Marvel Studios Plans for new Guardians Of The Galaxy Film Post Secret Wars - Main Image
James Gunn may have left Marvel Studios, and his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy may have ended, but there are rumours that the fan-favourite group of intergalactic criminals will return to the big screen. Marvel Studios plans a new Guardians of the Galaxy movie after Avengers: Secret Wars.
The 2023 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the trilogy's final film, but the journey seems far from over.
Sure, the third film’s conclusion feels like the story's completion, but it features two significant teases that hint at the franchise's continuation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The first hint comes when a new Guardians team seemingly assembling, with Rocket, Groot, and Kraglin teaming up with Phyla, Adam Warlock, Blurp, and Cosmo.
Though nothing is confirmed yet, these seven can be the new lineup.

For decades, Kevin Costner was an icon of the big screen – leading seismic cinematic feats like The Untouchables, Dances With Wolves, JFK, and Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. More recently, though, he became a leading force in the 21st century small-screen landscape as the figurehead of the Yellowstone empire. But make no mistake: his allegiance is to cinema. And he’s quite literally putting his money where his mouth is, conjuring up a multi-part Western epic on the big screen. Get ready for Horizon: An American Saga, whose first two three-hour chapters hit the big screen this summer, soon to be followed by more instalments, and for which Costner contributed roughly $58 million of his own cash.
It is an absolutely gigantic gambit. But for Costner, going all-in on the power of cinema was part of the point – hence why he turned down the idea to make Horizon a streaming series.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, audiences were introduced to multiple variants of Kang, among which was one character that was dressed like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Widely considered to be the character Rama-Tut, a variant of Kang that became a ruler in Ancient Egypt.

Given this connection in the comics, Moon Knight might have an in with the Avengers in Avengers: Secret Wars, and could also have his path laid out for Moon Knight Season 2.

The big question that keeps popping up amid Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone fallout is whether the Oscar-winning actor will ever return to the Paramount series without further escalation of the already overblown drama.
As fans, critics, and studio execs watch the unfolding situation that can arguably rival the plot of Yellowstone itself, Costner remains divided over his attachment to the series that very much propelled him to the forefront of fame and relevance as an A-lister.

After years of feuding and inaction, Kevin Costner’s unwillingness to resolve the tension between him and the director is evidence enough of their growing chasm. Moreover, with the public’s attention increasing with every passing month, there seems to be no fitting end to the Yellowstone equation other than the good old formula of forgive-and-forget.

Goku wasn’t always the muscled hunk of a protagonist. Back when Dragon Ball first began serialization, Goku debuted in his child form. He was an extremely cute chibi character, and fans loved him for it.
However, the manga began to become popular once the Tournament of Power arc was introduced. This meant an increase in battle scenes compared to its previous comedy genre. Suddenly, chibi Goku became a hindrance to battle scenes.
Why did Akira Toriyama Change Goku’s Character Design in Dragon Ball? Kid Goku | Toei
The very first Goku was a cute chibi kid with an adorable tail which set him apart from any other character. While this setup worked for the comedy manga that Dragon Ball was intended to be, once it began to transition into the action genre, it became hard to modulate the body in different battle poses. In an interview, Akira Toriyama confessed:...

Kevin Costner’s latest Western saga, Horizon: An American Saga, has left critics divided, debuting to one of his worst scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite the four-part epic being a passion project he’s nurtured for over 30 years, the initial reception isn’t exactly encouraging. High Stakes and Financial Gambles To realize his vision, Costner invested $38 million of his own money into Horizon, even mortgaging his Santa Barbara estate. This decision reportedly sent his accountant into a conniption fit. According to Costner, it wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the decision I needed to make. He added in a recent...

Taylor Sheridan established himself as one of the finest Western storytellers in an era when the genre was on a decline. Sheridan carved a name for himself in the television business by creating mega-hit shows like Yellowstone and its various spin-offs while his Western films such as Wind River also received critical acclaim.

