Ever since it was first announced that Hawkeye's Alaqua Cox would be getting her own Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff series on Disney Plus, the majority of talk surrounding Echo has named it as a potential destination for Kevin Feige's franchise to reintegrate the cast of Netflix's Daredevil.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming cosmic epic Eternals is one of the franchise's most ambitious projects to date; a sprawling saga spanning several thousand millennia that needs to introduce a dozen new characters, establish their motivations, explain why they've spent so long hiding in the shadows and set them up as the newest super team on the block.
The infamous Writers Guild of America strike put Quantum of Solace into a very difficult position, with longtime James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson admitting they were screwed from the outset after production and release deadlines forced them to start shooting Daniel Craig's second outing as 007 without a finished script.
Ever since the rights to the former Netflix properties began reverting back to Marvel Studios, barely a week goes by without one of the Defenders being heavily linked with a re-debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Much like Andrew Garfield, nobody believes Charlie Cox when he repeatedly insists that he isn't going to show up in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which must be frustrating for the actor. In fact, it's an unwinnable situation all-round, with fans hedging their bets on Netflix's former Daredevil making his official canonical Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
DreamWorks Animation's Bee Movie is notable for several reasons, none of which have to do with the quality of the movie. Critically and commercially, it was about as middle of the road as it gets; the family film netted a decent box office haul of $293 million and a bang average Rotten Tomatoes score of 49%, so it wasn't a smash hit or a flop.
James Gunn is currently in the final stretch of pre-production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, with cameras set to start rolling before the end of the year. The filmmaker has confirmed that it'll be his last time directing a movies starring the motley crew of thieves, petty criminals and now universe-saving heroes, while Dave Bautista is also bowing out as Drax.
It might be animated, but Marvel's What If...? is still official franchise canon, with each installment unfolding in a different pocket of an infinite multiverse. This week's episode rewrote the rules in a major way, with the Vision/Ultron hybrid conquering space and time, setting his sights directly on the Watcher.
