This basically means that more people searched for Elizabeth Olsen on IMDb than any other actor in 2021. I mean, we already knew she was one of the world’s top stars, but now it’s official!

It’s going to be very interesting to see what Marvel Studios does with Olsen’s Marvel character moving forward. She became the Scarlett Witch at the end of WandaVision and we know that she’s going to be in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.

What we still don’t know is whether she’s going to be a villain in that movie or not. Elizabeth Olsen finished filming the movie a few weeks back, however, they are doing reshoots for the movie as we speak. It’s still unclear whether she’s been asked back for the reshoots or not.

Will Elizabeth Olsen return for a WandaVision Season 2?

We also don’t know whether there’ll be a WandaVision Season 2. It seems as though it was meant to be a one-season thing. However, given the show and the character’s huge popularity Marvel Studios and Disney might want to make a second season.

It would be interesting to see in which direction a WandaVision Season 2 would go. I think it might just end up getting darker and darker given what the character’s about to go through.

Here’s what Kirsten Dunst had to say about wanting to return as Mary Jane in a future Spider-Man film:

I would do it. Why not? That would be fun. I would never say no to something like that… I’d be old MJ at this point with little Spidey babies.

It would be brilliant to see Kirsten Dunst return as MJ in a future film, and I’m pretty sure Marvel would agree to do it. There were rumours that she might be in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Could Kirsten Dunst be returning as Mary Jane in Spider-Man: No Way Home?

However, she shot those rumours down and claimed that she was “the only one” who wasn’t asked back. That made us think that she knew Tobey Maguire had been asked to play his version of Spider-Man in the movie.

We’re going to have to wait and see whether she is in the movie or not. It’s getting very close now.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to be released in the UK on December 15th and in the US on December 17th. Are you guys as excited as we are about this movie?

Hailee Steinfeld plays Kate Bishop in the new Hawkeye series which is currently airing on Disney Plus. She’s kind of taken the world by storm in the role.

It’s now been revealed by Parrot Analytics that she is currently the second most popular actress in the United States. She’s currently behind Zendaya who’s in the top spot.

That’s not at all surprising that Zendaya and Hailee Steinfeld occupy the top two spots. They are just both so hot right now (and I mean that in the Jacobim Mugatu way).

Hailee Steinfeld is brilliant in Hawkeye and people seem to really like her

According to Parrot Analytics, Hailee Steinfeld has 45.48x more demand than the average actor Parrot tracks, and Zendaya is the only person who is more in demand right now.

Zendaya is basically always in the news for either Spider-Man: No Way Home, Euphoria, her relationship with Tom Holland or whatever incredibly beautiful dress she’s wearing to an event.

Steinfeld is currently tracking above The Rock (43.61x), Andrew Garfield (41.11x) and Keanu Reeves (37.79x) at the moment, all in the news for various projects (Red Notice, Spider-Man, The Matrix). She’s also higher than Black Widow herself, Scarlett Johansson, at 35.33x.

You can check out the leaked new Doctor Strange 2 LEGO set in the tweet below. It really does seem as though LEGO just loves to spoil things.

I’ll be honest here, I know very little about this particular Doctor Strange villain. People have figured out that the creature in this LEGO set is called Gargantos.

Now, I did some research and I discovered that this creature is pretty obscure, even in Marvel Comics. Gargantos is a sea monster connected with the undersea kingdom of Lemuria.

It only has made two appearances in Marvel comics, once in its 1969 debut and then twenty years later in 1989. However, even with those two appearances, there isn’t much to say about this particular character.

It does seem rather Lovecraftian in nature, which I like, but I do wonder whether someone else is behind it, controlling it, and it could all just be a distraction indented for Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange 2’s main villain might be Gargantos

However, what I love about this LEGO set is that it includes Xochitl Gomez’ America Chavez. The character is also known as Miss America and she was first introduced by Marvel Comics in 2011.

She’s a great character and I can’t wait to see her in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This news comes to us from FlixPatrol and I have to say that I am slightly shocked that they’ve made so much money from Disney Premier Access.

