Disney+ and Marvel Studios Release “The Zemo Cut” of ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘ and Fans are LOVING it. *Spoiler Alert: This post discusses aspects of the 3rd Episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. If you wish to avoid spoilers, we suggest you stop reading past this point. Thank-you!
In a joking response to “The Snyder Cut” release of DC’s Justice League, Marvel fans took to the internet asking for “The Zemo Cut” after the premiere of the latest episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier revealed an fan favorite moment involving Baron Helmut Zemo navigating a dance floor during an art auction hosted by Sharon Carter in Madripoor. Needless to say, the entire scene is bonkers and a near 180′ from the characters we last saw in Captain America: Civil War. Marvel fans were especially appreciative of the scene in question when Zemo gives a fist bump to the beat of the music, making it the next Marvel Meme of 2021 (Sorry, Agatha Harkness).
Disney+ and Marvel Studios wasted no time to honor fans wishes and posted an hour long video of “The Zemo Cut” for the episode, which only caused the internet to go wild once again. Check out “The Zemo Cut” in the video posted below:

In case you missed the news. Disney has just confirmed that Club Cool would be returning to Epcot this Summer!
Here are the details:
Adjacent to the new Creations Shop will be a revitalized Club Cool Hosted by Coca-Cola, which will also open this summer. This will celebrate Coca-Cola in a fresh new way, while keeping the fan-favorite experience that invites you to explore tasty drinks from around the world. This space will also have some new magic to bring the global experience of Coca-Cola to life for you.
Creations Shop features a bold, sleek design that creates a perfect showcase for the rich variety of items you’ll find as part of your EPCOT experience. It will be an open, bright, welcoming environment with huge glass walls that allow sunlight to pour in and make you feel like you’re in touch with nature even while indoors. We are using color, materials and light in new ways with some unique EPCOT touches that connect back to this park’s storied past while looking to the future.
Are you excited for Club Cool to return to Epcot? I for one loved visiting Club Cool and trying all of the Coco-Cola beverages from around the World!
Hamilton Star Renee Elise Goldsberry Joins the Cast of Marvel’s ‘She-Hulk’ Series. You may know her as Angelica Schuyler from the hit musical Hamilton, but get ready to meet Renee Elise Goldsberry as “Amelia” in the new Disney+ and Marvel Studios series, She-Hulk!
Goldsberry will star alongside Tatiana Maslany (Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk), Tim Roth (Emil Blonsky/Abomination), Ginger Gonzalez (unspecified) and reportedly The Hulk himself, Mark Ruffalo. It is currently unknown if Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk/Bruce Banner will merely appear in a cameo style role, reoccurring role, or as a main character in the She-Hulk series. It is also unknown if the series will follow the same storylines as the comics for Jennifer/She-Hulk’s origin story.

According to ComicBook.com, “She-Hulk is going to follow Jennifer Walters, who is the cousin of Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk. Jennifer, a lawyer, gets a blood transfusion from Bruce, which ultimately gives her similar powers. Unlike most versions of the Hulk, however, Jennifer remains intelligent and in control when she hulks out.”
Disney just announced a New Creations Shop & Club Cool opening in Epcot this Summer!
Here are the details:
This summer will mark another big step when Disney unveils the new flagship merchandise location, called Creations Shop this will replace Mouse Gears.
Creations Shop features a bold, sleek design that creates a perfect showcase for the rich variety of items you’ll find as part of your EPCOT experience. It will be an open, bright, welcoming environment with huge glass walls that allow sunlight to pour in and make you feel like you’re in touch with nature even while indoors. We are using color, materials and light in new ways with some unique EPCOT touches that connect back to this park’s storied past while looking to the future.
As you can see in this new artist concept rendering*, there’s a large mural of Mickey Mouse along one of the shop’s walls. We were inspired by Mickey as our subject for creativity – but this is Mickey like you’ve never seen him before. You’ll discover original homages to him throughout the space, including large, dynamic murals and new artist expressions that showcase the global, contemporary icon that Mickey has become for generations around the world. We are excited to feature this art program – completely original works that will live on in this space – as a testament to the park’s ability to inspire the dreamer in all of us.
Disney’s goal is for Creations Shop to be more than a place to pick up a memento of your time at EPCOT – we want your every moment with us to be an experience worthy of the park’s vision and tradition. The products you’ll find here will extend Disney storytelling and allow you to bring that experience home with you, all while encouraging you to explore your own expressiveness and creativity.
Adjacent to the shop will be a revitalized Club Cool Hosted by Coca-Cola, which will also open this summer. This will celebrate Coca-Cola in a fresh new way, while keeping the fan-favorite experience that invites you to explore tasty drinks from around the world. This space will also have some new magic to bring the global experience of Coca-Cola to life for you.
Opening Creations Shop and Club Cool will be an important milestone in our ongoing transformation of the park. These fun and energetic locations will continue the reimagining of what will soon be a new neighborhood at the entrance and center of the park, called World Celebration. Late last year we unveiled a new fountain at the main entrance, followed this spring by new flags, lighting and music that further re-energize your entry into EPCOT. Creations Shop extends that forward momentum, and we can’t wait for you to step inside for the first time this summer.

