We’re only a few days away from the home release of Eternals, which will be made available digitally. It’s also getting a Disney+ release to subscribers that have been waiting for their chance to revisit the Chloé Zhao film. With the release, we also get our first look at some of the bonus features that offer a look at what didn’t quite make it into the film’s theatrical release.
The first deleted scene, as shared by @UPDATESETERNALS offers a discussion between Makkari and Sprite. It takes place around the time they found her in their old spaceship, as she started holding artifacts from human history. They discuss if it’s worth saving humanity with a special focus being given to the Avengers win over Thanos. You can check it out here:
The scene highlights the core message for Sprite’s conflict later on, but also gives us more insight into why Makkari became a hoarder. It would’ve been great if they included this reference in the film to offer a better glimpse into what Makkari was up to all this time. It may have also helped with some people that were a bit surprised by Sprite’s decision later in the film.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has been dominating the international box office even as concerns over the Omicron variant dominate. Well, those that didn’t have a chance to see the film in theaters luckily won’t have to wait too long until it is made available. Fandango’s digital retailer Vudu has shared that the latest Sony release will be made available digitally on the service. Pre-orders are also live for the standard definition (SD), high definition (HDX), and 3K UHD each priced at $19.99.
As ComicBook points out, there are no plans for a release on Disney+, as it’s more likely to be made available through Starz or Netflix due to deals Sony made. There was one made with Disney back in 2021, which might bring the film to the streaming service at some point, but very likely not before 2023. As such, the film will mostly be made available through video-on-demand services for anyone who missed out on the opportunity to see it in theaters.
No WayHome was a powerful new entry for the Spider-Man franchise that pays tribute to the earlier cinematic entries while setting up the future for Tom Holland‘s take on the character. Given how many cameos the film includes, it’ll be quite exciting to see what may have ended up on the cutting room floor that’ll be made available with the home release.
Marvel Studios streaming series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier allowed Sebastian Stan to showcase his talents and really dive deep into who Bucky Barnes was. By the time the season was over, Bucky had seemingly moved on from the haunting memories of his time as The Winter Soldier and was, for the first time in nearly 100 years, free to move on and purse a life of his own choosing.
Like many of the other characters from the Disney Plus streaming series, it’s clear that there’s another chapter in Bucky’s story waiting to be told, but it isn’t clear when that chapter will be told. While it makes sense the Stan would reprise the character in CaptainAmerica 4, there’s hardly been any word on that film, much less its cast. With so many people wondering when we’d see Bucky next and no clear answer, Collider went right to the source, asking Stan when he’d next appear in the MCU during an interview for his next film The 355.
I don’t know. Per usual, I can’t answer that question. I have no clue, but look, I think it’s sort of about seeing what’s next for him, right? To some extent, the show, I felt, really graduated him to another level of experience and taking on his past a lot better and gave him another sense of place and sense of family that he’s found there with Sam. So he’s in a pretty good spot right now. I’d be curious to see what the next interesting thing that we could tell with him would be, and as you well know, that is above my pay grade. There are far wiser men and women who are making those decisions.
Stan did go on to promise that Bucky was not among the multitude of rumored cameos in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Animated projects aside, it doesn’t seem as though Stan has been a part of any of Marvel Studios projects that have wrapped recently or are still filming, meaning it might be until 2023 before the live-action return of Bucky Barnes. But as much as Stan loves playing the character and as much as fans love him, there’s certainly a future in store for him.
Marvel Studios first canonical animated series, What If…?, introduced fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Variants of dozens of their favorite characters. From Party Thor, to a redeemed Thanos, to one character who was immediate a fan favorite: T’Challa Star-Lord.
Taken by accident by Ravagers looking for Peter Quill, T’Challa took on the mantle of Star-Lord and had a major impact on the events of his universe. Voiced by Chadwick Boseman, T’Challa Star-Lord eventually came back home to Wakanda and was reunited with his family who had long thought him dead. Now, fans can add a great looking Funko Pop! version of the character to their collection at Entertainment Earth.
Shipping this month, the Funko comes with a stand allowing T’Challa to take flight. The collectible show T’Challa Star-Lord complete with his mask, gun and jet boots and makes for a great addition to any Funko collection, especially beside the other pieces from the What If…? wave.
You can order your T’Challa Star-Lord for $11.99 by clicking here.

1. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness This I’m sure is on most people’s most-anticipated lists, but it still has to be mentioned. The MCU is about to really get into the multiverse, and there are countless possibilities for the film to explore. That, plus Sam Raimi’s return and the horror elements its supposed to bring, makes Doctor Strange’s second solo outing the easiest movie to be excited about in 2022.
2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) Also like a lot of people, I absolutely adore Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. While I’m always wary of sequels to incredible or near-perfect movies, I’m glad Spider-Verse is getting the recognition it deserves and was not a one-off.
3. Everything EverywhereAll At Once All I really know about this movie is the trailer, but it looks absolutely wild. Michelle Yeoh as the lead is enough for me, but Everything Everywhere All At Once looks emotional, colorful, action-packed, and mind-boggling. Plus it fits the multiversal theme of the rest of this list.

1. The Batman Matt Reeves’ undertaking of the caped crusaders franchise is most fascinating. This movie can be a game changer not only for DC films, but tv as well. With the spin-offs and sequels planned, the building out of this universe has a lot riding on this movie. With a great cast headlined by Robert Pattinson, The Batman could be a changing of the guard of how success can be achieved with a singular character.
2. Dr. Strange In The Multiverse OfMadness With the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the next Dr. Strange movie has an epic feel. Rumors aside, we have the Scarlet Witch returning and the debut of America Chavez. The possibilities of what this movie can be are tantalizing. Another underrated story of this movie, the return of Mordo. However his character returns, his arc in the first film is one that echoes the mistakes of Strange in No Way Home. The bill comes due. Always.
3. Thor: Love and Thunder After Thor: Ragnarok and what Taika Waititi was able to do for the character, this movie is going to be quite the spectacle. Jason Aaron’s run of Thor being adapted with Jane Foster taking the mantle will be interesting. The Guardians of the Galaxy are involved, how much will they be? You also can’t talk about this movie without mentioning that Christian Bale has been cast as Gorr the God Butcher. When you talk about comic book lore, that’s as good as it gets. Add Valkyrie, Korg, and some of our other Thor favorites, and we’re guaranteed for a fun time. Russell Crowe is in this movie too! It’s hard to not be excited about what this film can be.

I am quite excited for 2022, as it not only continues the momentum built from the last year but will also be the anniversary of some of my favorite franchises. Kingdom Hearts will celebrate its 20th anniversary, the live-action One Piece series will finally start production, and rumors are hinting at the Persona franchise finally getting an announcement for its sixth entry. As there’s a lot of uncertainty about what and how true the rumors are, there are enough exciting official announcements to look forward to. From a gaming perspective, I am excited to finally get my hands on God of War: Ragnarok. The story of Kratos and Atreus ended on a massive cliffhanger in the first, and with this ending the Norse storyline, it’ll have a lot to offer to fans of the franchise. I am also highly anticipating the release of The Batman, as the expansion of a Batman-centric universe is an idea I adore and the direction seems quite promising. On the Marvel side, I am quite excited for their live-action adaptation of Moon Knight. It seems like a darker direction for an MCU entry, and Oscar Isaac is the perfect choice to explore the broken mind of Marc Spector.

1. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever The introduction of Ironheart gets delivered here, plus the introduction of Namor to the MCU after some teases. The biggest draw for me, as a huge Black Panther fan, is to see how they handle T’Challa’s story. Some folks have spoiled some of the bigger parts of this, which was not ok, and that has really soured the experience for me. As a person of color, T’Challa is our hero: heck, my 3 year old daughter loves Black Panther, and so to have callousness and disregard for those who this was more than a movie for is ridiculous. Be that as it may, RyanCoogler delivered the best origin story in MCU history with Black Panther and now its time to set his sights on Captain America: Winter Soldier for the best sequel. I really can’t wait for this.
2. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness More multiverse shenanigans? Sign me up. Strange Supreme? All in. All the rumors in Spider Man’s last film are going to pale in comparison to what we will have here, and I couldn’t be more excited. The selling point for me is that we get Strange v the Scarlet Witch at some point, and that’s worth the price of admission alone.
3. Thor: Love and Thunder When we last left Odinson, he was going off to discover who he is with the Guardians of the Galaxy. We don’t know how his story moves their story on the chessboard, but we do know this will introduce Mighty Thor and a man who butchers Gods for a living. I’ve long theorized that Phase 4 will have our legacy heroes transitioned, and this, in my opinion, is no different. I think Thor meets his maker in Christian Bale’s Gorr. I, also, think the Necrosword returns via a symbiotic nature.

