James Gunn hypes up his Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 soundtrack. Get a look at all the Easter Eggs that went into making Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. Plus, a glimpse at Foundation’s season finale, and another look at the Solar Opposites holiday special. To me, my spoilers!
Daredevil
In a new interview with Small Screen, screenwriter David Hayter seemingly confirmed a Daredevil reboot is currently in development at Marvel.
You know, they’re doing a reboot of Daredevil and Daredevil was always a very important character to me, and I loved the, I loved the first way they did it. But there’s certain things that I, you know that I want to adapt from the Frank Miller run on Daredevil that really meant a lot to me. Um, I yeah, I I mean, that’s that’s really the one.
After realizing what he said though, Hayter promptly walked back what he said, stating that he simply thought he had heard about a Daredevil project.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Relatedly, Kirsten Dunst confirmed to Total Film (via The Direct) she will not appear in Spider-Man: New Way Home.
I’m not in that movie, no [laughs]. I know there’s rumors, right?... No, I’m the only one [not in it]. ‘Can’t put an old girl in there!’
Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
Deadline reports John M. Chu has been hired to direct the film adaptation of Dr. Suess’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! for Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Animation.

DISCUSSION
Seminal and influential as it was, I hope whatever iteration of Daredevil the next live-action version is inspired by is not Frank Miller’s. It’s not even the fact that chunks of it have probably not aged well, but I don’t think it’ll feel interesting given all the ways that time of comics has permeated superheros. Maybe not as a comedy, but the humorlessness of it all--and this was true for the Netflix Marvel shows too, I think, is a major knock.