The Vista Way apartment complex near Walt Disney World is up for sale on the market. For years, the complex was used as housing for Disney College Program participants.
Disney’s decision to sell Vista Way comes as no surprise. Especially since Disney recently opened Flamingo Crossings Village, a new housing complex just west of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The housing complex, available to Disney employees, is part of the larger Flamingo Crossing mixed-use development, which will also feature a number of restaurants and retail stores.
Vista Way is on Meadow Creek Drive near State Road 535 and Interstate 4. The housing complex is well known to many since those in the Disney College Program could live here. The apartment complex features two- and three-bedroom units, two resort-style pools, two clubhouses, and a state-of-the-art fitness center among its amenities. According to the Orange County Property Appraiser’s website, the property’s market value is around $63 million.
New Deal Will Allow Netflix to Stream Sony Titles Such as Spider-Man, Venom, Jumanji, and More in 2022. This week, a new agreement was struck between Netflix and Sony Pictures that will bring big name titles to the popular streaming service next year. Films from franchises such as Spider-Man, Venom, Jumanji, and more will be offered on Netflix beginning in 2022, with a select number of titles from Sony’s “movie vault” making their way to Netflix as well. Sony And Netflix have yet to announce which older titles will join the Netflix roster.
The new deal “requires Netflix to commit to a certain number of titles from the studio, but it doesn’t stop Sony from selling direct-to-streaming titles to Netflix’s rivals. And Netflix will license an unspecified number of older titles from Sony’s movie vault.”
“Sony Pictures is a great partner and we are thrilled to expand our relationship through this forward-thinking agreement,” Netflix global film head Scott Stuber shared in a statement featured by Variety. “This not only allows us to bring their impressive slate of beloved film franchises and new IP to Netflix in the U.S., but it also establishes a new source of first-run films for Netflix movie lovers worldwide.”
“Netflix has been a terrific partner as we continue to expand our relationship,” Keith Le Goy, SPE’s president of worldwide distribution and networks expressed. “At Sony Pictures, we produce some of the biggest blockbusters and the most creative, original films in the industry. This exciting agreement further demonstrates the importance of that content to our distribution partners as they grow their audiences and deliver the very best in entertainment.”

Gideon’s Bakehouse is at it again with its Flavors of Florida in April. This time you had to be “in the know” or at least a follower of Gideon’s Instagram account, which some of us will refresh a few times a day to see what is going on.
Just say the phrase “Alligator Tracks” when visiting Gideon’s at @DisneySprings today, and you can scoop a homemade Orange Zest Ice Cream filled with Toasted Almonds and Dark Chocolate Chunks on top of a Cookie of your choice, though, of course, it’s meant to pair with Stuart’s Cookie!
Ok seriously Gideon’s, we get it, your cookies are amazing. Now pairing it with ice cream is only going to get me in trouble with fans of ChipandCo.com with the over-the-top reviews, and my family for dragging them through Disney Springs at a moment’s notice. We all have that one place we have to go when visiting Walt Disney World Resorts, mine is Gideon’s. I am sure some people are sighing and wanting to rage post at my love of Gideon’s and that is fine, I can take it! For all you haters reading this, Gideon’s are the best cookie in Orlando! I have decided my new nickname for the over-the-top reviews, like this one, is Gidiot’s! Please, ma’am, use that made-up word in a sentence. Ok, I will…
I am a Gidiot for constantly going early to get in line before the virtual queue happens, even knowing I could drive the extra 25 minutes to the East End Market.
Take a First Look at Jude Law’s Captain Hook in Disney’s ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’. Fans have eagerly awaited a first look at the cast of Disney’s Peter Pan & Wendy live-action film and it seems someone has been spotted in costume on set! Though we are excited to see the entire cast in costume, the only cast member to be found was Captain Hook himself, Jude Law. Jude sneakily hid either a prosthetic hook or green screened right hand from the camera, but we can’t wait to see the Cap’n in his full regalia!
Based on J. M. Barrie’s novel “Peter and Wendy” and inspired by the 1953 animated Disney classic, “Peter Pan & Wendy” is the timeless tale of a young girl who, defying her parents’ wishes to attend boarding school, travels with her two younger brothers to the magical Neverland. There, she meets a boy who refuses to grow up, a tiny fairy and an evil pirate captain, and they soon find themselves on a thrilling and dangerous adventure far, far away from their family and the comforts of home.
The film stars Jude Law as Captain Hook; Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell; Ever Anderson as Wendy; Alexander Molony as Peter Pan; Molly Parker as Mrs. Darling; Alan Tudyk as Mr. Darling; newcomers Joshua Pickering as John; Jacobi Jupe as Michael and Alyssa Wapanatâhk as Tiger Lily; and Jim Gaffigan as Smee.
Peter Pan & Wendy is directed by David Lowery (“Pete’s Dragon”) and produced by Jim Whitaker (“Pete’s Dragon”). “Peter Pan & Wendy” will premiere on Disney+ in 2022. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney!
