Avengers: Endgame “Encore” Trailer Drops
Marvel Studios just dropped the trailer for Avengers: Endgame - Encore, hyping up tickets going on sale for its theatrical re-release on September 25th. The trailer gives us all the nostalgia—the portals opening, Cap lifting Mjolnir, Tony’s ultimate sacrifice—remastered for "Infinity Vision." But the big hook here? They’re teasing 4 minutes of brand-new, never-before-seen footage. Marvel is officially framing this re-release as a crucial bridge linking the Infinity Saga directly to Avengers: Doomsday. You already know we’re going to be dissecting every single frame on the show!
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Keeps Breaking Records
The web-slinger simply cannot be stopped. Spider-Man: Brand New Day just crossed a historic milestone, pulling in a wild $858.4 million at the domestic box office. That officially pushes it past Avengers: Endgame ($858.3M) to make it the #1 highest-grossing MCU film of all time domestically, and the #2 highest-grossing movie in domestic history behind The Force Awakens. Spidey is carrying the box office on his back right now, and we gotta talk about what this means for the future of the MCU.
Chris Hansen is Beefing with A24?!
Finally, we have to touch on the weirdest Hollywood drama of the week: Chris Hansen vs. A24 over their upcoming film Primetime, which stars Robert Pattinson and dramatizes the To Catch a Predator era.
The Screening Walkout: Hansen went to an early private screening, but walked out after refusing to sign a contract that he claims forced him to sign away rights to his name, likeness, and legal standing. A24 claims it was just a standard non-disclosure agreement to stop plot leaks, but Hansen wasn't having it.
The Ad Hijack: Since he wasn't allowed to see how he's being portrayed, Hansen bought up pre-show ad space on screens playing Primetime to plug his own streaming network (TruBlu), reminding audiences they’re watching a "fictionalized Hollywood version" of his real life work. Petty or justified? We're breaking it all down!
