These Moon Knight POPVinyl Are Fantastic

All images: Funko

Funko has created a fantastic collection of POPVinyl figures for Marvel's Moon Knight. There are five regular figures, three glow-in-the-dark exclusive figures, and a keychain. So far, there's no figure of Steven (or should it be Marc?) but that may change.

Currently, the figures include: Khonshu, who looks delightfully eerie, and Layla El-Faouly, who is holding the scarab compass.

A glow-in-the-dark Khonshu is a BoxLunch exclusive. 

Mr Knight is ready to fight and Arthur Harrow holds the Staff of Ammit.

A glow-in-the-dark Mr Knight is a Walmart exclusive. 

Moon Knight is jumping into the fray in both a POPVinyl figure and a mini POP keychain. 

 A glow-in-the-dark Moon Knight is a Hot Topic exclusive. 

Most of these POPVinyl figures are currently available for pre-order from some retailers, but they aren't expected to arrive until sometime in August or September.

To Infinity... And Beyond!

All images: Pixar

The second trailer for Lightyear has been revealed and it looks like one amazing, and very unexpected, adventure.

I can't wait!

Here's the official synopsis from Pixar:

The definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, “Lightyear” follows the legendary Space Ranger after he’s marooned on a hostile planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth alongside his commander and their crew. As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he’s joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox. Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda. A new poster and images are also available. 

The film features the voices of Chris Evans as accomplished Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, Uzo Aduba as his commander and best friend Alisha Hawthorne and Peter Sohn as Sox. Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi and Dale Soules lend their voices to the Junior Zap Patrol’s Izzy Hawthorne, Mo Morrison and Darby Steel, respectively, and James Brolin can be heard as the enigmatic Zurg. The voice cast also includes Mary McDonald-Lewis as onboard computer I.V.A.N., Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Commander Burnside, Efren Ramirez as Airman Diaz, and Keira Hairston as Young Izzy.

Lightyear arrives in theaters on June 17th.

The Thor: Love and Thunder Trailer Has Arrived!

All images: Marvel

After what seems like an unusually long wait, Marvel has finally released the first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. From his wardrobe, I'd say Thor has been spending too much time with Peter Quill and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel:

The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced — a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi), and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who — to Thor’s surprise — inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. 

Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late.

Thor: Love and Thunder arrives in theaters on July 8th.

Jurassic World Dominion: Legacy Featurette

Universal

I can't believe that the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World saga is finally coming to an end. It has been nearly 30 years since the first film arrived in theaters to astound us with the possibilities of bringing dinosaurs back from extinction. I remember watching that movie and being completely blown away by how amazing and lifelike the dinosaurs appeared. It is still one of my favorite films.

Jurassic World Dominion arrives in theaters on June 10th.

Who Are Steven Grant and Marc Spector?

Marvel

So far, Marvel's Moon Knight is most fascinating. There are two personas and two avatars, all contained within the body of one man. But who are Steven Grant and Marc Spector? Here's the Marvel 101 breakdown of each.

First up, Steven Grant, the mild-mannered gift-shop employee. 

And then, Marc Spector, an American mercenary.

The first three episodes of Marvel's Moon Knight are available on DisneyPlus. Additional episodes will debut each Wednesday.

Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness looks so dark and intriguing. Catch a glimpse of the madness with this behind the scenes clip of the cast.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is definitely headed for the dark side. These six new character posters seem to reflect that.

Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch

Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez

Benedict Wong as Wong

Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer

Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo

Little Sheep of Horrors

I needed a good laugh today, and few things make me laugh more than the ridiculous antics of Shaun the Sheep. The first episode, "Little Sheep of Horrors", is especially funny.

I love that the werewolf movie is called simply "Aroooo". Hilarious!