Kevin Costner’s upcoming film and his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga enjoyed a promising debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. The audience’s enthusiastic response, including a seven-minute standing ovation, moved the director to tears, as he thanked the audience and promised a similar epic journey with the upcoming three sequels of the film series.

Back in 2013, five years prior to the release of ‘Infinity War,’ Patton Oswalt ad-libbed lines about the MCU. In the TV show ‘Parks and Recreation,’ Oswalt’s character, Garth Blundin, shares his Marvel/Star Wars crossover fan fiction to deter Leslie Knope from altering Pawnee’s laws.
Despite being entirely improvised in April 2013, Oswalt’s character accurately foreshadowed Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones to confront the Avengers in the MCU.
Recently, Oswalt made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he discussed his foresight in predicting certain events.
Some things weirdly came true; some on purpose, some by accident.(…) They had not done ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ . When I say Time Gem, they cut to Chris Pratt. This was way before he did ‘Guardians’ .Also, Amy has the funniest line in the whole thing when she says ‘the female part’s a little underwritten’, which was so exactly what those movies were.

There’s no doubt that with the launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, Microsoft has finally added one of the year’s best exclusives to Xbox. Initially revealed in 2019, the game’s nearly five-year development cycle has helped produce an incredible title that’s destined to go down in gaming history as a worthy sequel to the 2017 original.
Hellblade 2 is described as a cinematic treat, but many have questioned the game’s development. Many people felt like Ninja Theory wasn’t given enough resources and marketing exposure for their upcoming title. That, combined with Microsoft’s recent closing of multiple studios, led many to doubt the studio’s future. However, Ninja Theory’s studio head, Dom Matthews, has squashed all rumors and given us an in-depth look at Xbox’s support for the studio and its future.

Kevin Costner rode into Cannes with cowboy swagger, making finger pistols on the red carpet to cheers from the crowd ahead of the premiere for Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1, a partially self-financed western that is one of the biggest swings of his long career.
Inside the Grand Lumiere Theatre, Costner was greeted with extended applause (including from some guests wearing cowboy hats) before the first public screening of the $90 million-plus budgeted film that is planned as part one of a four-part saga.
Three hours later, as the credits rolled, the crowd delivered a standing ovation that began to taper off at around the four-and-a-half-minute mark, but then continued on for a total of around ten minutes, ending when a tearful Costner took the microphone to speak about his film, which he directed, produced, co-wrote and stars in.

“Shōgun” might be creating some drama at the Emmys.
Multiple industry insiders tell Variety that FX, the heavyweight contender in the Primetime Emmy race for outstanding limited or anthology series, is considering a bold move: shifting its submission for “Shōgun” to the drama series categories this year.
This strategic repositioning hints at the likely return of the protagonist, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (played by Hiroyuki Sanada). Created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, the historical epic, celebrated for its intricate storytelling and marvelous world-building achievements, will now vie for accolades against heavy hitters like Netflix’s concluding saga “The Crown,” Apple’s intense office drama “The Morning Show,” and Prime Video’s gripping action video game adaptation “Fallout.”
FX declined to comment.
“Shōgun” brings to life James Clavell’s 1975 novel set in 1600 Japan, a period dominated by daimyōs and samurais. The narrative centers on the fateful encounter between the cunning English navigator John Blackthorne,...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has lost most of its charm after Avengers: Endgame. After most of the Og characters’ story concluded following The Infinity Saga, the Kevin Feige vehicle took a different approach for The Multiverse Saga. Sadly, it did more bad than good.

Both Androids had a pivotal role to play in the Db universe; that said, their depiction in any media franchise should catch the public eye.
In a way, it actually did in Sparking! Zero. But not in the way the developers were expecting it. The latest trailer dubbed ‘Master vs. Apprentice’ gave a glimpse of Android siblings in an alternate timeline where they successfully manage to attain the goal they were always meant to, wreak havoc on humanity.

