Hawkeye Trailer Finally Brings Captain America Musical to the Stage

New DVD release, , , , , ,
He throws a mighty shield, but can Captain America carry a showtune? In Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye miniseries, we’re about to find out. As revealed in our first official footage of the Jeremy Renner spinoff TV show, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still mourning the absence (and death?) of Steve Rogers… and capitalizing on it with some terrific kick-turns! Indeed, Captain America: The Musical is now officially canon, albeit they refer to it as Rogers in the MCU. Apparently the hottest ticket on Broadway, the new show is at the center of the Hawkeye trailer, which begins with Clint Barton (Renner)…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Considered More Captain America Candidates

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. From the moment that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier first premiered, it wasn’t really much of a spoiler to say that we all knew that the show would end — one way or another — with Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) picking up the shield for real and embracing the identity of Captain America. But according to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier head writer Malcolm Spellman, the path to that singular image of Sam in his new Wakandan-built outfit and wings, shield on his arm, might have…

How Captain America 4 Will Follow The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Talk about timing! With the conclusion of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+, Marvel wasted no time in revealing the next project that will spotlight Anthony Mackie’s newly minted Captain America. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman is co-writing a currently-untitled Captain America 4 with another FWS alum, Dalan Musson. There’s no director attached, and no other details available just yet, but it does raise some interesting possibilities right out of the gate. For starters, this probably…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 6 Marvel, Captain America, MCU Easter Eggs

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 6 spoilers and potential spoilers for the wider MCU. Well, it’s finally here. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 6 was an action-packed, but rather messy season finale for the show. Hopefully it isn’t a series finale, and we’ll see it continue in season 2 as Captain America and the Winter Soldier, but that’s an argument for another time. For now, we’re here (as usual) to dig in to all the Marvel Comics and MCU references the show gave us this episode. We’ll be honest, it was relatively light…

Why Star Trek Needs More Characters Like Captain Lorca

New DVD release, , ,
When Star Trek: Discovery first began, the show was remarkable in that, for the first time in franchise history, its primary protagonist wasn’t a starship captain. Your mileage may vary when it comes to how you feel the show has handled Michael Burnham’s journey over the course of its three seasons to date, but there’s no question that she, rather than the person at the eponymous ship’s helm, was always meant to be Discovery’s lead. As a result, the show had a unique opportunity in its first season to explore a very different kind of captain with a very different…

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Becomes the Captain America: Civil War Sequel We Needed

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 3 spoilers. The reason Marvel’s Disney+ shows work as a concept is because the movies gave us plenty of interesting characters who sadly didn’t receive enough of a spotlight. The relationship between Wanda Maximoff and Vision only got a few minutes across several movies. The Falcon had his moments, but he was always portrayed as more of an extension of Captain America and didn’t really have a lot of time to explore his life or character. Bucky Barnes was a major part of the Captain America trilogy, but the emphasis…

Was Captain America: Super Soldier Almost Part of the MCU Canon?

New DVD release, , , , ,
If you’re anything like me, you probably haven’t thought about 2011’s Captain America: Super Soldier in years (if you remember the game at all). While a decent enough action game in its own right, Super Soldier is perhaps best remembered as a remnant of a very brief time when MCU films were adapted into video games that were often released the same week as the movies. However, I recently heard an interesting rumor that I haven’t been able to shake. That rumor suggests that Super Soldier isn’t just based on an MCU film but at one point was meant to…

Superman & Lois: The Mystery of Captain Luthor and 7734

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers. Superman & Lois episode 2 gave us a lot more information on our potential bad guy, and it’s quite a doozy. Superman’s Iron Man-esque foe isn’t Lex Luthor, he’s a Luthor from a parallel Earth, by implication stranded on this one by the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths. And while Superman & Lois draws a lot from the comics, is this Captain Luthor like another big multiversal Luthor we know from DC Comics as well? Or is he someone entirely different?  The evidence right now points to someone new. Or at…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Doesn’t Need Captain Kirk

New DVD release, , ,
By all accounts, the upcoming series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds intends to be a return to the first principles of the Star Trek franchise: Hope, optimism, and a sense of collective possibility. From its supposedly more episodic narrative style and sunnier overall outlook to the servant-hearted captain at its helm, these particular voyages of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise will feel quite a bit different than their recent small-screen predecessors. While shows like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard have pushed the franchise forward with darker themes that wrestle with the mental and emotional cost of a life spent…

How Star Trek: Discovery Bungled Michael Burnham’s Path to Captain

New DVD release, , , ,
This Star Trek: Discovery feature contains spoilers for Season 3.  Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 was surprising in many ways. The latest season literally went where no installment of the Star Trek franchise had gone before, flying into an unknown time period that exists so far outside established canon that the series was basically free to do whatever it wanted. And, for the most part, it did. Break up the Federation as we once understood it? Check. Show us a broken Starfleet that was essentially in hiding, hanging on to a dream of past glory? Also, check. Confirm the eventual…

Does a Chris Evans Captain America Return Undermine the Avengers: Endgame Finale?

