BREAKING: Hulk Back at Marvel? Details on 2022 Star Wars Movie! New Defenders Projects?!

Hey guys, we need to break down a lot of the news and rumors that have been being spread this week, much of which is from reputable sources. So that's what I'm doing today. We discuss potential Defenders series, Hulk's potential return to the MCU, casting footage from Wandavision, news on filming dates, two new animated series, including Doctor Aphra and a sequel to Rebels, and the news of a potential prequel series of Star Wars films that takes place 400 years prior to the Skywalker saga.

Defenders characters are rumored to be currently worked upon, which was previously assumed to be impossible within that two year period. There doesn’t appear to be any news on whether the original cast will be re-incorporated, or what medium these characters will be featured in. https://mcucosmic.com/2020/01/04/rumor-marvel-studios-is-already-developing-projects-with-the-defenders-characters/ * Hulk and Namor could be back at Marvel, according to several sources. While the rumor has only been publicly made a breakthrough this past week, rumors of it have been spreading since a September interview with a Marvel TV creative, Shawn Boogie, who claimed “we got she-hulk, we got Hulk, and we got somebody else back...” That interview has since been wiped from the web. This potentially brings new light to the fact that Ruffalo visited with Feige to discuss the future of the character. Could we be seeing some Solo Hulk films in Phase 5? https://mcucosmic.com/2020/01/04/rumor-marvel-studios-may-have-gained-full-control-of-the-hulk-and-namor/ https://mcucosmic.com/2019/11/25/mark-ruffalo-pitched-hulk-stories-to-kevin-feige/ * Leaked footage of two young actors, John and Nick Fisher, auditioning for the roles of Wanda’s children, may reveal that a character is returning. We won't be linking the videos. * Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings begins filming shorty, perhaps as soon as Monday, January 6. According to Taika Waititi, filming for Thor: Love and Thunder begins in August/Spider-Man 3 begins shooting in the Summer. https://twitter.com/variety/status/1213615374043959297?s=21 Star Wars News/Rumors: * Two new animated series are coming to Disney+, one potentially featuring Doctor Aphra (though this could be live action), as well as a sequel series for Star Wars Rebels, featuring Ahsoka and Sabine. https://twitter.com/JordanMaison/status/1205138776303001600 https://youtu.be/cTUqKaKuk90 * A new Star Wars Saga taking place in the High Republic era. It’s not a trilogy, but the start to a new series. 400 years before the Skywalker Saga. This could potentially be linked with Project Luminous, which begins this year, and may start with a video game. Takes place during the period of Darth Bane’s Sith rule of two being established. Db Weiss and David Benioff were initially attached to the project. https://makingstarwars.net/2020/01/the-next-star-wars-film-saga-to-be-set-during-the-high-republic-era/ Music by Eric Godlow: Optimistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSNJ_es1BKY Lonely Nights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdG8Y-UI7Ls Rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xswdY8SLFOk Trust Issues: https://youtu.be/6V0vMV443g0
