How the internet fell for Baby Rocket Raccoon

The new trailer for the Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy 3, has just dropped and the reactions to it have blown up. It is all thanks to the new cute phenomenon that is baby Rocket.

In the new trailer for the superhero movie, baby Rocket’s scenes are packed with big emotions. Directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is looking to be a massive affair as it concludes his Marvel trilogy.

The character in one shot during the teaser looks pretty beaten up, his voice-over talks about “one last flight”, and Star-Lord (Pratt) is seen screaming in despair… so yeah, it doesn’t look great for our favourite space raccoon, does it?

Only time will tell if Rocket manages to survive the upcoming science fiction movie. Until then, let’s try not to think about the potential tears and focus on how cute baby Rocket is instead. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 hits theatres on May 5, 2023.

Harry Potter TV series gets positive update

The wizarding world of the Harry Potter movies could well be coming to the small screen, after Warner Bros bosses revealed they intend to create a TV series based on the fantasy movies. Now there’s a new, very positive update which suggests those plans may indeed move ahead.

According to some sources, Warner Bros TV boss Channing Dungey has a positive update on the plans to bring Potter to the small screen. When asked if a fantasy series based around the Harry Potter characters or some variation is in the works, Dungey said: “There is a tremendous amount of ambition for that and we are engaged in a number of different conversations.”

So, while we don’t have much of an idea what this TV series might look like, it certainly sounds like something is brewing.

Spider-Man 4 may release by 2024

The Marvel movie machine never slows down, and when it comes to Spider-Man movies, there are two studios pushing things forward. Turns out Sony is super keen on ensuring Tom Holland’s next outing as the MCU character Peter Parker arrives by 2024.

Apparently, Sony is putting Spider-Man 4 on the fast-track and wants production to begin on the web-slinging action movie at some point between April and June 2024.

If all goes according to plan, that would put Spider-Man 4 right at the end of Phase 5. The sources claim a script has been in development for a while now, but the only problem is, the project has no director attached at this moment in time.
