Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been waiting for the next story arc for Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye ever since Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers 4 have been in production. There’s long been rumor that the MCU Hawkeye would be undergoing the same kind of evolution that his Marvel Comics counterpart did in the 2000s, losing the purple archer theme and trading for the darker persona of the ninja/samurai crimefighter, Ronin.

Avengers 4 set photos and videos have indeed confirmed that Renner’s Clint Barton will get a big design change in the film, but we’re still waiting on the official look at what MCU Ronin will be.

Thankfully, Marvel fans have been pumping out more and more concept artwork of what Jeremy Renner’s Ronin could look like, and BossLogic has created what may be the best concept for a live-action Ronin yet!

Renner’s Ronin will come with some kind of hood option with his costume. The hood will make Ronin stand out and who doesn’t like a hoodie!

What makes this BossLogic artwork so stunning is the level of detail in the mask. It’s done in a way that definitely brings the comics to life, but also reflects a certain amount of personality in its look, if only a mysterious personality, as well as walking the tightrope between being heroic in the ninja or samurai mask tradition and just plain awesome.

That design aesthetic could be very important to both Ronin’s costume and character arc in Avengers 4. A lot of current fan theory leans towards a scenario in which the retired Clint Barton’s beloved wife and kids were disintegrated in The Snap, leaving Clint traumatized and broken. Instead of returning to Hawkeye work, Clint could presumably become either obsessed with reversing The Snap, or get violent and reckless as a man with nothing left to lose. Either path would definitely require the kind of fearsome Ronin persona depicted above. What do you think of the artwork?

Some interesting information has come out of X-Kira Datamining on Twitter. The user specializes in digging up information from popular games, in this case Street Fighter V. And based on their tweets, a fourth season of content for the game is already being planned, along with a new release.

The publisher could be introducing five “legacy” characters into the fold over the course of the next year, along with a new face joining up for the first time. They do warn to take the information “with a grain of salt” since Capcom hasn’t said anything, but it sounds very similar to the business plan it had this year. Check out the tweet below.

Vergeben, who has provided leaks in the past that have ended up being accurate (like Ridley and the Castlevania Belmonts being in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), was able to dig up names of who would be joining the party. This includes Necro, Q and Oro from Street Fighter III fame, along with fan favorite Crimson Viper and Final Fight veteran Sodom, along with the not-yet-revealed newcomer.

But along with other information, including potential holiday outfits for a number of Street Fighter characters, X-Kira also discovered a listing for Super Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, showing off some kind of release in December 2019. You can see the tweet below.

I think Capcom always intended for seasons to start in December. Season 3 was just delayed due to Arcade Edition.

Double Shot is officially in the books! Check out the latest issue from AIC Comics. The man known as The American is asked to put a stop to the triad’s reign over the neighborhood. In order for the American to stop the triad, he needs to find out information from the man who has the ear everywhere, Double Shot.

It all starts with a man who visits The American. He tells the American that his family is in trouble with the triad and if they don’t pay their money. From that point, the action begins!

The American is a bad ass vigilante who doesn’t take nonsense from anyone. He believes in what’s good but does things his way.

Michael Kelley is the writer of Tales from the Streets of Guangzhou #2. Read below to learn what he wrote about himself on comixcentral.com

“I grew up reading comics in the 80’s and 90’s – everything from Garfield and Peanuts in the Sunday paper to TMNT, Spider-Man, X-Men, and Superman. Seeing my favorite characters come to life on the small screen only deepened my love for them; you couldn’t pull me away from the TV on Saturdays until my morning cartoons were over. But it was Michael Keaton’s Batman that truly blew my mind and turned a love into an obsession. Over the years I dreamed of creating my own comics, but my lack of any artistic talent kept me from seeing that dream become a reality. But in April 2017 I finally made the decision to work with some amazing artists who are just as dedicated to my characters as I am.”

The issue is $2.99 on comixcentral.com

Clark Gregg, who will reprise his role as Agent Coulson in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe venture, recently responded to a fan’s comment about his de-aged look in the film. As Gregg joked, they didn’t need to use any de-aging software on him, and all he had to do was take “a four day nap”.

