The director behind Bao is working on a new feature at Pixar. King of the Monsters is sneakily tying itself into Godzilla’s movie past. The Russos shoot down yet another Avengers 4 theory. Plus, Katherine McNamara makes her Arrow debut, and more pictures from the Elseworlds crossover. To me, my Spoilers!
Kingsman Prequel
Collider reports both Daniel Brühl and Charles Dance have officially joined the cast of the upcoming Kingsman prequel in undisclosed roles, while Rhys Ifans is currently in talks to play “a dangerous and manipulative Russian mystic.” The film, a prequel, is purportedly set during the First World War, and wants to delve into the origins of the Kingsman organisation.
Untitled Pixar Movie
Speaking with Deadline, Bao director Domee Shi revealed she’s now developing her feature debut at Pixar.
We’re just developing the story for it right now. It’s super early on, but I’m really excited to play in this new 90-minute film format.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Screen Rant notes a pair of recent Tweets from Monarch Sciences reference (if not retroactively canonise) two earlier Toho movies, 1973’s Tidal Wave and 1991’s Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.

The Russo’s were asked about a fan theory that Bruce Banner is really Loki in disguise. They answered. That “Loki is dead.”
