The Boba Fett movie is officially dead, but new details have recently emerged that reveal plot points for what might have been in the standalone story. , the Boba Fett film would have followed not just the infamous Mandalorian clone, but the bounty-hunting associates seen standing next to him in The Empire Strikes Back. RELATED: The lizard-like Bossk, the head wrap-sporting Dengar, a rogue protocol droid dubbed 4-Lom, the insectoid tracker Zuckuss, the IC-88 assassin droid, and of course Boba Fett himself, were all hired by Darth Vader in Empire to find the Millennium Falcon, “by any methods necessary.” The Sith lord noted in particular to Fett that he wanted the Falcon’s crew alive, wagging a finger in his face and pointedly instructing, “No disintegration.” The backgrounds of these bounty hunters have since been expanded to varying degrees over the years, both within and outside of main Star Wars continuity. Boba Fett seemingly would have fleshed-out their characters more, however, as they worked with and against each other to capture the Falcon and her crew. RELATED: Before being loosely attached to , the Boba Fett film was originally planned with director Josh Trank at the Helm. His allegedly erratic on-set behavior during the 2015 Fantastic 4 reboot, however, forced Disney to reconsider his appointment before ultimately firing him from the project. After the returns of Solo: A Star Wars Story reportedly disappointed the studio, Disney quietly let the film stall. Last week, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy officially announced, via journalist Erick Weber, that “the Boba Fett movie was 100% dead.” Luckily for fans of Boba Fett lore, Jon Favreau’s series, , has been confirmed to hit Disney’s streaming service in 2019.

Over the course of a decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced many types of moviegoers, be they longtime comic fans or people completely new to the world of comics, to newer, more modernized origins for many of Marvel’s characters. But Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says the origin story in will be of a very different type. In an interview with at the British Academy Britannia Awards, Feige was asked about Captain Marvel. After praising the film’s cast and progress, Feige said, “This one is very different and very exciting… It takes place in the 1990s and while it is an origin story of our hero, it is a very different type of origin story, which we’re excited to unveil to audiences.” RELATED: Kevin Feige: is "a different type of origin story" — Variety (@Variety) Feige’s comments about the movie beg the question as to just how much Captain Marvel’s origin story in the film will differ from other MCU movies and the comics themselves.

RELATED: Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck from a script they wrote with Liz Flahive, Carly Mensch, Meg LeFauve, Nicole Perlman and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson as Carol Danvers, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jude Law as Mar-Vell, Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser, Djimon Hounsou as Korath the Pursuer, Gemma Chan as Minn-Erva, and Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch, Algenis Perez Soto, McKenna Grace and Annette Bening.

It all started with from one Marvel Comics hero to another. Now the tongue-in-cheek war of words is on for ‘s Ryan Reynolds and ‘s Hugh Jackman. Reynolds, who celebrated his 42nd birthday on Tuesday, seems to be feeling a bit salty about the greeting he received from the longtime Wolverine actor. Fans got to watch as the exchange unfolded on Twitter, as Jackman wrote, “Because I’m told that I AM THE NICEST GUY and you’re NOT […[ I will let you hug me. Just this once. On your birthday.” RELATED: A few hours later, Reynolds returned the volley with his own tweet, calling Jackman a “monster” who has hidden his true nationality from the world. This man is a monster. He’s not even from Australia. He’s from Milwaukee. — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) “He’s not even from Australia,” the actor wrote. “He’s from Milwaukee.” The history of good-natured ribbing between the pair goes way back to 2011’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and is essentially rooted in Reynolds’s determination to have Jackman appear as Wolverine in a Deadpool film. Jackman has made it known that the 2017 hit Logan, his ninth appearance in that role, is the last time he intends to don the famous adamantium claws. However, Reynolds continues to campaign for a change of heart.

