Gory Doctor Strange 2 Video Imagines Deadpool Killing Scarlet Witch

A brand new fan-made video imagines Deadpool killing Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Ryan Reynolds' mutant had a resurgence in 2016 with the release of his sleeper hit film, Deadpool. Since then, he has become a fan-favorite character, and anticipation is high for the character to make his MCU debut.

Marvel Studios' first 2022 blockbuster brought director Sam Raimi back into the comic book movie sandbox. In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the titular sorcerer is faced with a unique adversary: Wanda Maximoff as the Scarlet Witch, who has gone rogue after being corrupted by the Darkhold. Wanda tries traveling to other universes where she can be with her twins, and she stops at nothing to ensure that she reaches her goal, even if that means fully embracing her villainous side. Earth-838's Illuminati tries stopping her, but she quickly and rather ruthlessly kills them all.

In Mighty Raccoon's latest video, however, the YouTube content creator imagines Deadpool meddling in the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, sneaking into Earth-838 to kill Scarlet Witch. In the clip, he comes right behind her as she faces Mister Fantastic, Maria Rambeau's Captain Marvel, and Captain Carter, just before Black Bolt gets murdered by Wanda. Watch the hilarious but gory clip below:




As ridiculous as this video is, it's only a matter of time before Deadpool actually rubs elbows with the Avengers and other Marvel Studios heroes. After Disney bought Fox's TV and movie assets, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and all their tie-in characters' rights returned to Marvel. That's the reason why Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was able to feature Patrick Stewart's Professor X and John Krasinski's Mister Fantastic in the first place. It's also the reason why Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool 3 will be under Marvel Studios, making it the franchise's first R-rated project.

With regard to the way Scarlet Witch is killed in this fan-made Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it isn't really all that improbable. In Captain America: Civil War, Black Widow already pointed out Wanda's failure to look over her shoulder. That's the reason why despite her prowess, she can be easily tackled and neutralized. It doesn't seem like she has learned this particular skill yet, even as she has learned more about her fate as the MCU's Scarlet Witch. Hopefully, as she potentially starts her redemption story, she is able to address this fighting flaw of hers.

Bond 26 Has An Opportunity To Establish A Modern James Bond Tradition

Following No Time to Die's groundbreaking conclusion to Daniel Craig's tenure as 007, the franchise now has the opportunity to make good on a tradition that was started with a couple of the more modern Bond films. Changes are needed for the 007 movies after Bond 25, which was anything but traditional in many ways. Daniel Craig is now well-and-truly gone, and a new 007 is due to wear the holster, equip the Walther PPK, and don the tuxedo.

For the sake of the commercial success and longevity of the franchise, it has always been important that the first Bond film starring the new actor playing 007 kicks off the new era with a bang. All of the Bond actors' first 007 movies have all had something unique and fresh to offer audiences. Now, there is now an opportunity with Bond 26 to establish what seems to be a tradition with both of the first Bond films starring Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.




Both purposed as reboots for the franchise, GoldenEye and Casino Royale, the two most recent initial entries starring the new Bonds, were both directed by Martin Campbell. Both films were a roaring success commercially and critically, showcasing that Campbell clearly knows how to reinvent and introduce a new James Bond on the silver screen with enough explosive force to create a lasting impact. More importantly, however, Campbell has demonstrated an ability to get fans hooked on the new 007 from the get-go, whether through gritty action sequences or groundbreaking visual effects - meaning he would be the most sensible choice to direct Bond 26.

Even though No Time to Die was, much like most of Craig's outings as Bond, still more angst-ridden and emotional compared to older 007 romps, it also contained ample action and bombast. Yet Craig's previous three Bond films were not especially action-orientated compared to Casino Royale and the Pierce Brosnan films. Martin Campbell, with many great movies to his name, is still one of the best action directors in the UK, and having him inject some frivolous yet action-oriented fun into Bond 26 would act as a deeply satisfying opener for the new Bond candidate.

Campbell's two blockbuster 007 hits, GoldenEye and Casino Royale, were both products of troubling circumstances surrounding the franchise. Eon was contending with legal problems following Dalton's second outing, License to Kill, birthing to GoldenEye six years later, and Casino Royale followed Die Another Day which was universally panned by critics. Both of Campbell's films were under intense pressure, as they were relied upon to revive the franchise, and Campbell has therefore proven himself extremely competent in dealing successfully with such pressures and delivering when it really matters.

