The WandaVision finale premiered and with it most of the series questions were answered. In typical Marvel fashion however, the two post-credits scenes left us with a few more.
Marvel/Disney+
First, the mid-credits scene belongs to Monica Rambeau. To no one’s surprise, given her mother’s history, a Skrull appears to the newly powered hero. She mentions an old friend of her mother’s wanting to see her up in space, and with what we know from the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home we can only guess that that old friend is Nick Fury.
Fury and Maria Rambeau go back to the Captain Marvel, days when Monica was a child, and there’s no doubt Fury is keeping an eye on everything from up above. He’s ready to get Photon on her way, and surely he’ll help her find her way to people who can help her learn about her powers.
It would be shocking to not see Monica in the Captain Marvel sequel set to release November 11, 2022.
For the first time of the series, there was a post-credits scene as well, this one featuring Wanda.
Marvel/Disney+
She’s holed up alone in the mountains, reading up on her powers from the Darkhold she stole from Agatha in an astral projection, but her physical form is wandering around a cabin. This cabin is likely in Transia, the home of Wundagore Mountain.
In the comics, Wundagore Mountain is monumental in the Maximoff history. The Maximoff’s backstory has changed throughout the decades, but it always links back to Wundagore Mountain. Most recently, Wanda discovered she actually isn’t the child of Magneto, but an orphan witch trained within the Mountain. It also the location the Darkhold was created — Wanda’s newly acquired text where she’ll be learning all about her powers and how to control them.
Transia and Wundagore Mountain are also where Billy and Tommy went searching for their mother after her disappearance out of shame from her antics in Avengers Disassembled and House of M (similar to those seen in WandaVision) in Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, so it’s only fitting that it is here that Wanda finds the disembodied spirits of her boys calling for her. (However, Wanda turns up in Latveria tangled with the villain Doctor Doom … will we see him soon?)
This scene seemingly wipes out the involvement of Mephisto in the twins creation, but Phase 4 and beyond is still searching for their big villain, so don’t count him out yet. Billy and Tommy may be being held by him now …
The boys’ callout leads for a few possibilities of Wanda’s involvement in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — whether the search for her children will be aided or abetted by the Sorcerer Supreme, and what doors she opens trying to find them with her newly acquired knowledge.
Each year, the Saturn Awards honor the best of sci-fi and fantasy in television and film, from our favorite superhero shows to the horror movies that scared us.

Palm Springs is a movie that implements the classic time-loop trope (think Groundhog Day or for you younger people, Edge of Tomorrow),but brings refreshing humor and romance to the table. The story follows Nyles (Samberg) and Sarah (Milioti) who have a chance meeting at a Palm Springs wedding and become stuck together in an infinite time loop. As Sarah comes to terms with being stuck, she begins to embrace Nyles’ carefree nihilistic attitude as the two fall for each other, wreaking havoc on the never-ending wedding celebration.
Best of luck to Palm Springs in this category! Make sure to check out our review of the movie here and stay tuned for more updates!

Season 2 of Apple’s beloved and hilarious comedy series Ted Lasso is on the way, and a new cast member has just been announced! I May Destroy You‘s Sarah Niles has been cast in a series regular role as Sharon, a sports psychologist that will be working with AFC Richmond.
Ted Lasso follows the story of an optimistic and dedicated man named Ted Lasso (portrayed by Jason Sudeikis), a US American football coach who’s hired to manage a struggling English football team in the UK. The show also stars Brendan Hunt, Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, and more.
Sudeikis recently took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Musical/Comedy Television Series at the Golden Globes, a well-deserved win for his portrayal of the heartwarming, inspiring, driven, biscuit-making man with a killer mustache.
The 46th Annual Saturn Awards nominations are upon us, honoring film and television series that were released/aired between July 15, 2019 and November 15, 2020. The Saturn Awards organization is the official awards group of The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films, a non-profit organization founded in 1972.
The hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys received two nominations. The Boys, which is based on the wicked comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, is set in a world where superheroes exist. That’s all fine and dandy, besides the fact that most of them are dicks. Some of the most vile can be found amongst The Seven, a group of celebrity Supes working under the villainous corporation Vought. The Boys, meanwhile, are a group of vigilantes that risk their lives to try to take them down once and for all.
The Boys was nominated for Best Superhero Adaptation Television Series, up against contenders including Batwoman, The Flash, Stargirl, Supergirl, The Umbrella Academy, and Watchmen.
Additionally, arguably the most pure Supe of them all — our very own Annie January aka Starlight was recognized as well! Erin Moriarty was nominated for Best Performance by a Younger Actor on a Television Series.
The Boys stars Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, and more. Supernatural fan favorite Jensen Ackles is set to join the cast for season 3, which is currently in production in Canada. Make sure to check out our episodic recaps and review of season 2, along with our features on Billy Butcher’s shirt collection and his most diabolical one-liners.
Stay tuned, as a date has not yet been set for the 2021 Saturn Awards ceremony, which will be held later this year.
Alfred Enoch made his name as Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter franchise before turning his sites to the theatre, a role on the popular television series How to Get Away With Murder, and is now set in his first starring role in a feature film Executive Order directed by Lázaro Ramos. Enoch is joined by international musical icon Seu Jorge and Taís Araújo a leading Brazilian actress in this timely and poignant film. Here’s more details on the film:
Set in a dystopian near future in Rio de Janeiro, a lawyer (Enoch) sues the Brazilian government for reparation of all descendants of African slaves in the country. The authoritarian regime responds by signing an executive order forcing all black citizens to move to Africa. While the army and police enforce martial law, he inspires an underground movement, enlisting his cousin (Jorge) and wife (Araújo). The three of them fight the madness that has taken over the country and spark a resistance that changes the nation.
Elo Company
Executive Order is the directorial debut for Ramos, one of Brazil’s most acclaimed actors who has received over 70 awards in his 20 years in the film industry. The message of the film is important as the world’s eyes are opened to the inequality so many still face even today.
On the timeliness of the film, Ramos says, “Politically – though it was unintended because it was written seven years ago – it dialogues with fundamental questions of today, latent questions of our country: racism, the way of expressing affection, the relationship between the law and the people’s desires, how we – Black people – want to be represented dramaturgically… It’s all there!”
Elo Company
Ramos also spoke on bringing together this powerhouse cast. On Enoch’s character he shared, “Alfred’s character is the one everybody thought I was supposed to play in the movie, but I didn’t want to act and direct it. During some time I searched for actors with particular features: heroism, idealism and, at the same, pave the way for the film out of Brazil. I’m conscious it’s a story that goes beyond borders. Alfred has those features. We passed one year talking to make it possible for him to come. It was definitely the right choice because his work and his dedication are moving.”
The film also includes musical icon Seu Jorge as André, Antonio’s cousin. Ramos states that, “At the same time, [Jorge’s] done only few characters that have this humorous tone. In great part of his movies, he plays dense characters. Since I know him personally, I knew he had this facet. For a film that blends genres to have the possibility of counting on an actor like this, dense and comic at the same time, was really what I needed.”
Elo Company
Ramos also spoke on casting his wife, Taís Araújo as Antonio’s missing wife: “Taís is one of the actresses I most admire. I say this in complete tranquility because before being my wife I’d already admired her. She’s intelligent, visceral and a great partner, in life and on screen.”
Executive Order debuts at SXSW on Tuesday, March 16.
