On CW’s Stargirl, the Justice Society of America has an “it” factor. It’s partly what makes them such great heroes. Their inability to not know any better also helps to make them a formidable team. In the first season of Stargirl, the team fighting their way through inexperience was a big reason why they defeated the Injustice Society of America. Resolve and ignorance to the idea that they’re just kids. Now, they have a different problem, one that requires much more than a plucky attitude: Eclipso.
Eclipso has been a villain that has not attacked Courtney, Yolanda, Rick, and Beth physically. Instead, he has attacked them psychologically, mentally, and emotionally. He’s fed on their fears and their doubts to the point that in this past episode Yolanda quit the team. Wildcat is no more. Her guilt over killing Brainwave last season has been on her mind ever since, and there’s no telling if she’ll ever recover.
Yolanda goes to confession in the last episode, hoping for some absolution of her sin. What she gets is Eclipso making her believe in things that aren’t there… or are they? When we see Brainwave speak to her he says that his consciousness is in her mind. It’s enough to make Yolanda go mad.
Courtney being the leader that she is attempts to get Yolanda to talk about these issues hoping that will help her heal. Unfortunately, when the group gets together, Beth isn’t definitive in her support which fractures the team more. The funny thing is, Beth, isn’t wrong for saying the words, “I don’t know.” How could she know? A secret like the one Courtney and Yolanda have kept is a difficult one to spring on the team.
This is why Eclipso is so dangerous. He feeds on the questions, he revels in the cracks that were already in Yolanda’s psyche. Now, as the JSA is splintered, Eclipso is setting his sights on Beth who’s been struggling with her parents failing relationship. She could really use the help of Dr. Midnight. Nonetheless, as long as Eclipso is around Stargirl & Co. have their hands full. It’s going to take more than punching and kicking their way to win this fight.
Stargirl‘s second season is currently airing on the CW Network every Tuesday.
It looks like Marvel’s Avengers next Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired skin has accidentally gotten leaked by Square-Enix. They send out a weekly newsletter highlighting the latest updates alongside recommendations for the players. They recently showcased a new 2008 skin that adapts the original Iron Man armor in the game. To every player’s surprise, we also got a look at a brand new Captain America skin from Avengers: Infinity War. You can check out the first look at the skin here from the latest newsletter:
The game is currently building up to its first raid and the focus has shifted to reworking its core mechanics. We’re seeing developments regarding its gear structure and gameplay loop. Crystal Dynamics continue to provide events and paid skins for those interested, as we receive free DLC. Black Panther was the latest release that offered an entire expansion with Spider-Man on the horizon for PlayStation players. They’ve also teased a big 2022 ahead, which will continue to build upon the game’s core narrative as they prepare for the invasion of the Kree Empire.
Netflix has a lot riding on the upcoming Cowboy Bebop series. It’s their latest attempt at proving they can successfully adapt an anime into live-action, but also tackle one of the most beloved franchises in the genre. It’s a tall order for any company and it may pave the way for their future success in this new endeavour. They have oddly still played coy on showing us full sequences or a trailer, but they did unveil a very faithful adaptation of the original anime’s opening.
Not only that, but we also got our look at the various supporting characters that will join our ragtag gang of space cowboys. The opening does include some hints at upcoming plotlines and familiar characters. It’s a surprising but clever move to showcase that they care about the original inspiration of the franchise. This way, we get a feeling that they are trying to stay true to what the original offered while still adding their own spin. Netflix also shared the first look at Tamara Tunie as Ana, Mason Alexander Park‘s Gren, Alex Hassell as Vicious, and Elena Satine as Julia.
So far, the series looks very impressive but it’ll be important to get a feeling if the adaptation can stay true to the original. Tomorrow Studio will also showcase their ability with handling these franchises, as they’re going to bring Eiichiro Oda‘s One Piece series to Netflix in the near future. Here’s hoping that we’re entering an age where live-action anime adaptations will work.
Chris Hemsworth is officially returning for Extraction 2.
Netflix announced the news during its Tudum event earlier today. Also returning is director Sam Hargrave, as well as producers Joe and Anthony Russo. The first film was written by Joe Russo and proved to be a massive hit for the streaming service.
Hemsworth’s Tyler was thought to have died at the end of the first film when his character was shot and fell into the water, where it was thought he drowned. However, Tyler managed to survive despite it all. In the official teaser, which you can see below, Netflix tagged the teaser as #RakeLives before revealing the sequel was coming “soon.”
A release date has not yet been announced for Extraction 2.
Marvel’s upcoming Eternals film has a lot to unpack, and it looks like it might take some time to do it. It seems that the first indicators on director Chloé Zhao’s large-scale epic’s runtime may clock in at around 2 hours and 36 minutes. The information originates from a Russian site called Kino Metro, which operates as a “Film Distributor Bulletin” in Moscow. This news should be taken with a grain of salt for now, but if it turns out to be true, it would put Eternals just behind Avengers: Endgame as the second-longest film in the MCU. It also hints at an 18+ rating for the film, which is also a curious development given Marvel Studio’s focus on PG-13 releases.
A longer runtime for a movie like Eternals would make a lot of sense. The amount of lore and world-building a story on that scale might require would expand it quite a bit. Jack Kirby crafted a massive, complex universe when he first started writing stories about Ikaris, Sersi, and the Celestials in 1976. Zhao likely won’t be able to tackle all of it in a single project, but a runtime lasting almost three hours would certainly help her try.
While we can’t confirm the time listed by Kino Metro, it should be noted that the site lists other films lengths accurately, like Halloween Kills and The Last Duel. It should also be taken into consideration that the 2 hours and 36-minute mark might just be the current cut of the film, and its runtime could shrink by the time it releases in November.
