    RUMOR: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Special Features Includes A New Matt Murdock Deleted Scene

    Spider-Man: No Way Home is filled to the brim with cameos, heartfelt storytelling, and memorable moments. It made you wonder how much we might expect from the Blu-ray release of what didn’t make it into the film, as 100 minutes of bonus content was teased early on. Insider Amit Chaudhari has seemingly released the entire list of special content, which includes the various deleted scenes. what stands out is “Happy’s Very Good Lawyer” which may tease an extension of Charlie Cox‘s return as Matt Murdock.

    There also seems to be an extended interrogation sequence as well as more of Peter’s return to Midtown High. Of course, there are no exact details included to what the names mean and it doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily get more of Cox, but it may hint at how he ended up as Peter’s lawyer in the film. You can check out the full list right here:

    Amit has been reliable in the past, and it’s unsure if the list might still undergo some changes ahead of its home and digital release. 100 minutes of No Way Home is certainly an exciting prospect and it makes you wonder if we’ll see more of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. It would be fun to get some small snippets from behind-the-scenes footage that teases their grins wearing the iconic outfits again. We’ll see what it has in store for fans once it releases.

  • Latest ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Promo Art Focuses on Doctor Strange and His Variants

    Latest ‘Multiverse of Madness’ Promo Art Focuses on Doctor Strange and His Variants

    Quite a few bits of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness merchandise have found their way online featuring mostly a look at the supporting cast of the upcoming May release. Yet, there’s also some promotional material that focuses primarily on not one, but three Variants of Benedict Cumberbatch‘s Doctor Strange. So far, the initial trailer teased two different versions of the character from the multiverse with the Defender version getting quite a bit of promotion even though he was only briefly teased in the initial trailer. The big standout is the inclusion of the evil version of Strange that appeared in the trailer’s ending.

    The designs are great, especially with how all three versions of the character phase in and out of each other. The third design especially highlights the small differences between the character, such as the white stripe in the hair instead of his usual sides. The evil version also has a bigger beard connected to his goatee. It’ll be interesting to see if we might get other versions besides these three in the film. Plus, who knows who else might have a Variant of their own waiting to meet them in the multiverse. Here’s hoping we might get similar designs once they are revealed in the upcoming film. It’s going to be exciting just how mad the multiverse is going to end up once it releases in May.

  • New ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Merch Offers New Look at Mordo and Rintrah

    New ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ Merch Offers New Look at Mordo and Rintrah

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is only a few more months away, and Marvel Studios is still pushing out merchandise to build up to its release. We haven’t gotten a full trailer just yet, as most of your understanding of the film comes from the teaser trailer that got attached to Spider-Man: No Way Home. We’ll get reintroduced to some familiar faces and even some new ones. The big return is with Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Mordo. We’ve previously got a chance to see his updated design, but it looks like he also has reached the rank of Master at some point according to the new piece of merchandise.

    Of course, in a story all about the multiverse, there’s always a chance that he isn’t the Mordo we last saw in the post-credit sequence of Doctor Strange. In the teaser trailer, he did seem like he was on friendly terms with STrange, but we also don’t know what path he went down. There’s also the question of the new character we are getting introduced to in the form of Rintrah. Some new merchandise offers a new look at the character, who might have a big role in the upcoming film.

    We still know very little about the project, but it’ll be interesting how all these characters play into the madness that will be unleashed with the multiverse. Plus, there are also the Variants that we’ve seen of the film’s main protagonist, which opens up the door to any of the newly introduced characters stemming from across the multiverse. We’ll see if the new trailer might offer a better look at what the film has in store for us.

  • Tom Holland Confirms Conversations are Ongoing for MCU’s ‘Spider-Man 4’

    Tom Holland Confirms Conversations are Ongoing for MCU’s ‘Spider-Man 4’

    After the massive success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, there has been a lot of anticipation about what the future may have in store for the web-slinger. The franchise’s main star, Tom Holland, has been quite coy on if he would even return, but Marvel Studios’ CEO Kevin Feige confirmed that they are already working on a fourth entry in the franchise. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, he confirms that discussions have started on the next entry while he is busy promoting Uncharted.