The Dragon Ball franchise is almost four decades old and has gifted the fans several memorable moments. From Grandpa Gohan adapting Goku to the latter’s mastered Ultra Instinct transformation, it has truly been one of the greatest stories ever told. The worldwide popularity of the series has led to the creation of multiple fan theories. While some fan theories are interesting, others are not so great.
Goku and Vegeta traversed perilous roads until they overcame all the odds to become the most potent protagonists.

The transformation was hinted at during the Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z.

The MCU has several projects lined up for release in the coming years, including the ‘Blade’ reboot. This reboot aims to introduce the iconic vampire hunter to the MCU.
Mahershala Ali proposed the project and will star as the titular character. Initially planned for a 2023 release, the movie has been delayed to 2025 (so far) due to Ali’s dissatisfaction with the script.
The movie went through a rough development phase, with the story changing several times and Mahershala nearly quitting at one stage. Some actors, like Aaron Pierre, also dropped out for reasons not disclosed. Recent reports suggest the movie’s plot has been simplified, focusing solely on Blade hunting vampires, and filming is set to begin in Mexico. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, who has a solid track record, Wesley Snipes is rumored to make a comeback in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, appearing in multiple undisclosed projects.

There is a lot of anticipation for Ninja Theory’s upcoming game, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, and the process of its making is one of the main reasons behind so much anticipation. The lengths that Ninja Theory went to for this game as well as its predecessor is quite impressive. 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was a good place to start as Ninja Theory has now identified the flaws and made sure that they worked on those elements for the second game.

Game preservation is slowly becoming a huge issue in the games industry. Not only are several games infested with DRM check-ins, rendering them unplayable without an internet connection, but many physical games ship with an online installer on the disc, not the full build of the game.
However, an even more concerning trend surrounding physical games, or rather the lack of them, has been popping up in recent years. Games like Alan Wake 2 and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name forewent physical releases entirely, releasing in a digital-only format. Ninja Theory’s upcoming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 follows the trend, and here’s why it shouldn’t.

However, an even more concerning trend surrounding physical games, or rather the lack of them, has been popping up in recent years. Games like Alan Wake 2 and Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name forewent physical releases entirely, releasing in a digital-only format. Ninja Theory’s upcoming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 follows the trend, and here’s why it shouldn’t.

The argument about a video game’s frame rate is age-old. Gamers have been discussing and talking about how a game runs on a particular system for a long time now. Ever since the arrival of the new consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X 30 Fps have become rarities. Yet the upcoming game Hellblade 2 would be stuck in 30 Fps mode.
The developers have talked in great detail about why this game would run like this. On the other hand, 2015’s hit open-world role-playing game Fallout 4 is soon getting a 60 Fps mode and a bunch of other next-gen exclusive features. This has raised a great question amongst gamers: what matters more, gameplay or cinematic visuals?

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, developer Ninja Theory’s sequel to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, is officially less than a month from release. The upcoming title boasts incredibly lifelike graphics, a new Icelandic setting, a matured Senua, and most importantly, a hard-hitting story.
The studio has previously spoken about dialing up the immersion for the sequel, with the story being a key part of the process. However, the January 2024 Xbox Developer_Direct revealed that it’ll have an 8-hour runtime and cost $50. After 7 years in development, many expected a longer story, but Ninja Theory head Dom Matthews stands by the studio’s decision.
Ninja Theory Fans Want Smaller Games
Matthews finds himself in the camp of gamers who like shorter, more focused experiences.

The MCU has a lineup of projects slated for release in 2024, 2025, and beyond. While several movies are currently in development and affected by strikes, none are as highly anticipated as ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ These films are expected to uphold the MCU’s tradition of grand crossovers.
Similar to ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame,’ these two movies will be released a year apart. However, unlike the previous films, they will not be filmed consecutively. Instead, they will be developed by separate teams of writers and directors.
Although details about both movies are scarce, reliable insider Jeff Sneider reports that ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ will be an extensive 5-hour film divided into two parts. This information was shared in his InSneider newsletter.
Secret Wars is basically shaping up to be “a giant five-hour movie with a year-long intermission.
Kang the Conqueror was initially poised to succeed Thanos as the primary antagonist of the Multiverse Saga.