Martin Campbell would perhaps be the wisest and the most risk-free choice to direct Bond 26. GoldenEye and Casino Royale are some of the most popular Bond movies of modern time and are generally considered Brosnan's and Craig's best respective films in the franchise. However, with the new 007 and director yet to be announced, only time will tell just how traditional the Bond producers are willing to be after No Time to Die's success.

Pixar's Excuse For Replacing Tim Allen's Buzz Is Also Why Lightyear Fails

Pixar Animation Studios decided to replace Tim Allen as the titular character for Lightyear, and their excuse for doing so explains why the movie is failing to connect with audiences as readily as other Toy Story films. Changing anything, no matter how big or small, about a beloved pop culture icon is always a tricky prospect. As Lightyear director Angus MacLane states in the behind-the-scenes documentary Beyond Infinity: Buzz and the Journey to Lightyear, "the stakes are even higher when you're taking a beloved character like Buzz Lightyear, and you're reimagining him."

Much has been made about how Lightyear is meant to be the big-budget blockbuster that inspired the Buzz Lightyear action figure from the original Toy Story. This idea certainly fed into recasting Buzz Lightyear according to Lightyear director Angus MacLane, who remains adamant that Evans was his one and only choice to play Buzz due to Lightyear being a spin-off Toy Story movie and not technically a prequel or direct continuation of the franchise that Allen's Buzz existed in. MacLane likely felt compelled to provide his reasons for replacing Tim Allen's Buzz after many fans were quick to theorize that Buzz Lightyear was recast in Lightyear due to Tim Allen's recent political stances and controversies.




However, MacLane clearly explains (via Vanity Fair) that Pixar wanted a more grounded take on Buzz for the film: "Tim's version of Buzz is a little goofier and is a little dumber, and so he is the comic relief. In this film, Buzz is the action hero. He's serious and ambitious and funny, but not in a goofy way that would undercut the drama. Chris Evans has the gravitas and that movie-star quality that our character needed to separate him and the movie from Tim's version of the toy in Toy Story." Yet while not a bad idea, in theory, Lightyear's mixed critical reviews suggest the new Buzz is far too serious in line with Evans' more restrained performance - and could've used some of Allen's signature Buzz wackiness to spice things up a bit.

Evans is a skilled actor, but his take on Lightyear comes across as a Captain America-lite of sorts - ensuring that taking the goofiness out of the character robs Buzz of what makes him so endearing in the first place. MacLane's view on Buzz seems to suggest that his main character has to choose between being funny or compelling, but a so-called "action hero" can be a source of comedy in addition to being the lead star. Look no further than Indiana Jones, John McClane, or almost any character Jackie Chan has ever played for evidence of this. Allen's unwavering bravado as Lightyear coupled nicely with his signature comedic delivery to turn Buzz into a fan favorite throughout the four Toy Story films. In contrast, Evans's Buzz Lightyear feels like nothing more than a generic adventure film protagonist, which may go some way to explaining why Lightyear failed to meet Disney's lofty box office expectations.

Recasting Tim Allen for the titular role in Lightyear wasn't necessarily a bad decision on its own, and having the movie be the basis for a beloved fictional toy is an inherently intriguing idea. However, in the process of updating the character, Pixar sacrificed too much of what made Buzz likable in the first place - meaning their excuse for replacing Tim Allen's Buzz is also why Lightyear fails.

Will There Be A Buzz Lightyear Sequel

The highly anticipated film “Lightyear” sequel from Pixar tells the tale of the real-life guy who served as the model for the Buzz Lightyear toy that was featured in the Toy Story film series. The movie is a spinoff of the popular Toy Story movie series, and it follows astronaut Buzz Lightyear (Chris Evans).

He travels across space on a mission with his partner, Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba). Buzz must do all in his power to bring everyone back home while while fending off the hostile alien Emperor Zurg when the couple and a space crew crash land on a mysterious world.

Even though “Lightyear” has not yet been released in cinemas, there is already a great deal of excitement about the prospect of a sequel to the picture. In anticipation of its premiere in theatres on June 17, here is all we currently know about a potential “Lightyear” sequel.




