Spider-Man: Brand New Day Breaks 24-Year Marvel Trend For The MCU Hero Who Needs It The Most

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man benefited from the appearances of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men in what many consider a top-tier Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Although those alternate Spider-Men aren’t likely to return for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the new movie will feature other key MCU characters. Notably, the inclusion of a beloved hero in Brand New Day marks the first time Marvel has broken a 24-year-old pattern.

Gillian Anderson Clarifies Talks With Ryan Coogler About X-Files Reboot

I’ve been following the potential X-Files reboot, and it sounds like Ryan Coogler’s been juggling a lot! His work on a big historical horror film set for 2025 meant the X-Files project had to take a backseat for a while. He’s said he’ll dive back in as soon as he finishes that other movie, Sinners. He gave us an update in October, confirming things were moving forward, and even shared that his mom, a big fan of the original X-Files, has been a real inspiration for the new show. But, frustratingly, he’s still not giving away any hints about who might be starring!

This Marvel Star Nearly Played the DCEU’s Wonder Woman, And Would Have Nailed It

While Gal Gadot is well-known for playing Wonder Woman, it’s certainly possible someone else could have been cast in the role.

Peter in 1941. Elodie Yung, in particular, seemed like a strong contender at the time.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Review: Christmas Slasher Remake Is a Mixed Bag

The original film embodied the spirit of the mid-1980s and a focus on limited government, but Mike P. Nelson’s updated version is much darker. It focuses on the evil that lurks beneath a friendly facade – those who seem like good neighbors but secretly harbor sinister intentions. While we might all put on a cheerful face during the holidays, this film suggests some people are hiding truly disturbing behavior. Like the characters in shows like Dexter, the killer in this film only targets terrible people. And like Venom, he’s driven by an internal voice with unclear motives – is it a mental illness, or something else, like Santa Claus himself? Either way, some truly awful people are going to meet a violent end.

Gilmore Girls Fans Were Wrong About Mrs. Kim

In contrast, Mrs. Kim and her daughter Lane presented a very different dynamic. Though Mrs. Kim started as a potentially unpopular character – a stern and inflexible mother in a generally heartwarming show – she ultimately became one of its most compelling figures. While some fans feel other characters lost their way in later seasons, Mrs. Kim consistently remained a strong and well-developed character.
