  • New ‘Hawkeye Funko Pops Unveiled for Kate and Clint Revealed

    New ‘Hawkeye Funko Pops Unveiled for Kate and Clint Revealed

    Always wanted to get into the Christmas spirit with the perfect ugly sweaters? So did Kate Bishop and Clint Barton did in the latest episode of Hawkeye. While one would expect a Yelena Belova-inspired Funko given her return at the end of the episode, but Funko was embracing the Christmas spirit and shared two new Funkos of our favorite new duo in their Holiday outfits, as they took some time to unwind. And yes, Clint even has his Grumpy Cat print on the sweater.

    The designs are great, but, strangely, they wouldn’t want to bank on the return of a popular character from Black Widow. Her new suit probably won’t appear again with the iconic Sam Fisher-inspired look, as teased by some of the other trailers. So, they might add one in a more iconic look for the character later on. Of course, they might also release multiple sets this time around, and are keeping it alongside another new reveal with a certain “uncle.” Interestingly, Kate has the most amount of Funko Pops in the collection, but given the focus, she gets in the series it makes sense she’ll get highlighted quite a bit. Plus, she goes through the most looks in the series.

  • Marvel Studios Confirms ‘Eternals’ Disney+ January Release

    Marvel Studios Confirms ‘Eternals’ Disney+ January Release

    It looks like we finally have confirmation that Eternals will release on Disney+ early next year, as Marvel Studios took to Twitter to share a new poster confirming its release date. It’ll start streaming as of January 12th and bring the storyline of the Celestial-born creations to the streaming service. The release date was first hinted at a few weeks ago due to it following the new streaming deal that Disney made with theaters that closed the window on releases with a new 70-day window. The announcement comes alongside a slightly updated poster with the new Disney+ release.

    The film has been performing quite well in the local box office and has even passed Black Widow, but that film did release during a very uncertain time and also gained quite a bit of traction through being one of the few simultaneous releases on Disney+ for the House of Mouse. It’ll be interesting to see if Eternals gets a second life on the streaming service, as we still have no idea if we’ll get a sequel or spinoff from the series. After Shang-Chi finally got a confirmation, we’ll see what the future holds for the Eternals and Celestials..

  • Tom Holland Hopes For Spider-Man to Clash With Wilson Fisk After ‘No Way Home’

    Tom Holland Hopes For Spider-Man to Clash With Wilson Fisk After ‘No Way Home’

    Spider-Man: No Way Home finally releases next week. With numerous villains returning from previous Spider-Man franchises there has been a lot of discussion about future adventures for the webhead. Sony producer Amy Pascal has even suggested there is another trilogy starring Tom Holland in the works. Such a rich comic history means there are lots of suggestions out there about where this Peter Parker could go next. Vincent D’Onofrio recently revealed he’s hoping, if those returning rumors turn out to be true, his Wilson Fisk could go up against Spidey at some point in the future. Holland himself has even had a few similar ideas. 

    In an interview with Fandom.com Tom Holland was asked about some of his ideas for a fourth Spider-Man film could be. He mentions thinking it would be fun to do either an anti-hero version or a low-budget “film about Peter Parker that has nothing to do with Spider-Man.” Both of these suggestions seem in the realms of possibility somehow. His suggestions at a villain are also quite interesting:

    I think there are some interesting villains, I think Madame Web could be something that is really interesting and we could do it in our own way. I’d really like to come up against Wilson Fisk.

    Tom Holland

    Sometimes fanciful ideas during the promotion of the previous film are worth taking note of to see whether they remerge as genuine continuations of the story. Spider-Man fighting the Kingpin would certainly be an exciting street-level story for Marvel fans. There are numerous rumors about Netflix Marvel characters joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Kevin Feige has teased that. It could be the perfect time for Spidey to reorient himself away from multiversal Avengers level threats back down tackling crime on street level.

  • First ‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Teaser Offers First Look at Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald

    First ‘The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Teaser Offers First Look at Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald

    It was over a year ago that we heard the first rumblings that Johnny Depp was getting replaced in the third entry of the Fantastic Beasts franchise. After making his debut as Grindelwald, he exited the project after production had already begun. Mads Mikkelsen took over the role shortly after. Not too long ago, we got the title of the third entry The Secrets of Dumbledore and we finally got our first look at the entry. While it’s not the fault trailer just yet – that’s eyeing a Monday release – we did get our first look at Mikkelsen as the series main antagonist.

