On the October 14, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film editor Brad Oman to have a spoiler-filled discussion about She-Hulk Episode 9 “Whose Show Is This?” Opening Banter:  In The Spoiler Room: She-Hulk Episode 9 “Whose Show Is This?” FeedbackNathan from Canada writes in: “The moment Matt Murdoch says, “I’m Daredevil” you can actually hear the Netflix  daredevil theme playing in the background. Could that little Daredevil theme subtly imply that these 2 universes are one? Also You said that the only way to get Hulk blood from She-Hulk is in her She-Hulk form. Not to play the “umm… actually” card, but didn’t Jennifer Walters get her She-Hulk powers from Bruce’s blood? Even while in regular human form? I think having an extra strong vibranium syringe, just makes it easier to get her blood regardless her form, since it’s probably more difficult to sneak attack a Hulk with a normal syringe. We saw how that end in that “street fight”. Brief reactions Breakdown  Speculation Matthew writes in “The MCU version of Skaar is obviously very different from the Marvel Comics version, in which a very angry Skaar travels to Earth in an attempt to kill the Hulk. We only see Skaar in She-Hulk for a few seconds but it seems clear that he is very different from the comics. He isn't full of rage but instead comes across as very shy. I think this lines up with my theory of Skaar joining the Young Avengers and replacing the character Hulkling. Now the big question is when will the Young Avengers appear? I have no idea if they plan to make a tv show or movie with the Young Avengers but I think it's going to happen before the end of the Multiverse Saga. As I think now all the Young Avengers characters have been introduced and one of the more prominent story arcs with the Young Avengers is with Kang the Conqueror. Now one of the big differences between Hulking and Skaar as characters is that Hulkling is gay and eventually gets married to Wiccan, one of Wanda's sons who is also a Young Avenger. Will Marvel Studios make Skaar gay or is using his character instead of Hulkling a way of Disney side stepping that issue so that the Young Avengers tv series or movie can be carried large markets like China? I do think using Skaar streamlines the convoluted storyline that is Hulkling's origin and that's a good thing but I've come to realize there might be business reasons why Marvel Studios is doing this which would be unfortunate for LGBTQ+ representation in the MCU.   All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.  You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (RSS).  Send your feedback, questions, comments and concerns to us at peter@slashfilm.com.

On the October 3, 2022 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editorial director Peter Sciretta is joined by /Film news writer Erin Brady to discuss the latest film and tv news, including a Figment movie, More Jurassic World films, Armor Wars, Deadpool 3, and Now You See Me 3. Opening Banter:  Erin tell us about yourself? We’re back! The schedule should return to normal: Ben is back from his huge trip, Ryan is back from Fantastic Fest, and Peter is back from EPCOT’s 40th!  Donate to the Florida Disaster fund   In The News: Erin: Disney Epcot Mascot Figment Is Getting A Movie From Seth Rogen And Detective Pikachu WritersWho is Figment, and why is he beloved? Who are these screenwriters? Will Seth Rogen be playing Figment? Peter has heard some rumblings!  What do you think? Peter (og BJ): Colin Trevorrow Strongly Hints At A Lot More Jurassic World Movies To ComeTrevorrow told Empire: "This movie clearly takes a real interest in creating new characters that a new generation is going to latch on to”. … "I never knew that this was the ending of the franchise until I saw the marketing. Those guys are brilliant at what they do, but for me I think it might have been clearer if they'd said, 'The end of an era', as opposed to all of it, because regardless of the cynical approach — of course they're gonna want to make more money, which is what 'Jurassic World' was about — a new dinosaur fan is born every day." “I specifically did something different than the other films in order to change the DNA of the franchise. The previous five films are plots about dinosaurs. This one is a story about characters in a world in which they coexist with dinosaurs. For the franchise to be able to move forward — because it’s inherently unfranchisable, there probably should have only been one ‘Jurassic Park’ – but if we’re gonna do it, how can I allow them to tell stories in a world in which dinosaurs exist, as opposed to, here’s another reason why we’re going to an island?” Do we really believe there will be more Jurassic World sequels? What would you like to see with the future of the Jurassic franchise? Erin: Marvel's Armor Wars TV Show Will Now Be A Movie Starring Don CheadleSame writer Actors didn't even know? How do you think this will change this project? When can we now expect it? Erin: Deadpool 3 Will See The Return Of Hugh Jackman As WolverineWe had heard there was a road trip movie in the works with Deadpool and Wolverine but then Disney bought Fox and those plans got shelved We knew Disney was still interested in making a third Deadpool film and it would be set in the mcu Ryan posted a video on twitter, tell us about it? It appears to have meant to air at D23? Why do you think it was delayed? I like the Deadpool logo with the 3 wolverine claws What do you think of this? Does this make Wolverine MCU canon? How can Wolverine return? Didn't he die in Logan? Mention: Ben’s Every Way Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Could Return In Deadpool 3 Erin: Uncharted Director Ruben Fleischer Is Getting Tricky With Now You See Me 3Fleischer had previously worked with both Eisenberg and Harrelson on the Zombieland films. What did you think of the Now You See Me movies? Why Magic is hard to do in movies and tv. Regardless of our thoughts, the movies make money – almost $700 million worldwide to date… so why did it take so long to make a third one? Ruben’s filmography What could get you excited to see Now You See Me 3? Tom Cruise it!
