The announced Phase Four slate for the MCU looks pretty impressive. Though the two projects I’m most excited about are WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This is because Scarlet Witch and The Vision are my two favorite Avengers. Obviously, I was upset that he was killed off in Avengers: Infinity War.

And then Elizabeth Olsen is set to reprise Wanda Maximoff in the Doctor Strange…

Since it’s been almost twenty years since 2000’s Chicken Run, I swore there was already a sequel. You could blame this on the Mandella Effect. But I think I’m going to blame it on all the other stop-motion films in the same style. Films such as Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Though there hasn’t been a Chicken Run 2 yet. That is, until now. Will Becher is the co-director at Aardman Animation. Currently, they’re hard at work on a Shaun sequel: A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon. Becher discussed with Flickering Myth about their transition from one sequel…

So, Martin Scorsese doesn’t like Marvel movies. Big deal! I say that, but evidently, it is a big deal. Almost everyone in Hollywood has spoken out regarding this one man’s opinion. While most people disagree, there are some who agree with the man who has bushy eyebrows. Such are buddy, Robert DeNiro, and Friends actress, Jennifer Aniston.

Especially since she was introduced in Iron Man 2 way back in 2010. Both Thor and Captain America’s installments came out after that, and there have been three movies of each spit out.

Since Disney bought Fox, it was unsure what would happen with their Marvel properties. Kevin Feige has made promises that he will bring the X-Men and Fantastic Four to the MCU.
