Spider-Man 3 Report: Willem Dafoe Is Back As Green Goblin

 

A website called “ScreenGeek” has also shared a report, which alludes to the fact that the veteran actor Willem Dafoe has been seen shooting scenes for the upcoming MCU tentpole Spider-Man 3 starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, and possibly Tobey Maguire as well.

However, as far as Tom Holland is concerned, he hasn’t got any bit of information that the two previous actors of Spider-Man, i.e., Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, will be in the film. But, there is the slightest of the possibility that the information has been kept hidden from him on purpose since he hasn’t been pretty reliable in keeping secrets.

The production of Spider-Man 3 is picking up pace, and every rumor and report is exciting for the Marvel fans. Several reports from several reliable sources have reported that a team of villains from preceding Spider-Man films and the ongoing Tom-Holland starrer franchise will make an appearance in Spider-Man 3.

However, we should remind ourselves that only two actors have been confirmed for a comeback, which includes Project Power actor Jamie Foxx in the role of Electro and Spider-Man 2 villain Alfred Molina in the role of Doctor Octopus.

Apart from those two, several rumors and whispers doing the rounds of the internet have also alluded to the fact that the villain of the first Tobey Maguire starrer Spider-Man film, Willem Dafoe, will be back as Green Goblin in the third Tom Holland starrer MCU based Spider-Man film.

The casting is in accordance with the claims made by Kevin Feige, who had revealed in one of his earlier interviews that the phase 4 plans would be based on multiverse theories.

A similar theory has also been generated by GWW, who had previously claimed that Alfred Molina would re-portray the role of Doctor Octopus in the Tom Holland starrer third Spider-Man film. They are now pretty confident that people have seen that the longtime collaborator of Abel Ferrara, Willem Dafoe, has been seen on the set of Spider-Man 3. Not only that, but they are also claiming that Willem Dafoe has been signed in to play the role of Green Goblin (Norman Osborn), an old foe of Peter Parker.

However, it must be stated that the narrative of Norman Osborn will be changed because the whole Tobey Maguire starrer Sam Raimi’s trilogy is an intellectual property of Sony. Instead of that, the upcoming film will avail itself to the alternate versions of these characters said to be existing in different universes.

It also needs to be pointed that Willem Dafoe’s character in the Tobey Maguire starrer had already died.

Considering all of that, we might be seeing a very different version of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin in the film.

Though there is no confirmation about the signing of Willem Dafoe, we might hear about him soon, considering the budget and ambitions of Marvel Studios. Apart from Willem Dafoe, it has also been suggested that Thomas Haden Church, known for her role of Sandman in the third Spider-Man film, will also play a cameo in Spider-Man.

Jon Watts will sit in the director’s chair, and other MCU characters such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen are expected to be a part of the project.

Elizabeth Olsen starrer WandaVision is currently showing on Disney+.

Captain America: Why The MCU Shouldn’t Bring Back Chris Evans

 

Captain America is one of the most important Avengers in the team Avengers. The character of Captain America / Steve Rogers has been played beautifully by the famous Hollywood actor, Chris Evans. Chris has already denied the spreading rumors about Steve coming back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to the rumors, Marvel was involved in a negotiation with Evans regarding the comeback role of Steve Rogers in the MCU. However, Chris assured fans very quickly about this lame rumor, but many fans have started to discuss if Steve’s return could work, despite the fact that the arc of Steve has already ended up in the film Avengers: Endgame and this conclusion must remain intact. However, there are some ways in which the return of Captain America could work without hampering the legacy of Endgame. In this article, we have discussed the five things that show why the MCU should not bring back Chris Evans.

The Dance Between Steve And Peggy Was The Perfect Ending For The Character

When fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe were first introduced to the character Steve Rogers, portrayed by Chris Evans., he was a soldier and could go beyond any limit in order to win World War II. This also includes crashing a plane into the ice, which was full of WMDs. In the meantime, Steve falls in love with Peggy and goes on a date with her. After 80 years, Steve wakes up, and he could focus only on that dance he missed with Peggy Carter.

