Wednesday, 24 July 2019 Daily Tribune SPOTLIGHT Good stuff coming C31 CELLULOID SURFER Kathleen Llemit ACROSS 1 Downy 5 “Forget” a letter 10 Ms. Fawcett 12 Loved madly 13 Mechanic’s concern 14 Business class 15 Tableland 16 Strong alkali 18 Fr. holy woman 19 Matured, as fruit 23 Versatile vehicle 26 Morning moisture 27 Modicum 30 Dad 32 Set on fire 34 “— vincit amor” 35 Auto trim 36 Scruggs of Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige announced its biggest and, perhaps, the most-awaited project in the next phase When the beloved Tony Stark died in Avengers: Endgame, most Marvel fans were devastated. Robert Downey Jr. a.k.a Tony Stark/Iron Man carried the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for more than a decade since his debut in 2008. He was a character that was hard to let go of. His demise made a lot of fans cry, no doubt. As one of MCU’s viewers since the first Iron Man movie in 2008, I was not surprised by his departure. I knew it was bound to happen because it had been planned all along as part of MCU’s phases. It was hard to see him go, but off he and, and another beloved character, Captain America, went. Equal to the sadness is the expectation of the transition to Phase 4 and Marvel spilled several good news AND she keeps on portraying powerful women. Angelina Jolie will play Thena in “The Eternals,” while Tom Hiddleston (middle) gets his own series. The beloved fanged hero, Blade, is reincarnated in the person of Oscar winning actor Mahershala Ali.

As I digested these revelations, I was torn between happiness and questions. Of course, I should start with the goodies. Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige announced its biggest and, perhaps, the most-awaited project in the next phase. Eternals is hitting the big screen on 6 November 2020. As a fan of ensemble movie more than a hero’s origin story (save for, of course, all three Iron Man movies), The Eternals easily made me giggle just thinking about a group of superhumans in a movie. I should stop here lest I spoil its premise. But the casting brings me all sorts of giggly feelings with Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek in one squad. They’re among the actresses I liked since Lara Croft movies (with Angelina in 2001 and 2003) and Fools Rush In (Hayek’s movie with Matthew Perry). Another happy moment is for Don Lee who forms the Eternals squad as Gilgamesh. In this part of the world, he is known as Ma Dong-seok, the muscled softie in Train to Busan and one of the gods in the movie series Along With The Gods. It’s all been teasing and asking about Natalie Portman since Thor: Dark World. She was not in Ragnarok and just a picture of hers as Jane Foster was seen in Endgame. But on 5 November 2021, she gets to wield Mjolnir as Mighty Thor in the Taika Waititi flick, Thor: Love and Thunder. Among the surprises (or not) is Black Widow’s movie. Like, finally it’s happening for ScarJo (Scarlet Johansson) to have her origin story on the big screen by 1 May 2020. So we would hardly miss the lone kick-ass female in the “original” Avenger’s squad. Best of all, Rachel Weisz is onboard this movie, another woman I have loved since The Mummy movies were shown in early 2000s.

Answer for yesterday’s puzzle KEVIN Feige looks on as Taika Waititi passes on Mjolnir to Natalie Portman aka Jane Foster with Chris Hemsworth aka Thor beside her. his movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is connected to the Disney+ series WandaVision (yup, the power couple, but more of this later). Among all these big screen titles that I share equal can’t-wait-moment with Eternals is the resurrection of Blade. I was sold on Wesley Snipes as Blade in late 1990s, which spawned three movies, and I can’t wait to see Mahershala Ali do his own intepretation of the fanged hero. To put icing on the cake, really, is to have Snipes appear in this flick, in whichever role, hopefully a good one. These are some of the big screen releases in Phase 4. Now, we go to the small screen debuts of our favorite Marvel heroes through Disney+, an affiliate video-on demand service set to premiere in the United States in November. As mentioned earlier, the next Doctor Strange flick is connected to the series WandaVision¸ starring who else but the lovers Wanda Maximoff and Jarvis-turned-Vision. And of course, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will reprise their roles in the original series premiering in 2021. Similarly getting their small screen debuts are the tandem of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier in 2020; Hawkeye in 2021 and, our dear Loki, also in 2021. These are all undoubtedly good news but I just can’t help but wonder why Hawkeye, among all the “original” Avengers, does not get a big-screen solo movie. These are all undoubtedly good news but I just can’t help but wonder why Hawkeye, among all the “original” Avengers, does not get a big-screen solo movie. It’s as if he was just playing tag all along when, in fact, his skills and his very human nature, make him even more remarkable than his demi-god/semi-robot/ genetically altered friends. No hate, I love all the other Avengers, but I just feel that Hawkeye got the shortest end of the stick. It’s a different case for Loki, though. He’s like a drug that is addicting that you just can’t get enough of. He’s so full of complexities and character that no matter how many times he’s wreaked havoc in MCU, you’d still want to see him star in his own show, which all of us are getting in two years’ time. All thanks in part to the actor, Tom Hiddleston, who, like RDJ is to Tony Stark, is perfectly Loki. No other actor could have played the part perfectly than Tom. So much for these goodies that I can’t help but reconsider Disney+ when the service will be made available in the country, hopefully not later than late this year. “TRAIN to Busan” actor Lee Dong-seuk is set to play Gilgamesh in “The Eternals.” “MUSIC on the Rocks” is a show that is all about faith, hope and love.
