Now almost an unofficial addendum to any talk of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the idea of Disney and Lucasfilm giving far too much away and explaining everything ad nauseam is a common one. Still, it was a nice surprise to discover a hidden detail that links to the Original Trilogy and feels like added value rather than mansplaining.
If you're thinking of robbing someone, don't attempt it mere meters from where Avengers: Infinity War star Benedict Cumberbatch spends large amounts of his time.
It's no longer a secret that The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is slowly being phased out of the hit AMC show. It remains to be seen if this is an irreversible decision, with Grimes buying the proverbial farm, or if he's just parting ways with the group he's lead since Atlanta. Whichever way it goes, what we know for sure is that there'll only be six episodes of Rick Grimes when season 9 airs in October.
Gunn's irreverent sense of humour is inherent in his directorial style and would be a welcome culture shock in the DCEU, not least as it's most criticised for it's sombre, brooding tone, which then flips to forced frivolity.
It was revealed this week that there's going to be a new sheriff in town for the upcoming ninth season of The Walking Dead. Reports emerged that Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes, the once-reluctant group leader, will only appear in six episodes of the new season before departing for good and as such, there's now speculation that he's about to go the same way as his son, Coral - sorry, Carl - and bite the dust
Once the sobbing had died down, the wreaths had been laid and the goodbyes were said, the most common criticism of Infinity War was the feeling that it's only half a movie. Albeit a pretty hefty half (with Avengers 4 making up the second part), there was something in the back of most people's minds when the bodies hit the floor. Or drifted off into the air, depending on the body.
It's been publicized far and wide that Disney and Lucasfilm's Solo: A Star Wars Story has failed to set the box office alight in the same ways as its Star Wars siblings. However, early predictions are suggesting that the standalone movie may still occupy the number one spot at theaters come this weekend. Can that be enough to reverse the fortunes of our favourite scruffy-lookin' nerf herder, though?
When it was intimated that Solo: A Star Wars Story would feature the infamous Kessel Run, there came a collective groan from a universe of Star Wars fans that could be heard all the way in the Outer Rim. Never since 1977 had the Kessel Run needed to be explained and the confusion over how Han, Chewie and the Millenium Falcon completed it in 12 Parsecs fuelled many a theory. Mainly as it was acknowledged that the Parsec was a unit of distance, not of time.
As if MCU fans' spider-senses aren't tingling enough already, the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel has just fallen foul of some major potential plot leaks.
Should disability be a part of the diversity discussion? Nyle DiMarco thinks so. The model and disability activist brings attention to Hawkeye's deafness in certain strains of the comic book and wonders why this hasn't been incorporated into the MCU yet. With Avengers 4 looming on the horizon, is there any chance of disability representation in our comic book movies?
