Charlie Cox recounts when he was named for Spider-Man: No Way Home

Charlie Cox

After years of uncertainty and rumors surrounding Charlie Cox’s potential return as Matt Murdock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the series star Daredevil was allowed to reprise the role for a short scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Along with the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as “Variant” Spider-Men, Cox’s part in the film leaked early, but the actor was still forced to lie about his involvement in interviews. Now, Cox has revealed exactly when he got the call from Kevin Feige and it looks like he had to keep his secret from him for just under a full year.

“I got the call in the middle of the block, in the summer of 2020, and we shot Spider-Man in March of 2021 … so I had to keep it a secret for almost a year. So yeah, it was intense, ”the actor told HeyUGuys.

“It’s a relief to be able to talk about it. You know, getting that phone call was a moment that changed my life, really. My involvement with that character and the MCU was dead and gone, I hadn’t heard anything for a couple of years and so I moved on. It was incredibly unexpected and out of the blue. “

Before the head of Marvel Studios officially addressed Charlie Cox, Kevin Feige went to see him in a comedy in which he was performing with Loki star Tom Hiddleston and never mentioned the possibility of the actor returning as Daredevil.

“I did a show in 2019 with Tom Hiddleston and Kevin Feige came to see our show. And, you know, I shook his hand and said hi and he said how much he liked the show. Never mentioned Daredevil or anything. So I found out that he is also a very good liar (laughs). “

We don’t yet know when we will see Cox as Murdock / The Fearless Man again, but rumor has it that he will appear in several upcoming Disney + shows before getting his own series or solo feature film.

Uncharted: Tom Holland's unexpected challenge to be Nathan Drake

Speaking with THR in a recent interview on Uncharted and No Way Home, Tom Holland talked about the challenges that came with the former. A new project can always take an actor into uncharted territory, and that’s exactly what Uncharted did for Holland when it came to Drake’s personality. Referring specifically to what was new to him, Holland said:

“One of the hardest things about this character was playing ‘the good guy’. Historically, I’ve always played the outsider who doesn’t have many friends in particular and isn’t a good guy. So Nathan Drake is the exact opposite, and it was something that took me a while to get used to and feel comfortable doing. “

Uncharted, the highly anticipated film adaptation directed by Ruben Fleischer starring Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas. From February 18 only in cinemas, produced by Sony Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros.

The Plot

Shrewd thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. What begins as theft becomes a breathtaking race around the world to reach the treasure before the ruthless Moncada (Antonio Banderas), of which he believes he is the legitimate heir.

If Nate and Sully can crack the clues and solve one of history’s oldest mysteries, they’ll find a $ 5 billion treasure and maybe even Nate’s long-missing brother … only if they learn to work together.

Variety has published a piece about the chaos that COVID-19 has wreaked with the production of Mission: Impossible 7, and in this article, it states that “the plan is for the seventh and eighth films to serve as a farewell to the Cruise character. , Ethan Hunt ”, and as the“ highlight of the whole series ”.

The franchise could continue without Hunt, of course, but it looks like Paramount Pictures and Skydance could very well be considering MI8 as the latest installment in the mega-budget franchise.

It has also come to light that the next film will end “on a cliffhanger” and Cruise “wants to make sure the transition between the two films is seamless.” This is one of the main reasons both films were recently postponed, Mission: Impossible 7 was moved from September 30, 2022, to July 14, 2023, Mission: Impossible 8 on June 28, 2024, instead of July 7, 2023.

Cruise is rumored to want to finish filming the eighth film before the seventh is released, so production on MI8 is expected to start very soon in South Africa.

Selina Kyle will be the protagonist of the next animated movie from DC Comics

Catwoman will be drawn as anime for film production. Catwoman: Hunted is the first animated film focused on this character from the DC comics publisher and will hit theaters this February 2022. The exact date for this premiere has not yet been set.

Actress Elizabeth Gillies will lend her voice to Selina Kyle, in an animation that is closer to the Asian and anime-style than the animated movie style we are used to. This makes it one of DC’s most innovative bets.

In this feature film, some well-known characters such as Solomon Grundy, Black Mask, and Talia Al Ghul will be seen, while the actresses who will give voice to Catwoman and Batwoman will be Elizabeth Gillies and Stephanie Beatriz respectively. On the other hand, actress Lauren Cohan will be in charge of playing Julia Pennyworth.

