In James Gunn's 2017 sci-fi film "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," the would-be superhero Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), who insists that others call him Star-Lord, learned the shocking truth about his lineage. Peter previously assumed he was a mere human, abducted from Earth by aliens when he was 12. Peter only kept memories of Earth from what it looked like in the 1980s when he was taken. He listened to a vintage Earth Walkman, and was closely familiar with the pop culture of the time. The shock came when Peter finally met his actual biological father, a charming, powerful space deity called Ego (Kurt Russell).
At first, Peter was thrilled to learn that he was half space deity, and came to love his new dad, especially when they played catch and talked about their respective lives. Peter became disturbed, however, when he learned Ego's true M.O. for appearing in his life.

Pom Klementieff, who played Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 as well as the Holiday Special, has previously admitted to having discussions with James Gunn about potentially joining the Dcu, and we may now know which character she's in talks to play.
During San Antonio's Superhero Comic Con back in June, Klementieff was asked about potentially joining her Gotg director in the rebooted DC Universe, and if they had discussed any specific characters.
"Do you really think I'm going to answer this question? I just want to keep working with James, so we're going to keep trying to find ways to do that," she responded. "Yes, we've been talking about one specific character, but I can't talk about that right now."
According to Mttsh, that character is Helena Bertinelli, aka the Huntress - although the scooper does note that other roles have also been discussed.

It wasn’t the action that piqued Dave Bautista’s interest in The Killer’s Game; it was the chance to play a proper romantic lead for the very first time. Like a lot of actors, Bautista is most intrigued by the roles that frighten him, and so the chance to play lovestruck assassin Joe Flood was something he’d been committed to intermittently since 2019. Based on The Killer’s Game novel by Jay Bonansinga, Flood is diagnosed with a neurodegenerative brain condition that leaves him with only months to live, so he takes out a contract on his own life so that the love of his life, Maize (Sofia Boutella), can collect his life insurance policy. The rub is that he was misdiagnosed by three different labs and it’s too late to cancel said contract.

When it came out, Marvel‘s Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the quirkier superhero movies on the market. Director James Gunn said he had to include a 1970s song in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 because he loved how weird it was. In addition, he initially wasn’t sure if the track in question was an authentic 1970s track or a modern song that was meant to sound retro.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ director James Gunn thought this song might be a trick
The first Guardians of the Galaxy brought a number of late 1960s and 1970s radio staples back to the limelight, including Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling,” The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back,” and Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky.” During a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn discussed his process of choosing songs for Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2. “One of...

If you put a classic rock song in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, Gen Z will learn it backward and forward. Shockingly, a classic rock band didn’t want one of their hits to be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Here’s a look at what changed that.
The director of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ removed a classic rock song from it
James Gunn is the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The first film included 1970s radio staples like Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love,” Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” and Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling.” During a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn revealed that the film was initially going to use a song by the Electric Light Orchestra in the first Guardians of the Galaxy but he cut it.

It began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” a film that introduced the world to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark with the hint that he could be part of something greater. Over 30 films later, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still being told, albeit with various tributaries and detours that introduce new characters and new worlds that may or may not cross paths one day. Each film in the MCU stands on its own to some degree, but like building blocks, they all connect as part of one interconnected universe. And in that way, watching the Marvel movies in order tells one grand story.
There are a couple of different ways to watch the Marvel movies in order, but below we run down how to watch the MCU in chronological and release date order. Indeed, some films like “Captain Marvel” and “Captain America: The First Avenger” are full-on prequels...

What would Marvel movies be without gratuitous pop songs? Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to tug on the heartstrings. Here’s a look at why a member of the band disagreed with some of the film’s dialog.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ claims ‘Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)’ might be the best song
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 includes a lot of classic songs, including George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord,” the Electric Light Orchestra’s “Mr. Blue Sky,” and Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” However, the character Ego says that Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” might be the finest musical composition in the history of Earth.
During a 2017 interview with the New York Post, Looking Glass singer Elliot Lurie dismissed the idea that Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” was the best song ever.

Tony McFarr, a stuntman best known as the double for actor Chris Pratt in blockbusters like Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, died as the result of an irregular heartbeat due to an issue with his heart valves, the Orange County Florida Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to Deadline.
Ruling the death accidental, the Me’s Office says McFarr died of probable cardiac dysrhythmia due to mitral valve insufficiency. Contributing factors include alcohol poisoning and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, known as Copd, a common lung condition that causes constriction of the airways and difficulty in breathing.