Will There Be a Follow-Up to the Film “Lightyear”?

There are no current plans to create a second instalment of the Toy Story spinoff movie. The likelihood of a sequel being produced is heavily reliant on the financial and critical success of the first film as well as how well it was received by its target demographic.

According to projections made by Box Office Pro, “Lightyear” will likely earn more than $72 million in its very first weekend in theatres. This forecast is based on the film’s release over the Father’s Day weekend as well as the first buzz that it created on social media. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie now has an approval rating of 81 percent, indicating that reviewers generally like what they’ve seen thus far.

In an interview with Screen Rant, “Lightyear” director Angus MacLane discussed the possibility of a sequel, despite the fact that Pixar or anybody else associated with the picture has not yet issued an official statement on a possible sequel.

“For me, one of the things that made Star Wars so enjoyable was the fact that the universe it depicted was constantly open to new possibilities for what the world might be. It is when you start shutting those doors and linking those things that it becomes less engaging in my opinion. I believe that the open tenderness is frequently what people find to be the most intriguing “It was generous of him.

What to expect?

The director provided the following explanation in regard to the plot of Buzz and the possibility of expanding his storyline: “The completion of this film is currently our primary concern; however, the story that it tells is a self-contained unit, and unlike most of our other films, it does not begin with Buzz’s birth.

It was very much this thing that you’d imagined things before and afterwards, and I think linking the two is a hazardous proposition; nonetheless, you know, who knows?”

Mad Max: Furiosa Casting Hints At Young Immortan Joe Story

The recent casting changes made by the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa could hint at the movie featuring an Immortan Joe backstory, too. Not a lot is known about the plot of the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa. Anya Taylor-Joy will play Furiosa while Chris Hemsworth is also signed on to play an as-yet-undisclosed role in the movie, but beyond this, the story of the franchise outing remains a mystery.

The Mad Max prequel recently began filming and will not be released until 2024. As a result, it is no surprise that plot details have been kept under wraps for now. Set before the events of Fury Road, the movie looks set to explore the origins of the character previously portrayed by Charlize Theron, before her encounter with Tom Hardy's Max Rockatansky. However, one recent recasting announcement may give away more about the prequel’s plot than it was intended to expose.




The Mank star Tom Burke recently replaced Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in an unnamed Furiosa role, an announcement that might have proved that Mad Max: Fury Road villain Immortan Joe will appear in the prequel. Burke has the right appearance for the role of young Immortan Joe and has proven with numerous indie movie roles that he has the combination of simmering intensity and outspoken charisma that a pre-despot version of the villain would need to win over converts to his death cult. The prequel could explain the Mad Max: Fury Road villain’s backstory, detailing Immortan Joe’s rise to power alongside Furiosa’s path to working with him. The fact that Burke replaced Abdul-Mateen II may have unintentionally given this plot detail away since the indie star looks a lot like a young Hugh Keays-Byrne and has gravitated toward playing morally ambiguous figures in the recent past.

However, this could well be a misdirect, since the fact that Abdul-Mateen II was originally signed up for the role means it might have nothing to do with the Mad Max: Fury Road villain. Not only that, but Chris Hemsworth’s status as a major Hollywood star would make it a massive surprise if he wasn't the one playing a pre-War Boys Immortan Joe, meaning Burke’s resemblance to Keays-Byrne could be intentionally misleading on the part of the filmmakers. There is also always the possibility that neither actor will play a young Immortan Joe in Furiosa, since the Mad Max prequel doesn’t necessarily need to detail the dictator’s story.

After all, the purpose of Mad Max: Fury Road’s Furiosa-centric prequel was to give the movie’s breakout star a story of her own, meaning it would ironic (and arguably misguided) if the movie ended up centering on Immortan Joe instead. Furiosa could instead explain how the apocalypse occurred in the franchise's universe and how Furiosa made it out alive, two things that have never been properly addressed by earlier Mad Max installments. This would mean that Burke’s casting could have nothing to do with Immortan Joe and his role could be entirely unrelated, with the movie’s plot wrapping up long before the titular heroine even encounters the franchise villain. However, the story that Furiosa follows won’t be clear for some time as it is still over a year before the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel finally arrives on screen.