Catwoman: Hunted is directed by anime master Shinsuke Terasawa, who is recognized for working on Dragon Ball Z: Broly, Gintama, and Yo-Kai Watch!, while Greg Weisman, who worked on Young Justice, is writing the script.

Catwoman is a paradoxical, mischievous, fascinating, and seductive character but, at the same time, she has the misfortune to inhabit the world of Batman, a superhero who defends Gotham City from crime. So to make the most of the DC Comics thief created in 1940, the screenwriter decided to invent a movie in which batman was just a shadow.

This film vindicates Catwoman by removing Batman from the main plot, turning her into a character who asks for help during the crossroads that are woven around her.

Ben Affleck Might Still Play Batman

The actor’s cameo in “The Flash” may not be his last appearance in the DC Extended Universe.

Ben Affleck‘s future is very uncertain and nothing is said about his permanence in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). After the failure of Justice League (Justice League), the actor stepped aside from the role and did not return until Zack Snyder decided to launch the version that had never been able to reach the cinema when Joss Whedon took his place in the chair of the director. Likewise, it was revealed that he would also return to be the Gotham vigilante for The Flash, the film with Ezra Miller. Has he really been left out of the movies?

Amidst the speculation, Miller decided to put the icing on the cake with a bizarre social media post from him. Regarding the release of his solo film this year, it was reported that Affleck would appear for the last time as the Knight of the night in this film and would not return, to which the interpreter of Barry Allen reacted mockingly: he wrote some ” Ha ha ha” on this news. This leads us to think that it would be a very important clue and perhaps… a spoiler.

Andy Muschietti (behind the two installments of It) will direct the new cinematographic bet focused on the most famous speedster of DC Comics, where such important facts of the comics as the Flashpoint will be addressed. As you remember, this known event occurs after the Flash interferes with reality and causes great changes in the universe of superheroes and villains.

In addition to Ezra Miller, other stars that will take place on the screen will be Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, two interpreters of Batman in the movies. If the rumors about Affleck’s departure are false, that would indicate that more of him will be seen in the following projects that involve these characters in live-action.

On the other hand, the introduction of Robert Pattinson in the same role puts pressure on the change of star, although nothing is ruled out from the moment it is confirmed that different versions of the superhero can coexist thanks to Allen.

The Flash will be a singular event in the DCEU

Certainly, The Flash is one of the projects that has taken the longest to reach the big screen. Its development dates back several years and did not materialize as the solid idea of a project until 2014, although sometime later, it was aligned as an integrated narrative to the DCEU. Various directors were on board the production such as Seth Grahame-Smith, Rick Famuyiwa, John Francis Daley, and Jonathan Goldstein, but finally left it due to creative differences.

The last to be chosen was Muschietti and filming took place between April and October 2021, due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The main premise is how Barry Allen goes back in time to prevent the murder of his mother and unleashes a series of consequences in the timeline in his multiple attempts to achieve his mission. Warner Bros. scheduled the premiere for November 4, 2022, and, to date, there are no major changes regarding the film schedule.

X-Men and the 'problem' that already emerges in Spider-Man: No Way Home

Until Spider-Man: No Way Home, a “problem” that had already occurred in Captain America: Civil War and that could have repercussions on the presentation of the X-Men in the MCU had never really been brought to the attention of the public.

Recall that in Civil War, when Spider-Man enters the MCU, War Machine poses to Iron Man the problem of the young age of the newcomer, a question that Tony Stark dribbles with a joke. However, this backfires on him in Infinity War, when he sees a little boy die in his arms, far from home, incinerated by Thanos.

In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Aunt May receives the same treatment as Tony Stark, when, in the police station where she is taken with her nephew at the beginning of the film, she must answer the accusation of having encouraged the underage boy to get into trouble. and to behave like a hero. “Who would do it?”, The agent asks a naturally bewildered May.

The woman doesn’t answer, but we could, bringing to mind that character who in the X-Men comics welcomes frightened teenagers, helps them to control their powers, and trains them for war in the Perico Room: Charles Xavier. Now, this question that in the comics doesn’t seem to be a problem really arises if we think about how the mutants will be represented in the MCU.

Fox movies have never really come to terms with this question. The original X-Men movies skipped that part entirely; Although Professor X ran a school, the vast majority of the X-Men who go into battle were adults. Fox later went back in the X-Men timeline with X-Men: The Beginning, introducing a younger iteration of the team, but never thought much about the implications.

