other served as a last-minute gag based around a new fan favorite.
The recent stream of Avengers: Endgame set material continues with this new photo of Chris Hemsworth, shared via Instagram by his co-star Mark Ruffalo.
If you’d asked your average Marvel fan this time last month who they considered most likely to die in Avengers: Endgame, there’s a very good chance they would’ve said Captain America. Nonetheless, the recent film instead saw Steve Rogers end his run in a pleasingly non-fatal manner, and according to co-writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, the First Avenger’s retirement was well earned.
Almost half a decade on, the first Guardians of the Galaxy continues to draw the scrutiny of the internet, as fans seek to discover the last remaining Easter Egg. And in a new piece from Giant Box of Comics, the case is made that director James Gunn may have hidden a key Marvel character right before our eyes.
