Image
Today it was announced that the R-rated, Deadpool animated tv series being developed by Donald and Stephen Glover alongside FX and Marvel Television was canceled. The show was announced nearly a full year ago, but now without seeing the light of day, the show has been canceled. What was happening is that the Glover brothers were producers for the series, which was going to be funded by Marvel television, and the show would air of FX like the other X-Men Marvel series like Legion and Gifted. From tweets and script leaks, it appears that Marvel television canceled the project. There are many reasons hinted by Donald Glover as to why the series was canceled.

There may be a number of other reasons as to why the show has fallen apart so it will be interesting to see what else might come out from this. In conclusion, this Deadp...

Image
After debuting as Steve Rogers, the kid from Brooklyn in Captain America: The First Avengers in 2011, Chris Evans has played the character of Captain America every year in a Marvel film. After nearly an entire decade of doing this Evans might be done playing the star-spangled man. It is being reported that Chris Evans is done playing Captain America after Avengers four in 2019. There is a lot that could happen with this, regarding Chris Evans and the character of Captain America, so let's get into that. To start off, Evan's contract was a six-film deal, and he has done three solo Captain America films, three Avengers films, two cameos, and he came back to film Avengers four last year.

DEADPOOL 2 THE TRAILER BREAKDOWN

Image
Hey everyone, a new Deadpool 2 trailer has dropped and we get a look at the main story of the film, and how characters such as Cable, Julian Dennison's character, and the name dropped X-Force team factor into this film. I will do my best to break down all the new stuff that is going down in the trailer, so here we go. The trailer opens up with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) jumping into Dopinder's (Karan Soni) while being chased by some criminals. This is what I assume is the beginning of the film, Deadpool going on the run of the mill missions taking down gangs. I am assuming we will see some form of a montage of Deadpool running away from an army of gang members, and getting saved by Dopinder, as we see Wade go a series of missions in different locations in the trailer, such as the Asian styled skyscraper, the strip club, and the funeral. I do like how both Wade and Dopinder crap their pants from nearly being killed. Should've worn the brown pants. We get an over the...
