Which path will Grogu choose in The Book of Boba Fett?

Our little boy, also known as Baby Yoda, is being forced to make the most important decision of his life. What will he do?

The way of the Jedi? Or the way of The Mandalorian? Luke repeats a mistake of the old Jedi Order by forcing Grogu to divest himself of all sentimental connection, which puts our friend in a bind since he wants to continue learning the secrets of the Force, but he also loves Din. a decision or will he surprise us with something else?

Luke tests Grogu to become a Jedi, using many of the same tactics as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which works very well and even helps him recall some repressed memories, but that training is cut short when Baby Yoda senses the presence of the Jedi. from his surrogate father, causing Skywalker to wonder which path to take with him.

Grogu must choose between taking Master Yoda’s lightsaber for further training and never seeing Din Djarin again or take the armor Mando gave him, return to him, and go the way of the Mandalorians. The episode ends with Grogu musing, with no clear answer, but if you look at the story they’re building in this Star Wars universe on Disney+, the path he’s going to take is pretty clear.

In recent episodes, there has been a clear contrast between the demands of the Mandalorians and the Jedi, but both have their shortcomings. Mando took off his helmet to help someone he loves very much, but the blacksmith decided that for this action he was no longer worthy of belonging to the family. Meanwhile, the Jedi ask that all romantic relationships be cut, something practically impossible and that not even Luke himself has fulfilled.

Everything seems to indicate that Din Djarin and Grogu will be a bridge between both beliefs, combining the best of both cultures. Similar to what happened with Tarre Vizsla, the creator of the Darksaber (of whom we already told the story of him). 

It is very difficult to think that Baby Yoda, still a child, can make such an important decision and then fulfill it for the rest of his life. So we’re sure something will happen that will allow him to follow the path of the Force, but still maintain his relationship with Mando.

However, it would be much easier for Star Wars as a franchise if Grogu chose the path of the Jedi. In this way, they could sideline Baby Yoda for most of New Republic’s history and the sequel trilogy, bringing him back as a fully-fledged Jedi in the new horizon of the post-Skywalker era.

On the other hand, Stars Wars has had a huge success on Disney+ in large part thanks to the pairing of Din Djarin and Grogu. The Book of Boba Fett has set the plot for Mando to become the savior who restores Mandalore and the culture from it, but can we really imagine Din taking on such an epic mission without his great friend? Having Baby Yoda choose the path of the Mandalorians would allow Disney to continue creating adventures with the two of them together.

Peacemaker Director James Gunn Reveals Inspiration for John Cena’s Piano Moment

James Gunn revealed that John Cena actually played “Home Sweet Home” on the piano in an episode of Peacemaker series on HBO Max. In a post on Twitter, the director shared the song and recalled when he heard the actor play the instrument for the first time.

Gunn explained that while filming The Suicide Squad (2021) in Panama, his dog passed away and the director decided to come home early. While waiting to be taken to the airport, Cena sat down at a piano and played The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind”, moving everyone around.

“It got me and still calmed me down. Everyone around me was crying. I wanted to capture some semblance of that moment with this song,” he revealed. 

“Chris Smith is an artist who has been decimated by this world. He’s been decimated by who his parents are, what surrounds him, and the entire culture he was raised in. This is not to say that he is not guilty; he is. But he is emotionally mute, unable to express himself. When he’s playing the piano here, it’s the first time we really see him. Everything else was noise, drama, and braggadocio.”

Gunn also revealed that the piano needed sharpening and the technician complained about how old it was. However, the director felt that this motif made it ideal for the scene: “This looked like the kind of piano that was abandoned in an old video store, and more true to the story, so we went with it.”

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.

Jackass Forever film grosses $1.65 million, so the moonfall will hit Earth for just $700,000 in the opening knight


The film, which opened Thursday in some 2,300 venues in the United States, managed to gross $700,000, far behind its coveted rivals. Jackass Forever opened more than double the take for $1.65 million. With hostile reviews of director Emmerich’s latest Independence Day movies, box office receipts certainly seem to be slowing over the weekend.

Just days after being quoted as Emmerich saying Marvel’s Star Wars franchises are destroying the industry and making it harder to make successful disaster movies. It seems that he has only made excuses for what is to come. 

A series of stunts performed by a group of teenagers in male bodies who are not only overwhelmed by the movie on opening night but are essentially trying to hurt themselves in a joyfully and terribly stupid way. Moonfall is also swamped by Donkey Team for betting review.

Initial Reaction to Donkey Forever The film has received a new rating of 89% from critics, peaking at 90% at some point, and is projected to fetch $18 million over the weekend. This is enough to take the top. Spider-Man: No Way Home chart points..when it comes down to its moonfall. 

However, it is currently sluggish with a 42% approval rate, with forecasts of weekend between $9 million and $14 million. This is not what the $146 million budget movie wants to see in its opening weekend.


Is Moonfall really bad, or is Emmerich right about franchise movies killing the industry?

From the general consensus, it seems that many directors Roland Emmerich argue that the disaster plays out like this: moonfall Marvel suffers as a result of the view with DC’s Star Wars The movie, his latest movie is really terrible, like a cliché and an unoriginal movie. 

His main complaint about the big franchise is that it’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, since “they don’t offer anything original.” Maybe that’s when the people of the Glass House have to be careful where they play baseball.

Moonfall The Rotten Tomatoes consensus is: “Whether Moonfall is very bad or just bad depends on B-movie resistance to cheese, but either way, this is Emmerich’s catastrophe. Thriller from cover to cover. . ”Given the budget for a huge movie comparable in size to many Marvel movies. 

The pathetic $10 million budget and the names of stars like Halle Berry, Donald Sutherland, and Patrick Wilson attached make it hard for most critics to understand how the film seems to have failed, as a viewer.

As the reviews point out, it’s definitely an Emmerich movie and you can almost line the movies up together. 2012 independence day When The day after tomorrow, And arrange the cliché story points as a triple point chart in Orion. 

Those who like those movies might like to see the same plot in different settings, but for everyone else, the franchise movie doesn’t kill the disaster movie, but the real reason for its death seems to be a bit closer to home.

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

Image Credit: 20th Century Fox

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.
