The first official poster for the upcoming fifth Scream film shows the infamous Ghostface killer back for yet another killing spree. The new film is set to arrive in January of the new year and so far very little is known about either the film or its plot. It’s been a decade since the last installment in the slasher horror franchise arrived, and while Scream 4 wasn’t much of a financial success at the box office, it did provide new possibilities for future sequels.

Scream 4 also marked the last outing in the series for iconic horror filmmaker Wes Craven. After his death in 2015 at the age of 76, many Scream fans felt that the franchise had at last reached its final conclusion. The idea of anyone else but Craven, who directed every installment since the series kicked off in 1996, taking over was practically beyond consideration. But when Paramount made the decision to bring on directing duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the pair’s love for the franchise and everything that Craven had done with it enabled them to convince series star Neve Campbell to return. From that point onward, Scream (2022) has been building into something that fans remain somewhat clueless about yet extremely excited all the same.

Though very little is still known about the latest Scream film, a new poster has now arrived, courtesy of the official Scream Twitter account. Featuring nothing more than a terrifying close-up of Ghostface wielding his familiar bowie knife beneath the tagline “It’s always someone you know,” the poster continues with the new film’s efforts at keeping everything it can under wraps. This isn’t to say that the poster isn’t an impressive one, however, creating fear and excitement with one very simple image. Check it out below:

Without giving anything at all away about Scream, the new poster does offer what could be one very tiny clue. By stating that the killer (or killers) is once again someone we know, there is perhaps the chance that the new film will bring back a character (or characters) from one of the previous installments, i.e., Stu and Billy. Recently, both Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich insisted that their characters are still very much alive within the Scream universe. Of course, neither actor is listed in the current cast for Scream (2022), but given Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s determination to thwart spoilers at all costs, it’s not hard to imagine a spoiler as monumental as casting Lillard and Ulrich being hidden until the film’s release.

But of course, Scream fan knows that simply saying that the killer is “always someone you know” doesn’t necessarily mean a return of previously introduced characters. The series has thrived by introducing new characters in each new chapter, so there’s every possibility that the killer(s) in Scream (2022) will be characters that have been introduced within that film. Still, there are likely very few Scream fans who wouldn’t love to see Stu and Billy return after all these years.

John Bernthal addresses the fandom’s desire to see him return as the Punisher or play Wolverine, explaining what it would take for him to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Following his breakout role in AMC’s The Walking Dead and films like Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), Bernthal first appeared as Frank Castle aka The Punisher in season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil, before starring in a solo series from 2017-2019. Before the streamer canceled its Marvel shows, The Punisher, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones were considered some of the best comic book adaptations available.

Marvel Studios now exclusively owns the rights to characters like Frank Castle and Matt Murdock, and fans continue to speculate how/when the Punisher and Daredevil will appear in the MCU. The latter, in particular, has been at the center of this conversation with Charlie Cox rumored to appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home. If Cox’s character does appear, his Daredevil would presumably lead the charge on the implementation of other fan-favorites like Bernthal’s Punisher. This same genre of discourse applies to Disney’s acquisition of Fox, which brings the X-Men and Fantastic Four under the umbrella of Marvel Studios. If Bernthal doesn’t reprise his beloved role, fans have also expressed an interest in seeing him pick up Hugh Jackman’s claws.

In an interview with Forbes, Bernthal discussed his recent roles in Small Engine Repair, The Many Saints of Newark, FX/Hulu’s anthology series The Premise, and, of course, a recurring onslaught of Marvel-related questions. When asked about the Punisher appearing in the MCU, the actor expressed ignorance regarding any future plans but admitted he’d be open to reprising the role if it was done so in a way worthy of the character and fans, a sentiment consistent with his answer to whether he’d considered playing Logan/Wolverine. Read what he had to say below:

“Look, the criteria in which I sort of decide what I'm doing next is: Does the script move me?, Who am I working with?, Who is the filmmaker and is that somebody I'm dying to work with? I'm going to hold onto that moving forward no matter what that is. I get it, I get that the Marvel questions, you're asking these questions because it's super important to a lot of people; people love these characters and I get that and I come to that with absolute respect. What I will tell you again is that Frank Castle is in my bones. Frank Castle is in my bones.”

In the same interview, Bernthal talked about humbling an experience playing the Punisher was and how grateful he is for it. In addition to what Frank Castle means to the comic book, law enforcement, and military communities, the character resonants with Bernthal as a father and husband. Bernthal embodied the Punisher in a way similar to Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine. Despite success outside of those roles, many consider their iterations of comic book characters as definitive. That being said, both the Punisher and Wolverine will surely be seen in the MCU. However, it’s unlikely Bernthal, who is commonly associated with another Marvel character, will be cast to replace Jackman.

It would be a mistake if Marvel Studios didn’t capitalize on the enthusiasm that surrounds both Bernthal and Cox, who has also said he can’t imagine anyone else as Frank Castle. Regarding Bernthal’s criteria, the studio continues to hire some of the best talent in the industry and the days of believing a blood-soaked Punisher can’t exist in the MCU are over. It’s already been announced that an R-rated Deadpool 3 is in the works and that less family-friendly will release content on Hulu rather than Disney+. Claws and regenerative abilities aside, there’s still a chance Bernthal can bring his ferocious, heartbreaking, yet nuanced Punisher to the MCU in a film or series.

