    SDCC: ‘What If…?’ Inspired Marvel Studios To Tackle More Animation Projects

    If you’ve ever wondered what exactly was the jumping-off point for Marvel Studios to actually create an animation subdivision, it turns out it was their work on What If…? According to Brad Winderbaum, who is spearheading the division, they realized how much fun they had with it after working on the first season of What If…? and that led to them exploring more. With a variety of new projects heading our way, including a continuation of the classic animated X-Men series, it’ll be interesting to see what else they may have in store.

  • Latest ‘Ms. Marvel’ Concept Art Reveals a Cut Sequence, Teases a Noor Temple

    Latest ‘Ms. Marvel’ Concept Art Reveals a Cut Sequence, Teases a Noor Temple

    Ms. Marvel has hinted throughout its entire season about a new dimension that is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Similar to how Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings revealed that a small pocket universe houses a bunch of mythological beings of Chinese mythology. The Disney+ show teased that there exists a crystalline world simply called the Noor Dimension. We only get a brief tease and a small gateway that comes with a heavy price.

    Yet, a new piece of artwork seemingly teases what the Noor Dimension might’ve looked like. While not confirmed, the crystalline and purple designs do seemingly hint at what may have been the dimension or a gateway into that world. Artist Emmanuel Shiu shares some beautiful art pieces that even hint at Kamala Khan, Ms. Marvel herself, finding her way into this temple.

    It really is a shame that they skipped this sequence, especially with how visually stunning it looks. Plus, if there was one thing the series sadly didn’t focus on enough, it would be the Noor Dimension and the Clandestine. While interesting early on, they rushed through their story and ended up getting sidelined by the end.

    There’s a chance that Kamran, and the still unexplained awakening of his abilities, could potentially lead to whatever the future has in store. They have seemingly set up their future exploration, especially with the surprising union between him and Red Daggers. Given their purpose, it could open up a lot of possibilities in exploring how it all connects.

  • SDCC: New ‘She-Hulk’ Promotional Poster Let’s You Call Jennifer Walters

    SDCC: New ‘She-Hulk’ Promotional Poster Let’s You Call Jennifer Walters

    Step aside Matt Murdock, the best lawyer in the Marvel Universe is about to make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. We are just a few weeks away from the premiere of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law and Marvel Studios is giving Jennifer Walters the spotlight she deserves at San Diego Comic-Con, with promotions for the series littered around every corner in San Diego.

    In the actual convention center, fans will be able to stumble across a photo-op for the upcoming series featuring the series logo atop a pile of rubble and a wall that looks as if She-Hulk herself had sprung into action and lept through it. It also seems like a fun tribute to the iconic comic panel where she ripped through the comic pages.

    Perhaps the most creative part of the series promotion is a poster being found around the con. The poster works as an ad for Jennifer Walter’s superhero legal representation and at the bottom list, a phone number and the slogan “I go green, so you get green.” And the best part is, that the number actually works. Fans can call the number and once they pick up they’ll be greeted by Jennifer Walters apologizing because she wasn’t able to take your call, and then proceeding to hulk-out to record the rest of the ad.

    She makes a few fun references to characters like Iron Man, having lost control of a sentient robot that threatened all life on earth, and even Thor who leaves Bifrost sigils burned into every surface he teleports from. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is surely in for a treat this weekend as the series is likely to have a major presence at this Saturday’s big Marvel Studios Hall H panel.

  • ‘She-Hulk’ Star Confirms SDCC Attendance Ahead of Marvel Studios’ Panel

    ‘She-Hulk’ Star Confirms SDCC Attendance Ahead of Marvel Studios’ Panel

    The 2022 San Diego Comic-Con is in full swing this weekend. While events begin on Thursday, many eyes are on the Saturday, July 23, Hall H presentation. Among others, Marvel Studios is set to present new information and updates on existing projects, and may even potentially announce new projects. While the speculation runs wild, we are slowly getting bits of information that may help predict some of what Marvel Studios will present on Saturday.

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Jameela Jamil has confirmed in a tweet that she will be at SDCC. While she does not confirm she will be there to represent the upcoming Disney+ series, it is a safe bet. Jamil will star as villain Titania opposite Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk. You can see the tweet below:

    Considering She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is the next live-action project from Marvel Studios, it is almost expected that fans will learn more about the series at SDCC in Marvel Studios’ presentation. The series is set to feature high-profile characters and actors such as Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner and Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky. The 9-episode series will be inspired by courtroom comedies and follow Jennifer Walters as she navigates her life as a superhuman law attorney while being superhuman herself.

    SDCC attendees could hear from cast members like Jamil, and her attendance could signal the potential attendance of the major cast and crew from the series. Marvel Studios could also drop new footage or information on the series that will debut in less than a month.

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will premiere its first episode on Disney+ on August 17, 2022.

  • Marvel Studios President Had One Request for ‘Ms. Marvel’s Mutant Reveal

    Marvel Studios President Had One Request for ‘Ms. Marvel’s Mutant Reveal

    Ms. Marvel may have changed the game for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it was the first instance that the mutants were introduced into the mainline timeline. While we still don’t know when we can expect some more familiar faces, we did get a rather familiar tune to accompany the reveal. As it turns out, this was an idea that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had when they discussed how to reveal it.