In the film Avengers: Infinity War, Steve has been seen to refocus his efforts on being a soldier throughout the film. He is a great leader and has to lead the team Avengers successfully in a lot of battles against aliens and robots. After the end of the battle against Thanos and defeating him, Captain America hangs up his shield and travels back in time in order to live a happy life with his love interest Peggy Carter. In the last scene of the film Avengers: Endgame, we see the couple dancing with each other, and this is the perfect ending of Steve’s arc.

The MCU Needs To Avoid Clinging To The Past

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been one of the most popular cinematic universes among fans for several years. The MCU always come with movies having fresh and unique storylines, such as Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok, but after the events of Endgame, Marvel should not include the past in their upcoming movies as it could prove to be a risk. If Marvel does not avoid clinging to the retired characters such as Captain America and Iron Man, there could be a maximum chance of fatigue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Infinity Saga Was The Original Six’s Story, The New Saga Belongs To The New Avengers

The Marvel Cinematic Universe comprise “:the Infinity Saga” in their first three phases, which tell the story of the original Avengers coming together in order to protect the Earth from a number of aliens, robots, and various other threats, and struggling against Thanos in the climax of the film Avengers: Endgame. After the events of Endgame, Marvel has been moved to a new Phase, and it belongs to the new Avengers. Out of the six original Avengers, four of them who will be appearing in the new Phase four of the MCU, like Thor, Hawkeye, Thor, are all passing their roles to their successors, and Captain America has already done that in the film Avengers: Endgame.

Marvel Will Never Be Able To Top Cap’s “On Your Left” Moment

The most successful point of the journey of Captain America came on the battlefield in the film Avengers: Endgame. In this scene, Captain America is prepared to take on the armies of Thanos alone, and he hears a voice: “On your left.” After this, Wong and Doctor Strange open some portals in order to let in the remaining Avengers so that they could back Steve up. This is one of the most formidable and amazing moments, and in order to maintain this triumph, Marvel should not bring Steve Rogers back in the new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He Already Passed On The Shield To A New Captain America

In the upcoming phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor and Clint Barton has yet to give their powers to their mantles Jane Foster and Kate Bishop, respectively. Steve Rogers / Captain America has already passed on his shield to a new Captain America. Steve has chosen his replacement by himself, and it has been covered in the film Avengers: Endgame. If Marvel brings him back, it would not be a great idea and can result in fatigue taking place in the MCU. This article concludes the five things that show why the Marvel Cinematic Universe should not bring back Steve Rogers / Captain America in the new phase of the MCU.

Batman: Why The Animated Series Revival Is An Exciting Idea

 

Recently, we have heard some stunning rumors that Batman: The Animated Series, which is a critically-acclaimed television series. According to the rumors, a revival is being developed for Batman: The Animated Series. Batman will be featuring in some of the future big projects. However, with every revival, there come some risks as well. But, it could be more exciting as well. There are various ideas that show that the Batman: The Animated Series revival could be a success, and some show it could not be worth developing. In this article, we have discussed some of the exciting things about Batman: The Animated Series that show the revival is an exciting idea.

BTAS’ Legacy In Batman Lore/Branding

As Batman: The Animated Series is a legendary legacy on DC, it is one of the biggest reasons for this excitement. According to the vast mythos, it is the admired part of Batman-story in the Dark Knight. Now, if the makers bring a revival in the upcoming days, it will be definitely bringing some degree of excitement along with that. In order to make the revival a successful and popularity gaining revival, it should be passionately written and include great animation and art styles. It would be a great idea to make Batman appear in a TV series instead of a film as a protagonist.

Liberties Of Reboots, Multiverses

Treating this revival of Batman: The Animated Series could evade the problem. The superhero genre and the comic books usually have a long and well-established concept of the multiverse in their universe, where everything is non-canon and canon simultaneously and depends on the timeline we are talking about. The creative and innovative liberties of reboot would be the greatest strength of this potential animated series.

A New DCAU

Batman: The Animated Series was the beginning of a beloved and long-running TV animated show for Batman, but it proved for more encouragement. Similarly, Superman also got his animated show, such as Justice League Unlimited and Justice League. And this is known as DCAU that contains the interconnected universes to the comics’ pages. The DCAU has been praised a lot for Batman: The Animated Series and the associated shows with it. So, it would be a great idea to start a new animated show with a DCAU revival.