The epic sequel to 2017’s Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 is set to crank up the ambition, production quality, and emotion impact of the first game tenfold. Unlike the original, though, PS5 fans will miss out, as the sequel will only release on Xbox and PC.
The most notable aspect of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was its representation of psychosis, a mental illness afflicting protagonist Senua. Developer Ninja Theory carefully researched and consulted professionals in the medical field to be as accurate as possible, and they’ve taken it a step further with Hellblade 2.
Ninja Theory Built On What They Learned From Hellblade 1 Hellblade deals with a lot of emotional themes that can feel heavy for players.

Gamers over the last few years have had the chance to witness the best advancements when it comes to the technology that drives video games. With the help of developing tools such as Unreal Engine 5, production houses now have the chance to have more realistic graphic elements than ever, and the same has been testified by many, including the VFX director for the upcoming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2.
The coming Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 uses Unreal Engine 5
The VFX director went over how UE5 allows the developers to construct the game in ways never imagined before, including how lightning works in-game, an element that plays a huge role when it comes to giving a video game title a realistic feel.

The MCU has a lineup of projects scheduled for release in 2024, 2025, and beyond. Among them, ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ stand out as highly anticipated, continuing the tradition of grand crossovers in the MCU.
While details about these projects remain scarce, it was expected that Kang the Conqueror would replace Thanos as the primary antagonist in the Multiverse Saga. However, following the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ it became evident that audience reception to the new villain was not as expected. Additionally, Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang and his variants, encountered legal issues and was subsequently dismissed from the role.
Following Jonathan Majors’ dismissal, various theories have emerged speculating about the true villain of the MCU being unveiled in ‘Secret Wars.’ These theories range from Doctor Doom to the Beyonder, drawing from the original comic storyline.
There’s also been discussion about potential cameos, with the buzz reaching Marvel Studios executives.

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor has gotten one of the most interesting journeys in the MCU. Taika Waititi did a fabulous job of reviving the franchise with a new humorous touch in Thor: Ragnarok, only to butcher it all down with Love and Thunder. With his departure from the upcoming fifth part, new rumors state that Marvel is paying heed to the fans and planning to have a serious tone in it.

According to an industry insider, the MCU is planning to add new characters along with a new director to the next installment of Thor. The film is expected to not only do justice to the Chris Hemsworth superhero but also connect to the bigger picture of Avengers: Secret Wars.

In what looks to be another robust year in the making, the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival will bring together several iconic filmmakers, including Francis Ford Coppola with “Megalopolis” starring Adam Driver, George Miller with “Furiosa” starring Anya Taylor-Joy, as well as George Lucas who will be feted with an honorary Palme d’Or. Kevin Costner will also be on hand with the first installment of his Western epic “Horizon, an American Saga.”
Some of the high-profile films in the pipeline for this year’s competition include Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness,” a stylized three-part story set in the present that reunites the “Poor Things” helmer with Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe; Paul Schrader’s “Oh, Canada” with Richard Gere, based on a novel by the late Russell Banks (“Affliction”); Jacques Audiard’s musical melodrama “Emilia Perez” starring Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez; Paolo Sorrentino’s “Parthenope” with...

The Western is one of the many genres that have endured in the vast canon of American film. And with Horizon: An American Saga set for release soon, all eyes will be on Kevin Costner to prove that the Western is still as appealing as it ever was.
It would not be incorrect, of course, to suggest that Costner’s forthcoming passion project is pushing the boundaries of his line of work. The Western epic is a big risk for the California-born actor, given how much of his own money went into financing the flick, which will be released in two parts.
Starring Sam Worthington, Costner, and Sienna Miller, among others, the film is set during the American Civil War.
Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga
Even though the backdrop and main idea of Horizon: An American Saga is fairly well-known, Costner might still score a career-high with this film.

