In many fans' eyes, the still-breaking news regarding the split between Marvel Studios and Sony has thrown the until-now confident return of Spider-Man into dispute. But don't worry, everybody, your friendly, neighborhood hero will still return one day.
We've still got a whole lot of time to find out what Marvel has planned for Black Panther 2, as fans were quick to notice that the highly-anticipated sequel was left out of the studio's Phase 4 slate at San Diego Comic-Con, but given that Ryan Coogler's first film made $1.3 billion worldwide, a return to Wakanda's pretty much guaranteed. And apparently when it happens, Martin Freeman's CIA Agent Everett Ross will be tagging along again for the ride.
Even Mark Hamill's commented on the Star Wars franchise's tendency to provide its Jedi masters with "curtain calls" as Force Ghosts. Ever since Alec Guinness' Ben Kenobi reemerged following his body's vanishment in A New Hope, we've seen the likes of Yoda and Anakin Skywalker take this glowing form. And while a lot of fans weren't too happy to see Luke join those ranks in The Last Jedi, one wild theory suggests that his time as a ghost began long before the events of Rian Johnson's controversial film.
