Shang-Chi Director Teases Why Doctor Strange Isn’t Involved
On paper, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings lends itself perfectly to a cameo appearance by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. The titular weapon set to be wielded by Tony Leung’s Mandarin is mystical in nature, and seems like it would be exactly the sort of thing to draw the attention of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Sorcerer Supreme.
Instead, it’s his close cohort Wong that provides some connective tissue to the franchise at large, and the chances are very likely that it may have something to do with Spider-Man: No Way Home. Strange’s involvement in Tom Holland’s third solo outing is already coming under scrutiny after the footage showed him behaving very much out of character, with the old Mephisto speculation being dusted off once more.
While that’s hardly a guarantee we’re actually seeing Marvel Comics’ version of the devil make his debut at long last, it could at least explain why Wong gets involved in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings at the expense of the Master of the Mystic Arts. In a new interview, director Destin Daniel Cretton teased that there’s a reason why Dr. Strange isn’t part of the upcoming martial arts fantasy blockbuster, but he obviously wouldn’t be drawn on specifics.
“I will respond by saying you’re not alone in asking that question and there is a very clear answer to that question. All of those types of, ‘Where people are in the universe at this particular moment’, there are clear reasons why Doctor Strange is not there. I wish we could’ve put Doctor Strange in our movie. But there are very clear reasons why the characters who showed up could show up very briefly, there’s also a very clear reason why they’re not physically in the room. But, all of that is a big conversation with Kevin Feige and the producers and directors who are working on other things.”

Of course, we’ll have a much better idea of what’s been keeping Doctor Strange so occupied when Spider-Man: No Way Home lands in December, but Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is also set to fill in a few of those narrative gaps. Everything in the MCU is connected somehow at the end of the day, but a new mystical element being introduced is sure to tie to the Sanctum Santorum in some fashion.

A Disastrous Hugh Jackman Bomb Is A Hit On Streaming
Hugh Jackman was forced to apologize for breaking the internet after posting a pair of cryptic images that had fans believing a Wolverine comeback was imminent, and while a lot of folks are never going to give up on the idea, the actor is clearly at peace with his decision to retire the claws following 2017’s Logan.
The 52 year-old has been taking it relatively easy since then, and since the release of The Greatest Showman almost four years ago he’s been maintaining a fairly low profile. Archival appearances in Deadpool 2 and The New Mutants, a voice role in Missing Link, an unseen cameo in Free Guy and HBO TV movie Bad Education have kept him busy enough, with political drama The Front Runner his only major theatrical release since December 2017.
However, Jackman’s full-blown return to leading man status in Warner Bros.’ Reminiscence couldn’t have gone much worse. The sci-fi mystery thriller reportedly needed to earn $110 million at the box office just to break even, and it debuted last Friday with a paltry $2 million, where it gained the unwanted distinction of scoring the worst opening weekend in history for a feature debuting in over 3000 theaters.
Written and directed by Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy, the plot follows an ex-solider in post-apocalyptic Miami who operates a business that lets clients relive memories from their past, before a mysterious woman drags him deep into a conspiracy with potentially deadly implications. It’s a solid concept in practice, but the execution has hardly been universally lauded, with Reminiscence holding a Rotten Tomatoes score of 36%. It may have tanked horribly in theaters, but at least WB’s latest hybrid can say that it’s the number one title on HBO Max.

Jake Gyllenhaal To Produce And Star In New Comic Book Movie
Jake Gyllenhaal may have sworn off blockbusters for close to a decade after his experience headlining Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2010, a movie that earned $336 million at the box office to become the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever at the time but still lost money due to a $200 million budget, but he’s slowly edging his way back into the big budget realm.
Having ended his self-imposed exile from studio tent-poles with a well-received turn as Mysterio in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, the 40 year-old recently wrapped Michael Bay’s high concept action thriller Ambulance, which is penciled in to hit theaters next February.
The Academy Award nominee has now dived right back into the comic book genre after closing a deal to take top billing and produce Oblivion Song, based on the graphic novel series by Lorenzo De Felici and The Walking Dead‘s Robert Kirkman. The project was first announced to be in development two years ago, but suffice to say it’s just taken a massive step forward.
Oblivion Song follows Nathan Cole, a man who makes daily trips to an apocalyptic hellscape known as Oblivion, a part of Philadelphia that was lost to a cataclysmic event a decade previously, along with 300,000 residents. Universal has already teased plans for a franchise, and with seven collected editions to mine for inspiration, we could be looking at Gyllenhaal’s first-ever multi-film role should the opener hit big whenever it arrives in theaters.

Dwayne Johnson Reportedly Wants Black Adam Cameos Across The DCEU
Looking at the upcoming slate of DCEU projects, it’s hard to try and get a reading on how it all fits together, if it even does at all. J.K. Simmons entering talks to return as Commissioner Gordon in Batgirl would indicate that it occupies the same narrative space as The Flash, given that the latter features SnyderVerse alumni Ezra Miller and Ben Affleck, both of whom interacted with Simmons in Justice League.
HBO Max’s Black Canary spinoff will obviously be connected to Birds of Prey, which in itself was an offshoot from David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, but James Gunn’s recent R-rated romp wasn’t tied to either of those aforementioned titles. It’s a canonical nightmare, but we can at least be safe in the knowledge that Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam will exist in the same pocket of the universe as the Shazam! franchise.
For one thing, the actor and producer’s Seven Bucks banner are involved in both properties behind the camera, while the two comic book characters are arch-nemeses on the page, and Zachary Levi has barely able been able to contain his excitement at the possibility of throwing down with The Rock once all of the pieces have been put into place.
However, we’re now hearing from our sources – the same ones who told us Ben Affleck would be returning as Batman in The Flash long before it was confirmed – that Johnson is keen to ensure that the Dirty Harry of superheroes makes his presence felt all across the DCEU, not just the Black Adam and Shazam! side of things.
Of course, a lot of that will be dependent on whether or not Black Adam and the DCEU as a whole adopt a more connective approach or continue to throw projects into development without looking at the big picture, but a star as big as Johnson typically tends to get what he wants in the long run.
