This might be good news for some who enjoyed these characters and their Netflix shows. According to the news from IGN, Marvel released a report stating that they have regained the live-action rights to the show and characters of Marvel’s Jessica Jones and The Punisher. Only these two characters was the only ones so far that Marvel got back. There has yet to be any news of Daredevil, Luke Cage or Iron Fist returning to Marvel. Including the mentioned shows, Jessica Jones and The Punisher were both superhero TV shows exclusive to Netflix. When Disney announced that they would create their own streaming service, Marvel and Netflix decided to cancel all of their Marvel shows which was Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Defenders. The contracts and the shows was officially cancelled in 2019. With this news, it could be possible to have Jessica and Punisher reappear in the MCU.
Looks like we are about to get more superheroes in the MCU. It has been reported that the superhero team Big Hero 6 will be joining the MCU world. However, unlike Disney’s 2014 version of Big Hero 6, the characters from the animated movie will not be reprising in live action. Rather, the plans for the MCU version of the superhero team will be based on Marvel’s 1998 comic series Big Hero 6. Just because Marvel will adding the team in the MCU world, don’t expect to see the animated characters such as Hiro and Baymax, but instead look forward to the classic and original versions of the characters. This is not the first time Marvel decided to make a movie focusing on an obscured team of heroes. In 2014, Marvel Studios gave us Guardians of the Galaxy movie and it became a hit.
Not to be confused with the 1995 version, it has been revealed this weekend by Warner Bros that they released a trailer for the upcoming movie called Mortal Kombat. Unlike the previous movies from 1995 and 1997, this movie will be rated R and it will follow closely to the violent fighting video game series. I can only show you the censored version of the movie, but if you are over the age of 18, you can watch the ultra violent red band version of the trailer. Mortal Kombat is set to be released in theaters in April 16th, 2021 on HBO Max and theaters.
story synopsis:
In “Mortal Kombat,” MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?
Revealed on Valentine’s Day, Warner Bros released an updated trailer for the upcoming movie Justice League. Directed by Zach Snyder, Snyder gives fans his perspective on this 2017 movie in his image. After the events with Batman v Superman, Bruce Wayne must gather the power of superhumans in order to prevent a global threat. Without Superman, Bruce will not only have to rely on his Batman identity, but with others such as Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash. These heroes must work together to face the dangerous warrior Steppenwolf and the approaching threat, Darkseid. This movie will be four hours long and it will be rated R. Actors will reprise their roles as well as Jared Leto who previously played the Joker. The movie is set to be released on HBO Max on March 18th, 2021.
synopsis:
In Zack Snyder’s Justice League, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad, and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.
United we are stronger than one. If you have HBO Max, I hope you are ready to experience Snyder’s version of 2017’s Justice League movie. Movie posters have been revealed showing that the movie will be streaming in HBO Max on March 18th, 2021. Justice League will be released in the same month likewise the upcoming anticipated movie Godzilla vs Kong. Mentioned before, the new version of Justice League will consist over 4 hours, which will include scenes that was not present in the first version. According to IGN, Justice League will also be rated R. It described that it will be rated R due to language usage and violence.
In case you missed out on the weekend, I got some surprising news for you, Sonic the Hedgehog fans!
1. Roger Craig Smith
Best known for voicing iconic characters in games such as Chris Redfield from Resident Evil and Ezio from Assassin’s Creed 2 series, the well-known voice actor Roger Craig Smith announced on Twitter that after 10 years of voicing Sonic the Hedgehog, he is retiring from voicing Sonic. He started voicing Sonic the Hedgehog in 2010 and he even voiced the Wisp Announcer in the game Sonic Colors. After that, Roger continued to voice Sonic in the games, cameo appearances in Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph and even the series Sonic Boom. As of now, it’s unknown who will be the new voice for Sonic. Roger took over the voice of Sonic after Jason Griffith.
Welp, 10 years was an amazing run. Onward to new zones!
