Another week, and more
MCU news! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Star Wars: Episode
VIII both began filming this week, and Deadpool opened in theaters.
Put some ketchup on your eggs, and catch-up on your Marvel news!
Before I go any
further, I just want to say that I am not going to see or review the Deadpool
movie until it is out on DVD. I have
heard from people who have seen it and think that it is an amazing movie and
very true to the character. However, the
things that make it rated “R” (specifically sexual content) is a little over
the top for me. If it were just
violence, language, and implied sexual content, I would probably be fine with
it; as it is, I’m going to wait until it’s out on DVD so I can fast-forward
through the 12 minutes of straight-up sex!
Mostly MCU Reviews
My articles from
the week
First up is my review
of Jessica Jones season 1, episode 11, “AKA I’ve Got the Blues.” Only 2 episodes left, and then it will be
time to start talking Daredevil season 2 in earnest!
Next, expectations
and review
of Agent Carter season 2, episode 5, “The Atomic Job.” Remember, next week is a double-feature, so
don’t leave after the first half!
Finally, my thoughts
on why Marvel’s Civil War needs to be BIGGER than Captain America: Civil War. Come back next Thursday for the continuation of this series!

Links to news
articles and blog posts about the MCU
According to Anthony
Mackie, Captain America: Civil War will fall into the genre of a
“suspense thriller”
based on the different factions involved in the buildup to the fight.
Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 2 has officially started production!
According to James Gunn, Guardians
of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will not focus on Thanos or the Infinity Stones. While I'm a little surprised, I guess that's to be expected: Marvel is looking to Guardians of the Galaxy to take the MCU cosmic, and if Thanos is the only cosmic threat out there, then there won't be anything left to do after Infinity War.
This article
has potential spoilers, but the rumor suggests that Heimdall will have a
greater role in Thor: Ragnarok, which would definitely be a good thing.
Since Hayley Atwell
has been cast
in the ABC drama Conviction, ScreenRant is asking if Agent Carter
is going to get a season 3. If it
doesn’t, I think it will be a real shame. However, I do think it would be possible for Atwell to film a 10-episode Agent Carter season around the schedule of a 22-episode full-length TV season.

Anything not
related to the MCU that I find interesting
With Daredevil
season 2 coming out next month and introducing the Punisher, Marvel has decided
to capitalize with a new Daredevil/Punisher comic book.
According to Ryan
Reynolds, X-Force is a big part of
Deadpool’s future, assuming that Deadpool is a success. And at this point in opening weekend it definitely looks like it will be a success...
FOX has reportedly
greenlit a Deadpool sequel, and Cable is going to be in it!
Evidently the
producers of Star Wars: The Force Awakens are facing a lawsuit
over Harrison Ford’s broken leg. It sounds like this is based on worker safety, rather than Harrison Ford not having enough money to fix a broken leg (I think he made enough money for that in the first hour of filming!).
Star Wars Episode
VIII has officially started filming. So is this the "Duel of the Space Operas"?
Disney CEO Bob Iger
confirmed
Han Solo for a May 2018 release.
Bryan Fuller is the
newly-announced showrunner
for the new Star Trek series.
What do you think this one will be about?
If you haven’t gotten
enough Harry Potter yet, the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
will have its script published
on July 31, this year. I’m very
interested in reading this book.
Well, huh. I suppose this could be good…
