A new report says Disney is hoping to bring MCU characters who haven’t gotten their own movies onto their new Netflix competitor, which is scheduled to debut next year.
Our History of the Marvel Cinematic Universe column is almost done! This time we’re going all the way back to 2017 and Taika Waititi’s hilarious Thor sequel.
It’s right there in the headline, but here’s an extra warning: Major SPOILERS ahead for Thor: Ragnarok, particularly the end of the film and the mid-credits scene. If you haven’t yet had a chance to see Taika Waititi’s thoroughly rad Thor sequel, you should probably turn back now…unless you’re not particularly concerned with spoilers. To each their own.
The drama around who will play James Bond in the next (and 25th!) 007 adventure is already more intriguing than anything in the last 007 adventure. Incumbent Bond made it fairly clear during the press tour for Spectre that he wasn’t exactly dying to make another film as Britain’s greatest secret agent (unless I’m missing the subtext in his comment about preferring to slash his wrists rather than drink any more shaken martinis). Last summer, there came word that producers were very interested in Tom Hiddleston taking on the role for Bond 25. But a new report in Page Six says things have changed yet again.
Aardman Animations brought us the story of a group of chickens escaping the coop and a cheese-loving inventor and his dog. Now the British animation studio behind Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit is going back to prehistoric times for the story of a caveman and his sidekick pig, Hognob.
Placing Tom Hiddleston at the center of a John le Carré was bound to yield results, and AMC’s iteration of The Night Manager had that in spades (awkward Golden Globes speeches aside). Now, despite the story’s end, director Susanne Bier may be looking into a second season, claiming scripts are being developed.