1. The Batman I’ve never understood DC’s inability to build a proper world around the character on their roster with the most well-developed world. My hope is that Matt Reeves’The Batman changes that and gives us not only a new take on the Caped Crusader, but seeds the world for the development of dozens of other characters and stories over the next decade.
2. She-Hulk When this series was originally announced, it certainly wasn’t one at the top of my list of projects about which I was excited. However, as I’ve learned more about it during development and production, I have become incredibly excited about it. It sounds, to me, like the most different thing Kevin Feige and The Parliament have attempted so far and I have continued to hear nothing but praise for Tatiana Maslany’s performance. It also sounds like it’ll set up some of the stories fans have wanted to see told in the MCU for a while now and really dive into what it means to be a Hulk.
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi This sounds like the kind of series we don’t need because we already know how Kenobi’s story ends. But the same could have been and was said about Rouge One, which now stands as one of the best modern Star Wars productions. As a kid, I always wondered what Kenobi got up to in that old hut and what all that stuff was. Now I am just a few months away from finding out.

1. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part 1) Must I really explain this? Into the Spider-Verse remains the greatest comic book film of all the time, and I have immensely high hopes for the sequel. Bring on Miguel O’Hara!
2. Moon Knight What can I say? I’ve got a type, and it’s Oscar Isaac. Hopefully the actor will be able to deliver a truly unique and unforgettable performance as one of Marvel’s strangest “good guys”. That teaser alone was enough to get my gears going.
3. The Boys, Season 3 I would die for Frenchie. And I can’t wait to see this season give him a truly positive storyline where nothing bad happens. That’s what’s going to happen, right? Right??

1. The Last of Us I distinctly remember playing The Last Us for the first time in 2013 and feeling a bit underwhelmed, perhaps because I wasn’t patient enough to let the game hit its stride. When I gave it the time it needed, it became one of my favorite videogame/cinematic experiences ever. The Last of Us: Part II doubled down on it and has now been thoroughly recognized as the masterpiece it is. With Neil Druckmann (writer) and Gustavo Santaolalla (composer) being back for the TV adaptation, I cannot wait to see what they have to offer this time around. The incredible cast featuring the likes of Pedro Pascal, Ana Torv, Bella Ramsey, and Nick Offerman make it hard not to expect it to become a classic adaptation in the making.
2. Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (Part One) Even with the latest Spider-Man MCU entry being recognized as a major cinematic achievement by critics and fans alike, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse remains, in my book, the best ever Spidey-flick. With Phil Lord and Christopher Miller reunited in writing the screenplay (Miller was only a producer in the original feature), and with the idea of pushing the visual boundries even further, keeping audiences just as flabbergasted and enthralled as in 2018, how can we all not be expecting something equally special and unique? Speaking of in-theater cinematic experiences this might be my most anticipated project of them all.
3. Moon Knight In what concerns the super-hero genre (if there even is such a thing) 2022 will bring us a number of projects bringing back familiar characters already introduced previously. With this in mind, Moon Knight stands out both because it will bring us a fresh take on a character that has yet to make its live-action debut but also because of the talent involved. Oscar Isaac has been one of the most interesting actors to follow for the past few years and his take on the multifaceted titular character might end evolving into a top-tier Marvel performance. And by bringing Ethan Hawke into the MCU, working opposite Isaac, we are surely getting one of the most riveting Marvel Disney+ shows, performance wise, to date.

