Pop Topix:Marvel Phase Four tidbits and recations!

-






It’s another week for the biggest tidbits of Marvel’s Phase Four and with the San Diego Comic Con in tow, let’s get to it!

Black Widow

The Black Widow Movie will include as mentioned, will include Taskmaster as the main baddie along with David Harbour of Stranger Things and Hellboy *Ahem* will make his MCU debut as Red Guardian, y’know the Russian answer to Captain America? The film is of course a prequel because, “Spoiler Alert”, Natasha has bitten the dust, “da”!

Shang Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings

Okay, it seems as if Marvel is making up for their mistakes, as the subtitle “Ten Rings” will include a real Mandarin and not some English actor named “Trevor”! Tony Leung is cast as Mandarin and Simu Liu. I’m looking forward to this no doubt.

Well aside from this taking place after the events of ENDGAME, the Disney Plus streaming series will include a grown-up Monica Rambeau. (More than likely, she'll be introduced as "Photon".)
Unless she’s playing the other “OG Captain Marvel”, I’m not too excited, however, Wanda will be showing up in a future Doctor Strange Movie that will be more focused on Horror. Still rated PG-13, but I’m good with that.

Hawkeye gets his own series.

Ugh!!! Of all the cool characters from the MCU,  Hawkeye?? Jeebsus, I rather watch a Valkyrie and Korg series than Clint Barton and Katy. I would rather see a Taskmaster or Moon Knight series get lit, seriously, who really cares about Hawkeye??

Falcon and The Winter Soldier 



Slated for Fall of 2020, the new dynamic duo will go up against Baron Zemo. Noice!
But will Falcon wear the Cap costume or just politely rescinds Steve Rogers' offer?
After watching Netflix's Point Blank, featuring both Grillo and Anthony Mackie, I sincerely hope that Marvel/Disney can bring Frank Grillo back as Crossbones, make him a villain or change it up by him becoming an Antihero. Either way, this is the series i'm mostly looking forward to from Disney's streaming service.

Thor Love and Thunder

Well, female empowerment is the big thing, and how else can you express it, than having a female Thor! Yes, Natalie Portman will reprise her role as Jane Foster, Thor’s love interest, but this time, it will be her wielding the mighty hammer! There will be reactions from both sides as Disney continues their push for diversity! Oh, and Taika Waititi will return as Director. Look for it in 2021!

Now for the not so good news..

Blade is back! However….



In a public Marvel conference panel, Studio H, it was revealed that a Blade reboot is in the works. But here’s the clincher, actor Mahershala Ali of Moonlight, Driving Ms Daise…er, I meant “Green Book” and HBO’s True Detective Season 3! I was hoping that Wesley Snipes would get the chance to reprise his role as the iconic Vampire Hunter, whose film was responsible for kickstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we all know.

Although Marvel Studios Head Honcho Kevin Feige acknowledges Snipes’ contributions, he mentioned that the two-time Oscar winner called the studio after winning the Oscar for best actor in Green Book. "When Marhershala calls, you answer," Feige said. At the meeting, Ali came right out and said that he wanted to do Blade. While I’m sure Ali will do a good job as Blade, I prefer an actor who is a practitioner of martial arts like Snipes or can become an expert as with Keanu Reeves. (Matrix, John Wick) Ali is also known for his work on Netflix’s Luke Cage and Battle Angel Alita, so it’s not his first attempt at Comic based projects. Good for him, sad for Wesley and his fans. (Myself, included.) At 56/ Is Snipes too old? Well, why is Sly still playing Rambo

And now to switch gears, I present to you, Ollie’s "Pick o’ the Litterbox"!


Ollie: Oi, you fookers! Here's a trailer for a Movie adaptation based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long running Musical, “Cats” has dropped..like catshit, and likewise, it fooking stinks!




"Meow" and fuck you!

Well, that’s it for today’s Pop Topix. For more news and reviews, please subscribe otherwise, I’ll have big mouth Ollie, keep you up all night with his howling, like he does with me!

List of Shame: Celebrities who signed a petition to free Polanski!

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