2022’s Matt Reeves The Batman wouldn’t have been what we see today if it wasn’t for Tim Sale’s work on the original comic book. But with heavy sadness, the artist, popular for iconic characters in the comic book world, Tim Sale passed away at 66.

Following that, Tim Sale went on to have a successful career. The successful run saw comics such as Batman: Dark Victory, and Catwoman: When in Rome. Recently the Sale also reworked to retell The Long Halloween in 2021.

Why Is Hustle Rated R?

Who doesn’t love to watch Adam Sandler right? well, at least it is quite evident that people love watching him and his movies since the release of Hustle which has captured the position in the Netflix’s top 10 list and most watched films and has also received a lot of positive reviews feedback. However, one thing that Is eating up the minds of those who haven’t seen the film yet is why it has been rated R, and what is there in the movie that doesn’t make it apt for all the viewers. Well like always we are here to answer that and the answer is in this article, so keep on reading.

Hustle Rated R

Hustle directed by Jeremiah Zagar is rated R which implies that it is recommended for adults and mature audiences. The reason for its rating is the language. The movie is inspirational but does consist of harsh language and crude jokes that might not be suitable for family movie night. There are several curse words but they used them for generating comedy. Even though it has been rated R one thing can be said that it is mild if compared to other R Rater movies. Apart from this the movie does not necessarily consist of nudity and there are no sex scenes, there are just verbal references but nothing is shown. There isn’t any use or reference to drugs too.




About Hustle

Taylor Materne and Will Fetters written movie is a feel-good and inspiring sport-based movie that has comedy and drama.  It is based on Stanley who is an aging international scout for National Basketball Association and is always on the search for bright players. This search has kept him away from his family too. He is then promoted to the position of assistant coach so that he can give time to his family.

But unfortunately, that does not last for long and he is demoted back to scouts duty and this time he is sent overseas for the hunt. Now you will get to see the real fun as he is at the hunt and meets Bo and tries to talk to him and convince him. Meanwhile, this is where a lot of hustle and bustle takes place. But definitely with that of comedy making this movie different from other sports films and a must-watch.

Why A Schitt's Creek Movie Would Work (Despite Its Perfect Ending)

Despite the series’ perfect conclusion, a movie continuation of Schitt’s Creek would still work, and here's why. Premiering in 2015 on CBC Television, Schitt’s Creek followed the formerly wealthy Rose family as they were forced to relocate and navigate the simple small-town life. While the show had been consistently well-received throughout its six-season run, showrunner Dan Levy, who also played David Rose, wanted to end Schitt’s Creek at the peak of its popularity. In 2020, the series finale was aired, sweeping a historic seven Primetime Emmy Award win, most notably securing all four major acting categories and the Outstanding Comedy Series award. Regardless, a potential Schitt’s Creek movie would easily work for a good reason.

With Levy’s vision to not “compromise on quality or storytelling,” the series finale of Schitt’s Creek saw its characters go down separate paths. After the wedding of David and Patrick (Noah Reid), Johnny (Eugene Levy), Moira (Catherine O'Hara), and Alexis (Annie Murphy) followed their respective dreams and left the eponymous town behind. It had always been the goal of the show to make the Rose family realize how wealth is never the solution to building long-lasting relationships. The people of Schitt’s Creek did not only embrace the Roses, but also transformed them to be genuine, loving versions of themselves.




Schitt’s Creek creator Dan Levy recently discussed the possibility of a movie continuation. Although the show’s perfect ending satisfyingly closed the door on succeeding regular seasons, it still left several possibilities to explore. For instance, the easiest storyline to develop in a potential movie would involve the Rose family reuniting in Schitt’s Creek for a celebration or a special occasion. Perhaps, Alexis Rose, who was theorized to be a spy, had time off from New York and decided to visit. Or maybe, Johnny needed to come back to the eponymous town for a business meeting, with Moira tagging along. In that way, the much-awaited family reunion could still feel organic, capturing the individuality of the main characters while highlighting how much they have each grown since the show concluded. Moreover, it would be an effective way to expand the sitcom’s future without altering or hurting its established spirit.