Mentioned a while back, Netflix and Sega are teaming up and are planning to create a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog animated series. Recently, it’s been announced the Sonic Netflix project is officially called Sonic Prime. According to Twitter, Sonic Prime will be worked on by Sega, WildBrain Studios and Man of Action Entetainment.
According to IGN, there will be a total of 24 episodes and it’s a collaboration of Sega and WildBrain Studios, same company who homes brands such as Peanuts, Caillou and Inspector Gadget. Man of Action Entertainment is a collective company well-known for creating shows like Ben 10, Generator Rex and Big Hero 6.
IGN describes Sonic Prime:
The animated adventure will consist of 24 episodes, which will follow Sonic on a “high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands.” Whilst that might sound like a familiar premise, Netflix notes that the series is “more than a race to save the universe,” as the Blue Blur ultimately finds himself on “a journey of self-discovery and redemption.”

I hope you enjoyed the first movie, because it looks like the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog will begin production soon. According to a TV interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan, co-star Tika Sumpster, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will begin production in March this year. In the interview, she mentioned that film will be worked on at Hawaii and Vancouver.
Welcome everyone, I hope everyone had a nice weekend! I got some news for you. One is good and the other is bad. Good news, movie production company Legendary has finally released a trailer for the anticipated monster brawl movie Godzilla vs Kong. This movie will be released in theaters and HBO max at the same time on March 26th, 2021. This movie will take place after Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and Kong: Skull Island.
Here is the bad news in a different, but related movie topic. It has been reported by IGN that Sony Marvel movie Morbius will be hit by another delay. Morbius will be in theaters in January 21st, 2022.
According to IGN, it looks like a certain monster brawl movie is coming to theaters and on HBO sooner than you think as long as Covid-19 doesn’t play with the scheduled dates. The upcoming movie Godzilla vs Kong is coming to a nationwide theaters near you in March 26th, 2021; this also includes the HBO release too. If you’ve been anticipating this movie for quite some time, you can see this movie soon in the spring time. This movie was originally scheduled for May 21th, but now it’s March 26th.
Don’t get too excited to jump the gun, it looks like the Snyder Cut version of Justice League will be converted to a 4-hour long movie. According to a screenshot Synder’s Vero account, someone asked Zach Snyder if the director’s cut of Justice League will be a miniseries or one big movie. Snyder responded it will be one shot. It’s unknown if this means it will be a large movie or it just means all episodes will be released on the same day. Justice League will be released on March this year.
If you want a more streaming experience aside from Disney Plus and HBO Max, I hope you are ready to sign up for another streaming service. Reported by Variety, ViacomCBS announced that their streaming service Paramount Plus will be launched in March 4th for United States and Latin America. Paramount Plus will include Viacom-owned cable programs such as Nickelodeon, BET, MTV and Comedy Central. This is also where the upcoming 3rd SpongeBob movie SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge on the Run will be streamed.
Remember when Disney bought the Marvel characters from Fox? This includes characters from X-Men, Deadpool, Blade and the Fantastic Four. This is both good and shocking news for Marvel fans. It’s good because that means Disney is able to bring more movie projects in the MCU world along with characters such as the Avengers. However it also means that since MCU is owned by Disney, it also means content will be made for an audience recommended for families. Fans worry thinking if characters such as Deadpool joined the MCU, the future movies will be tamed to a PG-13 rating.
However, the president of Marvel Studios made an announcement recently. While talking to news site Collider, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that the upcoming Deadpool 3 film will remain to be rated R and it will fit within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There has been a total of three Deadpool movies in which one and two are rated R and there is a PG-13 version retelling of Deadpool 2 titled Once Upon a Deadpool. Deadpool 3 will be filming in early in 2022.
Looks like the upcoming Sony-Marvel movie Morbius will be pushed back to the Halloween season. Previous, the movie Morbius was going to be released on March 19th of this year, but now it will be released on October 8th due to Covid-19.
Morbius will be part of Sony’s own Marvel universe in which tie into other projects such as Spider-Man and Venom, but no plans for being part of Disney’s movie universe.
