The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Will Introduce New MCU Heroes

Last year James Gunn teased that the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special would feature the introduction of one of the “great new Marvel characters”, which led to a lot of fan speculation about just who that would be. Now the writer/director has gone one step further to suggest that more than one Marvel hero will be making their first MCU appearance in the Disney+ show this December. Along with his expectation-setting suggestion that this is the “best thing he’s ever done”, the special is already getting more hype than the third Guardians movie that follows it.

Ethan Hawke Didn’t Read The Script Before Signing Up For Moon Knight

Ethan Hawke is playing the antagonist Arthur Harrow in the upcoming Disney+ original, Moon Knight, which is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This role is Hawke’s first venture into a superhero project, wherein he’ll be sharing the screen with Oscar Isaac, who plays the titular cult vigilante from the Marvel Comics. While Hawke is known for his eccentric roles in several independent films, as well as is a prolific writer; however, in surprising revelation from Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab, it turns out the actor never read the show’s script.