Regardless, Levy stated that he would initiate a movie continuation only for a good reason. While he could have easily extended the sitcom beyond his 80-episode vision, he did not want to drag out the story and sacrifice its quality in the long run just to gain more viewers or profit. Because of this, no matter how high the demand for more Schitt’s Creek, including a prequel show about Alexis, it would not simply come off as a cash-grab attempt. The future of Schitt’s Creek under Levy’s creative decisions would certainly be respectful of the audience, since, for the most part, he did not make any mistakes throughout the show’s run.

Fortunately, even Schitt’s Creek cast members are willing to return. Annie Murphy, for example, has admitted to hounding Levy with possible storylines for a movie. After all, it would be interesting to learn about the characters’ whereabouts after their long journey to love, self-awareness, and accountability. Although it might not be as heartfelt as the show, a Schitt’s Creek movie could still offer its audience a sense of closure and nostalgia.

Joker: Todd Phillips Officially Announces The Sequel! Joaquin Phoenix Set To Return

After years of speculation and rumors, it is finally confirmed that 2019’s DC standalone movie Joker will get a sequel. Writer and director Todd Phillips shared the first look at the screenplay, revealing the official title — Joker: Folie á Deux — which translates to Joker: Madness for Two! Phillips also confirmed that Joaquin Phoenix will return as the titular character by sharing a photo of Phoenix reading the first draft of the script. 

The Joker movie was released in 2019 and it became of the most successful DC movies ever. It grossed $1.074 billion worldwide against a $70 million budget, which makes it the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever. The movie received critical acclaim, and it was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The movie won two Academy Awards, for Best Actor (Phoenix) and Best Original Score, composed by Hildur Guðnadóttir.

The talks about the sequel started almost immediately after DC saw what kind of hit they have. There were a lot of rumors and speculations about the sequel, but now we finally have a legit announcement, although, some viewers thought that the first movie doesn’t need a sequel. The first movie was a massive success, so it’s not a surprise that WB and DC want more of Phoenix’s Joker, we can only hope that Phillips has a story good enough to justify the sequel and live up to the name of Joker.




While WB and DC are still trying to put their DCEU back together, Joker was a standalone film set in Gotham City during the ’80s. While it’s unlikely that we’re ever going to see Jared Leto as DCEU’s Joker again, Phoenix will now definitely return. And let’s not forget about Barry Keoghan, who played the Clown Prince of Crime this year in Matt Reeve’s The Batman starring Robert Pattinson earlier this year. The sequel for The Batman is also in development, and while the first movie teased Joker’s appearance in the sequel, we are now hoping that The Batman 2 will bring some new villains because it would be just too much of Joker if he returns as the main villain in The Batman as well. Of course, we still don’t know when The Batman 2 or Joker 2 will be released.

DC Reveals Offical Trailer For Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Black Adam’

Dwayne Johnson waited 15 years to play this role, and the time has finally come! Warner Bros. and DC revealed the first official trailer for the upcoming DC movie Black Adam! Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is playing a titular anti-hero, and the movie is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who worked with Johnson on Disney’s Jungle Cruise.

Dwayne Johnson was first announced to play Black Adam back in 2007. Since then, the project has gone through countless circles of development hell until 2021 when the production finally started. The movie changed numerous writers and directors, only The Rock remained attached to the project. Considering that WB started its DCEU in 2013, it was decided that Black Adam will be set in that franchise, which means that Johnson’s Black Adam shares the universe with Zachary Levi’s Shazam, who is set to get his sequel in December this year after making his debut in 2019.




Although Black Adam is known as Shazam’s archnemesis, it was reported that they will not meet before the eventual Shazam 3, and considering how long Johnson waited to play this role, it’s almost certain that this upcoming movie won’t be the only project in which we’ll watch him as Black Adam.

Black Adam is set to introduce not only a titular anti-hero in DCEU, but also a whole Justice Society of America. Pierce Brosnan is set to debut as Doctor Fate, and the movie also stars Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell as Maxine Hunkel/Cyclone, and Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz.

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Black Adam is set to be released on October 21, 2022.

