It's almost hard to believe that just a few months ago everyone was begging for more footage, and scrounging the internet for even the smallest leak possible. Remember when no one knew for sure if Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield were in the movie in the first place? Those were the times. Looking back, it almost feels like an out-of-body experience thinking about some of the leaks that plagued No Way Home . One of the best examples was the infamous Andrew Garfield leak, with the image and video that circulated of him wearing his Spidey suit in front of a blue screen, crouching on what appeared to be a construction scaffolding.

Moon Knight Artist Reacts to Not Getting Paid for Disney+ Show

Image
Before the premiere of Hawkeye on Disney+, advertising for the show was going into overdrive, but much of it looked strikingly familiar to artwork directly from the comics. It was then discovered that the original artist, David Aja, was not being paid for the marketing using his designs to promote the series. Similarly,  Moon Knight could be facing another, albeit smaller, backlash from fans. Aja speaking out so bluntly about not being paid caused some fans to push for a boycott of Hawkeye until Marvel Studios and Disney appropriately compensated him. Now, the artist responsible for what will no doubt become one of the most popular costumes to grace the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marc Spector's Mr. Knight outfit, hasn't been paid either. ADVERTISEMENT Another Marvel Artist Comments on Not Getting Paid Marvel Fans were excited to see that Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector would be donning the fan-favorite Mr. Knight outfit from the comics, anothe...

MCU Artist Reveals How Sony Restricted RDJ's Iron Man Suit Design

Throughout Robert Downey Jr.’s various MCU appearances as Tony Stark, he’s often shown flaunting a shiny new upgrade to his Iron Man armor. In fact, almost every RDJ inclusion also warrants a new Iron Man suit, and each suit that Tony makes is better than the last. It wasn’t until Sony got involved in the MCU process that Iron Man’s on-screen advancements started to plateau.  Ever since 2008’s Iron Man introduced Tony Stark as a genius innovator looking to help protect the world, fans have watched Stark make new discoveries and countless improvements to his tech over the years. From discovering a new element in Iron Man 2  to making time-travel a reality in Avengers: Endgame , Stark is constantly one-upping himself.  ADVERTISEMENT But when Tony showed up in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming donning his latest Mark 47 Iron Man armor, the suit seemed to include nothing more than an updated paint job from the year prior's Mark 46 in  Captain America: Civi...