    We’ve had conversations about the potential future of Spider-Man, but at the moment they are conversations. We don’t know what the future looks like.

    Tom Holland

    The actor highlighted that he believes talks are currently happening between Feige, Sony’s Tom Rothman, and producer Amy Pascal, but that he doesn’t know where exactly they are with it, as he currently is “not really thinking about the future.” He goes on to highlight his current way ot handling the situation with No Way Home‘s success.

    I’m still riding the wave of the success of the film and enjoying that.

    Tom Holland

    It makes sense the two companies are following up on the film’s success by taking a look at how they can continue the story. Feige is no stranger to planning quite a bit in advance. So, he may already have some plans for how they might potentially tackle the project. Though, with director Jon Watts moving on to Fantastic Four, they may already be considering who might be the perfect choice to tackle the next trilogy.

  • RUMOR: ‘Eternals’ Don Lee May Film a New Marvel Studios Project in the Summer

    RUMOR: ‘Eternals’ Don Lee May Film a New Marvel Studios Project in the Summer

    It looks like an Eternal might be making a grand return in the near future, as the site allkpop is reporting that Ma Dong Suk, also known as Don Lee to Western fans, is returning to the United States to film an unknown project. He originally played the character of Gilgamesh in the film, and it seems that he’ll return to take on the role in the unnamed project.

    The actor is currently busy promoting his Korean film Wilderness before heading out in the summer. He has hinted in the past that he would potentially return, similar to a statement by Selma Hayek confirming she signed on for multiple films. So, we might see the members of the Eternals film make their return throughout multiple projects, as we still haven’t received a confirmation for a sequel.

    Of course, fans of the film might question how he may make a return after his fate in the 2021 Marvel film. There’s a chance he may make an appearance before the snap, as his death in Eternals doesn’t take place until after Thanos’ defeat at the hands of the Avengers. Yet, as they are artificial begins, he may make his return as a new version of the character that doesn’t have the same memories. Whatever it may be, it’s great that he may have a future with the franchise.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Earlier Drafts Featured More Matt Murdock

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Earlier Drafts Featured More Matt Murdock

    There were a lot of exciting moments in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the earliest scenes, we get a cameo by Charlie Cox, who made his grand return as Matt Murdock. The film’s writers, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers recently appeared in an episode of The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith. They revealed that they initially planned to feature the blind lawyer in more scenes, but wanted to keep a stronger focus on Spider-Man.

    Ultimately, we always had to pull back on a lot of things to just make sure we maintained our focus.

    Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna

    It does make sense that they wouldn’t want to add more to the already massive film. With appearances from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, familiar villains from Spider-Man‘s cinematic history, and Doctor Strange, the fact he even appeared seems like a miracle. Even if we only got one scene featuring the character, it was quite the memorable one with his “I’m a very good lawyer” line.

    Of course, we hope to see more of Cox‘s character in the near future, as Marvel Studios starts to embrace the Netflix characters. We don’t know what the future has in store, but they might have some big plans for the fan-favorite characters. Here’s hoping they might reveal at some point if we might’ve even seen Murdock suit up as Daredevil at one point in the film#s production.

  • RUMOR: Marvel Studios May Have Plans for Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster After ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

    RUMOR: Marvel Studios May Have Plans for Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster After ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

    Thor: Love and Thunder is only a few more months away, as we get our first fourth entry in an MCU franchise. Chris Hemsworth returns as the mighty God of Thunder will explore the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame, as he flew out into space with the Guardians of the Galaxy. That’s not all, as we’ll also get the grand return of Natalie Portman, who left the franchise after a frustrating experience with Thor: The Dark World. It seems that Marvel Studios hopes to make up for that and has some bigger plans for her character

    Director Taika Waititi somehow managed to convince her to return, as he proudly announced during San Diego Comic-Con that she’ll take on the mantle of Mighty Thor in the upcoming sequel. Geeks Worldwide’s KC Walsh seemingly adds to a statement by leaker @MyTimetoShineH that there are plans to give Portman her own solo project after Love and Thunder releases.

    https://twitter.com/TheComixKid/status/1487460350119211011

    It would make sense given how many characters getting introduced as of late are legacy characters, and it would be interesting to explore Jane’s newfound power after the events of the film. Of course, it does make you wonder what it might mean for Hemsworth‘s time with the character. In December, he did hint that he may be slowly losing interest and this would be a way for him to pass on the mantle. For now, we still need to take it as a rumor but will see what the future has in store once Thor: Love and Thunder drop in July.