In a recent interview, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Evangeline Lilly discussed Marvel's Disney+ series, praising shows such as Loki and WandaVision. Lilly has portrayed the superhero Wasp across three films, including 2019's Avengers: Endgame, as well as reprising her role for Marvel's What If...? animated series. She is set to return alongside Paul Rudd's Scott Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in 2023.

Lilly first joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2015's Ant-Man as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer), who recruits Lang alongside Hank to stop her father's technology from falling into the wrong hands. She returned in 2017's Ant-Man and the Wasp to rescue her mother from the Quantum Realm before joining the fight against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame after being caught in the Blip. Lilly will return in the third Ant-Man film, having previously welcomed MCU newcomer Kathryn Newton to the franchise, who will star alongside Lilly as Cassie Lang, Scott Lang's daughter.

When talking to Collider about her role in the indie crime thriller South of Heaven, Lilly was asked whether she had been keeping up with other MCU releases on Disney+. Lilly replied that she keeps up to date both to understand the state of the universe and as a fan. Lily then praised both WandaVision and Loki, praising the former for its representation of a female character and the latter for its exploration of enormous topics such as Chaos Theory. Read Lilly's full response below:

"I have not seen all of it, and I do try. I see it as almost like homework. I need to know what's going on in the world. I need to understand when there's references made in scripts, I need to know what's going on. I'm also a fan of Marvel, as in I'm a fan of the filmmakers that are creating this incredible universe. I think they are the best superhero moviemakers I've ever witnessed... I think WandaVision was phenomenal, and I think it was probably the best they've ever represented a female character. It was so incredible to see her be so complicated and so flawed and yet so redeemable and so lovable, the way we have typically historically treated our male characters. I think it was an epic female protagonist story. I loved, loved the ending of the Loki TV show. They didn't fully have me till the end. I was like, "Okay. Okay, sure. Yeah. Okay. Good." But I wasn't like, "Oh my God, this an amazing show," until they got to the end. And I was like, "It's chaos theory. I love it. I love it. I love it."

Lilly's mentioning WandaVision and Loki specifically after stating she keeps up to date with the universe is interesting, as both series established elements for the MCU's future. Jonathan Majors will join Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as villain Kang the Conqueror, who was first introduced in Loki as a variant of He Who Remains. Before that, WandaVisision laid the groundwork for Wanda's involvement with the multiverse, a concept first teased in the Ant-Man films through the Quantum Realm.

Hearing Lilly discussing how she views the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a fan is interesting, but it also makes sense that she keeps up to date with events in other projects in case they impact stories she may be involved in. Like Loki and WandaVision, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will introduce key aspects for future MCU storylines. Not only will Quantumania introduce Kang fully to the MCU, but will introduce another member of the Young Avengers through Cassie, who later became the hero Stature on the team in the comics. This follows WandaVision and Loki; the former introduced Wanda's twin children Billy and Tommy, who would become the heroes Wiccan and Speed. The latter introduced a younger variant of the titular anti-hero, all of which are featured on the Young Avengers team in the comics. With each series and the third Ant-Man film laying the groundwork for the MCU's future, it is exciting to see what other future projects will share similar elements.

A dedicated and talented fan perfectly recreates Starro's face-suckers in this excellent The Suicide Squad cosplay. The most recent installment in the ever-evolving DCEU, James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, arrived in theaters and on HBO Max in August. Acting as a quasi-sequel, quasi-reboot of the 2016 Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer, Gunn's movie introduced a new Task Force X, then made good on its title by offing a large number of its members. Overall, The Suicide Squad was greeted with positive reviews from fans and critics, but disappointed a bit at the box office upon its debut.

Nevertheless, The Suicide Squad managed to establish itself as one of the best superhero movies of the year. Part of that was due to its eccentric characters, which included the odd villain Starro. An alien that resembles a giant starfish, Starro was revealed to be the mysterious Project Starfish that the Suicide Squad was tasked with destroying. Though he might seem like a silly bad guy, Starro proved to be quite terrifying thanks to the face-suckers he would emit, which, when attached to a human body, would immediately take control of the person.

Fan artist Jose Madera set himself to the task of recreating one of Starro's face-suckers for a new cosplay, and the final result is nothing short of incredible. In a recent social media post, Madera broke down the process behind making the realistic face-sucker and revealed plenty of pictures as well. It seems to fit perfectly on his face, though it still looks awesome even when it isn't attached. Check it out below.

This could easily be the perfect Halloween costume for this year, though one has to wonder just how well Madera can see with it on. Nevertheless, Gunn would likely be very impressed by this fan creation, and those who have seen The Suicide Squad must feel unsettled by the sight of it. Starro was a unique choice to be one of the villains of The Suicide Squad, but thanks to Gunn's careful approach to characters, he became one of the highlights.

With so many colorful characters, The Suicide Squad has provided plenty of opportunities for unique fanworks, including art and other cosplays. The movie has already received a spin-off in the form of Peacemaker, the HBO Max series set to arrive in January. It will focus on John Cena's patriotic anti-hero from The Suicide Squad, and it will surely yield even more creative pieces from fans. If they're anything like Madera's face-suckers, they'll be pretty special.