Not bad age reduction VFX work. https://t.co/4OFPZTk8lH

Didn’t use any. Just took a 4 day nap.

Tahiti?

Don’t forget Tahiti is a magical place!

I heard it's a magical place

— greg (@BroPenny) September 18, 2018

The joke is pretty hilarious, and has made some fans reminisce about Coulson’s time in the TAHITI program in between The Avengers and Agents of SHIELD. As it turns out, that task of playing a significantly younger Coulson was a pretty interesting pitch to Gregg.

“That was a fun call from my friends in the Cinematic Universe,” Gregg explained in an interview earlier this year. “who I normally see at these events, saying, ‘You know, we think once again we have some work for you, but it takes place in the ’90s. Can you go to the gym?’ Yeah, I said, ‘The ’90s? I mean, there is no gym that can get me back to the ’90s.’ And they said, ‘Well, don’t worry. We’ve been working on that technology, and we think we can goose you back a few years.’”

In the movie, Coulson will manifest in some particularly interesting ways within Captain Marvel, including a sort of “cool” moment between him and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).

“[Coulson] is a relatively new S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who is obsessed with MC Hammer and dresses just like him, and it makes Director Fury so angry,” Gregg quipped earlier this month. “The genie pants don’t really go with the Armani.”

Clark Gregg added, “Getting to see Captain Marvel come to life, I mean that’s a really cool character…and, at least in the comics, one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.” Gregg explained. “Perhaps more powerful than any character we’ve seen, with the exception of Thanos, so to have that be Brie Larson was cool for me. I’m excited to go with my daughter to see it.”

elizanne_Wow I’m glad you enjoyed Six Flags Great Adventure! That’s awesome!
barzinakhavanThis is truly amazing Ray Ray

Cyborg joins Batman The Ride, Bizarro, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn Crazy Train, Superman: Ultimate Flight, The Joker, The Dark Knight Coaster, and 4D experience Justice League: Battle for Metropolis as the latest DC Comics-inspired attraction at the New Jersey theme park.

Six Flags Great Adventure next adds Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth — the world’s tallest pendulum ride — to its Metropolis area spring 2019.

Warner Bros. releases Aquaman in December, with new solos for Wonder Woman, Flash, and Batman now in the works — Fisher remains hopeful the studio will see the value in a Cyborg-led movie despite a likely costly price tag.

“I don’t know. I can’t comment on that specifically, because they don’t tell me anything until the very last minute,” Fisher said when asked about a Cyborg movie during New Jersey’s Heroes & Villains FanFest.

Despite no apparent movement on Cyborg, Fisher quelled recent rumors when he took to social media to shut down talks he was exiting the role. In other words, It is not yet known when Fisher next reprises his role of Victor Stone.

Cyborg is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez. Cyborg first appears in a special insert in DC Comics Presents #26.

A new photograph that surfaced this weekend that has fans speculating that a fan-favorite character might be returning next May.

In the photograph — which was taken at Simone, a restaurant in which director Joe Russo owns a share — director Taika Waititi can be seen grinning ear-to-ear.

Waititi, of course, played Korg the Kronan in Thor: Ragnarok, a film in which he also directed. Thanks to Korg’s comedic relief, the rock-skinned character soon became a favorite for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe across the globe.

Other cast members include Chris Evans, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, and Marisa Tomei. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is also present with his signature ball cap as is Russo and several others.

Also of note is the inclusion of Yvette Nicole Brown, an actor who appeared in Community, a show in which the Russo Brothers served as executive producers.

According to Feige himself, Korg’s story in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t quite done with yet, so it’s totally plausible we see him in Avengers 4, especially after a mysterious disappearance from Avengers: Infinity War.

“We have plans for Korg and Miek,” said Feige in a conversation with Fandango. “When and where we’ll have to wait and see, but we, like the audience now that they’ve seen them, can’t get enough.”

