Doctor Who: the return of two beloved stars sends fans into raptures!

For Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary, the return of these two beloved stars has been announced!

Doctor Who

Doctor Who is one of the most loved and long-lived TV series ever: recently, in fact, the name of the new actor who will play the Doctor was announced! BCC has brought Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa into the cast of the next season of Doctor Who. One of the longest-running shows in television history has found in the choice of its ever-changing cast members the trick for constant renewal and carrying on one of the most successful sci-fi films on the small screen.

This implies that the show never necessarily has to end because a star just gets tired of playing the lead role to have a new casting for the next season. The Doctor, in Doctor Who, simply regenerates in a new form. The series relaunches itself, with a new protagonist.

The series that never gets old, therefore, has decided to “fish out” in its stellar cast to bring back to the public two of its most successful and loved characters in Doctor Who history. David Tennant and Catherine Tate will return to Doctor Who to celebrate the series’ 60th anniversary. David Tennant will return as the Tenth Doctor in the next special that airs this fall. Along with Tennant, his companion Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, will also return. The announcement took place via the official social profile of the TV series!

The return of its Doctor Who stars also coincides with the return of showrunner Russell T. Davies. The three had already worked together from 2005 to 2010. The details regarding the story in which the protagonists will be involved are still unknown, but Davies has released a somewhat cryptic statement to Comicbook about it: “Maybe it will be a story never told. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, a deception, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that their return will be spectacular. Two of our biggest stars will return for the battle of a lifetime ”.

Stranger Things – Season 4: stars reveal the terrifying new villain

Stranger Things stars talk about Vecna, the new terrifying monster from season 4 of the Netflix series

Stranger Things 4/Netflix

The return of Stranger Things is getting closer and closer. The first half of season 4 of the beloved Netflix series will arrive on the streaming service at the end of the month, on May 27, thus ending the wait of almost three years since the debut of season 3. The trailer for the fourth season has offered fans a first taste of what’s to come in the next few episodes, not only showing us the young and adventurous residents of Hawkins, Indiana but also revealing a terrifying new villain. We’ve seen the most human creature of the Upside Down so far, a monster known only as Vecna.

Vecna’s design is terrifying and it looks like the creature’s presence on the screen will be just as chilling! At the premiere of Stranger Things 4, Variety talked about the supervillain with several of the show’s cast members, including David Harbor: “Vecna is a psychological horror that I don’t think we’ve really ever seen. The Upside Down is a wild west where there are creatures running around, and there is violence, but we have never seen something as psychologically evil as this. It’s exciting because he’s a real supervillain that we need in the show. “

Unfortunately, Jim Hopper fans will be disappointed to learn that Hawkins’ heroic sheriff has nothing to do with the Vecna on screen. At least not yet. “I don’t deal with him directly, my plot is slightly different, but there is a Demogorgon in a Russian prison that I have to deal with. It’s pretty terrifying too, ”David Harbor revealed.

Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin in Stranger Things, spoke of the horror that the monster Vecna brings to the series. According to the young actor, this is an entirely different type of villain from the evils Hawkins has faced in the past. “The craziest thing is how new and fresh the villain looks, compared to what we’ve had before. It brings a whole new vibe to how we deal with our villains in Stranger Things and how we will continue to do so in the future. “

The duo behind the acclaimed series starring Oscar Isaac is planning to tackle the coveted reboot of Fantastic 4!

The Marvel Studios hierarchy is now a well-oiled machine. At the top, we find Kevin Feige, probably one of the most influential producers in Hollywood, under him the producers Victoria Alonso and Louis D’Esposito. Then comes the turn of longtime producers like Brad Winderbaum, Trinh Tran, Nate Moore, Jonathan Schwartz, Stephen Broussard, Eric Carroll, and many more.

Lastly, the group with the executive producers who have been assigned a new project. Examples are Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – produced by Richie Palmer, on his first job as an accredited producer – and the latest Disney + Moon Knight series, produced by Grant Curtis and Nick Pepin. Comicbook.com has revealed that the duo behind the acclaimed series starring Oscar Isaac is planning to tackle the much-needed Fantastic Four reboot!

Moon Knight screenwriter Jeremy Slater revealed it during an interview with the well-known news site: “My producers in Moon Knight are the same who run Fantastic Four, so we talked about it a lot.” Slater was asked if he had lobbied Marvel for the coveted work as a screenwriter, due to his previous working relationship with the franchise (he had written the first draft of Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four flop, but only one of his lines. arrived in theaters).