    It’s uncertain what exactly is happening in this sequence, as it seems like he’s being cheered on or even grabbed by a massive group of people. The character has quite a different design from the previous entries, as his bleached white hair is gone with only a slither left behind. His outfit also seems a bit more reserved from Depp‘s take on the character. It’ll b einteresting to see how they tackle the transformation, as it may play similar to how he was revealed in the first one.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Tom Root on Patrick’s Journey as A Squire in ‘Crossing Swords’

    EXCLUSIVE: Tom Root on Patrick’s Journey as A Squire in ‘Crossing Swords’

    It’s rare for adult animated comedies to put in the work to develop their characters, but it’s not all that uncommon. Crossing Swords is one of those shows that tries to fully develop all of its characters. However, it’s the protagonist, Patrick, that really gets the most development in both seasons of the show. 

    In an exclusive interview with Tom Root, one of the creators of Crossing Swords, we talked about developing Patrick’s story for the series. As far as Root sees it, Patrick has a couple of paths as far as his story goes, either he’s going to become the hero or he’s going to become the greatest villain. As it stands, Patrick’s journey is still being written.

    “Well, he’s going down the path he needs to go down because he’s still learning. He found out in Season 1 that being a Knight and chasing this dream would mean that he’s gonna have to make a lot of compromise, and in Season 2, he’s gonna find out just how far those compromises are gonna push him. Like, we think that he is going to find a breaking point down the road, and he’s either going to have to figure out a way to become a hero without compromise, or he’s going to snap and become the greatest villain in the entire land. We haven’t written that part yet.

    Tom Root

    Root’s tease of Patrick possibly traveling down a much darker path in the future would be an interesting development in the series. Since Season 1, Patrick has been the stereotypical boy scout, who tries to be the best he can be in his own occupation. Even Seth Green agrees that Patrick traveling down a darker path wouldn’t be an unwelcome surprise.

    I mean evil Patrick, or Patrick breaking bad, thats not necessarily the worst pitch

    Seth Green

    Season 2 of Crossing Swords is streaming now on Hulu. The series was created by Tom Root and John Harvatine IV, with Seth Green serving as an executive producer.

  • Tom Holland Already Pitched a ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Sequel

    Tom Holland Already Pitched a ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Sequel

    Spider-Man: No Way Home is just around the corner and we’re about to see the webhead’s biggest story yet. He’s going to face villains from other Spider-Man franchises as the multiverse collapses in on itself. Yet, the question also remains with his identity out there where his story is heading to next. It seems that Tom Holland might have an idea, as he revealed in an interview with Fandom that he actually already pitched an idea for the next entry, but he can’t reveal it quite yet, as he’d “be ruining this movie.”

    So, he’s definitely teasing something that builds off of the events from how No Way Home ends. He does highlight that he is open to passing the mantle on, but it doesn’t seem likely that the actor has played Spidey for the last time. Plus, there’s a lot of potential of seeing his story as he moves to college and faces a new world. We’ll see how Doctor Strange’s actions might leave the world and what it means for the webhead’s future. It wouldn’t be too surprising that he might take a break and play on his storyline from Homecoming, where he wants to stay low and remain the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Here’s hoping that a new trilogy – if they attempt it – might focus more on our favorite webhead as he struggles with some more grounded storylines.

  • First ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Clip Features ‘Hawkeye’ Easter Egg

    First ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Clip Features ‘Hawkeye’ Easter Egg

    It’s all connected. That line was once carried by Agents of SHIELD as it tried to connect the Marvel TV series with its bigger brother on the silver screen. Yet, no matter what happened, the films never acknowledged events from the TV series. Avengers: Endgame was the first with James D’Arcy’s return as Jarvis but it was most likely intended as nothing more than a cameo. With the arrival of the Disney+ series, it seemed like that would change and it seems Spider-Man: No Way Home is starting that new direction.

    The first clip of the threequel has found its way online and includes a very noticeable Hawkeye reference while Peter is swinging MJ to safety. For a few seconds, you can see the newly introduced Rogers: The Musical ad highlighted as they swing by. It’s a great point of continuity that the musical has a strong presence in New York City and also hints that they may take place around the same time.

    Of course, this doesn’t mean that Spidey is suddenly going to show up in Hawkeye – even if that would be a great little surprise – but it continues to highlight how connected Marvel Studios’ various projects are going to be. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will also be the first series where events from the Disney+ series WandaVision will bleed into the latest film entry and it’ll be interesting to see how they might connect moving forward.