  • New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Concept Art Offers Closer Look at Unused Villain Designs

    New ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Concept Art Offers Closer Look at Unused Villain Designs

    Spider-Man: No Way Home has been dominating the box office, as it combined a heartfelt story with the right amount of nostalgia to keep things interesting. Of course, a big part of that is due to the returning villains that many of us grew up watching on the silver screen. Concept artist Christian Cordella has offered a closer look at some of the designs that the characters had at one point in development, such as a new jacket for Doc Ock.

    .

    That’s not all, as we also got a closer look at how they originally envisioned Green Goblin and even Sandman. While Osborne’s design is quite close to what we saw in the film, the latter was envisioned to appear as a human throughout No Way Home. It seems Thomas Haden Church wasn’t able to return in person, but still voiced the character.

    Of course, a big part of the film’s marketing focused on Jamie Foxx‘s return as Elektro and his revamped design from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We got a closer design to his comic route and it looks like it was originally going to be a bit sleeker with the yellow lightning on his costume.

    It’s always great to get some insight into how designs change over time, and it’s curious how they wanted to change most of their designs before falling back on what they were iconic for back in their original appearances. Elektro is the only one who really went through a massive change, but that was also given in-universe reasoning. We haven’t seen anything on Lizard yet and they might even have concept art of villains that didn’t make the film like Rhino.

  • Dave Bautista Says “All Things Must End” in ’Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

    Dave Bautista Says “All Things Must End” in ’Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’


    It’s been known for a long time that Marvel’s upcoming sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 would be the final chapter of the titular team’s story. Writer and director James Gunn has said as much on multiple occasions, confirming the news once again earlier this week. However, this didn’t stop franchise star Dave Bautista from adding his two cents when asked about the threequel in a recent interview with Comic Book.

    The former wrestler, who plays the equally fearsome and hilarious Drax the Destroyer in the MCU, began his statement with a joke about his character’s many lost battles. He then went on to voice his admiration for his fellow cast-mates, his friend Gunn, and the experience he’s had working with Marvel. If these comments sound like they’re hinting at Vol. 3 being Bautista’s final superhero outing, it’s probably because they’re meant to.

    Its come full circle and I’m looking forward to wrapping it up. And it’s bittersweet. I mean, I’ve been doing ’Guardians’ since 2013 and when this thing comes out it’ll be in 2023. So that’s a ten year journey. You know, all things must end.

    Dave Bautista

    There has been a lot of speculation about which Guardians will survive the events of their next adventure. It remains to be seen if Drax ends up with a space funeral of his own, or if he finally gets the victory Bautista has always wanted.

  • ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Passes $1 Billion in International Markets

    ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Passes $1 Billion in International Markets

    Spider-Man: No Way Home has proven to have quite impressive legs throughout its box office run. While all eyes are on the future entries of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that hasn’t stopped Sony from continuing to enjoy the rollout of the film, which has now officially passed $1 billion in international markets. Now, the film stands at an impressive $1.74B worldwide and still has no real competition until the March release of The Batman.

    After Scream briefly took over the weekend two weeks ago, Spidey passed it once again and now remains at the top spot from last week. Jon Watts‘ latest film is slowly nearing the $2B total box office without a release in China, which was supposedly signed off but has not been confirmed as of now. Its strongest market in the UK, where it becomes the best superhero title with $120.1M and also stands at a strong sixth spot.

    That market is followed by Mexico ($74.4M), Korea ($61.5M), and France ($61.2M) as some of the strongest performers internationally. The film has become the highest-grossing film of its genre throughout 19 territories, which may be a testament to just how much staying power Spider-Man has as a franchise.