“I don’t think the original Fantastic Four was my fault because I only have one line of dialogue in that movie. I think it’s the only line that’s left of my script, while everything else has been changed. So I don’t take much responsibility for how it turned out, but I understand that if they announce they’re making a new Fantastic Four movie, with the guy who wrote the one before, all Twitter can rise up and call us idiots. “

Regardless of how it turned out on the previous flop, Slater acknowledges that the project is now in the best possible hands at the House of Ideas: “Grant and Nick are extraordinary producers. They will find brilliant writers and directors. And they don’t need my presence in that project. As a fan, I can’t wait to see him, but I will never agree to get involved again, for very good reasons. I think there are some things I probably need to stay away from for the rest of my career. “

Thor: Love and Thunder: Taika Waititi tells the return of Jane Foster

In a recent interview, the well-known director talked about the reappearance of the love interest of the God of Thunder, who this time also wears a costume!

Thor: Love and Thunder seems to be one of the most curious and remarkable projects of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: not only because one of the most appreciated authors of the universe of the House of Ideas returns to the control room, or Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows, Jojo Rabbit) after his acclaimed work in Thor: Ragnarok (2017), but also because Jane Foster’s character (who has the face of Natalie Portman) unexpectedly wears a costume. This event, which also happened in the comics (in Jason Aaron’s The Mighty Thor run) hit fans enormously and this approach, of course, is particular for a cinecomic.

In a recent interview for Empire Magazine, Taika Waititi himself spoke about Jane Foster and the impact she has on the protagonist.

It’s been about eight years. She had another life, and then the love of your life comes back on the scene, and now she is dressed like you. It’s a real blast for Thor. I didn’t know we were going to use the Mighty Thor character plot until we started working out the actual story. I was writing and he was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to bring Jane back into the plot?’

At the same time, you don’t want Natalie to come back and play the same character who walks around with scientific equipment. You know, as Thor flies around, she stayed on Earth, stamping her foot and saying, ‘When will she come back?’ It’s boring. You want her to be part of the adventure.

Thor: Love and Thunder is written by Waititi himself with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and executive production by Victoria Alonso, Louis D’Esposito, Todd Hallowell. The cast, on the other hand, also sees the presence of Chris Hemsworth in the role of Thor, Russell Crowe who plays Zeus, Christian Bale in the role of Gorr, The Slaughterer of Gods, Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif), Tessa Thompson who lends the face to Valkyrie and many more. The work should arrive in cinemas on 6 July 2022.

Sam Raimi defends that controversial Spider-Man 3 scene!

Sam Raimi returns to talk about his past as a cinecomics director and tells his version of the controversial “emo Peter” scene in Spider-Man 3!

Sam Raimi is in the cinema with the new phenomenon produced and distributed by Marvel Studios, or Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Despite a rather contradictory and sometimes polarizing criticism, Raimi’s film is having a huge success at the box office, recording really high revenues in its first days in the cinema. Sam Raimi returns to the genre of cinecomics after twenty years, or after its release in theaters with the Spider-Man trilogy.

The first two films of the franchise will probably remain iconic as real cult superhero movies. In fact, the villain of the films are back to the delight of the public in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock are among the most successful villains ever. However, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is not only remembered for its achievements.

Spider-Man 3, the latest in the franchise, is considered by most to be a real disaster. The film, in fact, alternates an emo atmosphere with the original one of the first films, often leaving the audience confused if not even provoking incredulous laughter. Some scenes in particular, in fact, have remained etched in fans for their somewhat ridiculous and “cringe” nature.

The most popular is certainly the one concerning “emo Peter Parker”, or when the fusion between the protagonist and the Venom symbiote is effective. Venom transforms Peter into a kind of rebellious teenager with oily hair and a very “Green Day” look. The sequence of the “dance” improvised by Peter / Tobey Maguire in front of Mary Jane / Kirsten Dunst has become a real meme over time.

Sam Raimi thus justified his artistic choice in an interview with Fandom. “The scene was meant to be fun. It was Peter Parker’s version – this slightly “loser” guy – of what it meant to play a bad version of himself. But he is completely beside himself. The character is so out of the cool that this is his interpretation of what it means to be bad.

It didn’t go very well with the audience, but that was what we were trying to do. So I’m not surprised if people find it… well, I’m glad people find it fun! We wanted him to make people laugh, ”said Raimi.
