The MCU
Kat Dennings said she would “always say yes” to playing Darcy Lewis in future MCU projects during a recent interview with Collider.
That is very true. That’s not the case. I deprive myself of that. I told my husband (Andrew WK) the other day that I think the coolest thing that ever happened in my entire career was when I became Darcy’s LEGO. They’re called LEGO Minimates, and they’re in Darcy. I can’t believe I’m a LEGO. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me, besides meeting my husband. It’s the best thing, ever. I can’t believe that this character has been this thing that has been through so many different things. It’s one of those lucky draw things because that role was originally supposed to be an assistant who was in a few scenes in Thor. And for whatever reason, they expanded and expanded and continued to use me. Every time I said, “I can’t believe they want me to come back.” This is the best!” So, every time he asks me, I will always say yes, no matter what. I still can’t believe it.
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse
In a recent interview with Variety, Brian Tyree Henry promised that “there won’t be a dry eye in the house” there Beyond the Spider-Verse you finally see release.
No, look, it takes time, but we have to make you wait a little longer. You know what I mean? But it is coming. It’s coming. There won’t be a dry eye in the house. I’ll tell you that. I wish you luck. They won’t wrap up in a nice little bow what things are doing.
Violent Night 2

The first apparently lived in the area Die Hard space. We can’t tease too much, except that we try to bring in a little Western influence.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4
In an interview with Dexerto, Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler expressed that he was “very aware” of the popularity of Big the Cat and “what it could mean for our movie landscape” going forward.
I think everyone always makes jokes about Big the Cat, so I can’t say when or where or how, but we are very aware of his popularity and what that might mean for our movie scene. He’s a fan favorite, definitely one of my favorites, but who knows when he’ll find his way to the big screen.
