Minecraft
Deadline reports Kate McKinnon and Jemaine Clement are the latest to join the cast of the Minecraft movie in undisclosed roles.
Superman: Legacy
In response to a fan on Threads, James Gunn denied Variety’s accusation Superman: Legacy plans to introduce characters from The Authority due to Superman and Lois Lane entering the public domain in 2034.
No, no story decisions were based on characters becoming public domain.
Avengers: Secret Wars
Vincent D’Onofrio discussed the chance of the Kingpin becoming the MCU’s new Thanos during a recent interview with Comic Book.
I don’t see why he has to just be in one situation. Part of the storytelling in Echo is that his reach has gotten further. He’s gone from just controlling Hell’s Kitchen and certain stuff coming in from the ports of Manhattan, and the veins of his business are running wider across the country and I think eventually across the world.
So I think he is sort of in every place. I think that that’s the way I see it. I see it as Vanessa and him being quite powerful. And so I think I really do mean everywhere. I love the fact that [Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum compared Kingpin to Thanos], by the way, because I didn’t know that he said that until you told me and that means that there’s lots of jobs to come. That’s a good thing.

Filming has concluded, indeed. I mean, I can say strap in, get ready. It will be a ride, much like they all are. It is an epic journey, and one that I’m very excited to share.
