A young Han Solo movie is also rumored to be one of the developing Star Wars spinoffs, possibly the one that Chronicle director Josh Trank is working on; if so, that would help to explain why Han isn’t going to appear in Edwards’ spinoff, should this rumor pan out. It’s canon that Han won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game strategy|Https://movietriviafocus.com/ (see their conversation in The Empire Strikes Back ) – so if we do see the ship in its days before Han owned it, that could mean an appearance by a young Lando is in order (either buying the Falcon or already being its own
As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between “episodes” ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential – we’ve already pitched a pretty good story idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we’re not opposed to that happening, eit
In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning – if only as the Sith equivalent of a “force ghost” – and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu
Though Obi-Wan’s ghost already played a role in the original trilogy (embodied by the late, great Sir Alec Guinness), as L-R correctly points out, Hayden Christensen was CGI-surgically implemented into George Lucas’ redux of Return of the Jedi in replacement of original Human-Vader actor, Sebastian Shaw. In that sense, McGregor’s slot in franchise is pretty secure, should the filmmakers choose to go in that direction. After all, for a younger generation of fans, McGregor IS Obi-
Aside from pop culture references, the Wachowskis also managed to include one massive hint that most fans probably never noticed. When Neo finally confronts the Architect of the Matrix in the first sequel, he learns that the creator of the system has been following him his entire life (or lives) – and the first movie already offered proof. When Neo is first captured by enemy Agents, a bank of surveillance monitors shows him being interrogated. The exact same monitors the Architect is surrounded by in the next movie. Critics may claim the directors never planned on more than one film to start, but some of the bigger ideas were clearly there right from the st
In Marvel’s version of World War II, it was HYDRA and Red Skull who posed the real threat to the Allies. The villain even shrugs off Adolf Hitler, claiming to be doing real research while the German leader wastes his time “digging for trinkets in the desert.” When audiences remember that Captain America director Joe Johnston worked in visual effects and art direction for Raiders of the Lost Ark , the real meaning of this line is clear. At the very least, it’s a nod to the plot of Indiana Jones’ first adventure, and at most, a playful hint that the archeologist existed in the Marvel Unive
Marvel’s Avengers universe is based on fantastic figures, science, and otherworldly adventures, but they’re apparently even hard to believe for the everyday characters inside the films themselves. When Ant-Man villain Darren Cross references the old stories of a miniature superhero working in secret, he claims they’re nothing but “propaganda, Tales to Astonish.” He’s not wrong, either. Ant-Man’s unbelievable powers actually debuted in the comic “Tales to Astonish,” making this one of the most meta moments Marvel has ever featured, and a major statement about the hero’s entire story for the viewers who manage to catch
It’s good and quite funny to see J.J. Abrams admit he has a problem when it comes to lens flares. It’s also refreshing to see that he has a sense of humor about it too. But fans will react negatively to The Force Awakens if there are a lot of lens flares throughout its running time. In fact, if you watch any of The Force Awakens marketing materials, such as trailers or TV spots , you can plainly see there will be at least some lens flares featured in the new Star Wars . Hopefully, they’re not too distracting to enjoy The Force Awakens , but you know someone out there is going to count each and every one while watching the mo
Jeff Bridges got the chance to show a darker side when cast as the villain of Iron Man , but the visual effects team made it clear which of the actor’s roles was their favorite. When Pepper Potts is secretly looking for evidence on his computer, the documents show weapons shipped on a vessel named “Lebowski” – a nod to Bridges’ role in The Big Lebowski released a decade earlier. His character’s name is also contained in a barcode for all to see, and exact quotes from the movie are easy to read in the fine print. Pepper and the viewers had just a fraction of a second to read all of the hidden messages, since she’s interrupted by none other than The Dude hims
