Avengers: Infinity War Deleted Scene Shows Hulk Breaking Out Of Hulkbuster Armor

The Infinity Saga box set from Marvel promises a ridiculous amount of MCU content , spanning from the original  Iron Man to the most recent 2019 releases. While it’s currently hard to get a hold of it, both due to its almost $600 price-tag and copies being snapped up, we are at least getting information about the deleted and bonus scenes that are included in the collection. We’ve already put together a list of all the exciting content in the box set, but one scene is particularly notable for fans of the Hulk, in that it shows the character breaking out of the Hulkbuster armor in Avengers: Infinity War . Part of what would have been a different storyline for Bruce Banner, the scene was planned to take place during the Battle of Wakanda, with Hulk bursting out of the Hulkbuster armor and taking on Thanos’ armies. However, the movie instead restricts Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner to the armor, following on from the Hulk’s brutal defeat by Thanos in the opening scene of the picture. ...

One of the major, and most valid, criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the last decade has been the franchise’s lack of memorable villains. The MCU has definitely improved the quality of their bad guys over the last few years thanks to the likes of Killmonger and Thanos, but that doesn’t make Yellowjacket, Malekith or Aldrich Killian any less forgettable. Obviously, the MCU is sold on the strength of its heroes so the argument could be made that the villains don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but the way Thanos was presented as a major threat to the studio’s entire universe was one of the reasons that the character worked so well as the main antagonist of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame . With the Infinity Saga now over, the franchise could be on the lookout for a new big bad , but the focus should really be on making sure each standalone movie has a nemesis that proves to be a real match for the title character.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Clip May Tease Knights Of The Old Republic

A few days ago, a clip from the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker made its way online that shows Kylo Ren journeying to a mysterious location while Palpatine feeds ominous words into his mind. In this moody sequence, the Original Trilogy villain confirms an old fan theory when he reveals that he was the voice in Ben Solo’s head this whole time. But if recent speculation has it right, then Sheev may not be the only familiar remnant of a previous Star Wars era to have a presence in the scene. At the 40-second mark, after Kylo has descended into the giant stone structure, you’ll find a shot featuring a mysterious shape in the background. And while it’s hard to say for sure just what we’re looking at, many fans are now speculating that it might be a statue of Darth Nihilus, the malevolent “Lord of Hunger” who was first introduced in the 2004 game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords .
