The firing of James Gunn pretty much dominated all nerdish airwaves today, as Disney announced it was severing relations with the Guardians of the Galaxy director, in response to offensive Tweets he authored several years ago, when Gunn admits he was trying to shock during a regrettable provocateur phase. It’s an understandable move on Disney’s part, but shocking, given Gunn’s huge success and indelible association with the characters.
Onward. CBS dropped their first full trailer for the 2nd season of Star Trek Discovery, featuring Anson Mount as legendary starship Captain Christopher Pike. The trailer evokes a deliberately lighter tone than season 1.
It’s sounds like The Disney Store will be filling the void for many of the previous Hasbro exclusive figures that were up in the air since the collapse of Toys “R” Us. Currently their “Quicksilver Baton” Captain Phasma is only available at Canadian TRU stores, where the business still operates.
More great news for collectors of Hasbro’s Black Series line, who like myself are fans of Star Wars Rebels. They are finally releasing the last two main characters in 6” figure form, irascible droid Chopper and protagonist Ezra Bridger.
Hasbro also released some more official pics of the upcoming second wave of Black Panther figures. Loving that Killmonger mask!
That’s it for today. Tomorrow will likely see the Aquaman trailer arrive, and who knows what else might happen?