Modern Art Styles & Animation

The previous Batman: The Animated Series has always been praised for its great animation and modern art styles, but to start a revival of this show on today’s date would be really a great idea. If a revival was to be made on today’s date, there could be enhanced and improved animations depending upon today’s improved technological skills and advancements, along with the latest art styles. When it comes to animation, if the excellent art of Castlevania would not fit here, the quality and level of animation would certainly fit here.

Batman As A Main Character On TV

Batman has been the only superhero as the main character after the end of a lot of animated DC TV shows. However, it is a good thing because meantime, various other characters have been brought under the spotlight, despite the fact that Batman will always remain dominant on other characters. And to watch him as a protagonist on TV again with the revival of Batman: The Animated Series would be a great idea.

This article concludes some of the facts that show that developing a revival of Batman: The Animated Series would be a great idea.

Arrowverse: 5 Characters Who Are Smarter Than They Seemed

 

The Arrowverse introduces a variety of characters in the show. Some of the characters think that they are very intelligent, while others are smarter than they seem. The Arrowverse has brought various DC characters to the small screen. The characters include a lot of villains and heroes who are both smart and dumb. For example, Felicity Smoak is smart, according to the viewers, because she kept Oliver alive. However, there are a lot of characters in the series which are not smart actually even after their wonderful acting. In this article, we have discussed some of the characters in the series Arrowverse who are smarter than they have seemed during the entire series.

Sara Lance

Sara and Laurel are the two daughters of Quentin Lance. Both of her daughters are interested in Oliver Queen, who is a playboy son of Moira and Robert Queen. When Queen’s yacht sinks, Robert, Sara, and Oliver are all about to die, but they all survived. However, in order to save his son, Robert has to sacrifice himself. Sara has been underestimated throughout the series consistently in comparison with Laurel. However, it has been proved later, after the events of the Legends of Tomorrow, that Sara is a capable warrior, a wise, and an intelligent leader.

Wild Dog

Wild Dog is another character in the series Arrowverse. In the superhero business of Green Arrow, he has picked up a lot of sidekicks and partners. Once, he had a great team of people who helped him in cleaning their city. Wild Dog is one of his team members. When Wild Dog was introduced for the first time, it felt that he is a thug with some sort of attitude. But, the fact is that he is a lot more intelligent and understanding guy than he seems in the show. The degree of Oliver Queen’s and his anger is somewhat similar, as shown in the series.

John Diggle

John Diggle is one of the most intelligent men on the show, but it never seemed throughout the series that he is intelligent enough along with a muscular body physique. John is the earliest teammate of Oliver Queen, along with Felicity Smoak when Oliver finally returned home. John is an experienced operative and soldier who has the ability to manage the back of Oliver in the field. He was also responsible for keeping Oliver underground for quite a long time. He has a great sense of finding the truth out of a situation when everyone fails in doing that, including Oliver. In this way, he can be considered a more intelligent man than he seems during the entire show.

Iris West-Allen

Barry Allen and Iris West are introduced together for the first time when the show turns towards The Flash. Iris is the wife of The Flash, who has been considered as the Fastest Man Alive and a police officer’s daughter. She is a capable person and intelligent enough to make The Flash move in the right direction. She has supported Barry in many ways, and things would have been different for Barry without Iris. However, the viewers of the show already understood that she is a smart woman, but she proves herself even smarter than people thought.

Eddie Thawne

According to the show, Barry has been shown to be perplexed by Iris right from the start, but he could not act on it because of Eddie Thawne. Eddie is a detective at Central City Police Department, partner of the father of Iris, and a friend of Barry. He is also dating Iris, and if we analyze the whole situation, it feels pretty awkward. Eddie has the potential to look into the matter and find the truth out of situation and take the required action. In this way, he is a more intelligent character than he seems during the events of the Arrowverse.

This article concludes with some of the more intelligent characters on the show The Arrowverse than they seemed.

