  1. Director Sam Raimi comments on the Professor X and Illuminati theories, as they are seemingly appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Phase 4 has been busy exploring multiple new territories as Marvel Studios is entering a new era after the Infinity Saga's end. One of the new storytelling devices for the ever-growing MCU is the concept of the Multiverse. As it's getting more and more popular in shared universes, the MCU has been playing around with the idea of alternative universes and doppelgangers. Following Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange 2 will be the next franchise to continue the Multiverse trend. While uniting Spider-Men of three generations was a massive success, Doctor Strange 2 is reportedly upping the ante on that front. One of the recent trailers caught universal attention as Charles Xavier, a.k.a. Professor X, seemingly appears as a mystery figure, with X-Men star Patrick Stewart's voice being heard. The supposed return also sparked speculation that Professor X's involvement will also see the MCU's introduction of The Illuminati. Everyone involved is, as expected, staying very silent on both fronts, including Stewart, who has been pulling an Andrew Garfield in several recent interviews. Raimi, who is returning to the superhero genre through Doctor Strange 2, since 2007, is joining his fellow colleagues in the secrecy. In a recent interview with Fandango, the filmmaker was directly asked about the scene from the trailer where Stewart's voice was heard, along with the tease of Illuminati. Like many of the talent that works for Marvel Studios, Raimi kept his lips sealed as he stated the following: "I couldn't promise you that Patrick Stewart's in the picture. That's all that Marvel will let me say." Even though there is a lot of evidence pointing to both being in Doctor Strange 2, it's not stopping Marvel Studios from having its strict rules on spoilers. Aside from Stewart's consistently hilarious statements in past interviews, the famous Marvel group did "accidentally" get confirmed to be part of Doctor Strange 2, despite the secrecy. During the middle of March, the Illuminati was referenced via caption on an official photo from Empire Magazine, that said "Strange stands before the Illuminati." Since the caption was never corrected, nor did the publication have to retract its release, it's evident that this was something Marvel Studios wanted to be out there. Regardless of the lack of clear statements from either Raimi or Stewart, it's still fascinating to see what roles Professor X and the Illuminati will potentially play in Doctor Strange 2. Given the massive love for Stewart's portrayal of the iconic Mutant, it will be a huge deal to see him engage with MCU players, in one way or another. The bigger mystery, however, is what other Multiverse cameos will Doctor Strange 2 include in the story. As Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is officially exactly one month away from hitting theaters, fans will know very soon what Raimi's film has in store for the MCU. Source
  2. Jake Gyllenhaal recalls a memorable visit to renowned director Michael Bay's Transformers-filled house. Gyllenhaal first hit the scene in 1991, making his youthful acting debut in City Slickers as Danny Robbins. The esteemed actor would later make his mark in breakthrough roles in October Sky and Donnie Darko. With a slew of acting credits to his name, Gyllenhaal recently entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mysterio, leading to a showdown with Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Gyllenhaal's upcoming projects include a project with Guy Ritchie dubbed The Interpreter and a leading role alongside Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in Bay's new 2022 thriller, Ambulance. Bay directs the first five films in the Transformers film franchise after initially dismissing them as "stupid toy movies." However, Bay signed on and ultimately formed an attachment to the Transformers mythology, wanting to work with the legendary Stephen Spielberg. Bay is well-known for using special effects and CGI to create incredible onscreen visuals, well-documented throughout the Transformers franchise and in his other major motion pictures. Gyllenhaal and co-star Abdul-Mateen recently appeared on a talk show to discuss their upcoming film, Ambulance, and a memorable experience with Bay. In a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live via YouTube, Gyllenhaal recalls visiting Bay's Transformers-filled house. In his statement, Gyllenhaal describes stumbling across a yellow car in the famed director's living room and adventuring through an environment resemblant to Jurassic Park before even arriving at the house. He also shares how it was easier to run into Bumble Bee than to find his co-star in the place. See Gyllenhaal's statement below: "It took a while for us to find each other there; it's a very large home. It's like a huge, huge house. It's