On the commentary track released with the home media version of Avengers: Infinity War, the film’s writers confirmed that some Asgardians did, in fact, escape the ship before Thanos (Josh Brolin) destroyed it.

“I think we should say that several Asgardians have escaped,” Stephen McFeely said, giving fans some hope to hold onto that Korg, Valkyrie, and maybe a few others made it out.

Russo seconds that note, confirming Valkyrie made it out alive. “Several Asgardians have escaped,” Russo said. “I have gone on record saying Valkyrie has escaped with some of the Asgardians.”

Avengers 4 hits the silver screen on May 3, 2019.

In the wake of the tragic passing of Burt Reynolds earlier today, many people are paying tribute to the famous actor and posting their own messages in honor of the Academy Award-nominated star.

Now Ryan Reynolds posted a hilarious photo honoring the late actor, pointing out how Burt inspired a humorous marketing campaign for Deadpool.

He did it first. And best. And naked. #BurtReynolds pic.twitter.com/3HN5XsPXM6

Such an epic tribute!
Both of these photos are fabulous, even if Deadpool is a little overdressed. #BurtReynolds

Ryan’s statement is the latest to come from family, friends, and colleagues all outpouring in their support. The actor’s passing was a surprise to many, and in response people are speaking about their favorite memories of the iconic star.

Burt’s family issued a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, where his niece Nancy Lee Hess reflected on his legacy.

“My uncle was not just a movie icon; he was a generous, passionate, and sensitive man who was dedicated to his family, friends, fans, and acting students,” said Hess.

“He has had health issues, however, this was totally unexpected. He was tough. Anyone who breaks their tailbone on a river and finishes the movie is tough. And that’s who he was. My uncle was looking forward to working with Quentin Tarantino [in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood] and the amazing cast that was assembled.”

Burt’s former flame and co-star of the classic Smokey and the Bandit, Sally Field, issued a statement to the Associated Press in honor of his memory.

“There are times in your life that are so indelible, they never fade away. They stay alive, even forty years later. My years with Burt never leave my mind. He will be in my history and my heart, for as long as I live. Rest, Buddy,” Field’s statement reads.

These declarations are just a few of the many, many statements issued in the wake of Burt Reynold’s passing. Everyone has come out in support of the family while honoring the storied legacy the actor has had on the industry.

Burt Reynolds was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Boogie Nights, and is known for films such as Deliverance, Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit, and The Longest Yard. He is survived by his son Quinton.

We all remember Iron Man coming out in 2008. We even remember the X-Men movies in which most eyes kicked off the golden age of super hero movies. How soon we forget about the man they called Blade and his movie back in 1998. While it and its accompanying sequels were more straight action films, Blade proved that comic books could make for good movies when treated seriously. It’s not much of a wonder then that Marvel Studios has apparently been meeting with Snipes about the future of the franchise.

How can Blade fit in the MCU?

After 20 films, the MCU has established a concrete story. Tony Stark started it all when he announced himself as Iron Man. His buddy Rhodes tagged along to watch his back as War Machine. Agent Coulson found a hammer out in the middle of a desert which led to Thor. Agents of SHIELD were able to fish a man out of time for the icy grave who turns out to be Captain America.

Many movies later we see Thanos snap his fingers and erase half of humanity.

Where does this leave Blade? At the end of Blade: Trinity Blade and Drac beat the heck out of each other which led to the cops finally reaching the building. The cops always show up late but anyway, Drac respects Blade’s fight and changes into Blade to throw off cops from him. He also says that the future of vampires rests with Blade. At this point, we don’t really know what happened to Blade. Did Blade hide in the shadows until he thought his kind was safe? Did he travel far to make vampire babies?

The MCU can bring Blade into a mentor role for the younger Avengers and the other heroes in the MCU. Wesley Snipes is up there but he can still kick ass. During his time away from the world, he could’ve been training a person who is ready to take his place. Maybe his son? Maybe Hannibal King’s son? After the Avengers take out Thanos in Avengers 4, Blade and his new allies can ride in to tell the Avengers of a new threat.