Alejandro G. Inarritu: 5 Ways The Revenant Is Better Than Birdman

 

Alejandro G. Inarritu is one of the most famous film directors in Hollywood. He has created a lot of highly entertaining and successful movies in the past few years. The Revenant and Birdman are the two masterpieces from his successful film lineup. Both the movies gained huge popularity and became famous among critics very quickly after their release. Both of these films earned huge amounts on the box office and also won many Academy Awards. However, both the films are comparable as they have different storylines and characters. In this article, we have discussed the five ways that show The Revenant is much better than the film Birdman.

The Lead Actor Stands Out More

One of the most famous actors in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio, is in the leading role in the film The Revenant and portrays the character of Hugh Glass. However, the character of Riggan Thomson portrayed by Michael Keaton is also very appreciable, but still, the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio stands out more as compared to the performance of Michael Keaton. Both of these characters have gone through various hardships in their respective films, but in the end, they do not get complete success. Both of them have performed beautifully in their own ways, but the awards won by DiCaprio are more than Keaton, which shows that DiCaprio stands out more.

The Supporting Actor Does An Outstanding Job

Although the character of Leonardo DiCaprio has been appreciated by the audience as the leading actor in the film The Revenant, Tom Hardy has also been praised a lot for his beautiful performance in the role of a supporting actor as John Fitzgerald. He is playing the role of a character who can betray his team at any moment for his benefit. However, he does the same thing, but still, the viewers are unpredictable for his actions.

The Cinematography Is More Exciting

The cinematography of both the films The Revenant and Birdman has been done by Emmanuel Lubezki, who is a famous cinematographer in Hollywood. He has done a tremendous job in both films and has been praised a lot for that. He made the films more special and kept the signature look of Inarritu’s films. Although it is not an easy task to decide which film has the best cinematography among these two films, The Revenant manages to attract more viewers with the appreciable camera work, and it feels more exciting as compared to Birdman.

The Costume And Set Design Immerse Viewers Into The Story

The set design and costume play a very important role in seeking the attention of the viewers for a more immersive movie-watching experience. They visually create a unique environment for this amazing and different world. This is a very important aspect of the film The Revenant because the film is a bit different from the rest and offers an immersive movie-watching experience with authentic costumes and real-looking set designs.

The Themes Are More Interesting And Obvious

Both the films The Revenant and Birdman introduce very amazing and interesting themes, but The Revenant gets more marks in it as it includes a more obvious way to explore the theme as compared to Birdman, which introduces an unpredictable theme. The story of the film Birdman revolves around the fate and destiny of an artist. On the other hand, the story of the film The Revenant follows morality and mortality, suffering and exploration, revenge and perseverance – among a lot of other things.

This article concludes the five ways that show that out of both the films directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu, The Revenant is far better than Birdman.

How to Spoof Geolocation in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge

 

In this article, we have discussed the ways using which you can fake Geolocation in Mozilla, Chrome, and Edge. Nowadays, the HTML5-compliant browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft’s new Chromium-based browser Edge, come witha built-in geolocation service that allows the browsing sites to detect theprecise location of the individuals. However, the user can easily spoof his geolocation information in the browser if his location rather doesn’t get revealed to the third-party services and sites.

If you enable geolocation on your browser, it would probably help use the mapping services so as to get the relevant search results. It is also used to serve them targeted ads. This could be a serious concern related to privacy. So, today we have shown some of the ways using which you canspoof geolocation onFirefox, Chrome, and Edge.

Spoof Geo-location in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge

Below we have mentioned the methods that you can use to fake your geolocation. All thesemethods that are mentioned below make use of geolocation API of HTML5, letting the websites access a high-level interface that helps them query latitude and longitude-like physical location information. No doubt, access to information at such granular levelsdisclosesan individual’s anonymity, online leading to aserious privacy concern that depends on how the information gets used by these sites.

So, to help individuals maintain online privacy, below are the steps on how users can spoof location in their web browser (Firefox, Chrome, or Edge).

Please be noted that Spoofing geolocation in web browsers is a temporary process. The user is reverted back to his original location once the browser window is closed and reopened again. Below are the ways to make use of the HTML5 Geolocation API.