Marvel has been quite strict when it comes to gatekeeping their exclusive content before its release. But actors like Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo have made this challenging by accidentally spilling the beans on several occasions. This has forced the studio to take extreme measures to secure its secrets.

Tom Holland may have earned his title as Marvel's least tight-lipped star, but the spoiler-happy "Spider-Man" actor is far from the only cast member in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have let something slip over the years. Mark Ruffalo accidentally livestreamed the opening scenes of "Thor: Ragnarok" to Instagram at its world premiere, Gwyneth Paltrow told a magazine that Tony and Pepper would be married with a kid ahead of "Avengers: Endgame," and Owen Wilson once received a mysterious text message notifying him he'd crossed a line when sharing "Loki" scoops with the press.
Despite his enduring star power, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" actor Kurt Russell apparently wasn't immune from strict rules about sharing spoilers, but it didn't stop him from giving his family a sneak peek of the movie.

VFX Supervisor Christopher Townsend counts a long list of MCU movies among his credits, including Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Captain Marvel, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Loki season 2 marked his first foray into streaming and, as we're sure you'll agree, it's one of Marvel Studios' most visually stunning projects out of all those we've seen on the big and small screens.
Last week, we were fortunate enough to sit down with the Emmy nominee ("Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Season Or A Movie") to discuss his work on the God of Mischief's return to Disney+ last year.
He calls Loki "one of the highlights of my MCU career from a visual point of view" and we started at the end by asking about the already-iconic moment Loki transforms into God Loki.

Deadpool & Wolverine may be entering its third weekend in theaters but Marvel Studios' first R-Rated movie continues going from strength to strength at the worldwide box office.
After exceeding expectations yet again, Deadpool & Wolverine will cross $900 million worldwide later today. As of Tuesday, the threequel had earned $421 million in North America and $458.2 million overseas to bring its global cume to $879.2 million.
After 12 days in U.S. theaters, Deadpool & Wolverine has also topped the lifetime domestic grosses of MCU movies like Captain America: Civil War ($408.1 million), Iron Man 3 ($409 million), and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($411.3 million).
Ryan Reynolds has played coy about his MCU future but it's hard to imagine Disney allowing him or Hugh Jackman to escape its grasp after the massive success of this team-up. Yes, they'll be doing this until they're f***ing 90!
Current projections place Deadpool & Wolverine's eventual domestic haul somewhere around the $650 million mark.

After the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, the Guardians returned for a sequel only this time they were up against the father of their group’s leader. Kurt Russell joined Chris Pratt and the rest of the cast for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where he played the role of Ego the Living Planet aka Peter Quill’s father. The film ends with a face-off between the two which of course resulted in another win for Team Guardians.

7 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Roles In The MCU(Photo Credit –Instagram)
Late Saturday night, Robert Downey Jr. shocked fans when he took the stage at the San Diego Comic-Con and revealed he would be playing Doctor Doom. The Oppenheimer star, who played Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, for over a decade, will now portray the villainous Victor Von Doom, aka Doctor Doom, in the upcoming Avengers film.
After explosive reactions from fans worldwide, confusion set in. Fans were left wondering how a star ubiquitously known as the hero Iron Man in the MCU could now play a villain in the same franchise. While theories came flooding in, including speculation about Robert Downey Jr. Playing an evil Tony Stark variant (via Forbes), it should be noted that this is not the first time an actor has portrayed multiple roles in the MCU.

Star Trek’s Comic-Con panel Saturday revealed the trailer for the Discovery spinoff movie Section 31, with Michelle Yeoh reprising her role from that series.
For the non-Trekkies, Yeoh — before her Oscar win for Everything Everywhere All at Once — played two roles on Star Trek: Discovery, first as Captain Philippa Georgiou (who dies early on) and then, from the “mirror universe,” Emperor Philippa Georgiou.
It’s the latter, villainous character that Yeoh will be portraying in Section 31, the title of which references a secret division of Starfleet that deals with spycraft and covert operations.

