Disney just revealed significant delays to several major motion pictures in the near future. The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (based on Marvel Comics superheroes) include Thor: Love and Thunder, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Also bumped: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Marvels, and Indiana Jones!
Disney has released a new trailer for its upcoming Hawkeye series for Disney+, as well as the planned release schedule for the show. The series -- as we've seen in the trailers -- will be set around the holidays, the same real-life period of time when the show will premiere. Disney plans to kick things off with two episodes on the release date, switching to a more conventional schedule after that.
If you've not seen the entirety of the show WandaVision over on Disney+ yet, I must beg you to turn back. There is a rather bonkers reveal late in the series that you'll want to experience for yourself, if you've yet to take the plunge. It involves the true identity of Wanda and The Vision's neighbor, and how she'll take to the universe now that she's been revealed to all.
Today we're taking a slightly closer look at the latest imagery released by Lucasfilm for Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. We've seen just a bit of Boba Fett at the tail end of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2, including the new version of his ship, repainted armor, and his infamous sawed-off blaster rifle and jet pack. Now, we get to see a bit more.
Today the first season of Book of Boba Fett TV show episodes leaked with some interesting implications. While the first episode in The Book of Boba Fett will be called "The Champion", it'll also have a "Chapter" number, just like The Mandalorian. There's a suggestion here that while The Book of Boba Fett isn't just The Mandalorian Season 3, it is the next part of this Mandalorian-related string of stories.
When we first see Princess Leia in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, she's disguised as a bounty hunter. It's not particularly important to the plot of the movie that we know the origin of the outfit, but Star Wars is deep! Star Wars fans (like myself) want to know everything about every character onscreen, assuming someone's taken the time to give each character a story worth knowing. In this case, it took just over a decade before anyone accepted the task.
Today we're looking at the next release in the Star Wars universe from Disney+ called Star Wars Visions. This television show will be released in standalone installments, each created by different creative forces, each with its own angle. We're looking at what details have been shared by the creators of this series so far, aiming to get a handle on where in the universe we'll be watching - and when!
There's a new series trailer out right this minute for "Marvel Studios' Hawkeye." This is the Hawkeye you know from The Avengers, also known as Cliff Barton, as played by Jeremy Renner. This movie will also include Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop, Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James, and a bunch of other actors including the most important: Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez.
If you were hoping to stream the rest of Disney's 2021 movies on Disney+ the same day they hit theaters, think again. The company has announced that the rest of its 2021 movie lineup will have exclusive theatrical windows before making their way to its streaming service. The change comes amid growing numbers of people heading back out to their local cinemas.
New details leaked this week about the contents of The Book of Boba Fett. This is a series of episodic productions that'll appear on Disney+ very much like The Mandalorian, starting this December. The Book of Boba Fett started its run at the tail end of the last episode of Season 2 of The Mandalorian with Boba Fett and Fennec Shand blasting their way into the palace that was once run by Jabba the Hutt. This is only the beginning of the bloodshed.
The first major Star Wars Visions trailer was released today, and it has a lightsaber umbrella. Not the sort of umbrella that's meant for blocking raindrops, but the sort that's meant to spin and deflect blaster bolts. At first, this sort of weapon might seem unnatural and absurd.
This week casting has leaked for two key characters in the upcoming series of shows for Disney+, including Ahsoka and a potential Thrawn/Ezra standalone series. A report this week goes into detail on how two actors have apparently been locked in as actors for a future show or shows in the Star Wars universe, almost certainly set in the years during and immediately after what we've seen in The Mandalorian. We got a great big teaser about this future in The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 5 - now it's time to get slightly more specific.