Google Chrome

We have discussed below two methods to spoof geolocation in Chrome:

Method 1:Manually Entering the Location Coordinates.

For that, you need to follow these steps:

1. First, you need to make sure that every time when Chromewants to access your location, it asks for your approval. To allow this to happen, you need to open Chrome and tap on the three-dot “Menu” appearing at the right-hand side on the top. Then, click “Settings.”
2. Further, scroll below to “Privacy & Security” and tap on “Site Settings.”
3. Now, you will see the “Location” option appearing under “Permissions,” in which you need to click on “Ask before accessing.” If it states“Blocked,”tap on it and turn on the toggle for it.
4. Then, visit the Developer Options section by pressing together Ctrl+Shift+Ion a Windows machine or Cmd+Option+I on your Mac. Further,tap on the three-dot Menu buttonof the Developer Consoleand click on“More Tools.” Further, click on“Sensors.”
5. Further, under the new pane that is appearing at the bottom, you need to tap on “Override” to choose from preset options that include London, Tokyo, and more. Alternatively, the precise location can also be set by manually typing your exact latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates.

Method 2:Using an Extension

Users can also spoof their IP with the help of Chrome extensions. It can be accessed from the web store. This will let individuals hide their exact location;however, itmight still give information to the websites about the user’s general location. This will help individuals get access to the best of both worlds, and they will also be able to access the local search results without providing their exact address. All this can also be done manually if the users don’t worry about the accuracy of the search result. Here’s how you do it, either way:

1. First, add a Location Guard to Chrome. Further, to spoof your location, visit Location Guard “options” and go to Chrome Settings, then click on Extensions, now tap on Location Guard Details and then press Extension Options. Further, change the Default Level to ‘Use Fixed Location.’
2. Now you can easily drag and drop the blue pin appearing on the map to any location as desired, and that location will get spoofed by your browser. That’s it.
3. Wait for a couple of seconds to let the changes take place. Meanwhile, you can also clear cache on the server-side. This is amuch-preferred option for general users as it helps disableactual geolocation queries and uses your spoofed location in order to notify sites where you are actually present.

Mozilla Firefox

Method 1: Manual

1. Changing the location in Firefox is easy.Just type about:configin the address bar of your browser and tap on Enter. Dismiss the warning that gets displayed on your system so that you can access the advanced options.
2. Further, search for geo.enabled in the search bar ofabout:config. If you want to fake the location, the value should be “True.”However, it should be “False” if you want to turn off the location access completely. You need to do that using the two-way arrow appearing on your screen.
3. Then,search geo.provider.network.url and tap on the button“Edit” in order to set your desired location’s latitude and longitude with the help of the syntax:data:application/json,{“location”: {“lat”: 27.1750, “lng”: 78.0421}, “accuracy”: 27000.0}. Further, tap onthe blue ‘Tick’ mark.
4. That’s it. Your location will be changed according to the latitude and longitude you have set.

Method 2: Add-on

Similar to Chrome, the Location Guard Add-on is available and works in a similar manner on Firefox too. It can be downloaded for free from the add-on repository of Mozilla so that you canmodify your location easily in Firefox. Once you have installed it, you can access it using the three-dot Menu and further clicking on Add-ons using any Firefox window you have opened.

Microsoft Edge

Just like Firefox and Chrome, Edge Chromium offers spoofing of the location. It can be done using advanced developer tools. The process is completely identical to the one you followed for Google Chrome. Below are the steps using which you can spoof your geolocation in Edge Chromium:

1. First, you need to open the Command Menu by pressing togetherControl+Shift+Con Linux and Windows machines or Command+Shift+Pfor macOS. Further, click on the three-dot Menu button appearing in the console ofDevTools and now tap on “More Tools” and then on“Sensors.”
2. Click on the“Sensors” tab appearing at the bottom of the DevTools window.
3. Further tap on the option “Override” in order to choose one of the preset cities appearing in the list of geolocation. You can also manually enter the longitude and latitude coordinates.

Please be noted that Microsoft Edge has only one method to change the location as of now.Currently, it doesn’t have a location spoofing extension; however, whilethe new version is Chromium-based, we hope it would arrive soon in the future.