    According to Bisha K. Ali, the series creator, it was Feige’s idea to include the music element to highlight that she is a mutant. She also shared her excitement to further explore the character’s future and be part of this new X-Men era

    Well, to begin with, it was the last thing we read. So that was a best-kept secret. Nobody knew about it until we read the last version of the script and all of a sudden it was like, damn. And then we would ask producers about it and we would not get any answers. Then Kevin Feige said: Just shoot this, put the little music on, and that’s it. We can only hope that we be part of the future of “Ms. Marvel” because it would be super nice to have some “X-Men” flavor in there.

    Bisha K. Ali

    While some have called it “milking” the 90s nostalgia, there’s a genius aspect to the musical cue given that not only is a reboot on the horizon, but it also gives the franchise an audio cue. If they are interested in introducing the Inhumans and other super-powered characters, the mutant element is given an easy indicator for the audience to instantly make the connection.

  • ‘Spider-Man: Freshman Year’ To Be Unveiled This SDCC Weekend

    ‘Spider-Man: Freshman Year’ To Be Unveiled This SDCC Weekend

    This SDCC weekend isn’t just going to cater to live-action MCU properties. Marvel Studios’ animation division is set to also have their own presentation where the likes of Spider-Man: Freshman Year, What If…? Season 2, and hopefully, X-Men 97, will be unveiled. Freshman Year executive producer Jeff Trammell confirmed the show’s inclusion in the panel.

    There’s not much known about the canonical Spidey spin-off series other than it will explore Peter Parker’s early days as a crimefighter and that Tom Holland will unlikely be a part of the series. Fans have been looking forward to what kind of art and animation style the show will have and this presentation is guaranteed to shed light on that. Hopefully, the presentation also gives us a rundown on which villains to expect.

  • Bradley Cooper Will Return to Voice Rocket in “I Am Groot”

    Bradley Cooper Will Return to Voice Rocket in “I Am Groot”

    The Guardians of the Galaxy are making their mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 4 already, despite the franchise’s third installment, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, is not slated to hit theaters until 2023. Recently, the team showed up in the opening minutes of Thor: Love and Thunder, and a Guardians holiday special are set to land on Disney+ later this year.

    Another, smaller, project based on the characters of the franchise is also set to debut soon. I Am Groot, a series of shorts based on the popular age-confused tree-like alien Groot will hit Disney+ on August 10, 2022. A new report has revealed that Marvel Studios released early footage of the Disney+ series, and it includes the return of another Guardians favorite.

    According to The Direct, an early theatrical screening of the first episode of I Am Groot, Bradley Cooper is confirmed to return as Rocket Raccoon in the Disney+ shorts. Cooper’s name appeared in the credits as Rocket Raccoon, suggesting his appearance in at least one episode of I Am Groot and marking his sixth appearance in the MCU to date.

    While it is fun that Cooper and Rocket will be involved, director James Gunn has hinted that the short series may not be canon to the greater MCU. I Am Groot, will consist of five shorts but there are no exact details on how long each individual episode will be, but as they are titled “shorts” we shouldn’t expect an overarching storyline or long episodes. This isn’t a new thing for the service and isn’t a sign that they are changing the model, as it’s rather common for the service in how they tackle their shorts, such as Olaf Presents.

    I Am Groot is scheduled to release on Disney+ on August 10, 2022.

  • 3 Major R-Rated Fox Films Headed to Disney Plus

    3 Major R-Rated Fox Films Headed to Disney Plus

    With Marvel Studios’ San Diego Comic-Con Hall H presentation just over 2 days away, Disney has made a move that might hint at one potential announcement from Kevin Feige on Saturday. Disney has revealed that 3 R-rated Marvel films from Fox will become available on Disney Plus beginning July 22nd. Deadpool, Deadpool 2 and Logan all hit the platform just one day ahead of Marvel Studios big panel.

    While Marvel Studios’ plans for Hall H are being held pretty tightly, as usual, this move could indicate the studio’s plan to update its plans for a third Deadpool film, potentially giving it a release date on its 2024 slate. Ryan Reynolds has stayed passionate about seeing a third Deadpool film through following Disney’s acquisition of Fox which saw the X-Men and related properties move under the Marvel Studios umbrella.

    Access to the films will be restricted via parental controls, meaning they’ll join Netflix’s Marvel properties such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, Luke Cage and Iron Fist as R-rated/TV-MA properties available in the Marvel section of the streaming service.

  • New Report Hints at MCU’s X-Men Project ‘The Mutants’

    New Report Hints at MCU’s X-Men Project ‘The Mutants’

    Here’s a rather surprising little reveal but a new report by Deadline may have given away one of the upcoming Marvel projects. In the latest piece exploring what the San Diego Comic-Con may have in store for us, they reveal that we can expect a variety of sneak peeks, most notably of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Yet, the report also may have hinted at Marvel Studios’ first X–Men-focused project.

    They theorize that we might get some updates on films like Mahershala Ali’s film, which they seemingly title The Blade this time around, and next year’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The big reveal however is that they mention The Mutants, which was a title hinted at for the project quite some time ago back in March of 2021. Of course, it could also just be speculation that it’s heading our way but the name used adds a few questions in regards to what it might mean.

    There’s still no real confirmation on what exactly we can expect from Marvel Studios’ take on the iconic mutants, especially with Ms. Marvel revealing that the franchise’s latest additions are also a member of it. So, it’ll b interesting to see if they make any announcements during SDCC, but likely could be keeping that surprise for D23 if it ends up true. Whatever may end up happening, we do know for sure that the X-Men and mutants are heading our way.
