Deadpool Sort of Kind of Enters the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Korg Crossover: Watch
Ever since Disney purchased 20th Century Fox back in 2019, fans have been waiting for Deadpool to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve long known that such a multiverse merger was in the works, but we never would have expected it to happen like this. The Merc with a Mouth has officially had his first MCU crossover in an appropriately meta preview of Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi’s new film Free Guy. See, Reynolds portrays Deadpool in that character’s film series, and Waititi directed Thor: Ragnarok and starred in both that film and Avengers: Endgame as the alien rock creature Korg. Now in Free Guy, Reynolds plays a video game background character who realizes he’s a digital creation, and Waititi plays the movie’s villain, the publisher behind the game. Free ...
Wheel of Time Film Series Taps Thor Scribe Zack Stentz
Wheel of Time, the most popular fantasy series of the past 30 years not named Game of Thrones, is heading for the silver screen. As Deadline reports, Zack Stent (Thor, X-Men: First Class) will pen the first film in a planned trilogy. Robert Jordan’s enormous Wheel of Time saga boasts nearly 3,000 named characters and spans 15 books, with the last three completed by Brandon Sanderson after Jordan’s death in 2007. That’s a lot of source material to draw from, and so it’s interesting to note that Stentz’s film series plans to do without most of it — the better to avoid competing with Amazon’s upcoming TV adaptation. Instead, the cinematic trilogy will be set in the Age of Legends, which was already several millennia old by the time the series launched with the first book, ...

Freddie Gibbs Is Stepping Into His Next Phase
By the time we’re able to catch Freddie Gibbs on the phone, he’s already enjoying the breathtaking views of the French Riviera. The 39-year-old had just attended the 2021 Cannes Film Festival premiere of Diego Ongaro’s Down With The King, a forthcoming drama that also happens to be Gibbs’ first acting role. “It’s a blessing to be involved in this, because nobody is knocking down my door to give me a lead role in a film,” he says. “So for me to get my first lead role and get it up at Cannes, where everybody’s receiving the film well, and I was able to help executive produce and write the music — it’s a real experience for me. So hopefully people recognize my acting talent and my talents in the film world.” In Down With The King, Gibbs portrays Mercury “Money Merc” Maxwell, a ...