But the MCU, with its highest degree of self-awareness, will not be able to resist facing this question. After all, Charles Xavier himself is no longer the complete benefactor and far-sighted good leader, but now takes on shadows that were always present in the comics, but which in the Fox films have been lightened and now come back to the surface: in him there is.

A dark side in his willingness to send teenagers to war. At the very least, he reveals that there is a pragmatism in him that makes it clear how much to him mutants will never have peace or will never be accepted, no matter how hard he tries to achieve that parity.

In a realistic approach to the MCU, the X-Men movies will also have to respond to how right and ethically correct it is to put minors in danger, even if they are endowed with incredible powers.

Renfield: Begin shooting the film with Nicolas Cage as Dracula

Vampires Kiss Nicolas Cage

Universal Pictures reveals that the kick-off for Renfield, the new film that re-tells the myth of Dracula, has been beaten, this time from the point of view of his minion, who gives the film its title. In the cast of the film Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as Renfield.

Renfield: What we know about the film

Nicolas Cage will play Dracula in Universal’s Renfield, a monster movie centered not on the infamous vampire, but rather on his devoted lackey. As we already knew, alongside Cage there will be another Nic, Nicholas Hoult, who will play the protagonist instead.

Known as an origin story, the film is expected to take place in the present day. It is unclear how much will be based on the source material, Bram Stoker’s 1897 horror cult “Dracula”. In the novel, R.M. Renfield was an inmate in an asylum. He was thought to suffer from hallucinations that forced him to eat living creatures in the hope of achieving immortality until it is later discovered that he is under the influence of a certain Count Dracula.

Chris McKay, the director behind The Tomorrow War and The Lego Batman Movie, directs and produces the film from a script by Ryan Ridley (“Rick and Morty”).

Renfield is Universal’s latest attempt to model a cinematic universe around the characters from the studio’s vast vault of monsters. After the Tom Cruise reboot of 2017’s The Mummy was a flop in theaters, the studio shifted its strategy away from interconnected stories and started focusing on indie films instead. It also kept production budgets on the low end, making it easier to make a profit.

For example, the studio’s most recent monster-verse film, The Invisible Man starring Elisabeth Moss, grossed $ 143 million worldwide in 2020, far less than The Mummy and its global gross of $ 409 million. However, the movie with Moss only cost $ 7 million the one with Tom Cruise nearly $ 200 million.

Universal will test its low-cost approach with several supernatural-themed projects already in the works, including The Invisible Woman directed by Elizabeth Banks, and Wolfman with Ryan Gosling.

He did a really amazing job on his character and even though it was a small cameo, he served to imagine what could be in the future. “

Tom Holland, therefore, would be delighted to share the screen with Charlie Cox in the future, having found their experience working together absolutely satisfying:

“We really stopped the scene during filming. We were just sitting at the table, together, reading our lines.

I found it amazing how he just immediately returned as a character that I am a huge fan of and that he obviously loves madly! In short, he was really nice and I can only hope for a new alliance soon! “

Madame Web: Dakota Johnson protagonist of the Marvel spin-off!

Dakota Johnson will play Madame Web in Sony’s Marvel Cinematic Universe

Dakota Johnson will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The Fifty Shades actress was cast to play Madame Web in Sony’s spin-off film. This film will be the first modern Sony cinecomics to feature a woman. Insiders close to the project stress that the agreement is not yet closed, but confirm that the actress is in talks to secure the role.

SJ Clarkson, the writer, and the director are known for the Netflix series Jessica Jones and the spin-off The Defenders has been hired to direct the film. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the duo behind the film with Jared Leto Morbius, will write the script.

In the comics, Madame Web is the key to the multiverse, a somewhat confusing concept that Sony, Disney, and Warner Bros. have just begun to shape on the big screen. Web often appears as a secondary character in the Spider-Man comics, where she is portrayed as an elderly woman with myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disease that requires her to connect to a web-like life support system.

Dakota Johnson isn’t just Fifty Shades of Gray. During her brilliant career, the actress has ranged in genres, working alongside many prominent artists. We remember her in Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Suspiria, in the comedy Single but not too much, and in the moving Traveling towards a dream – The Peanut Butter Falcon with Shia Labeouf.

The actress will soon be in theaters and on Netflix with director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s highly anticipated psychological drama The Lost Daughter, opposite Olivia Colman.
