Disney Quietly Adds Fantastic Four to Disney+ Roster

Disney Quietly Adds Fantastic Four to Disney+ Roster

Disney Quietly Adds Fantastic Four to Disney+ Roster. Since the acquisition of Fox by Disney, many fans have wondered when Disney would begin streaming Fox titles on their new streaming service, Disney+. Some of the most anticipated films include the Fox created Marvel movies such as the X-Men films yet others like the Deadpool films have been deemed inappropriate for the streaming service. Though most of the X-Men films are currently streaming via HBO and HBO Max, Disney did quietly add Fantastic Four (2015) to the Disney+ library this week.

The synopsis for the film share on Disney+ states, “A young genius builds a portal to another dimension with help from friends and colleagues but an accident leaves one stranded and the others altered with unusual powers Four years later, the stranded victor returns as a megalomaniacal conqueror and the others must put aside their differences to stop him as the Fantastic Four.”

The movie is a surprise addition to the Disney+ roster and only received a minor announcement via the “New to Disney+” category on the Disney+ home page. Very few featured films have slipped through announcements before being surprisingly added to the streaming service and though it performed poorly in theaters it’s still an interesting take on the iconic characters from the Marvel Comics.

 In a recent interview, actor John Krasinski shared that he would love to play Reed Richards for Marvel Studios. More recent designs of Reed Richards within the comics are looking very twin like to The Quiet Place and The Office actor. Rumors spread like wildfire that he was already cast in the role without auditioning after it was revealed Krasinski’s wife, Emily Blunt, was approached by representatives from Marvel Studios while on set for Disney’s The Jungle Cruise, with news spreading that Emily and John were offered the roles of Reed Richards and Sue Storm for the remake of Fantastic Four that would be the first F4 movie tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Neither Disney nor Marvel has yet to confirm any of these rumors, but it seems that Krasinski and Blunt seem rather rehearsed in their responses to questions about the potential casting, and have refrained from answering Yes or No so far… Both actors seem eager to work with Marvel Studios, especially after Krasinski came VERY close to playing Captain America in the MCU, previously, and Blunt being very active with Walt Disney Studios with Mary Poppins Returns and The Jungle Cruise.

Filming for the ‘Avatar’ Sequels has Resumed in New Zealand

Filming for the ‘Avatar’ Sequels has Resumed in New Zealand. Recently, New Zealand approved the resumption of filming for various film studios including the studio housing the filming for the Avatar sequels which are being filmed simultaneously.

The news comes from Producer, Jon Landau, who shared a photo of himself and director James Cameron on the tarmac at Wellington International Airport in New Zealand.

As we previously shared, the Avatar sequels are being film simultaneously in an unprecedented manor that is rather un heard of in the film industry. Director James Cameron has confirmed they have finished filming for Avatar 2 and are currently working on filming for Avatar 3-5. Despite production on set being shut down, many VFX artists were still hard at work on the films, so there is little chance of a delay in the films release in December 2021.

We are very excited to see filming resume on the Avatar sequels and can’t wait for more photos and insight into the filmmaking process. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney!

Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme

Hugh Jackman Trolls Ryan Reynolds With Kids Birthday Theme. Any fans of the dynamic duo Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds know that the famous best buddies love jabbing one another in internet videos and have hosted a friendly “feud” over the years on social media.

It seems this time Hugh Jackman is taking the first jab after a Marvel fan named Sam enjoyed his 8th birthday themed around Deadpool and Wolverine, the characters portrayed by Jackman and Reynolds in the previously Fox owned Marvel titles.

Hugh Jackman shared the story of Sam in a recent tweet followed by the caption: “Sam celebrated his 8th birthday with dueling #Wolverine and #Deadpool cakes. I think it’s crystal clear won. Don’t you?”

From the photo, it appears Sam is ever so slightly a bigger fan of Wolverine, donning the iconic grimace and stance of Wolverine with claws drawn. Hence, the reason Jackman shared the photo. Currently, Ryan Reynolds has yet to comment on the tweet, but we all know a snarky comment or response can’t be far behind.

Regardless of what Ryan has to say, I’m sure Sam’s birthday was made by the acknowledgement from one of his favorite heroes and we hope he had fun celebrating his 8th birthday. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel!

‘Avatar 2’ Poster, Plot Details, and Movie Title Potentially Leaked Online

‘Avatar 2’ Poster, Plot Details, and Movie Title Potentially Leaked Online. Though production is currently at a stand-still, the production team for the Avatar sequels have still been showing photos from the set that give us a little insight into the direction of the films, but some have fans even more curious about what paths the story may take.

Director James Cameron has shared that the stories will not be directly tied to one another, so you won’t have to watch the films in order to understand what is going on in the story, but he did share that a potential title for the film is Avatar: The Way of Water, some time ago. Well, it appears that either a very dedicated fan created a convincing movie poster for the sequel or somehow the actual movie poster was leaked online, giving us the films title. Check out the poster below:

Recently, the official Avatar page on Twitter shared some photos taken on set before production was frozen of director James Cameron giving direction to actors filming a mysterious underwater sequence for the films. “From the set of the sequels: [James Cameron] directing the actors before they dive underwater for performance capture. Fun fact: That layer of white on the water’s surface is comprised of floating balls that prevent lights from interfering with filming underwater.”

It is unknown which of the four sequels will feature the footage taken from this film set, as all four movies are being filmed and produced simultaneously, but the studio did share a little tidbit of information regarding how filmmakers keep too much light from ruining any shots. A good portion of the film tank is filled with pingpong balls to help with the lighting effect underwater! Pretty cool, right?!

It was also revealed that Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Vin Diesel, and Edie Falco have been added to the cast of the sequels, with Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang reprising their roles. Weaver and Lang will be reprising their roles for flashback sequences since their characters died in the first film.

Not much is known about the new characters, but we do know that Kate Winslet will be playing a Na’vi who lives underwater. We also know the sequels will follow the children of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) as they explore other aspects of Pandora.

We love learning new and creative techniques in filmmaking and can not wait to see the Avatar sequels in theaters! Currently, the films are slated to release in December 2021, 2023, 2025, 2027, and production delays are not expected to change these release dates. Be sure to follow Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney!