Ahead of the premiere of Season 2 of The Witcher, the streaming service has given the series an early renewal. The news came during Netflix’s TUDUM event, where they took to Twitter to announced that the series will also be joined by a brand new family-friendly series in the same world, as well as a second anime feature film. It looks like Netflix is all in on The Witcher franchise and there’s going to be a lot more heading our way in the future.
Netflix has seen some success with the series’ first season and the animated spin-off titled Nightmare of the Wolf. The fact they’re renewing it for a third season alongside multiple expansions really showcases the draw this series has for the streamer. They’ve also released a new clip from the upcoming season, which you can check out here:
Would you like another clip from The Witcher Season 2?
TUDUM has been a rather successful event for the streamer, as they showcased some of their biggest upcoming series. Stranger Things got a new trailer and we even got our first look at the DC adaptation of The Sandman. Netflix continues to expand with well-known IPs to continue expanding with other streams offering quite the competition. We’ll see what the future has in store for Netflix as they continue to expand. You can also check out our exclusive on the upcoming One Piece adaptation here.
We Might Finally Know Who is Voicing Kro! Wait, Who the Hell is Kro?
Eternals is next up for Marvel Studios and is going to introduce fans to the most obscure group of heroes and villains yet. The trailer revealed one of those villains: the Deviant warlord Kro. To be sure this Kro looks a whole lot different than his comic book counterpart but now we might know why he sounded so much like Dan Stevens. While talking to Collider, Stevens randomly namedropped the character and since only 0.05% of the population knows who it is, it might just be because he’s voicing him.
Hit Monkey Trailer Indicates He’s Set to Square Off Against Some Killer Foes
Marvel’s animated series Hit Monkey is set to debut on Hulu on November 17th and the first trailer for the series gave brief glimpses of a couple of characters that the merc turned macaque might find himself up against: Daredevil baddie Lady Bullseye and Immortal Weapon Fat Cobra! The trailer didn’t really give any context for their roles in the series, so they might be brief cameos for all we know, but they were certainly cool surprises in what was a fairly intriguing trailer.
Marvel Studios Victoria Alonso Gets Promoted
One of the keys to Marvel Studios continued success is that the people who built it beginning with 2008’s Iron Man have stayed the course and followed their vision. One of those key visionaries, Victoria Alonso, who Kevin Feige called “one of the most dynamic, candid and accessible executives in the industry”, just got herself a new job within the Studio. Alonso is now President of Physical and Post Production, Visual Effects, and Animation Production and we have no idea what that means but it’s great to see Alonso continue to climb the ladder of the company she helped shape.
Here We Go! ‘Super Mario’ Animated Film Has a Bonkers Cast List
One major announcement coming out of Nintendo Direct was the voice cast Illumination’s 2022 Super Mario. The animated film will hit U.S. theaters December 21st, 2022 and has a fully loaded baked potato of a cast. Chris Pratt and Charlie Day will voice Mario and Luigi, respectively, while Anya Taylor-Joy will voice Peach. Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key and more will bring other characters from the iconic franchise to life.
In a Murphy’s Multiverse exclusive, we reported that Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman’s unknown spy character will be sticking around the MCU in future projects. The character, described as a Fury-esque spy, will first be seen doing some shady work in Secret Invasion. Fury. The Contessa. Now this spymaster. Seems like things are going to get real interesting in the MCU. Who do you trust?
‘Aquaman 2’ Will Have a Shark, But Not King Shark
Aquaman andThe Lost Kingdom is rounding out its cast and it looks like they figured that since everyone liked King Shark so much in The Suicide Squad, that they should have a shark too. And since they aren’t using King Shark, they decided to have a telepathic shark!Sounds like this one is going to get pretty wild.
‘Secret Invasion’ Will Be Quake-free
Chloe Bennet will not be reprising her role as Daisy Johnson/Quake in the MCU…at least not yet…and probably not ever. The star of ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. took time out of her day to break the news to her fans via Twitter. Nobody is exactly sure why she did it nor why anyone thought she was in Secret Invasion in the first place, but let’s not facts get in the way of fan theories. On a positive note, she has yet to deny that she will be joining the MCU as Mephisto, so keep your fingers crossed.
During its TUDUM event, Netflix unveiled the first look at its upcoming adaption of The Sandman. To introduce the first look, Netflix brought in creator Neil Gaiman and series lead Tom Sturridge, with Gaiman referring to the series as the definitive adaption of his work.
Along with the first look, Netflix unveiled a series of posters for the series.
It’s been quite some time since we last saw Arthur Curry square off against his brother, Ocean Master, in a battle for the Four Kingdoms and the safety of the surface world. With stakes as high as that, it’s hard to imagine how the sequel, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, may top such a premise. But according to Jason Momoa himself, the stakes are indeed a lot higher in the sequel.
It won’t be long until we get an idea of what the stakes of this film will be since DC Fandome 2021 is less than a month away. Production for the film has been underway since June and just a few weeks ago, Aquaman’s new updated suits were revealed. By the time DC Fandome comes, they’ll likely have some sort of sizzle reel to debut.
As part of its first ever TUDUM livestream event, Netflix unveiled the first look at the upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things.
This season of Stranger Things will introduce the Creel House. The Creel House belongs to Victor Creel, who is played by Freddy Kruger actor Robert Englund. The character is responsible for a gruesome murder in the 1950s and was placed in a psychiatric hospital for the crime. Englund’s casting was first revealed in November 2020.
The fourth season of Stranger Things saw production paused due to the pandemic last year. They ultimately were able to resume production in late 2020. With the constant shift of production, the season has long been delayed. And while an official release date is not available, Stranger Things Season 4 will hit Netflix in 2022.