Disney Premier Access was started basically when the pandemic began and meant that people could just buy the latest Disney releases and watch them from the comfort of their own homes via the Disney Plus app.

This was how many people, especially in the US, watched movies such as Black Widow and the live-action version of Mulan. However, it also landed Disney in a lot of trouble.

Scarlett Johansson, for instance, ended up suing Disney because releasing Black Widow on Disney Premier Access was not a part of the contract she had signed with the company.

Disney Premier Access also got Disney into trouble

Other movie stars then contemplated taking the same action as Johansson, however, Disney and the Black Widow actor settled outside of court and all seems to have been smoothed over now.

Emma Stone and Emily Blunt were reportedly considering suing Disney for the same thing. Their movies, Cruela and Jungle Cruise were also released on Disney Premier Access and it meant that their movies’ box office taking was less than predicted.

That said, it seems as though things such as Disney Premier Access will be the future. However, the number of tickets sold for Spider-Man: No Way Home suggests that people still want to go to the cinema to watch the latest blockbusters.

Is this bad news for cinemas?

I do think this is going to be a very tight balancing act moving forward. Cinemas are, I think, very important. The industry employs a lot of people and I think going to the cinema is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I would hate to see cinemas die because of things that Disney Premier Access.

Zendaya and Tom Holland were at the Ballon D’Or ceremony in Paris this week. They were on the red carpet and both looked absolutely sensational.

They were there to kick off the press tour for Spider-Man: No Way Home. It does feel like they’ve been doing press for this movie for over a year now.

However, the worldwide press tour started this week and Zendaya really stole the show at the Ballon D’Or event in Paris. She was wearing a beautiful black dress which was open at the back.

Oohhhh 👀 pic.twitter.com/JSoU2f7Wc1

And it was what she decided to wear on her back that really got the Spider-Man fans going. She was wearing what looked like a gold spine with two dragon heads at the top.

The whole thing was really quite beautiful, and many people are thinking that Zendaya might have been teasing a rather huge twist in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Zendaya plays MJ in the movie, and if you’ve watched the trailer, then you would have seen that there will be a scene in which her character falls off some scaffolding and Peter Parker jumps down to try and save her.

Will Zendaya become Lady Octopus in Spider-Man: No Way Home?

Lots of fans have been very worried that they’re going to do the same thing to her MJ character that they did to Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

However, there are other fans that think that Zendaya was teasing another outcome for her character during her recent Ballon D’Or appearance. What could that twist be?

Well, fans are now speculating that MJ might end up turning into Lady Octopus in the movie. That would be some twist!

Lady Octopus, otherwise known as Carolyn Trainor in the comic books, is one of Spider-Man’s most notorious villains. She’s just as smart as Otto Octavius, however, somehow she’s even more sinister.

She starts off as Otto’s protégée and ends up assuming her mentor’s mantle following his death in the Clone Saga. However, when he returns, she dubs herself as Lady Octopus.

Is Lady Octopus coming to the MCU?

Read more: Doctor Octopus To Help Spider-Man In No Way Home?

I’m not sure how MJ would end up becoming Lady Octopus, but it would be a pretty cool twist. Maybe the fall breaks her spine and the only thing Peter can do to save her is to turn to Otto Octavius and he’ll devise an exoskeleton of sorts to give her mobility back?

And then, she might end up turning into the villain known as Lady Octopus? This would be some twist and I’m not sure if fans would be really happy about it.

The post Zendaya Hinting At Lady Octopus Spider-Man: No Way Home Twist? appeared first on Small Screen.

The tease came during Echo’s backstory segment of the episode. The segment in question was of Echo as a child at her karate class.

Her father told her that her uncle would be picking her up after class. We then see a man in a black suit affectionately touch Echo’s face.

We don’t see the man’s face in this shot (which I’ve screenshot for you by the way). However, we do hear a chuckle, and it’s pretty much unmistakably Vincent D’Onofrio’s voice.

It’s been rumoured for quite some time now that Vincent D’Onofrio would be returning as the Kingpin – aka Wilson Fisk – in the MCU.

Was Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin in this week’s episode of Hawkeye?