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and several Marvel Comics storylines. Few big screen superheroes ever get perfect endings. Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne got one in The Dark Knight Rises, albeit one fans weren’t particularly pleased with. Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark went out in heroic fashion during Avengers: Endgame, but it was bittersweet and at the cost of his life. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine got a haunting sendoff in Logan. And Chris Evans, the most successful actor to bring Steve Rogers to life on screen, also got a perfect moment to put an end to Captain America’s story, traveling…

Marvel’s What If? Trailer Explores Peggy Carter as Captain Britain, Black Panther, and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Usually overshadowed by its live-action brethren, Marvel’s What If? was one of the earliest Disney+ series to be announced. Information on it has been scarce for the most part. We knew it was animated. Two of the plot concepts were made public (Agent Carter receiving the super soldier serum and T’Challa becoming Star-Lord). Each season would feature 10 episodes. Nearly the entire cast of the various Marvel movies would reprise their roles in the form of voice acting. But other than that? Not much. Now, along with the utter hailstorm of Disney/Marvel news from Thursday, we have a real deal…

Ranking Star Trek Captain Catchphrases

New DVD release, ,
In a side plot that could have easily cropped-up in Lower Decks, Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery has created its biggest quandary yet: What will Saru say when he wants to give a snappy order? In “Sanctuary,” he and Tilly surreptitiously discuss “the other matter” of figuring out what he should say whenever it’s time to seem like a cool and in control Starfleet captain. This results in Saru hilariously trying to re-appropriate Captain Pike’s “Hit it,” followed by a fairly lukewarm reception of “Execute!” But what is the best Star Trek Captain catchphrase? And when did this all start? In…

Avengers: Endgame Deepfake Casts Nicolas Cage as Captain America

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Hello, and welcome to another 5-second distraction from the madness of 2020 ‘what if?’ moment of retrospection here at Den of Geek, where we occasionally take a look at the deepfakes of YouTube and Reddit and then try not to judge their quality too severely. Instead, we tend to ponder how they make us feel on an existential level, and a deepfake starring Mr. Nicolas Cage as Captain America certainly has us reflecting on Marvel’s unseen multiverse, and what could have been. This isn’t the best deepfake we’ve seen so far this year (that would probably be this one) and…

Avengers Deepfake Casts John Krasinski as Captain America

New DVD release, , , , ,
John Krasinski and his wife Emily Blunt both lost out on major Avengers roles back when the MCU was in its infancy. Blunt was originally Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau’s pick for the part of Black Widow, before she had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts and Scarlett Johansson ended up snatching it from her grasp, and Marvel was keen to compare Krasinski with its other Captain America: The First Avenger choice, Chris Evans, before making a firm casting decision for Steve Rogers. After seeing Krasinski audition, Evans came out on top, and the rest was history, but…

Captain Marvel 2: Candyman’s Nia DaCosta to Direct

New DVD release, , , ,
For the first time since 2010, it’s been over a year since the world has seen a Marvel Studios film. Still, even in the coronavirus pandemic-induced offseason, the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to make headlines.  Deadline reports that Marvel has tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to helm the heavily anticipated Captain Marvel sequel. The second Captain Marvel film does not currently have a name but is being targeted for a July 8, 2022 release date. That could change should Disney need to adjust the MCU schedule further due to virus lockdowns.  According to Deadline, Marvel cast a wide net for…

Captain America And Other Avengers Honor Real-Life Hero

New DVD release, , , ,
Captain America — otherwise known as Chris Evans — and other members of the Avengers, along with other actors who have spent time in the superhero genre, took time out this week to pay tribute to a real-life hero. That hero is six-year-old Bridger Walker of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and according to an Instagram post by his aunt (via Deadline), little Bridger — who’s apparently a huge Cap fan — saved his four-year-old sister’s life on July 9 when he put himself between her and a charging dog. Bridger sustained several bites on his face and head before he got himself…

Jude Law Eyed to Play Captain Hook in Peter Pan Live-Action Disney Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Jude Law appears ready to wear one of the most iconic pirate hook hands in history, with Disney now in talks with the actor to play the role of Captain Hook in a live-action Peter Pan reboot. Peter Pan & Wendy, Disney’s gestating big screen reimagining of its classic 1953 animated Peter Pan feature adaptation, has Law in talks to play the J.M.

In an interview with Inverse, Star Wars book writer Delilah Dawson talks about her Snoke theory, Captain Phasma, and more. “Delilah Dawson may just have one of the coolest job on the planet as the writer of several Star Wars novels, including the NYT bestseller Star Wars: Phasma and her latest work, Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire (out in paperback on June 30).

Why Captain America Couldn’t Lift Thor’s Hammer in Avengers: Age of Ultron

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains Avengers: Endgame spoilers. But you’ve seen it. Everyone saw it. There’s no shortage of memorable moments in Avengers: Endgame, but a guaranteed audience favorite was the moment Captain America picks up Thor’s hammer and uses it to beat the absolute purple crap out of Thanos. Why is this such a big deal? Well, for starters, the hammer in question, Mjolnir, can only be wielded by those who are considered “worthy,” a little mystical insurance policy put on it by Thor’s dad, Odin. It’s pretty cool to see the Avenger who is the purest of heart officially deemed…