The Oscar for Best Visual Effects is particularly tough to predict because of the complicated system by which the nominees are determined in three stages. The members of the executive committee of the branch cast preferential ballots to determine 20 films for further consideration. These are then winnowed down to 10 semi-finalists, which will be announced on December 17, 2024. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscars Best Visual Effects predictions.)
All members of the branch are invited to a virtual screening of excerpts from these 10 films in January at which potential nominees may discuss their work. Ballots are counted using a system of re-weighted range voting to determine the five nominees, which will be revealed on January 17. The entire voting membership of the academy will then vote for the winners, which will be revealed during the 97th Academy Awards ceremony on March 2.

Am 29. August kommt „Sleeping Dogs – Manche Lügen sterben nie“ in die deutschen Kinos. Jetzt hat Paramount einen ersten Trailer des Thrillers mit Russell Crowe veröffentlicht.
Genrekino kann es nicht genug geben. Deshalb ist „Sleeping Dogs – Manche Lügen sterben nie“ mit dem zweifachen Oscargewinner Russell Crowe in der Hauptrolle ein verlockendes Angebot. Der Thriller von Adam Cooper (Drehbuch „Die Bestimmung – Allegiant“, „Assassin’s Creed“, „Transporter Refueled“, „Exodus: Götter und Könige“), der zusammen mit Bill Collage auch das Drehbuch verfasste, erzählt von einem ehemaligen Ermittler der Mordkommission Roy Freeman (Russell Crowe), der unter Gedächtnisschwund leidet und sich gezwungen sieht, einen früheren Fall, an den er sich nicht erinnern kann, wieder aufzurollen, um einen brutalen Mord aufzuklären. Daraus ergibt sich ein Storygeflecht, das an in seiner Raffiniertheit an „Memento“ erinnert. Weitere Rollen spielen Karen Gillan („Guardians of the Galaxy“, „Avengers: Infinity War“, „Avengers: Endgame“, „Jumanji“-Filmreihe), Márton Csókás („The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro...

Industry heavyweights Atticus Ross (“Shogun”), Michael Minkler (“Masters of the Air”) and Robert Elswit (“Ripley”) were among those who led the Creative Art Emmy nominations on Wednesday morning.
FX’s “Shogun” dominated the Emmy nominations Wednesday morning, landing 25 nods. The drama series based on James Clavell’s epic novel landed musician and composer Ross a nomination for music composition for a series while costume designer Carlos Rosario was also nominated.
Speaking with Variety, Rosario explained how he created over 2300 designs for the series set in feudal Japan.
Elswit, who reunited with directed Steven Zaillian for Netflix’s “Ripley,” earned his first Primetime Emmy nod. The Oscar winning Dp (“There Will Be Blood”) sat down for Variety’s Inside the Frame series and explained how he wanted to get inside Tom Ripley’s (Andrew Scott) mind and give the series a painterly effect.

Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki has surely come a long way since her first comedy movie, A Few Best Men, in 2011. While the actress had been the talk of the town, she gained major fame when she took on the role of Princess Diana in the Netflix original political drama The Crown.

Soon enough, she caught the eye of James Gunn, who got her on board for his Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Vol. 3 (2023) as Ayesha, a high priestess of an alien race known as the Sovereign.
While this collaboration minted two successful movies, Debicki now reveals her entire experience working under the visionary filmmaker James Gunn.

Kurt Russell's most memorable character from his long history on the big screen, which stretches all the way back to when Walt Disney was still alive, is probably Snake Plissken from John Carpenter's classic sci-fi action movie "Escape from New York". But in an alternate universe, it could have been Han Solo oder Luke Skywalker.
A few years before Snake Plissken came along, Russell was one of many actors who auditioned for the "Star Wars" roles that would eventually make Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford huge stars. However, George Lucas couldn't figure out which role he like Russell in better. With another job opportunity on the table to star in a Western TV series called "The Quest," Russell opted not to wait around for Lucas to make up his mind, withdrew from consideration, and the rest is history. But it would seem "Star Wars" still lingers in the back of Kurt Russell's mind.