huge, and it's filled with Transformers memorabilia. I ran into Bumble Bee before I ran into him (Abdul-Mateen). I swear to God, I walked in there, and there's like a yellow car in his living room. It's like you go through Jurassic Park before you get to his home." Again, Bay is well-known for creating big-budget, over-the-top action films laying heavy on special effects and stylistic cinematography. From Armageddon to Pearl Harbor and the Transformers films, it is apparent that Bay tends to ramp up the intense action sequences and top it all off with incredible explosions. To hear Bay's home described in such a way by Gyllenhaal is not much of a surprise, given the director's propensity to embody a larger-than-life persona. To complement his home, Bay has also owned a $50 million Gulfstream G550 jet along with a Bentley, a Range Rover, an Escalade, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and two Camaros from the Transformers franchise. Regarding Ambulance, Bay appears to step back from the outlandish action-laden and special effects-driven cinematography he is most notably known for. Instead, the film will be a little more character-based, relying less on the visualizations which have begun over-shadowing his projects in recent years. However, since Ambulance is essentially one long car chase, audiences will likely get their fair share of Transformers-related thrills upon the film's release on April 8, 2022. Source
  3. Avengers: Endgame director Joe Russo reveals why the MCU films have so much humor in them. Having grossed $25.6 billion at the worldwide box office, the MCU is the most successful film franchise of all time, and over the past 14 years, audiences have become wrapped up in the characters and the world of these heroes. The films stand as some of the biggest pieces of shared cultural moments of the 21st century, as the dialogue has become quotable in everyday conversation. One defining aspect of the MCU is the franchise's sense of humor, which originated back in 2008's Iron Man, due to the film not having a finished script and having to rely on Robert Downey Jr.'s improv skills, which director Jon Favreau was well suited for because of his comedy background. The franchise would further be defined in The Avengers as the banter and wit of the script was one of the film's highlights, and subsequent MCU films have gone tried to capture that. The comedic elements of the MCU have now become just as much of an attraction for audiences as the action scenes. Russo reveals exactly why the MCU films have so much comedy in them and says it is the key to Marvel's success. While speaking with Deadline, via TheDirect, Russo revealed that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige likes to test Marvel films to see how audiences are enjoying them. Feige wants audiences to have a good time, and part of the way to track that is with humor. Russo said: "Well, Marvel’s secret sauce is that Kevin likes the films to be entertaining, right? And entertaining typically involves humor, and I think that Kevin’s very big on testing movies and I think he likes to sit in the test screening and hear the response. So the audience’s laughing, you can hear their response. You can understand, ’Okay, every 2 minutes [they] are getting some enjoyment out of the movie,' and that’s a strong way for him to gauge how the movie will perform with an audience, right? So I think humor is very important to him.” The MCU style of humor has become so popular that it has been mimicked by other studios and has now grown a negative reception among some audience members as "Marvel Humor." Some take issue with the franchise's insistence on humor as they feel it often deflates rather serious moments, and some criticize the franchise's inability to take anything seriously, like mocking Doc Ock's name in Spider-Man: No Way Home, for example. Yet, even under all the humor, the MCU has been able to use that as a way to get more lofty themes into their films from racial politics in Black Panther to looking at the devastations of colonialism and impacts on refugees in both Captain Marvel and Thor: Ragnarok, or the complicated nature between children and parents in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. However, despite the reaction to Marvel's use of humor, inserting comedy into action films is not something Marvel created. In fact, it very much shows that MCU not only draws from comic books to inform their films but cinematic influence as well. Raiders of the Lost Ark features a number of well-played comedic beats that subvert audiences' expectations, the biggest being when Indiana Jones shoots the swordsman, which was not in the original script. Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond, and Star Wars are other major franchises that found ways to incorporate humorous jokes, quips, and protagonists into their stories to keep audiences entertained. Marvel Studios is just following in the footsteps of the greats. Source