More than 30 years after the release of the original , producer Gale Ann Hurd revealed she and director James Cameron almost didn’t get to end the film the way they wanted. At Screamfest, Hurd recalled the behind-the-scenes struggle with executives to maintain the bleak ending we all know. “We got notes to end the film before the end of the film,” she said in a Q&A session. “Not even have The Terminator rise out as the endoskeleton, but just end with Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor hugging.” RELATED: Hurd had to fight for the vision she shared with Cameron — a difficult feat for a first time filmmaker. “I mean, your first movie and you’re telling people, ‘No, you’re wrong,’” Hurd said. “It’s not an easy thing to do.” Thankfully, Hurd and Cameron had right people fighting for them. She gave credit to her mentor Rodger Corman and Lindley Parsons, Sr., head of Film Finances in Los Angeles at the time. They both “knew what The Terminator was going to be,” according to Hurd, when not many people understood the idea. RELATED: Corman and Parsons also weren’t afraid to give advice or call out mistakes when they saw them. “You absolutely need people to believe in you,” Hurd said. “You also need people to tell you when you’re screwing up that you can listen to.” Corman and Parsons “were all of that” and had their back, Hurd added. Though Terminator Genisys flopped, a new Terminator movie is in the works. James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton are involved. It is scheduled for release on November 1, 2019.

may have ended with the apparent death of many fan-favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe superheroes, but Earth’s Mightiest Heroes aren’t exactly down for the count yet. In fact, we already know that some reinforcements will be coming soon in the form of Captain Marvel. But that may not be all… Earlier today, an apparent image from the set of was leaked, revealing a first look at Pepper Potts’ new superhero identity: the armored Rescue. RELATED: The picture appears to be a selfie taken by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who can be seen wearing a fitted armor that certainly looks like it could have been designed by Tony Stark. Of course, given the fact that this picture is a leak, there is always the possibility that it is fake — however, that outcome doesn’t seem likely. By all accounts, the picture appears to be real, which means that the big screen version of Pepper is likely to follow in the footsteps of her comic book counterpart. A post shared by (@uncannycomicquest) on Oct 23, 2018 at 9:09am PDT In the comic books, Pepper Potts first became Rescue in 2009’s Invincible Iron Man #10 by Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca. The suit was designed by Stark, and it was known for being an armor designed for rescue operations only — it’s offensive and attack systems practically non-existent. While this would mark the debut of Pepper Potts’ superhero identity on the big screen, this is actually not the first time that she has worn an Iron Man armor in the MCU. In fact, Pepper briefly suited up as the Armored Avenger before, when the Mandarin attacked Tony Stark’s Malibu mansion in Iron Man 3. Faced with devastating destruction, Tony summoned his Mark XLII armor onto Pepper to save her. In return, Pepper reciprocated the act, by piloting the suit to save Tony. If this picture is in fact the real deal, then Avengers 4 will indeed feature the debut of Rescue. How and why would remain to be seen, but it’s possible that Pepper would suit up with her own armor in order to rescue Tony, who is currently still landlocked on the Saturn moon, Titan. RELATED: The untitled sequel to Avengers: Infinity War will release on May 3, 2019. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Marvel’s Avengers 4 stars Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany, Samuel L.

Tom Holland has officially revealed what appears to be his main costume in , the sequel to 2017’s Marvel/Sony cinematic collaboration, . It all took place on the October 18 edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live. During the host’s opening monologue, the head of his security detail, Guillermo (Rodriguez), ran out wearing what appeared to be a movie-accurate Spider-Man mask, while inexplicably shouting “pew pew” rather than the trademark “thwip” noises most commonly associated with Spidey’s web-shooters. RELATED: Guillermo was followed in short order by another individual, dressed in the rest of the new suit from Far From Home, thus making its official debut outside of leaked on-set photos. The New York City traffic cone on his head, which has not not been confirmed to appear in the film, was removed to reveal Tom Holland, in character as Spider-Man.

This, of course, confirms the long-debated fan theory that Guillermo is actually Venom. Kimmel also asked whether the new Spider-Man movie would be a prequel, noting that the character was turned to dust at the end of Infinity War as a result of Thanos’ universe-halving snap. Feigning a superhero emergency — Thanos robbing a bank — Holland’s Spidey made a speedy exit, making one of his now trademark flips on his way out. Holland, of course, is infamous for his tendency to — accidentally or otherwise — leak unreleased elements about his films and those within the wider MCU, as he did with the title of the Spider-Man sequel and certain elements of Infinity War.
