It may be January, but Amazon already has silly plans for a Chris Evans /Dwayne Johnson holiday movie. Chukwudi Iwuji gives a tease for the movie. There are 3 characters. There are a few more snippets of The Batman footage. To me!

Red One

Chris Evans will be starring in Red One, a four-quadrant action-adventure comedy from Amazon Studios.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Peacemaker's Chukwudi Iwuji teased his currently undisclosed character in the upcoming movie. 3 is extremely powerful.

Powerful. (Laughs.) Extremely powerful. Complex. James and I were talking about it, but he’s certainly one of, if not the most complex characters we’ve seen in the freaking Marvel universe. So he’s deeply complex and deeply powerful, and I hope intriguing. I hope I bring that to it. (Laughs.)

Thor: Love and Thunder

In a recent interview with The Wrap, Tessa Thompson talked about the new movie, focusing on romance.

It’s totally exciting. We talk so much about representation and obviously, in terms of the LGBTQIA community, there’s still so much work to be done. But if you look at the comics in the canon, there are so many queer characters! It’s hard because Taika [Waititi] and I would’ve even liked to go further, but in the context of the movies, there’s only so much we can do. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of time invested in love stories in Marvel movies in general. I think that will be a little different on the new Thor, which is exciting. And getting to play a character that historically is not written for somebody that looks like me, all of that felt exciting.

Moon Knight

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, it was revealed that he took inspiration from Carl Jung and David Koresh for his portrayal of the villainous Arthur Harrow.

I was always a little apprehensive; there’s a certain kind of actor that really excels in that universe, and I’m still not sure I’m one of them. The uber-rich villain mastermind isn’t interesting to me. I love the ones who believe that they’re a good person and that’s why they have to kill you. That I find really terrifying.
