The Speculation About Avengers 4’s Real Title Rages On

Who among The Mandalorian’s list of directors could direct which episodes? Vincent D’Onofrio once again stokes the flames of his desire to bring Wilson Fisk to the Marvel movies. Get your first look at the Pet Sematary remake. Plus, what’s to come on the CW’s returning genre shows. Spoilers, assemble!

Avengers 4

Just what we’ll actually be calling Avengers 4 that isn’t “Avengers 4” has been the source of much debate since, well, before Infinity War came out. But MCU Cosmic now cites sources alleging that it will be called Avengers Annihilation — a parallel to Avengers Assemble, the comic book rallying cry of the team (and also the UK-only title of the first Avengers film). Take it with a pinch of salt, of course!


Gretel & Hansel

It’s Sophia Lillis has been cast as Gretel in a new take on the Grimms’ fairy tale from director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House). According to THR, “the story is described as being set a long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside and focuses on a young girl who leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil”.


Spider-Man: Far From Home

Vincent D’Onofrio isn’t ruling out an appearance from the Kingpin in a future Spider-Man movie… but this is presumably just him once again saying he’d be up for it, rather than any actual concrete indication that he’s in the film.

Recursion

Shonda Rhimes is teaming with Matt Reeves on a new sci-fi series for Netflix that sounds an awful lot like an inverted take on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. According to a press release, the series “explores what happens when a brilliant female scientist invents a powerful technology that allows people not just to reactivate their most visceral memories, but to reinvent them entirely”.

Arrow

Realising that she can no longer rely on her old team or old methods, a clear-eyed Felicity resolves to find a new way to go after Diaz.
