Why Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Cut Out Rocket's Origin Story

Image
In recent years, Marvel has proactively taken bigger steps to adapt its various IPs into quality blockbuster level games; not just the lackluster mobile games they've been known for. Some of these projects blossom into critical hits like Insomniac Games'  Spider-Man , while others devolve into disappointing messes like Square Enix's  Avengers.  Another one of its recent games, and one of the best from a critical standpoint, is  Guardians of the Galaxy . The announcement for the game came out of left field last year. As surprising as the reveal itself was, even more shocking was how quickly it was released afterward. Many projects get announced years before they ever see the light of day, but in this case, it was only months. ADVERTISEMENT The game saw Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot trying to take down the Universal Church of Truth, which had begun successfully brainwashing a good majority of the galaxy. The story included many sur...

No Way Home Extended Cut With Unseen Footage Rumored for Theatrical Release

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home is slowly rising in the box office ranks of the highest-grossing movies of all time. The Tom Holland-led threequel has been a consistent frontrunner in the weekend box office ever since its worldwide premiere back in December 2021, showing no signs of slowing down. So far, No Way Home has earned $1.8 billion in total, making it the sixth-highest grossing movie of all time.  No Way Home 's box office dominance led some to speculate if a theatrical re-release is in order for the film to break the top five list. ADVERTISEMENT This isn't the first time that talks about re-releasing a film to boost its box office earnings came to light. MCU movies such as Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home were both re-released back in 2019, with the former unveiling a post-credits scene and a tribute to Stan Lee while the latter showcased an extended cut.  Now, while the film is still playing in theaters, it seems that No Way ...

Doctor Strange 2 Director Voices Uncertainty About Sequel's Final Cut

Image
So far, Phase 4 of the MCU has brought in new heroes and new threats while addressing the state of society post-blip; but of all these new faces and focuses, the Multiverse appears to be the driving force behind the new narrative. Following  Loki and What If...? on Disney+, Marvel cracked open the Multiversal door in Spider-Man: No Way Home ; but come May 6, 2022, Doctor Strange 2 is expected to dive in headfirst. Naturally, with a title like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , anything can happen; and apparently, the same rule applies to the film's production.  ADVERTISEMENT In addition to director Scott Derrickson being swapped for Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, the Benedict Cumberbatch sequel also faced pandemic-related scheduling woes followed by extensive reshoots in November of 2021. Of course, this led to rumors about the state of the film and whether additional characters have been added to the film due to the blockbuster succes...

No Way Home Cut a Funny Moment From Tobey Maguire's Back-Stretch Scene

Image
Marvel Studios and Sony's  Spider-Man: No Way Home  took the world by storm and webbed up the hearts and minds of millions of fans and critics alike. The 1.5 billion dollar-grossing film featured an assortment of Multiversal villains (like Alfred Molina's Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx's Electro) and also included special appearances from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Peter Parker, from Spider-Man movies past. Teaming up with Tom Holland's MCU-native Web-Slinger, the three Spideys took on the bad guys and saved the day before depositing everyone back into their own universes. ADVERTISEMENT Fans might remember that Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2  almost recast its Peter Parker due to back injuries suffered by lead Tobey Maguire on the set of  Seabiscuit . Of course, things ultimately went as planned and Maguire still starred in the sequel, but there was, in fact, a sly reference to Maguire's back issues in the film itself...

With villains and heroes from past movies and a literal Multiverse's worth of issues to deal with, the movie is exceeding even the highest levels of hype from the past year. No Way Home is filled with incredible moments from beginning to end as the entire fandom had the chance to enjoy scenes as more than a dozen major players from three generations of Spider-Man's big-screen legacy. This all culminated in one of the biggest final battles in any MCU solo movie ever with three Spider-Men, four powerful villains, and countless amazing moments throughout.

Marvel Cut a Beautiful Scene From Eternals

Image
Eternals  is fast approaching its January 12 release on Disney+, allowing even more viewers worldwide to watch the sci-fi epic. New information has suggested that the film could even be seeing an extended cut, which would make Eternals the first Marvel Studios release to receive one. In anticipation of the streaming debut, the cast and crew have spoken a bit more about the film's production as well. Director Chloé Zhao revealed that the film was originally intended to feature a much darker ending, which would have seen the Eternals simply continue on to bring about the Emergence on another planet. ADVERTISEMENT Several deleted scenes have also been detailed, including a moment with Kingo and Gilgamesh connecting over movies and another featuring Sprite and Dane in the museum. The latter sequence has been teased by Sprite actress Lia McHugh, with the star posting a brief glimpse at the scene on social media. Now, a visual effects supervisor on Etern...

No Way Home Cut 'Way Longer' Doc Ock Fight Scene

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home has no shortage of epic moments in its 2.5-hour runtime. Marvel Studios' third Spider-Man film pits Tom Holland's Peter Parker against some of the superhero's most notable on-screen foes from previous Spider-Man movies including Jamie Foxx's Electro, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin and Alfred Molina's Doc Ock. It was revealed early on in the marketing process that Spider-Man: No Way Home would be dealing with the concept of the Multiverse, which is ripped open when Peter Parker messes up Doctor Strange's spell that was intended to help the world forget his secret identity as Spider-Man. Unfortunately, instead of erasing the world's memory of Parker's identity, the botched spell brings everyone from every universe who knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man to one place.  ADVERTISEMENT This causes even more chaos for Spider-Man who must now deal with a whole lot of new villains who want him dead. One of...
