Simu Liu who plays Shang-Chi in the new film has struck back against Bob Chapek:
Confirming the recent delay to October 15th 2021, Venom: Let There Be Carnage has recieved new posters depicting the title characters Venom & Carnage. The film is set to feature Tom Hardy reprising his role as Eddie Brock with his symbiote Venom while introducing Woody Harrelson playing the serial killer Cletus Kasady who gains the Carnage symbiote.
The reason behind these delays is attributed to the continued lack of a box office recovery which has been most evident recently with Black Widow failing to break-even at the box office. With Shang-Chi still planned for a September release date at the current time, the box office of that film could determine if more big budget films are pushed back even further with the most notable being Eternals and Spider-man: No Way Home which I personally feel will be pushed back for a summer 2022 release.
"That whole Drax, Thanos history seemed to get swept under the rug"
Dave Bautista who plays Drax The Destroyer, has recently spoken his anger at his characters portrayal in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame remarking on his character arc being completely ignored.
"Always wondered why but every reason I could come up with just makes me shake my fucking head. It is what it is"
I am also curious as to why Drax's character arc was seemingly abandoned for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and will await Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 which will hopefully explore the fallout of the death of Thanos and it's impact on Drax as a character.
It's unclear at the moment as to if the movie will be delayed internationally, however with Paramount Pictures recently delaying 'Clifford the Big Red Dog' and the box office from Black Widow, it is possible that studios feel the box office has not recovered enough yet for releases.
It is possible that Sony and other studios are waiting to see the box office of Shang Chi, which releases September 3rd before commiting to a global delay.
"A couple of episodes that were a little too dark. There was an original 'What If' run where Spider-Man turns into a real spider, and that was just too dark and too body horror for the PG-13 [rating]."
"Sersi's not necessarily the best fighter, she doesn't have the most obviously impressive powers. The main thing is she's an empath, she has a connection with humans, and with the world and the earth. That is her strength, so I leant into that."
Eternals tells the story of a group of superpowered individuals who have lived on Earth for thousands of years who team-up once again to battle against a race known as the Deviants.
"There was an episode that just wouldn't hit the completion date, but luckily we do get to see it in the second season of the show,"
He went on to confirm that "Season 2 will also be 9" episodes, which is questionable as the date for a second season has not been revealed yet and it would arguably be possible for them to have a 10 episode second season if desire.
What If...? will now run from August 11th to October 6th in weekly installments on Disney+
It's worth noting that the promotional art hints to a potential change of powers for the character as her abilities normally focused around shapeshifting and elasticity - however she appears to have some sort of ice or energy blast here.
Moon Knight is set to star Oscar Isaac as the titular hero. Filming on the show is underway. Ethan Hawke will play one of Moon Knight's villains, speculated to be 'Sun King'. May Calamawy has also reportedly been cast in an undisclosed role.
