Why Marvel Studios Helped Film DC's Peacemaker Finale

Image
Veteran filmmaker James Gunn is doing double duty on the superhero side of things, with him working for both Marvel and DC. Gunn is spearheading John Cena's Peacemaker on HBO Max, a spin-off from  The Suicide Squad , as its executive producer, director, and writer, while he is busy filming scenes for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3  under the Marvel Studios banner.  At this stage, exact plot details of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 are still being kept under wraps, but Gunn already confirmed that it will be the last time that fans will see this current iteration of the team. As for Peacemaker , the hype has been consistent in the past weeks, mainly because of the series' intriguing plot and over-the-top comedic antics that offer a fresh take on the DCEU.  ADVERTISEMENT In the lead-up to its highly-anticipated finale, Gunn has been teasing a big reveal for Peacemaker that would surprise fans. Now, the filmmaker has opened up about that major re...

Into the Spider-Verse Influenced No Way Home's Finale

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a cinematic marvel. In addition to its box office domination, the fact that two studios connected three different franchises spanning two decades in a single film is as difficult to absorb as seeing cinema's three Spider-Men together on the big screen. While the MCU's careful crafting of the Multiverse made it possible, just as much credit is due to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse .  Released by Sony Pictures in 2018, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a computer-animated film where Spider- People across the Spider-Verse find their way into Miles Morales' world and help him become Spider-Man.  ADVERTISEMENT While the success of Into the Spider-Verse no doubt inspired Sony and Marvel to bring a similar story to live-action, the animated film's story also helped No Way Home 's screenwriters with some of their film's more complicated elements.  How Into The Spider-Verse Contributed to Spider-Man: N...

Hawkeye's Yelena Originally Had a Bigger Role In the Finale

Image
Marvel Studios’ Hawkeye has been one of the best received MCU Disney+ series to date; the perfect way to close out the year. Audiences got to meet newcomer Hailee Steinfeld’s self-proclaimed “world’s greatest archer” in Kate Bishop as she stumbled into Clint Barton’s messy Ronin legacy. The Ronin's reputation caused them to be hunted by the Tracksuit Mafia led by Alaqua Cox’s Echo, who was seeking revenge for the death of her father. Things got dialed up to eleven when the two were ambushed by a Black Widow assassin—who turned out to be none other than Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova. The character was last seen in Black Widow after being assigned a hit on Clint Barton. Pugh always gives a performance that audiences love, and it was no different this time around. In particular, her dynamic with Kate Bishop was a standout and immediately had fans clamoring for an official team-up. ADVERTISEMENT Apparently, at one point, the world may have been able to...

No Way Home Writer Explains Loki Finale Connections

While Marvel Studios' Phase 4 doesn't have an announced Avengers film to build to, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and company are planting the seeds for plenty of big picture narratives. Both  The Falcon and the Winter Soldier  and  Black Widow  included the presence of the mysterious Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who appears to be assembling an Earth's Mightiest Heroes roster of her own.  WandaVision ,  Loki , and  Spider-Man: No Way Home  toyed with Multiversal concepts, and while each yielded vastly different consequences, all of those roads are leading to  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. That said, just because projects are leading into one big event doesn't mean they directly tie into one another. 2014's  Guardians of the Galaxy  and 2015's  Avengers: Age of Ultron  both featured  Avengers: Infinity War  antagonist Thanos, and while all three of those films are set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, nothing fro...