After taking on the MCU multiverse, Chris Pratt isn’t ruling out a jaunt to the Dcu.
Following his recent visit with director James Gunn on the set of Superman, the actor said “there’s always a chance” he could make the franchise leap, but he played coy when it came to naming a character he’d like to play.
“I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide,” Pratt told TMZ. “I’m not exactly sure. I’m truly not sure.
When asked flat-out if he’d join the competing franchise, Pratt didn’t hesitate in declaring, “Yes, of course”
“If it could fit into my schedule and it made sense, I would love it,” he continued. “Of course I love playing Star-Lord, and hopefully there’s a chance that can come back. I just feel so blessed to be able to do any of it,...

We're getting close to the release of "Deadpool & Wolverine," the only Marvel movie releasing in 2024, and arguably the biggest superhero film release since "Spider-Man: No Way Home." According to /Film's Ryan Scott, footage shown at this year's CinemaCon looked "funny, but not laugh-out-loud funny."
The film will see Deadpool taken out of the timeline by the Time Variance Authority and set out on a mission to change the history of the MCU. Along for the ride is one version of Hugh Jackman's Logan, aka Wolverine (just not necessarily one we've met before). One thing you should not expect this Wolverine to do is break the fourth wall like the Merc with a Mouth, because only Deadpool can break the fourth wall in a "Deadpool" movie.
Indeed, as director Shawn Levy told Vanity Fair, "There actually is a system here."
"There are rules. Very specific rules," Ryan Reynolds added.

The Marvel-to-dc pipeline appears to be heating up as Pom Klementieff teases her next super role.
While appearing at San Antonio’s Superhero Comic Con, the French actress revealed she’s “been talking” to DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn about joining the Dcu after first working together on the MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017).
When asked what character she’d like to play in the newly rebooted cinematic universe, Agents of Fandom reported that Klementieff responded, “Do you really think I’m going to answer this question?”
“I just want to keep working with James, so we’re going to keep trying to find ways to do that,” she added. “Yes, we’ve been talking about one specific character, but I can’t talk about that right now.”
She stars in the MCU as Mantis, having also appeared in Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).

Pom Klementieff first stole the show as Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Following a memorable supporting turn in Avengers: Infinity War, the actress was given more to sink her teeth into in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
The latter served as a potential end for Mantis' story, though the door was also left open for the hero to eventually show up elsewhere in the MCU.
Talking at San Antonio's Superhero Comic Con this weekend, Klementieff weighed in on whether we'll see her play the fan-favourite Guardian again. "I'm always open to it, I love the character," she revealed (via @AgentsFandom). "I'm sure the fans would love to see it, but I don't know. It depends on the project."
There may be a good reason for Klementieff's hesitance; elsewhere during this panel appearance, the Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning...

De-aging CGI has come a long way since the prologue to 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand" turned Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen into abominations out of a Robert Zemeckis motion-capture nightmare. 2023's "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," for example, allowed an octogenarian Harrison Ford to shed several decades in a generally convincing manner for its own extended opening flashback. Yet, no matter how much the tech improves, this approach is always going to be hampered by the fact that our brains intuitively seek our flaws once we know something has been digitally-rendered (hence the uncanny valley effect). Going to the opposite extreme isn't necessarily the solution either, as practical makeup and effects aren't without similar limitations.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for pushing its boundaries every now and then. Being under Disney’s umbrella can be quite complicated for this effect; however, they have managed to find loopholes to help them through it. Some experiments when it comes to storytelling and thematics haven’t really worked for the franchise in the past few years. However, their biggest risk with the age ratings ended up performing excellently well.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 was a masterpiece. The film established who the main character of the series was and did it in such a hard-hitting way that one could not help but leave the theaters in tears.
However, it is important to remember that the film took a lot of risks. While some were safer, some pushed the boundaries a little too much.

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the middle of Phase Five and release dates for Phase Six set, we’ll be hearing a lot of casting news as the latter takes form. One who has had an active interest in joining the MCU is Jon Hamm, who says he has had continued conversations with the studio to officially join in…and there is one character he refused to play for a rival.
As Jon Hamm told The Hollywood Reporter on his MCU dalliance, he was far from being positioned as a top dog but interest was coming from both parties. “It’s not like they were saying, “We want you to be Iron Man.” But there were a lot of conversations, and I’m still in those. I talk to the guys that run Marvel and DC. And I’m a comic book nerd. So, we’ll see. Even that...

