of little bits of news for everything, along with the major bomb that The
Runaways is coming to Hulu. Put some ketchup on your eggs, and
catch-up on your Marvel news!

My articles from the week
With last week’s rumor of White
Tiger getting her own Netflix show, here
are my thoughts on the prospect. Are you
excited?
I finally reviewed Big Hero 6. Did you like it?
Here
is a somewhat-new idea for how Cloak and Dagger could work on Freeform.

Who do you think James Gunn’s
other Guardian
was going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2?
Zendaya is playing Mary Jane Watson
in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
The Guardians of the Galaxy are
going to be in Avengers: Infinity War according to Vin Diesel. That kind of falls into the “water is wet”
category of major announcements!
The Russo brothers opened up a bit
on why they changed the title of Avengers: Infinity War Part 2: basically, it’s to distinguish it from Avengers:
Infinity War.
Are you excited for Ghost Rider
on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? I’m
very curious about the effects for Robbie Reyes, considering just how CGI-heavy
he needs to be.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has cast Mallory Jansen
as Aida, the first Life-Model Decoy. I’m
curious where this plot is going to go in season 4. My guess is that they will borrow from the
various comic runs that showcase LMDs acting as enhanced S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
An enterprising Redditor
posted a screenshot of the Netflix app showing the page for The Punisher
series. The image shows a release date
of 2017 as well as the following synopsis:
After the murder of his family, Frank Castle is both haunted and hunted. In the criminal underworld, he’ll become known as The Punisher.
Could be legit, but could just as
easily be a fake. If it is indeed coming
in 2017, that would make it the first post-The Defenders series (makes
sense since there would probably be little casting overlap between the two
series) and the third series that year.
Just for that reason, I really hope this is legit!
After that last rumor, there is
also a rumor going around that Marvel and Netflix are casting Microchip
for The Punisher. Could that
series be entering production sooner than expected?
So here’s
a bit of a surprise. Marvel is looking
to expand to Hulu with a Runaways TV series. Personally, I think it would fit a little
better on something like Freeform, even if Freeform is more young
adult-oriented. I am disappointed that
it’s on Hulu instead of either a network or Netflix, considering that we
already pay for Netflix. I was working
on an article based on my idea for the Runaways. I will update it and publish it this
afternoon.

Anything not related to the MCU
that I find interesting
Do you think this could be why
Paramount Pictures is suing Star Trek: Axanar? The idea of a major studio being so insecure
that they don’t think they can compete with a fan film is kind of embarrassing.
Amazon officially greenlit
a Jack Ryan-based TV series. I loved the
Jack Ryan books, but I haven’t been a fan of the movies since Patriot Games.
