Hugh Jackman Is Returning As Wolverine For DEADPOOL 3!

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

Man, this was a really fun way to announce a project like this. We knew Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool 3 were coming to The MCU in the (relatively) near future. Director Shawn Levy has officially been announce to helm the project, due in no small part imagine, having collaborated with Reynolds on the success film Free Guys. Beyond that, not much else was known about Deadpool 3. All of that just changed with a MASSIVE announcement made by Reynolds on social media. In a delightful and exciting video, Reynold updated fans on the status of the film, in very amusing Ryan Reynolds fashion, and proceeded to drop an enormous bomb: Hugh Jackman is returning to play Wolverine in Deadpool 3! Take a look at the video right here:

First things first, I’m damn near 100% certain that Hugh Jackman will continue to play Wolverine in The MCU beyond Deadpool 3. The MCU needs to find their own X-Men. Something wildly different than the original movies that adheres to the essence of The X-Men. Fortunately, when it comes to the X-Men there are so many stories, characters, and ideas from decades of X-Men comics, that the original films never even came close to touching upon. So there are a lot of cool ways Marvel Studios could make something that is quintessentially X-Men that we have never seen on screen before.

This isn’t completely unprecedented in The MCU, after all, we did just see Charles Xavier pop up prominently in Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. The difference here being that Charles Xavier‘s appearance was just a little bit more than a cameo, but with Wolverine he’s most likely going to be a huge part of Deadpool 3. In fact, I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of this being an out right team up movie. With Deadpool, the normal rules of storytelling don’t apply, so this won’t affect Marvel’s casting for the inevitable, upcoming MCU X-Men film. They’re not bringing Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine and putting him in The MCU for a cameo. He will almost certainly be the co-lead in Deadpool 3 alongside Ryan Reynolds. While Logan was the perfect swan song for Hugh Jackman‘s troubled mutant hero, he’s always has left the door slightly open, for a possible return if it was in The MCU. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman probably aren’t the longterm future of The X-Men and mutants in the MCU. Regardless of how it all plays out, it’s the perfect way to kick off and celebrate moving into The Mutant Era of The MCU. This is exciting stuff folks! This truly is a great time to be a fan.

UPDATE

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman just released another video talking about Deadpool 3. In their own very funny way, they address some of the continuity issues that I pointed out a box. Check it out :

UPDATED!!! The AWESOME List: August 2021’s Coolest Movies, Shows, & Comics!

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

The SUMMER ain’t over yet! These are my picks for the movie, TV, streaming, and comic book content to check out in August 2021.

TV

UFO – Documentary Series (Sunday 8/8) Showtime

UFO’s have been in the news now more than ever. As a long time UFO researcher, it’s very satisfying to see this topic finally being taken seriously. This is a 4-part documentary series from JJ Abrams premiering on Showtime. Abrams may have fallen out of grace as a filmmaker, for me at least, but the subject matter makes this a must watch.

Stargirl Season 2 (Tuesday 8/10) The CW

This was a very pleasant surprise when the first season premiered last year. A great cast, cool villains, and fantastic use of classic characters and lore from throughout DC‘s history. This is a great superhero show that the whole family can enjoy. From what I’ve seen, they seem to have really kicked it up a notch in Season 2.

Marvel Studio’s WHAT IF…? (8/11) Disney+

After the events of LOKI, this promises to be very cool.

Titans Season 3 (8/12) HBO

An underrated superhero show that I highly recommend checking out. The first two seasons are available on HBO Max right now.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season (8/22) AMC

I gave up on The Walking Dead a few seasons back, but I just might tune in to see how everything wraps up.

Blu-Ray/4K

Batman: The Long Halloween Part II (8/10)

This has been one of the stronger stories put out by DC Animation over the last few years. Part 1 was great and reviews for Part 2 are even better. I’ve heard that the best way to watch this, is to watch Part 1 & 2, back-to-back. As one movie, like the filmmakers created it to be. I’m sure that, just like their adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, DC animation will release a Deluxe Edition that is the entire Long Halloween story as one film.

Movies

The Suicide Squad (8/6)

This is a James Gunn movie. Enough said

Free Guy (8/13)

I had zero interest in seeing this film, however I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. The early word is that it’s phenomenal, which is kind of shocking. Friend of the podcast Mark Fitzgerald, who I interviewed, a few months back worked on this movie. So I’m definitely going at the very least auto for loyalty my friend Mark.

