The Lucas Cut of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker reportedly included scenes that would have gone over well with fans, including an original cast reunion.
Exegol was a huge part of the finale in the Skywalker saga, and Darth Vader's role in discovering the planet might be the focus of a new Star Wars comic.
Sometimes it’s just hard for us to understand the things celebrities say or do, and other times things just get very bizarre. And as is most common, one such situation recently popped up on social media and started trending for all the wrong reasons. Actor Ray Park who played Darth Maul in the Star Wars franchise was reportedly set to reprise his role as the dual-saber wielding Dathomirian in future projects, but an unexpected Instagram post might just have irrevocably jeopardized the situation.
As Marvel slowly builds up their television universe based on characters from the MCU, we’re going to see all kinds of genre mashups, and WandaVision is bound to be one of the more surreal shows. We don't know too much about it just yet, but according to a recent report, it'll draw inspiration from the Vision Quest arc from the comics.
As the star playing one of the MCU’s most iconic characters, Robert Downey Jr.’s memorable and emotional curtain call as Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame felt like a legitimate loss for the franchise. Fans certainly thought so, and most people are still hoping that Marvel finds a way to bring the Armored Avenger back in some form or other.
In Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) makes the ultimate sacrifice for the team’s mission and the greater good. Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and Natasha play a dangerous game of high stakes sacrifice roulette to earn the Soul Stone. Ultimately, Romanoff ends up taking the literal leap so that Barton can stay alive and see his family again. And while we'll see Johansson suit up one more time in Black Widow, it'll focus on a more personal story that's a prequel.
A large part of Avatar’s success can be attributed to how visually stunning the world of Pandora looked. Even by today’s standards, the 2009 sci-fi blockbuster is one of the prettiest pieces of cinematic eye candy to grace the big screen. Moreover, it ushered in the ubiquity of 3D cinema, with most films since being released in regular 2D alongside their 3D counterpart, even if the experience didn't get any better with the added dimension in most cases.
Giancarlo Esposito might play some of the most iconic and nuanced villains across various franchises, but in real life he seems like a pretty nice guy. Esposito plays the role of Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, an officer in the Galactic Empire who’s made it his mission to track down Mando and The Child. And in the actor’s opinion, The Mandalorian is exactly the kind of show we need right now, one that exemplifies the journey of a true hero.
As far as spinoff movies go, Solo: A Star Wars Story didn’t quite generate the same level of excitement as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story did, and ended up being a fun but forgettable Han Solo origin tale. But one aspect of the pic that did get everyone talking was Darth Maul’s unexpected cameo near the end of the film, a character who was a redeeming element of the Prequel Trilogy and has arguably not been given nearly enough screen time in cinemas.
