Oh Geez! The ‘Fargo’ Season 2 Trailer Just Dropped

Monkeys Fighting Robots

FX just released the official trailer to the second season of Fargo.

It starts small, but this thing’s ‘bout to get a whole lot bigger.

The all new “true crime” case of Fargo’s new chapter travels back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, where a young State Police Officer “Lou Solverson” (Wilson), recently back from Vietnam, investigates a case involving a local crime gang and a major Mob syndicate. Helping him piece things together is his father-in-law, “Sheriff Hank Larsson” (Danson). The investigation will lead them to a colorful cast of characters that includes “Karl Weathers” (Nick Offerman), the town lawyer of Luverne, Minnesota. A Korean War vet, Karl is a flowery drunk blessed with the gift of gab and the eloquence of a true con artist.

Three-time Emmy winner Brad Garrett will play “Joe Bulo,” the front man for the northern expansion of a Kansas City crime syndicate. The new face of corporate crime, Joe’s bringing a Walmart mentality to small town America. His number two is “Mike Milligan” (Bokeem Woodbine). Part enforcer, part detective, Mike is always smiling – but the joke is usually on you. Bulo and his crew have their sights set on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo, currently led by matriarch “Floyd Gerhardt” (Smart).
With her husband at death’s door, Floyd takes over the family business, frustrating her eldest son, “Dodd Gerhardt” (Jeffrey Donovan). An impatient hothead with a cruel streak to match his ambitions, Dodd can’t wait for both his parents to die so he can take over and expand their business from kingdom to empire. “Bear Gerhardt” (Angus Sampson) is the middle son, an intimidatingly large man who, although inarticulate, is the most decent of his clan. “Rye Gerhardt” (Kieran Culkin), the youngest of the Gerhardt clan, views himself as a big shot, but in reality he’s just a small dog who barks big.

‘Ant-Man’ Had An Alternate Ending, Changed For Future Films

Monkeys Fighting Robots

Director Peyton Reed has been all over the globe on his press tour for Ant-Man, in a conversation with Cinemablend he brought up the original ending to the film and how it was changed to leave the story open for future tales.

“At the end of the movie he (Mitchell Carson) gets away and has these Cross particles, and there was a sequence where Ant-Man has an encounter with him. But then for a couple reasons, it felt like maybe we should leave those particles out there. In that original thing, he took Martin Donovan out and got the particles,” said Reed.

What are the “couple reasons” that Marvel left the Cross particles out in the Marvel Universe. Will the particles come back and haunt the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War?

‘Captain America: Civil War’ To Foreshadow ‘Thor: Ragnarok’

Monkeys Fighting Robots

In an interview with the Los Angles Times to promote her new show Blindspot on NBC, Jaime Alexander talked about Lady Sif’s role in the third Thor film, Thor: Ragnarok.

“Marvel, I think on purpose, they don’t tell me certain things. Because they know I’ll be like, “So here’s what’s gonna happen.” But I do know I will be in “Thor 3″ and that Sif will have a very pivotal part in that movie. I just can’t tell you what because I’ll get shot,” said Alexander.

Alexander was asked if she likes the easter eggs in the Marvel films and lets slip that there will be hints at Thor: Ragnarok in Captain America: Civil War.

“Yeah, there’s a lot of great stuff they’ve peppered in through “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “The Avengers,” “Captain” will have some stuff. There’s just all kind of Easter eggs and hints, if you’re really paying attention. They’re so good at interweaving everything throughout those films,” said Alexander.

Captain America: Civil War is filming now and will be in theaters on May 6, 2016. Thor: Ragnarok will be in theaters on November 3, 2017.

Lucy Lawless Shuts Down Xena Reboot Rumors

Monkeys Fighting Robots

Lucy Lawless took to twitter to respond reports making the rounds last night, that “Xena: Warrior Princess” was getting the reboot treatment at NBC. The actress dispelled the reports as mere “rumors” and “wishful thinking” although she did express interest should it become a real thing.

It is still entirely possible that the producers and studio are working on it without the knowledge of Lawless as she is just an actress and wouldn’t be involved in the early stages. But considering her close relationship with the producers, it may well be in the know.

The news last night divided fans as many felt it wasn’t needed while others thought it would greatly benefit from today’s visual effects. Are you disappointed at this news? Sound off below and be sure to check back at MFR for updates!

Benicio Del Toro Eyed For Villain Role In Star Wars Episode VIII

Monkeys Fighting Robots

imagesSources have confirmed to Deadline, that actor Benicio Del Toro (The Usual Suspects, Guardians Of the Galaxy) is in talks to take on the role of the main villain in Star Wars: Episode VIII. The film which is slated for a May, 2017 release date will be directed by Rian Johnson, mostly known for his 2012 Sci-fi hit “Looper” starring Joseph Gordon Levitt.

This news raises a few questions and could be an indication that at least one of the three main villains in JJ Abrams’ Star Wars : The Force Awakens will not make it out of the movie alive. It is unlikely to be Gwendolyn  Christie’s Captain Phasma since she is the franchise’s first female antagonist. That leaves Domhnall Gleeson’s General Hux,  and Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren.

What are your thoughts on this potential casting? Comment below and let us know!
