The MCU
Kat Dennings stated she “will always say yes” to playing Darcy Lewis in future MCU Projects during a recent interview with Collider.
That’s so true. It’s not. I pinch myself about that. I told my husband (Andrew W.K.) the other day that I think the coolest thing that’s ever happened in my entire career is when I became a Darcy LEGO. They’re called LEGO Minimates, and there’s a Darcy one. I literally can’t believe that I’m a LEGO. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, besides meeting my husband. It is the best thing, ever. I can’t believe that this character became this thing that’s gone over so many different things. It’s one of those luck of the draw things because that role originally was just supposed to be an assistant that was in a couple of scenes in Thor. And for whatever reason, they expanded it and expanded it and kept using me. Every time, I was like, “I can’t believe they want me back. This is the best!” So, every time they ask for me, I will always say yes, no matter what. I just still can’t believe it.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
During a recent interview with Variety, Brian Tyree Henry promised “there’s not going to be a dry eye in the house” when Beyond the Spider-Verse finally sees release.
No, look, it takes time, but we got to make you wait a little bit. You know what I mean? But it’s coming. It’s coming. There’s not going to be a dry eye in the house. I’ll tell you that. Good luck. It’s not going to wrap up in a nice little bow what things do.
Violent Night 2
In conversation with Syfy, Violent Night 2 co-screenwriter Josh Miller revealed David Harbour’s Santa Claus will find himself in a new situation with “a little Western influence” opposed to the original’s clear homage to Die Hard.
The first one obviously lived in a Die Hard space. We can’t tease too much, other than we’re trying to bring in a little Western influence.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
In conversation with Dexerto, Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler revealed he’s “very aware” of Big the Cat’s popularity and “what that might mean for our movie universe” going forward.
I think that everyone always jokes about Big the Cat, so I can’t say when or where or how, but we’re very aware of his popularity and what that might mean for our movie universe. He’s a fan favorite, he’s certainly one of my favorites, but who knows when he’ll find his way to the big screen.
