Black Widow Goes Solo
This past week Marvel Studio's released the trailer for the upcoming Black Widow film to kick off phase 4 of the MCU. When in the timeline does this film take place? Between Captain America: Civil War & Avengers: Infinity War. Even though this is not a prequel for our favorite spy but it will introduce some of her friends from before she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and started running around saving the world with the Avengers. It's about time she received her own film.
Superman Returns?
No no...not talking about Brandon Routh over here (although he IS returning as Superman in Crisis on Infinite Earths) this time we're chatting about the most recent man of steel. Henry Cavill seems to still be interested in reprising his role as Superman in the future for DC and Warner Brothers. During an interview for his new show on Netflix, The Witcher, he was asked about the long rumored "Synder Cut" of 2017's Justice League and that's where we learned of his hope to maybe someday wear the suit and fly again. Right now, he's pretty busy with his new series so don't expect anything announced soon.
Return (again) to the Planet of the Apes
When Disney bought 20th Century Fox they were given the keys to a boat load of legacy franchises. Now, this is Disney, so what are they going to do? That's right REBOOT! Hey, they have to make their money back somehow. On the docket is another go at Planet of the Apes. Disney has hired Wes Ball, who directed the The Maze Runner movies to helm the project. So, when will we see this movie? Sometime around 2023.
