Ryan Reynolds writing a movie for Hugh Jackman & Shawn Levy that isn’t Marvel

Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Levy, leaks

Deadpool & Wolverine proved that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman (as well as director Shawn Levy) are a force to be reckoned with. It’s only a matter of time before the trio reunite, and that could be coming sooner than we think.

During a recent interview for the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Reynolds revealed that he will be spending the year “writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.” He wouldn’t elaborate on what type of project this is, but Variety notes that “his enthusiasm hinted at something fresh and unexpected.“

Although this project isn’t a Marvel movie, there has been speculation that Reynolds and Jackman could return to the MCU for the upcoming Avengers movies. As Deadpool & Wolverine gave Marvel its biggest success in several years, I can’t imagine we’ve seen the last of them.

Taking place six years after the events of the last movie, Deadpool & Wolverine finds Wade Wilson (Reynolds) toiling away in civilian life with his days as Deadpool behind him. But when his homeworld faces an existential threat, he must suit up once again and convince a reluctant Wolverine (Jackman) to help save his universe. In addition to Reynolds and Jackman, the cast also includes Matthew Macfadyen, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Brianna Hildebrand, Shioli Kutsuna, Rob Delany, Stefan Kapičić, and more.

Our own Chris Bumbray had a lot of fun with Deadpool & Wolverine, which sounds like a real crowd-pleaser. “Have you ever been to a concert and wished that your favourite band would stop playing their not-as-good new stuff and play the hits? That’s exactly what Marvel is doing with Deadpool & Wolverine,” Bumbray wrote in his review. “After a rough run of movies, with many saying their Phase 5 has been disastrous, this feels like an everything but the kitchen-sink attempt by the company to win back those fans who feel alienated by the new direction the company seemed to be heading in. With this, you have a rock ‘em, sock ‘em thrill ride that delivers fans exactly the movie they wanted to see, with nary a message to be found amidst all the charred, sliced and diced corpses our heroes leave in their wake. It’s glorious fun.” The film is now available on 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/DVD, and will be coming to Disney+ on November 12th.

Hulk Hogan says canned biopic tied to contract issues with Netflix, calls script “amazing”

hulk hogan biopic

Whatcha gonna do, when your biopic gets canceled on you? The once-planned Hulk Hogan biopic which was set to star Chris Hemsworth looks to have been leg dropped into oblivion, disappearing without much fuss. Now, Terry Bollea himself is running wild on just what happened with the movie.

Appearing on the PBD podcast (via Wrestlezone), Hulk Hogan said the now-scrapped biopic ran into issues with dropping the ball over legal matters with Netflix. “They kind of missed a beat in the contract. Yeah…There was a payment that wasn’t placed at the right time. The script was amazing. Scott Silver, who wrote the script for Joker, Wolf of Wall Street,  a bunch of other movies, said, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever written.’ When I read it, I’m like, oh my god, this is really good. At the time, I was in a space where I told him the positive stuff about wrestling.”

Hulk Hogan added that he was a fan of how the biopic was shaping up, hyping it up as a potential Oscar contender. “Spent about three years with this writer going back and forth. When I read it, it was just very, very dark, if that would be the right word, but it was probably what the public may want to see. When I read it, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, if this thing comes out,’ there was talk that Chris Hemsworth had never played a real person before and he could probably win an Oscar, this thing is so powerful. I said, ‘That’s great, everybody’s gonna do really great,’ then I’m gonna be left here alone, and that might be the last thing people remember me for, so I just was moving forward at the time, and when they business-wise missed a date, there was an option for me to pull out, and I did. I pulled out.”

Hulk Hogan also noted that his biopic would have ended during his infamous heel turn, in which he formed the New World Order with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash at 1996. Sorry, wrestlemaniacs, no Fingerpoke of Doom!

No doubt Hulk Hogan would be one of the top wrestlers to warrant a biopic; not only did he help put professional wrestling on the map, but his life and career was filled with controversies, from the steroid trial of 1994 to his lawsuit with Gawker to well beyond. As it stands, talk has circulated about Gus Van Sant, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon working on a movie that centers around the aforementioned Gawker trial.

Do you think there’s an interest in a Hulk Hogan biopic? Who would be an ideal star?

Was Wanda Maximoff ever going to appear in Agatha All Along?

Agatha All Along, Wanda

Marvel’s Agatha All Along series came to a close on Disney+ last week, and despite speculation that Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) might appear (or be resurrected), it didn’t happen. While speaking with THR, showrunner Jac Schaeffer explained how close they actually got to including Wanda in the series.

“It wasn’t really a for-real conversation, and to speak plainly, it’s a larger conversation of casting, logistics, availability, and budget,” Schaeffer said. “Also, to me, on a creative level, it didn’t feel fair to the character of Agatha. This is her story, and the idea of bringing Wanda back felt like it would upend that in a way. I love Wanda desperately, and I feel she is a part of the show in that the repercussions of her actions ripple throughout this chapter. Of course, we also have her son, and we positioned him to have big feelings about Wanda and to not be lined up to immediately embrace her. So I’m interested to see where that thread goes in the MCU.“

Schaeffer also recently said they originally wanted to add Hulkling to the series, but Marvel told them they couldn’t.

There were early conversations about featuring Hulkling in Agatha All Along but Marvel said no

Our own Alex Maidy enjoyed Agatha All Along, saying it “connects the supernatural elements of the MCU with a fun, horror-tinged concept that plays like a cross between the tone of the MCU’s Werewolf By Night and the sassy humor of Disney’s fan-favorite Hocus Pocus.” He also had plenty of praise for Kathryn Hahn, who is able to “dig into Agatha’s backstory in a way similar to how Tom Hiddleston explored Loki in his namesake series.”

“Agatha All Along is a nice entry for new fans and longtime Marvel fans alike to enjoy an engaging series that boasts solid special effects, creepy visuals, crackling dialogue, and a unique foray into the supernatural that will have ripples for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years to come,” Maidy wrote. “Agatha All Along is a solid outing from the uneven recent phases of the MCU that works because it does not require a backlog of research to enjoy it.” You can check out the rest of Maidy’s review right here.
