  DOOMSDAY SCREENX Trailer Seems to Confirm Kate Bishop/Hawkeye

  Sep 30, 20262 min

  DOOMSDAY SCREENX Trailer Seems to Confirm Kate Bishop/Hawkeye The wider SCREENX-format trailer for Avengers: Doomsday reveals extra side footage suggesting a scene between Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and daughter Cassie (Kathryn Newton) actually takes place in Kate Bishop's apartment, hinting Hailee Steinfeld's Hawkeye may appear in the film. This ties back to The Marvels ' post-credits scene, where Kamala Khan mentions recruiting "Ant-Man's daughter," suggesting a Young Avengers/Champions team is forming. The author speculates this could be a cameo or setup for Avengers: Secret Wars or a rumored Champions Disney+ special, continuing the MCU's slow-burn introduction of young hero team members like Wiccan and Speed.

  Sep 30, 20265 min

  Watch THE TRAVELER & THE TROLL Short: It Has a SIX-FOOT Puppet The award-winning, Kickstarter-funded dark fantasy horror-comedy short The Traveler & The Troll — starring Erika Ishii as a weary traveler who must answer a troll's three riddles to survive a haunted forest — is now available to watch online after a two-year festival run (including wins at Overlook Film Festival and HollyShorts). Written/directed/produced by Adam Murray, the nine-minute film uses fully practical effects, including a six-foot animatronic troll puppet, stop-motion, prosthetics, and zero AI.

  SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Re-Release and the DLC-ification of Movies

  Sep 30, 20265 min

  SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Re-Release and the DLC-ification of Movies Disney and Sony are reportedly developing an imminent theatrical re-release of the still-in-theaters Spider-Man: Brand New Day , featuring cut scenes with Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple and other bonus footage — mirroring the recent Avengers: Endgame: Encore re-release strategy. The author strongly criticizes this as a greedy, "DLC-ification" of cinema, arguing it exploits fans who already helped the film (currently at $2.5 billion globally) break box office records by charging them again for minor additions that used to be standard home-video bonus features, and warns this could signal a troubling industry-wide trend of charging more for less across streaming, re-releases, and even music reissues.

  Alan Cumming Doesn’t Understand AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Plot

  Sep 30, 20262 min

  Alan Cumming Doesn't Understand AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Plot In a candid interview, Alan Cumming admitted he doesn't fully understand the plot of Avengers: Doomsday , in which he reprises Nightcrawler, joking that on set he simply asked crew members where to point his body rather than trying to follow the story. He also revealed he never actually filmed scenes in-person with Pedro Pascal or Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), interacting only with their body doubles, a fact confirmed when he ran into Pugh in person at the Emmys. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18. Visit https://nerdist.com/article/alan-cumming-doesnt-understand-avengers-doomsday-plot/ to read or listen to the article.

  Sony Developing a Series Based on Spider-Man’s Clone Saga

  Sep 30, 20263 min

  Sony Developing a Series Based on Spider-Man's Clone Saga Sony and Prime Video are developing a live-action series based on Spider-Man's controversial 1990s comic book storyline, "The Clone Saga," written by American Born Chinese creator Kelvin Yu. The show will reportedly follow Peter Parker clones Ben Reilly (Scarlet Spider) and Kaine Parker as they grapple with their identities while confronting other clones, possibly including the villainous Spidercide. The article recaps the saga's controversial comics history, where Marvel briefly declared Ben Reilly the "real" Spider-Man before reversing course. The author expresses skepticism about how a Spider-Man clone story can work without actually using Spider-Man himself, given Sony's live-action shows can't use the name, but notes No Way Home 's success suggests even maligned source material can find new life on screen.
