So far, all we know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Disney Plus series Armor Wars is that it'll be loosely based on the comic book run of the same name, with War Machine replacing Iron Man as the focus. An educated guess would also point in the direction of Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams playing a major role given that Ironheart was announced on the very same day as Throne's casting, while it presents the ideal opportunity to bring Sam Rockwell's Justin Hammer back into the fold, too.
One of the best moments in Thor: Ragnarok was the performance of Asgardian play The Tragedy of Loki of Asgard, with the God of Mischief overthrowing his father to assume the throne, only to order a massive statue of himself to be built and commission a play based on his own life that painted him as a true hero.
Kevin Feige may have recently confirmed Deadpool 3 as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first canonical R-rated installment, but the Merc with a Mouth will still have to play by the rules when he makes his inevitable cameos across the length and breadth of the world's most popular franchise.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring exploding into theaters and going on to launch one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful franchises in history. To celebrate, Peter Jackson has already been heavily involved in remastering both the first three movies and The Hobbit trilogy in 4K, which the filmmaker claims will create a more seamless viewing experience after the prequels came in for criticism for the high frame rate giving them an artificial sheen.
Bruce Willis' unstoppable desire to appear in as many exclusive VOD releases as possible continues at pace this year, with the action icon set to star in a further five movies before the end of 2021. Four of them are cut from the standard action thriller cloth that's become his bread and butter over the last decade, but he's returning to sci-fi once again in the upcoming Cosmic Sin.
Twelve months ago, even the most optimistic of Justice League fans couldn't have guessed that when the Snyder Cut finally arrived, it would be at least four hours long, and it just goes to show how heavily the theatrical edition was reworked by Joss Whedon under the watchful eye of the Warner Bros. brass.
The Golden Globe nominations were announced yesterday, and as usual, they've generated plenty of debate and more than a little controversy. While the majority of the nominees panned out exactly how you'd expect, there were a few decisions made that raised some eyebrows within the industry, even though nobody takes the ceremony particularly seriously anymore, and back in the pre-COVID-19 era, it was famous for being arguably the booziest and most raucous awards show on the calendar.
It took a while for Ryan Reynolds to reach the summit of the Hollywood A-list, but over the last few years, he's only continued to solidify his position. The multi-billion dollar success and enthusiastic reception that greeted Fox's two Deadpool movies definitely helped, but his expanding business portfolio of outside interests and witty social media presence has seen his star shine brighter than ever in recent times.
If the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Character's Morbius hadn't been delayed twice more in quick succession until January 2022, then we'd comfortably be talking about the greatest year ever for Jared Leto playing long-haired and eccentric weirdos.