I’ve been reading many reports that he would be in this series. Before this episode went up, D’Onofrio was asked about a supposed ‘leaked’ image of Kingpin in Hawkeye.

He made a joke about it on Twitter. Here’s what he had to say about that ‘leaked’ image for Kingpin in Hawkeye:

Well it’s a really bad job from someone trying to make it look like me. This guy in the pic is more handsome I think.

It’s interesting that he would talk about it at all, but I like the fact that he did. D’Onofrio’s been very open about wanting to return to the role. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anyone better suited to play Kingpin than him.

Vincent D’Onofrio was perfect as Kingpin and should be in the MCU

He was perfect in Netflix’s Daredevil series and I’m sure that Kevin Feige is a fan of him in the role. I also think that Kingpin is going to be very important as this Hawkeye series goes along.

We already know that an Echo series is in the works, and I think that Kingpin will feature heavily (pun intended) in that show too! It seems as though Marvel Studios is bringing back a lot of the Netflix Marvel actors to appear in the MCU.

Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Kristen Ritter… They’ve all been linked to future MCU projects. I can’t wait to see how this all unfolds!

As reported by CBR, the listing from Production Weekly revealed Werewolf by Night’s plot.

It also confirmed when the project will begin production.

This is a show that we here at Small Screen are really interested in watching.

It really does seem as though Marvel Studios is starting to branch out with their content.

According to the listing that was shared on Twitter, the project will begin filming in February/March of next year.

The listing names Kevin Feige, as well as Marvel producers Louis D’Esposito and Victoria Alonso.

The synopsis for the project was also on the listing, which reads:

A new Werewolf by Night is prowling the Southwest, but all is not as it seems! A young man, a family curse and an unholy experiment prove a dangerous combination for a small town in Arizona. All young Jake wants is to protect his people, but who will protect him from the monster within?

The only confirmed piece of casting news with regards to this project is that Gael Garcia Bernal has been in talks to star.

As we get nearer to February 2022, we fully expect more developments on this project.

It’s believed that the project will be a Halloween special.

The perfect viewing for spooooooooooooky season!

Listen, all I’ll say is we have some very, very exciting things to be talking about. I don’t know what those things are or what they will transpire to mean. But it looks like it’s an incredibly bright future ahead, and as I’ve said before, Spider-Man will forever live in me.

He laughed a lot during this answer and didn’t seem certain whether he could answer the question or not, which is completely understandable. Marvel is one of the most secretive movie studios out there. I’m pretty sure that Holland wouldn’t have wanted to give anything away that he wasn’t allowed to.

We actually revealed this news a few weeks ago. You can read our exclusive article on Tom Holland signing on for three more MCU Spider-Man movies and two Sony Pictures SpiderVerse films right here.

This does come after Spider-Man movie producer, Amy Pascal, revealed that they are making another Spider-Man trilogy with Marvel Studios and Tom Holland both returning.

Here’s what she had to say on the matter during her interview with Fandango:

This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie. We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel, it just isn’t part of… we’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens in this upcoming Spider-Man trilogy. As for Holland, he seemed very happy about having signed a new contract to stay on as Spider-Man for at least three more movies.

There are some fight scenes in this movie that are very violent. And it’s a fighting style different from what we’ve seen before. But really you will get to see Spider-Man using his fists in a ‘fight or flight’ situation.

It’s going to be very interesting to see how they switch up Spider-Man’s fighting style in the movie. It sounds like he’s going to be using his strength and fists a bit more in this movie.

Up until now, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man has used his agility more to beat his foes. He’s tended to shy away from more hand to hand combat and has tended to jump out of the way of swinging fists.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is going to feature more violent fights

Read more: EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios Reportedly Looking To Make A Violent Daredevil Limited Series

He might end up being forced to use his brute strength a bit more in this movie due to the fact that he’s going to be up against some of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains. We know that the likes of Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx’s Electro, Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman and Rhys Ifans’ Lizard are all going to be in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

I think the likes of Doc Ock and the Green Goblin will pose a threat that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man hasn’t faced before. They are pretty much just as quick and intelligent as he is, so Spider-Man will have to think outside the box.