Ryan Gosling has long been rumored to have secured a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though the Barbie star has often dismissed the rumors, he has expressed his desire to play Ghost Rider in the MCU. Nicolas Cage previously played the role in Sony’s Ghost Rider films. Now, the iconic character is expected to make his MCU debut.
While Gosling was long rumored to have been cast as Nova in the MCU, an industry insider recently revealed that Gosling has been cast as Ghost Rider in an upcoming Ghost Rider and The Midnight Sons film. Gosling is set to play the Johnny Blaze iteration of the character. However, fans are not that happy with the casting.

The DC Extended Universe might have failed at the box office, but the franchise has some of the most well-put-together action sequences for a slew of DC characters. Specifically, under the direct leadership of Zack Snyder, these characters have been able to go all out, without having to pull any punches.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice saw Batman have some great action set pieces, among which was his warehouse fight scene during the rescue of Martha Kent. Despite The Flash trying to top it with its chase scenes and fights, fans still believe that Batman’s fight in the warehouse remains one of the Dceu’s best fight scenes.

Younger audiences might know him as the dude who played Ego in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," but for everyone else, Kurt Russell is a Hollywood legend. That reputation was cemented in the 1980s, during which time Russell landed starring roles in such classics as "Escape From New York" (1981), "The Thing" (1982), and "Big Trouble in Little China." (1986). But he managed just as illustrious a run in the '90s — even if you only count his role in George P. Cosmatos' seminal 1993 Western "Tombstone."
While "Tombstone" isn't quite Kurt Russell's best film — it is surely among the finest entries in the man's filmography. Telling the story of Wyatt Earp (Russell) and the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral, "Tombstone" became an instant classic of the modern Western when it debuted, with Val Kilmer stealing the entire show as Doc Holliday. But Russell certainly delivered as the legendary lawman, and in the process,...

As work continues on DC Studios' Superman reboot, filmmaker James Gunn has shared another behind-the-scenes photo featuring the movie's cast...and a couple of friends.
In his Threads post, we see Mikaela Hoover (Cat Grant), Christopher McDonald (Ron Troupe), Wendell Pierce (Perry White), and Pruitt Taylor Vince (Pa Kent), along with some unnamed producers and Guardians of the Galaxy star Michael Rooker.
Gunn insists that his old pal only stopped by for a visit, though it was rumoured a while back that he's been cast as Lois Lane's father, General Sam Lane. While we don't necessarily expect Rooker to appear in Superman, it's not outside the realm of possibility despite Gunn's claims to the contrary.
The Superman writer and director also recently answered a fan question on Facebook about whether Jonathan Kent will be alive in the movie, bluntly responding with, "Well, I don't think I'd hire Pruitt to...

The history of film is teeming with alternate endings that never saw the light of day, whether it's because of production troubles, executive meddling, or writers and directors simply changing their minds. In franchise-oriented blockbuster cinema, the practice of studying, testing, and even shooting different endings is especially prevalent, as those movies have to weather a host of artistic and commercial ambitions that the ending must facilitate simultaneously.
Superhero movies, with their precise storytelling geometry and enormous cultural presence, are particularly susceptible to having their endings reconsidered or reshot. There is an enormous pressure for superhero movie endings to work, to resolve the plot efficiently, to send viewers home buzzing for the right reasons. While that sometimes leads to great, refreshingly thoughtful storytelling decisions, it can also lead to conformity, blandness, and incongruence just as often -- especially when the ending has been changed out of sheer executive pressure.

Lionsgate has launched the first official trailer for J. J. Perry's upcoming action comedy The Killer's Game, which is every bit as bloody as you'd expect as we see Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy; Dune; Blade Runner 2049) step into the shoes of an assassin who must survive the aftereffects of a hit he put out on himself.
As per the synopsis, "when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Sofia Boutella) , he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late."

Michael Rosenbaum claims his character in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movies was initially supposed to have much more screen time.
During a panel at Nashville Comicon on Saturday, the Smallville star opened up about playing Martinex, a small supporting role, in James Gunn’s sci-fi trilogy.
“The role was supposed to be a lot bigger. They cut a lot out,” Rosenbaum said. “You were supposed to see … it was written in the script to see Martinex’s powers, which were really cool. But they had so much to talk about in the script that they ended up cutting it out at the end. And there was some other stuff.”
However, the Impastor actor feels no animosity toward the director and is just grateful for the experience with the Guardians franchise and his longtime friend Gunn.

