Once Again, They're Telling Us Something We Already Knew About Hawkeye

55 Years Ago Today, the Most Underrated Avenger Was Born (And He’s Secretly an MCU Favorite)

All of the Avengers are popular, but this member who just turned 55 is still incredibly underrated. Happy Birthday, Jeremy Renner.

I find it funny when people suddenly realize how amazing Hawkeye suddenly is when the fans have known about it since the beginning.

Communication Breakdown at DC Studios?

Late last night, some interesting news was sent over. James Gunn and Andy Muschietti have apparently not spoken since Gunn started filming Superman. Immediately, that raises a few questions as so much other information has dropped in the last little while.

Let's dive right into the belly of the beast. As CEO of DC Studios, this just looks bad for James Gunn. Speaking out in the press about how Andy is the man he wants for Brave and the Bold, yet he has been having internal discussions without him about the future of the character. The example I used with a long-time friend of mine was this. Imagine he hired me to write/produce and direct his next Flash project given my love for the character. He allowed me to maintain that I am fully onboard for this project on every major podcast or interview that wanted to speak with me. All the while, he knew behind the scenes he was having second thoughts about the creative vision. That part is acceptable. Changing your creative view is acceptable. However, letting your talent find out via social media like a casual audience member is not.

"I've had conversations with James Gunn about the story concept," Muschietti revealed, "but we haven’t talked since before Superman began filming"

The quote above comes from a podcast that was originally recorded in Spanish and translated. It was reported by both Film Junkee on Instagram and ComicBook.com as well. My friend also can confirm as he himself speaks Spanish. Check out Nerd Doctors as well on YouTube for more information on this subject matter.

It seems like Gunn, Reeves and Muschietti are all deliberately being vague on the subject matter but are also saying different things. Gunn has said there have been thoughts about Pattinson joining the DCU, Reeves is saying we need to wait and see what the future brings (which is a complete change of heart) and Muschietti is flat out denying the merger.

At this point in the game, Andy has nothing to lose by speaking out. He is speaking solely based on the conversations he has had with Gunn. Which is valid. Gunn needs to get his house and order over at DC and make a decision once and for all. We are nearly 2 years into the DCU, which has fully aired its first project, and the second is 6 months away. How is so much about such a crucial character still so up in the air? James Gunn has final decision-making power over at DC studios, so make a choice and stick with it. Stop saying one thing and immediately going back on it. Choose a Batman and face the critics and audiende members that have things to say. After all, that is the job you signed up for. There can no longer be half measures, or this DC iteration will fail just as fast as prior attempts.

Tom Hiddleston Has Compared Mike Flanagan's The Life Of Chuck To One Of The Best Stephen King Adaptations, And I'm So Hyped

Mike Flanagan's The Life Of Chuck started filming last month.

Tom Hiddleston Has Compared Mike Flanagan's The Life Of Chuck To One Of The Best Stephen King Adaptations, And I'm So Hyped

Writer/director Mike Flanagan has already made two of the all-time best Stephen King adaptations. In 2017, he worked his magic to bring us the horrifying character study that is Gerald’s Game, and two years later, he pulled off a cinematic miracle with Doctor Sleep – which has helped aleve the notorious animosity that the author feels toward Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Given this track record, it’s hard not to have exceptionally high expectations for his third King film, the upcoming The Life Of Chuck – and star Tom Hiddleston certainly isn’t doing anything to decrease hype. In a new interview, he has compared the movie to another one of the best King movies ever: Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption.

With the finale of Loki Season 2 dropping on Disney+ last week and the SAG-AFTRA strike now over, CinemaBlend’s own Erik Swann did a virtual interview with Hiddleston earlier today, and they in part spoke about the actor’s upcoming Stephen King adaptation. Asked about his personal experience with the author, the Marvel star recalled both his love for Shawshank Redemption and noted what it shares in common with The Life Of Chuck. Said Hiddleston,

I remember seeing the Shawshank Redemption when I was about 12 or 13 years old, and I think [it’s] still probably one of my top five favorite films of all time – because there is a warmth and a strength of spirit and a kind of overarching philosophy that is resolutely on the side of life and love that's at the center of that story. And I think it's that Stephen King that’s behind The Life of Chuck, the same warmth, same spirit.

The Life Of Chuck is based on the novella of the same name, which was first published in the 2020 Stephen King omnibus If It Bleeds. A cerebral and emotional piece of writing, the story is split into three sections and they unfold in reverse chronological order – beginning with the titular Chuck dying from a brain tumor at the age of 39. 

Tom Hiddleston will be playing the eponymous character in the upcoming movie, which started filming in Alabama last month with permissions from SAG-AFTRA during the strike. This is the first time that he has worked with Mike Flanagan, but he is surrounded in the cast by many of Flanagan’s regulars – including Annalise Basso, Matt Biedel, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Rahul Kohli, Heather Langenkamp, Carl Lumbly, Violet McGraw, Molly C. Quinn, Sauriyan Sapkota, Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan, and Michael Trucco.

Speaking about his first time working with Mike Flanagan and joining the filmmaker’s special troupe, Hiddleston remarked,

I had the most wonderful experience working with Mike Flanagan and with the company of performers that he assembled. I find it a very moving and beautiful story.

As you can tell by the use of past tense, Tom Hiddleston has completed his work on The Life Of Chuck (Karen Gillan recently celebrated wrapping with a TikTok video a few days ago), but we sadly don’t know when we’re actually going to see the film, as distribution plans have not yet been announced.

Good morning to Christian Hoffer from ComicBook.com for asking Robbie about the pre-game ads and good morning to Christian Hoffer ONLY [x]

[ID: an excerpt from an interview of Robbie Daymond from ComicBook.com. ComicBook.com: So what was it like to get to participate in all of the pre-game skits? To be honest, I love watching the actual Critical Role campaign, but I think the skits in the first 10 minutes of the shows are always my favorite part. Robbie Daymond: Yeah, that's wild, right? That's a unique to Critical Role sort of pre-show that you don't see many other places do. It was fun, man. It's like the wild, wild west! Like, they just threw stuff at me. And I think that they gave me a few softballs right off the bat and then they were like, "Oh, he can play, let's go." So it evolved from being, "Hey, here's a script, think about it. You've got 10 minutes before we record this." And then it got to the point where the night before Sam says, "Hey, I wrote this like Dave Matthews thing, you can play guitar right?" And I was like "Uh, okay." When I get there, and they're like, "OK, here's the loosely-based script that we're going to do, but basically we're just going to wing it." And you just go, "All right, well, hope you got your play hat on today, cause its going to get weird." It was super fun. END ID.]
