Speculation is running rampant about the identity of the mysterious fiery person in the new Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness trailer. Is it Captain Marvel gone full Binary? Is it Monica Rambeau powered up? The Human Torch’s first appearance in the MCU? Sunfire quitting the Illuminati? Or is it Vulcan, and DS2 is just a War of Kings adaptation? Probably not the last one.

But there is one very intriguing possibility, a version of Tony Stark that would fit the tone this movie appears to be going for…

Axis was Marvel’s 2014 summer comics crossover event, where, under attack from Red Onslaught (Red Skull with some of Charles Xavier’s brain grafted on), the Scarlet Witch casts a spell to “invert” Red Skull’s brain and bring Xavier’s forward. Unfortunately, the spell also inverted the morality of almost everyone there, including several Avengers,...

Y’know, I’ll confess, a lot of us here at Den of Geek weren’t entirely sure of what to make of the teaser footage for Doctor Strange 2 that accompanied Spider-Man: No Way Home. It was cool, but something about it felt a little off.

Haven’t watched this trailer yet? Well, what are you waiting for?

Now, here’s some of the big stuff we found…

Patrick Stewart as Professor X

The biggest developments in the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer might relate to characters and concepts that haven’t even been hinted at in the Marvel Cinematic Universe just yet. No, your ears do not deceive you,...

Based on the true story, American Traitor: The Trial Of Axis Sally follows the life of American woman Mildred Gillars (Meadow Williams) and her lawyer (Al Pacino), who struggles to redeem her reputation. Dubbed “Axis Sally” for broadcasting Nazi propaganda to American troops during World War II, Mildred’s story exposes the dark underbelly of the Third Reich’s hate-filled propaganda machine, her eventual capture in Berlin, and subsequent trial for treason against the United States after the war.

Vertical Entertainment and Redbox Entertainment will release the film as a day & date theatrical release on May 28, 2021. The film stars Academy Award Winner Al Pacino (Serpico, The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, Dick Tracy), Meadow Williams, Swen Temmell (After, Hard Kill), Mitch Pileggi, Thomas Kretschmann, and Lala Kent.

“Criminal Minds” and “Fear the Walking Dead” star Aisha Tyler is set to direct a psychological thriller called “Silent John” that will begin filming this summer.

“Silent John” is Tyler’s second feature after “Axis” from 2017. The new film is set in County Galway, Ireland, and casting will begin soon.

During the early hours of Monday morning on April 5, Nasa sent the Space Shuttle Discovery hurtling into space on one of its last voyages. After the 6:21am shuttle launch at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, only three more voyages remain for Nasa's space shuttles before the program is closed and a new mode of transport for leaving the Earth's atmosphere is introduced. Commercial interests will likely take over in the space flight arena, which leaves the door open for all sorts of crazy contraptions to carry human beings into outer space.