The Green Knight (8/18)

This unique and captivating retelling of a classic Arthurian fable has been receiving rave reviews since its release. The film is very far from your typical fantasy movies like Lord of The Rings, as a result some have found it difficult to find a local theater playing the movie on the big screen. So the company that produced the film is giving moviegoers as chances to watch this excellent new story online. Here are the details on how to watch courtesy of Screen Rant: The A24 Screening Room will be playing The Green Knight for one night only in an online format. It will be available on Wednesday, August 18 at 9PM EST and tickets are available now on the A24 Screening Room site at the price of $20 per ticket. The film is accessible through the web, Apple TV, and Roku. After creating an account and buying a ticket, customers will be able to have access to the movie at the aforementioned date and time. Audiences will have 4 hours to watch the film and any other content provided.

New Movies On Streaming

Godzilla VS Kong (Available on HBO Max on 8/17)

A sometimes dumb, but nonetheless fun watch.

Comic Books/Graphic Novels

The Trial of Magneto (8/18)

Someone murdered Wanda Maximoff, The Scarlet Witch, and Magneto is the prime suspect. But what if Magneto is innocent? Did he really kill his own daughter or is there something far more sinister at play? The 5-Issue miniseries is the latest chapter in Jonathan Hickman’s ongoing X-Men Saga that continues to rock the Marvel Universe to it’s core.

Kang The Conqueror #1

SPOILERS FOR LOKI!!!! Fans of the recently wrapped first season of Loki, had a lot of questions following the standout finale episode. The character at the center of many of those questions, was the man pulling strings of The TVA: He Who Remains. He Who Remains, is of course better known to comic book readers as Kang The Conqueror. Kang, He Who Remains, or whoever you want to call him, has gone by many names while becoming the self proclaimed Master of Time. No matter the incarnation we see him in next, this character is going to be massively important moving forward into Phase 4 of The MCU. This 5-issue miniseries is a great place to start for anyone wanting a better understanding Kang and how this fascinating villain will shape the past, present, and future of The MCU.

PODCAST: Interview with Mark Fitzgerald – Location Manager On The Town, Mystic River, & Much More!

Published on by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwrightLeave a comment

Hey Everyone,

Paul here….

Mark has worked on numerous classics like The Town, The Departed, and Mystic River (pictured above)

  On this episode of The World’s Best Podcast, I sat down for an interview with Film Location Manager, Mark Fitzgerald. Mark has become synonymous with Boston filmmaking. You may not immediately recognize his name, but he’s left his mark on The City of Boston’s portrayal in movies like few people have. As Location Manager for dozens of films over the last two decades and beyond, he’s worked on movies all over the country, as well as some of Boston’s most iconic films. In our far reaching interview, we discuss how through his work with legendary filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, David Mamet, and Ben Affleck, Mark has reshaped how this unique city has been brought to life on film. All this and much more, in this incredibly fascinating interview covering Mark’s prolific career in the movie business. This discussion was an absolute delight and I hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as I did recording it! Enjoy!

3 more films Mark worked on: Gone Baby, Gone, Good Will Hunting, & Patriots Day. His filmography includes, but is not limited to films such as The Equalizer 1 & 2, Grown Ups 1 & 2, That’s My Boy, Here Comes The Boom, Fever Pitch, and Ted 2, just to name a few!

Mark was kind enough to send me the photos below, which he really liked because of the circumstances behind them. While working on the film “21”, Mark and the rest of the production team where able to close off Massachusetts Ave. in Boston and land their camera mounted helicopter, which is no east feet! It had to be cleared with multiple government agencies, as well as the BPD. As he explained it to me, the director even wanted the 22 polls removed from each side the bridge. All of this to get a sweeping a shot of one of the actors on a motorcycle driving across the bridge. Despite all the difficulties and hard work they managed to get it all done! Unfortunately, as it sometimes happens, the shot ended up on the cutting room floor! (Mark is on the far right of the photos, wearing a long sleeve white shirt, jeans, and work boots)

Mark Fitzgerald is pictured on the far right in a white shirt and jeans

Mark’s next film hitting theaters is Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds, premiering later this year. When the pandemic allows for filming to begin, Mark’s next project will be working on the next movie from Academy Award winning director Adam McKay (Anchorman, The Big Short, Step Brother, Vice)!