Launched back in 2013 with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as the lead, the DC live-action connected universe aka the Dceu finally succumbed to its own box-office and critical failures following the release of Justice League. Taking control of the remnants and determined to start over with a clean slate came James Gunn and Peter Safran, the former almost ready to kick-start it all with Superman.

Michael Rosenbaum Reveals Martinex Originally Had a Bigger Role in the Guardians of the Galaxy Movies - Main Image
Michael Rosenbaum recently revealed that his character Martinex originally had a bigger role in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
The Smallville actor made his MCU debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where he played Martinex, the first officer of the Stakar Ravager Clan that has a body composed of silicon-isotope crystals.
While the character had a fun presence in the two films he appeared in, Martinex ultimately didn't have a large storyline as he mostly appeared as the right-hand man of Sylvester Stallone's Stakar Ogord.

Among DC fans, Michael Rosenbaum is notable for his portrayal of Lex Luthor in Smallville, which James Gunn previously deemed his favorite iteration of the character onscreen. Apart from Luthor, Rosenbaum has also voiced several other DC characters, including Deadman, Kid Flash, and Barry Allen, across shows like Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Teen Titans, etc.
However, his stint in the realm of superheroes isn’t just limited to DC, as thanks to his good pal Gunn, the actor landed the role of Martinex in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. But per the actor, his role in the films was initially supposed to be a lot bigger than it ended up being.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 introduced the "original" Guardians, with a team comprised of Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord, Ving Rhames as Charlie-27, Michelle Yeoh as Aleta Ogord, Miley Cyrus as Mainfraime, and Michael Rosenbaum as Martinex.
When the sequel was released in 2017, the expectation was that filmmaker James Gunn would oversee a slate of cosmic projects for Marvel Studios, creating a Marvel Cosmic Universe.
While it's never been clear how far along those plans got, they were halted when Disney parted ways with Gunn after past comments on social media caught up with him. He eventually returned to helm Vol. 3, but quickly parted ways with the franchise to take charge of DC Studios and the Dcu.
Rosenbaum is good friends with Gunn and fans hoped Martinex might take on a bigger role in the threequel or even a Ravagers-led potential spin-off. Unfortunately, the Smallville alum's role...

Could it be time for a familiar face to soar once again through the DC universe? Michael Rosenbaum, whose turn as the infamous Lex Luthor earned him a legion of fans in Alfred Gough & Miles Millar’s iconic Smallville series, may just have the key to unlocking his return to James Gunn’s Dcu—under one clear, heartfelt condition.
With a candid moment tinged with possibilities, Rosenbaum recently shared that he would be thrilled to play the incredibly complex villain, given the right pitch and call from his friend James Gunn. The Smallville series followed Clark (played by Tom Welling) as he learned about his Kryptonian ancestry and eventually underwent the training that would prepare him to become Superman.

There’s something strange about the franchise reboot of the big orange tabby in The Garfield Movie. For one, the story completely sidelines the relationship between Jon Arbuckle and Garfield. Another issue is that all the characters are cardboard cutouts, and you know virtually nothing about them besides how Garfield came into Jon’s possession.
Perhaps most importantly, the trademark apathetic nature of the main character is non-existent. It’s as if the studios bought the brand name and turned the character into a clone of any fish-out-of-water animation adventure. That’s what’s wrong with The Garfield Movie. What makes the character great is washed away for a run-of-the-mill animated family film that you’ve seen nine lives over.
It’s purr-fectly predictable from start to its stagnant finish.

Chris Pratt paid tribute to his late stunt double Tony McFarr in a heartfelt message on social media in which Pratt remembered their time on several movie sets together. McFarr was Pratt’s stunt double on some of the actor’s biggest films, including the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Jurassic World” franchises. McFarr died May 13 at the age of 47.
“Devastated to hear about the loss of my friend and former stunt double Tony McFarr,” Pratt wrote. “We did several movies together. We golfed, drank whiskey, smoked cigars, and spent endless hours on set. I’ll never forget his toughness. I remember he took a nasty shot to the head (in the title sequence of ‘Guardians 2’) and got several staples in his head came right back to work ready to go again. He was an absolute stud.”
“He was always a gentleman and professional,” Pratt added. “He’ll be missed.