Xbox Series console exclusive Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 will be launching later this year. Fans of these consoles are pretty enthused about this upcoming game. There’s without a doubt a very good reason for them to be excited about it. The biggest one is the most obvious one: Hellblade 2. It’s a sequel to one of the best games that launched on the last generation of consoles.
The second reason is that it is the first massive exclusive title that will be launching for the Xbox console in months. The last big exclusive title that launched on this platform was Starfield, a game that launched to a polarizing response. But now a new development suggests that fans might want to play Hellblade 2 on PC rather than Xbox consoles.

Two parts of which are already set for simultaneous release this year itself.

Kevin Costner is hoping a few years from now, moviegoers will have the opportunity to binge four Horizon movies in theaters.
“Maybe a year and a half, two years from now, they will come (to theaters) for 12 hours,” he told the assembled crowd of theater owners Tuesday at CinemaCon, where he teased his two-part Horizon films.
So far, only two of his planned four films have been made, he acknowledged, but he has two more scripts ready to go, should the risky film project he helped finance be successful.
“When I think about the promise of America, there was a promise out here, if you could go. If you were tough enough, if you were mean enough, if you were resourceful enough, if you were lucky enough, you could take what you wanted in America,” Costner said of the appeal of the American West. “That promise meant that we step...

Since then, I have returned to the festival on many occasions in a variety of capacities as a writer, director and producer.

MCU’s ‘Echo’ was a significant show for many reasons. First, it was the first TV-ma show released on the platform as a part of the MCU, it was also the first show to release under the ‘Marvel Spotlight’ banner, and the first to release on Hulu simultaneously. The show also changed the MCU timeline canonizing Netflix’s Defenders Saga.
While plenty of fans expected the show to fail since Echo is in large part, a lesser and not exactly popular character in the comics, it was a breath of fresh air. Fans were surprised both by the action and by Cox’s performance, and needles to say, we can expect to see more of Echo in the future, considering that the show, through the post-credits scene, directly led to the events of the upcoming ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’

Kang the Conqueror was positioned to be the next great villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the same way Thanos was for the Infinity Saga. However, in the wake of Jonathan Majors getting fired, the idea has been up in the air, as fans try to speculate who would be the next villain in the MCU.
Ravonna Renslayer, in Loki Season 1
While a slew of fans want Majors replaced, and another section of the fandom wants a new villain to take over from Kang altogether, a theory has come out to put Ravonna Renslayer at the center of this conversation, pushing for her to become the next big bad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Although the Avengers hold the spotlight as the MCU’s primary superhero team, they’re not alone. Alongside them, we have the Eternals, Guardians of the Galaxy, and upcoming projects are going to introduce teams like Thunderbolts, Young Avengers, and the X-Men. Marvel Comics boasts numerous other superhero teams, sparking curiosity among fans about potential expansions to lesser-known teams, notably Alpha Flight.
However, according to Alex Perez, a trusted source for MCU rumors and leaks, Marvel Studios is considering two different comic book teams for incorporation, with Alpha Flight not among them, unfortunately.
There have been discussions about MI13 being developed, as well as Agents of Atlas.
The Agents of Atlas, a superhero group, first appeared in the comic ‘What If?’ #9 in 1978 before returning in their own series in 2006. This diverse team comprises characters from different backgrounds and regions, including notable members like Jimmy Woo, Namora (cousin of Namor), Gorilla-Man,...

Phase 4 marked the start of the Multiversal Saga, aiming to highlight the significant threat posed by Kang the Conqueror and impart lessons to the Avengers about the risks of meddling with time and universes. ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ delved into this theme within the Quantum realm, which gained further importance in ‘Loki’ Season 2.
However, with ‘Ant-Man’ failing to meet expectations and Jonathan Majors facing backlash due to the assault verdict, speculation suggests that the MCU will pivot towards a different villain and more grounded narratives.
According to Alex Perez, a well-known scooper and leaker, Marvel is still figuring out how to handle the Multiverse. We can anticipate more street-level stories, except for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ as disclosed during the Discord Q&a session.
Right now, Marvel is reassessing how to handle the Multiverse, which is why they’re focusing on street-level stories for the time being, with the sole exception of Deadpool & Wolverine.