Ms. Marvel Season 2 Possibility Addressed By MCU Show's Writer

Ms. Marvel writer addresses whether or not the limited MCU series could receive a season 2. Since the launch of Disney+, Marvel Studios has been granted yet another platform to help expand the MCU through the small screen. Following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, Marvel has focussed on some of the franchise's so-far supporting established heroes, with original Avengers like Tony Stark/Iron Man, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, and Steve Rogers/Captain America having ended their arcs. Now, the MCU is now also paving the way for the next generation of heroes, including Hawkeye's Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova, and Kamala Khan in Ms. Marvel.

Even though Kamala has been featured in multiple animated projects, the teenage hero made her live-action MCU debut this week in the Disney+ original Ms. Marvel. Starring Iman Vellani as the titular heroine, Ms. Marvel follows the story of Kamala, a Pakistani-American teenager from Jersey City who has been a Captain Marvel super-fan for years. While wishing to be an Avenger herself, Kamala one day discovers she has superpowers of her own, setting her on a path to become one of the MCU's newest heroes. Ms. Marvel episode 1 aired yesterday on Wednesday, June 8.




While Ms. Marvel is currently eyed as a limited series, its chances of a potential season 2 have now been addressed. During an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Ms. Marvel show writer Sana Amanat was asked about the status of the show's future beyond season 1. While Amanat confirms that Ms. Marvel was intended for a single season to set up the character's appearance in The Marvels, there are hopes for a Ms. Marvel season 2:

"I hope there are. I mean, it is laid out as a limited series for her to go off and do other things. It certainly establishes her [as a] hero. She will be going into Marvels next, so that's kind of there. I hope we get a Season 2 is all I'm going to say! I hope we're a part of that."

Ms. Marvel season 1 has a six-episode order, similar to other MCU shows on the Disney+ platform. However, as Amanat points out, after the events of her own show, Vellani is set to reprise the role of Ms. Marvel in the Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels. Directed by Nia DaCosta, The Marvels will unite Kamala with Brie Larson's Carol Danvers and Teyonah Parris' Monica Rambeau. Given the writer's comments, it seems that the current plan is for Ms. Marvel to function as a standalone origin story for Kamala, but there may be room to continue her solo narrative.

Even though Ms. Marvel may only be planned for season 1, a season 2 certainly can't be ruled out. Loki, another MCU show that was originally a Disney+ limited series, scored a renewal and is currently filming its second installment. Similar to Loki season 1 when it debuted, Ms. Marvel has already been a critical hit with press and audience members, though Marvel Studios will likely be analyzing the ratings data before making a decision on its future. Depending on the events of Ms. Marvel season 1, there are a lot of directions that Kamala's story could go in down the road. As the show is set during Kamala's high school years, future Ms. Marvel seasons could explore how Vellani's new MCU hero balances her responsibilities as a superhero, or the fallout of the yet-to-be-released The Marvels.

New Teaser Unveils Tonko House’s Famed Staff for ‘Oni: Thunder God’s Tale’

Best known for The Dam Keeper, an Oscar-nominated short film released in 2014, the animation studio, Tonko House, has just revealed glimpses of its upcoming project.

Oni: The Thunder God’s Tale is a CGI animated series from the independent studio and is already making headlines after its recent announcement.

Netflix has just posted a new trailer for Oni: Thunder God’s Tale, which will receive four episodes. Tonko House is also collaborating with Japanese studios Megalix VFX, Marza, and Anima.

So, without further ado, let’s check out the latest teaser, which frankly bowled me over with its animation:



Right off the bat, the Japanese monster or yokai theme of the series stands predominant. You can see yokai like kappa, tengu, oni, and others in the teaser.

As the plot progresses, the Tengu identifies himself as the protector of the land and stands against an Oni, a monster who seems to be the antagonistic force in the animation.

The tengu summons someone he addresses as ‘her.’ This might be the protagonist of the film, Onari, a free-spirited monster who has yet to discover her unique powers.

Daisuke Tsutsumi, the art director of many Disney and Pixar works, is the project’s creator and showrunner. Mari Okada, the scriptwriter of works like A Whisker Away, Her Blue Sky, and many such incredible works, is also involved in the series. There’s no doubt that Oni is here to grab your attention and never let go.

The teaser for Oni: Thunder God’s Tale has a unique animation style that made me fall in love with it at first sight, and I can’t wait to see how the Tonko House plays with Japanese folklore to give them a new finish.
