With The New Mutants finally heading to Blu-ray, the final chapter of Fox’s X-Men Universe has been told, and Marvel Studios can now focus on rebooting the franchise. They’ll need a new Wolverine for that, of course, and Westworld star Luke Hemsworth is keen to take a crack at the clawed mutant.

Talking to Screen Rant, the brother of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Thor made it clear that it’s a role he thinks he would be a good fit for.

“I would love to,” Hemsworth admitted, making it clear he’s a big comic book fan. “I grew up with them. I learned to draw through comic books, copying comic books since I was about 10 years old. Spawn was a big one for; I really loved Todd McFarlane’s Spawn. And then Batman – I would have fought Rob Pattinson for those gauntlets.”

“And Wolverine!” he added. “I’m like, ‘Come on, just pass them on, mate. Let’s give it to another Aussie.’ I’ll have to grow some chest hair, but I’m ready for Wolverine.”

It’s not hard to picture the actor as a weathered version of the X-Men stalwart, and Hemsworth is no stranger to the MCU after making a memorable cameo appearance as Thor in the play “Odin” was watching in Thor: Ragnarok.

Do you guys think the Westworld star would be a good fit for Wolverine?

Amazing Spider-Man #850 is well worth picking up, though some fans may be disappointed that Kindred’s identity isn’t revealed. After the wall-crawler is forced to team up with the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn takes the Goblin Serum again near the start of the issue), he throws the villain to the mercy of the Sin-Eater after he repeatedly threatens Spider-Gwen. 

In an epilogue, it’s strongly hinted that Kindred is someone from Spider-Man’s life who has died.

As you can see below, he stands in front of a grave, but we never learn who that belongs to. One of the most popular theories is that Kindred is Harry Osborn, and that the Harry who returned from the dead is a clone or something along those lines. That would explain his hatred of Peter and Norman, though it is still possible this is the pre-One More Day Peter Parker. 

Why would he be looking at a grave? Well, it could be Gwen Stacy’s, with this a misdirect of sorts to throw us off the scent. Either way, it’s definitely a shame that Amazing Spider-Man #850 failed to reveal the villain’s identity, though we can only hope that changes with next week’s issue. 

What did you guys think about Nick Spencer’s landmark issue?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a divisive movie, and for whatever reason, fans vented their frustrations on actress Kelly Marie Tran. There was nothing really wrong with Rose Tico as a character, but in a bid to pander to those same “fans,” J.J. Abrams completely sidelined the Resistance hero in The Rise of Skywalker. 

That also generated some backlash, and it was last December that Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu mentioned that he would love to give Rose her own Disney+ series. 

When Collider mentioned that to Tran, she responded: “He’s so cool. I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. It’s so strange. I had so much fun being in that world but I feel like the pieces would have to fall into a perfect little puzzle and everything would have to feel like it’s the right time and the right moment and the right story, like with any other project. But I don’t know.”

The site noted that Rose is a character who has more story to tell, a sentiment that Tran agrees with. “Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I think there are a lot of characters in that universe that we have yet to hear enough about.” 

Clearly, she’s undecided about a return, and as of right now, it seems doubtful that Lucasfilm will return to that era in Star Wars history. It’s possible Tran might be able to reprise the role in an animated series or something similar, but our best bet right now is that she returns in a novel or comic book.

There should be nothing but excitement surrounding the release of Spider-Man: Miles Morales on the PlayStation 5, but the “Remastered” version that will be part of the Ultimate Edition has been generating a lot of negative press. Fans hate the redesigned Peter Parker, while the inability to carry save files from the PS4 has not sat well with some gamers. 

Regardless, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Insomniac have released a new look at the web-slinger confirming that you’ll once again be able to take selfies while swinging around the Big Apple.

Miles looks amazing here, and it’s going to be really exciting to get hands on with the game on November 12th. Rumour has it that the game won’t be overly long, so fingers crossed for a DLC down the line.

In the latest adventure in the Marvel’s Spider-Man universe, teenager Miles Morales is adjusting to his new home while following in the footsteps of his mentor, Peter Parker, as a new Spider-Man. But when a fierce power struggle threatens to destroy his new home, the aspiring hero realizes that with great power, there must also come great responsibility. To save all of Marvel’s New York, Miles must take up the mantle of Spider-Man and own it.

Following her memorable supporting role in Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Allison Williams is set to reteam with Blumhouse for a new sci-fi horror flick from Housebound director Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN.

The former Girls actress will star as Gemma, a brilliant roboticist at a toy company. She uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a kid’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype – a decision that has unimaginable consequences.

We’re going to go ahead and assume those unimaginable consequences involve M3GAN malfunctioning and going on a killing spree. The premise sounds a little too close to Child’s Play, but Johnstone did deliver a highly entertaining little chiller with Housebound, and there might well be more to the plot than the synopsis suggests.

Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2, Luke Cage) penned the script from an original story by Aquaman director James Wan. Jason Blum and Wan are producing the movie along with Michael Clear of Wan’s Atomic Monster banner.

No word on when production is expected to commence or a tentative release date.

What do you guys make of this? Does M3GAN sound like it has potential? Let us know in the comments.

As the third season of Twitch’s Artificial has been released, we have been bringing you guys our exclusive chats with the cast and the crew. We’ve shared conversations with creator Bernie Su (Emma Approved), Miss Asian America 2006 Jennifer Field (House of Lies), voice actress Alejandra Reynoso (Castlevania), the one and only Rufio, Dante Basco (Hook, Avatar: The Last Airbender), and at least a half a dozen other stars.

With Season 3 having ended last week, we are now wrapping up our interviews with the cast, and today we’re bringing you our final piece promoting the Emmy award-winning series. This chat is with The Last of Us Part II’s Jesse voice and mo-cap actor, Stephen Chang (Captain Marvel, Emma Approved).

Stephen spoke with us about why people see his character as a villain, what it’s like to act opposite Rufio himself, and we even learned a bit about his very own children’s book, which was inspired by his college basketball career.

To listen to our exclusive interview with Stephen Chang, click the podcast player below. Otherwise, scroll down for this portion of the transcript.

4m 5s Literary Joe: You worked with Bernie on Emma Approved first?

4m 12s Stephen Chang: Yeah, that was Bernie’s second Emmy award-winning show. (laughs) He’s collecting all the Emmys. He’s been sweeping them up.

4m 49s Literary Joe: Do you feel like the character Churchill that you played in Emma Approved influenced Sebastian at all?

5m 47s Stephen Chang: I feel like they’re cut from the same cloth. I think when Bernie saw that I could do Churchill, what I did for that show. I like it because most things I go out for are police officers or a military guy. He allows me to be crazy. He allows me to go big with it. He allows me to be wild and flamboyant. And I’m honored because he’s the only director that’s ever cast me that way. And he’s like yeah, Stephen can do that.

5m 53s Literary Joe: How do you feel about this rivalry you have with Dante Basco’s Zander?

6m 33s Stephen Chang: I’m more honored that I get to act with Rufio. The writers are telling me that this Dante is making me look really bad in this show. He’s exposing my secrets. They said, don’t worry, Stephen, you have to fall before you can get back up. OK. I like where this is going. So I’m not the total a*****e in this show. They’re going to bring me back in all of my glory, hopefully.

6m 40s Literary Joe: If there’s a season four, what kind of future do you see happening for Sebastian?

6m 44s Stephen Chang: I’m trying to get through season three right now. I don’t know where it’s going now. I don’t know where they are going to end the season. I’m finding out like everyone else, but I’m very excited about it. I think it’d be interesting to get it out into the world again after remote location filming. In my ego, Sebastian is the hero. He has to save the day somehow. But everyone else says he’s a villain.

12m 36s Darth Lexii: Where do you film in your house for Artificial? It looks like a soundproof room.

12m 36s Stephen Chang: Well, it was a big brouhaha because I’m supposed to be a multimillionaire, and they said, what do you have in your house? I show them, and they say it doesn’t look like a multimillionaire house. And I was like, I ain’t a multimillionaire. So, they played with the idea of he’s in the soundproof room, that’s mysterious. You don’t know where he is, but it’s been convenient because I’ve been able to film at different locations using that same background. I’m not limited to my one room, but no, sorry to spoil it for you, but I don’t have a soundproof room. It’s just a couple of panels too.

14m 53s Literary Joe: What do you think of Life Score?

17m 6s Stephen Chang: When I’m on the live-stream, I guess its probably a good thing, but I don’t hear the score behind it. I don’t know how they’re doing half the stuff they’re doing. It’s so creative and out of the box thinking. Things that I would never even imagine. Talking to Bernie, I fell like this is where entertainment might be heading—giving audiences a lot more control over the story and even the sound. I prefer to watch a movie, and I can fall asleep during the movie if I need to. But this, you have to be paying attention. We are doing this s**t live. Okay. And that’s why I have a lot of gray hairs. This is what the audience wants you to do, and you have to go with it.

20m 49s Literary Joe: Is there anything you need to plug or mention before we let you go?

20m 59s Stephen Chang: I write children’s books. Speaking of basketball, it’s a basketball children’s book that I even have a website. It’s called the Bballbook.com; it’s about things I learned playing basketball told from the perspective of a basketball. I’m very proud of it. And I’ve been working on some other children’s books. You know when I’m not getting killed by infected or being an evil villain, I like to write children’s books.
