Michelle Pfeiffer — The Nine Realms

"In the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man (Rudd) is left facing the consequences of his actions as both a superhero and a father. When he’s confronted by Hope van Dyne (Lilly) and Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas) with an urgent new mission, Scott must once again put on his Ant-Man suit and learn to fight alongside The Wasp. As the team works together, they’ll uncover secrets from their past." That's the synopsis that was released with this new title art for Marvel's upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp. This is a little more vague of a synopsis than I thought we would get. Especially considering they already announced Michelle Pfeiffer as the lost Janet van Dyne. As for the new logo... meh. I don't know, it just don't have that MCU feel to it at first glance. If it wasn't for the little bit of added texture if you zoom in, it feels like the logo you would use for an animated version. I don't hate it. I just think it could look a little better. What do y'all think? New Logo? Synopsis? Put it down in the comments, like, & share.

Ant-Man & the Wasp just added some amazing talent to the upcoming sequel, starting with a childhood crush of mine, Michelle Pfeiffer. Stepping back into the world of comics, (Catwoman in Batman Returns) she's signed on a Janet van Dyne, mother to Hope (Evangeline Lilly) that shrunk down to a subatomic level, never to be seen. This happened while wearing the first incarnation of the Wasp suit Hope will be seen in. Michelle Pfeiffer is amazing & I can't wait to see her in any part, in anything. Also added was Hannah John-Kamen playing Ghost. This is a villain/anti-hero who if I'm correct, is a thief that can turn intangible, & usually uses this to steal company secrets & tech. In addition to this they also added Laurence (Larry) Fishburne. That's right Cowboy Curtis (look it up) will be joining the cast as Black Goliath, a biochemist that works with Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) & can grow to giant size. Much like we saw from Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) in Captain America: Civil War. This was all in addition to other recent cast announcements, shaping up to be one heck of a cast. What do y'all think? Do these additions tickle your fancy? Did you have different things in mind? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.

Michelle Rejwan Now Senior VP Live Action Development And Production For Lucasfilm

Hollywood Reporter reports Michelle Rejwan is now the Senior VP of Live Action Development & Production. She will oversee new feature films as well Disney+ series while still producing with president Kathleen Kennedy. That seems like a hefty responsibility to drop on someone who's previous credits at Lucasfilm are producing The Force Awakens & The Rise of Skywalker. Kennedy really sees something in her though, having “seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I've been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects.” Can she be the Feige of Star Wars? Time will tell. After the hate Kennedy got from the last installment, which I loved by the way, one could think this is just to give her a scapegoat if things don't go as well over the next few projects. Curious to see how much influence this winds up having as a whole. What do y'all think? Trust in Kennedy? Or do you think maybe a more vetted choice would have been better?

Disney Reveals Name of Tokyo DisneySea's 8th Port

After breaking ground in what is to become Tokyo DisneySea's 8th port, we now have its official name. Fantasy Springs will be the title, but that's not all Dismey released on the subject. They also released some beautiful day & night concept art depicting the look of the new lands. Oriental land is investing 250 Billion Yen on this project that will feature lands themed to Frozen, Tangled, & Peter Pan. Frozen's land of post film Arendelle will feature an attraction that tells the story of Elsa and her beloved sister, Anna. Sounding like the familiar Epcot ride, suests will board boats and experience the sisters’ heartfelt journey, enjoying songs from the film, and encountering surprising thrills. There will also be a restaurant set inside the beautiful Arendelle Castle. Tangled's land will naturally feature Rapunzel’s tower rising above the forest. It will also include an boat attraction where guests will board gondolas for a romantic boat tour of Rapunzel’s “Best Day Ever” as she journeys with Flynn to the lantern festival. Flickering lanterns illuminate the attraction’s climactic scene while Rapunzel and Flynn sing an iconic song from the film. The pand will also feature a restaurant, inspired by the hideout of the band of thugs who appeared in the film in the "I've Got A Dream" sequence. Neverland will also be home to two attractions and a restaurant. Featuring landmarks including verdant mountains, Captain Hook’s pirate ship and Skull Rock. One attraction will fly over the jungles of Neverland into a battle with Captain Hook and his crew of pirates to rescue Wendy’s younger brother, John, who has been kidnapped by Captain Hook and his pirates. You'll board boats and follow the Lost Boys down a river until Tinker Bell sprinkles the boats with pixie dust, & you take off flying through Neverland on an adventure that featuring iconic music and dynamic 3D imagery of the characters from the film. The second attraction immerses us in the oversized world of Pixie Hollow, while the restaurant is inspired by the Lost Boys and their hideout. There will also be a new Disney Hllyel in the park. Themed to Disney fantasy, it will rise above and around the magical springs that serve as the core of the new themed port’s story. Offering 475 deluxe-type and luxury-type guest rooms, this park facing hotel will also feature a merchandise shop that helps share the story of the magical springs. One day I'll make it out here to see all the amazingly beautiful things TokyoSea has to offer. Luckily, I have one more reason to postpone that adventure until this amazing new addition is done.