1. The Batman Everything we’ve seen from the film has been absolute stunning, from the casting to the cinematography and score it’s shaping up to be the definitive Batman film.
2. Black Adam At first, I would’ve aked “why would we need a Black Adam movie?” but I think everything we’ve heard and seen is incredibly exciting. The big screen debut of the Justice Society is what really has me amped as they’re my favorite team in comics.
3. She-Hulk Possibly one of my favorite marvel characters next to Ghost Rider and Black Bolt, the show looks to be something very special and unique. I’m excited to see Tatiana Maslany bring Jennifer Walters to life.
Rektangular’s original information indicated that a comic-based Avengers wave would be hitting shelves in September of this year. It now appears that wave has been moved up to April, meaning it’ll be available for pre-order soon, and with the move comes more information about which figures collectors can expect. According to Rektangular, the wave will contain the following seven figures:
Thor Iron Man Quake Blue Marvel Speedball Madame Hydra U.S. Agent
The inclusion of Quake is sure to get fans of Agents of S.H,I,E.L.D. speculating about Chloe Bennet’s return to the role; however, the wave is comic-based and not related to any of Marvel Studios upcoming projects, so this figure should not be taken as an indication of her joining the MCU. Collectors should still be excited though, as this is the first time the character has been made available in the Legends line. Blue Marvel and Speedball will also make their first appearances as Legends, with Speedball joining fellow New Warriors Night Thrasher and Firestar as characters who have recently been produced.
Peacemaker is almost upon us just a few months after his first live-action appearance in The Suicide Squad. He is quite the oddball, on a quest for peace that includes killing anyone and anything that gets in his way, sporting a colorful outfit and a chrome dome that helps him stick out like a sore thumb even more than he did before. His helmet is his most iconic feature, and it seems the Peacemaker series is going to run wild with infinite possibilities as to what these helmets could be.
The past few trailers for Peacemaker have given us a look at a few new helmets in the series. We get a glimpse at Christopher Smith’s base of operations that includes a display case full of unique helmets, which in the comics have different functions. A new pop-up event for the HBO Max series features a display case with a few new helmets that we have yet to see before and gives us names for said helmets.
Closer photos of the different types of #Peacemaker helmets. Undewater World, Screwdriver, and Itchy Ban.
One of the first helmets is an “Underwater World” that most likely gives him the ability to breathe and see underwater. The next is reminiscent of his early helmets, featuring an obscenely and comically large fin that’s dubbed the “Screwdriver.” His final helmet is called the “Itchy Dan” and is a basic Peacemaker but instead features a forehead of spikes that could prove quite useful in a headbutting match. It’ll be interesting to see if he wears these helmets or if they are simply a closer look at what else his display case includes.
Here’s some sad news, as even in a world filled to the brim with spinoffs and sequels, it seems that Warner Bros. has no plans for any expansion of the recently resurrected The Matrix franchise. The Matrix Resurrections – fitting title – wasN’t a cheap film to produce with $190M and there were expectations it would make bank at the box office. Yet, it currently stands at $106M globally and is struggling to even make its production budget back. It sadly even had the biggest drop in its second week.
There has been no word how the film performed on HBO Max as part of its simulcast release, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, it may have joined the top five. Box office analyst Jeff Bock had the following statement regarding its sub-par performance:
The fact that Resurrections is heavily meta doesn’t help attract new audiences either. Truth is, the multiplex masses weren’t on board
So, while HBO Max’s performance is optimistic there’s another issue that is adding some uncertainty about a future for the franchise. Lana Wachowski has not signed on for more films after directing the latest legacy sequel, and Keanu Reeves‘ contract does not include sequel options. As such, even if they move forward with sequels it doesn’t mean that the actor will also make a definite return. Even with a strong performance on the streamer, mostly related to its older audience, there has not been an official word by Warner Bros. For now, it seems like we might be in for another long wait.
One of the great mysteries surrounding Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has been the identity of Bill Murray’s secret character. The legendary funny man accidentally revealed his own involvement with the film some time ago, despite zero confirmation from the powers that be at Marvel Studios. Now, he’s finally given fans an idea of the role he’ll play in the film.
While making an appearance on the latest episode of The Eli Manning Show, the Ghostbusters star had this to say about his character:
…I’m a bad guy.
Bill Murray
It’s quite straightforward without giving away any details. Murray as a villain is quite a surprising direction and we can’t wait to see him take on this role. We’ll see what he’ll add to stand out from Marvel Studios’ roster of villains, who have varied from truly memorable antagonists, like the Mad Titan Thanos or the recent addition of Wenwu, to those forgotten to time. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania arrives in theaters on July 28, 2023.
Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to dominate the box office.
The superhero flick is on its way to passing $700 million domestically, after pulling in $8.3 million on Friday. Current estimates have it on track for a $30 million weekend in its fourth weekend. That’s only a 45% drop from the New Year’s box office. This will push the film to $650 million domestically, with the film expected to hit $666 million by Sunday. With the film continuing to hold, it seems likely the film will cross $700 million at the domestic box office in the next week or two — an incredibly impressive feat, even pre-pandemic.
Big $8.3M FRI for #SpiderManNoWayHome on its way to about $30M in its 4th wknd for an encouraging 45% drop from New Years holiday wknd. Domestic #boxoffice cume will break $650M today and climb to about $666M thru SUN heading quickly to $700M+ club…in a pandemic!
$666 million is enough to push No Way Home past Titanic ($659.3 million), while also pushing it to the sixth-highest grossing movie. The only big new release this weekend, The 355, failed to serve as any competition for No Way Home. The Simon Kinberg film – which he co-wrote, directed and produced – only took in $4.3 million. That is well below the projected $20 million the studio was hoping for going into the weekend.
