Is Zac Efron Going to Star in the Next Guardians of the Galaxy?

Is Zac Efron Going to Star in the Next Guardians of the Galaxy?

There are rumors flying about in the Marvel Universe that Zac Efron is in talks to have a starring role in the next Guardians of the Galaxy film. It’s rumored Efron will play Adam Warlock in the next installment to the Guardians franchise.

As James Gunn has promised, one new character coming to the franchise for this third installment will be Adam Warlock. The character was teased in the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but no actor has been announced.  Check out the artist rendering of Efron as Adam Warlock by BossLogic! It is an epic rendition of what the actor could look like in the role.

 

This is all still yet to be determined and as we know in the Marvel Universe, until its official…it’s just a rumor! What do you think of Efron in this role? Does he fit the part?

New Forky Merchandise Now Available At The Disney Parks

Forky Merchandise

Forky Merchandise

Have you heard of Forky yet? Of course you have he’s been everywhere since he debuted in the Toy Story 4 teaser trailer. Now you can collect the latest Forky Merchandise now available at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Forky Merchandise

The new Forky inspired merchandise includes a special plush, apparel and even a MagicBand! Don’t worry none of these will be disposable. The plush is especially cute, and even has “Bonnie” written on the bottom of his popsicle stick feet.

New Forky Merchandise Now Available At The Disney Parks

Forky doesn’t think he’s  toy, or that he even belonds in Bonnie’s room, because he’s an actual spork-turned-craft-project. As we can see by this shirt, he just wants to be a fork! Honestly though, doesn’t he realize he was never fork, but a spork? Silly silly Forky!

Forky Merchandise

The new MagicBand will only be available at the Walt Disney World Resort. It comes in a collector’s edition box, and has a limited edition of 3,500. You can look for this toy-tastic MagicBand at select locations in Walt Disney World beginning June 21st.

We don’t know very much about Forky, but he is already an instant fan favorite! He’s become so popular I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Forky Minnie Ears in the future. There is already a Funko POP! Vinyl FigureNew Forky Merchandise Now Available At The Disney Parks devoted to him.

Will you be collecting the new Forky Merchandise from the Disney Parks?

You better watch out you bad boys! Looks like Darkwing is back to save the day!

We will also get a cameo from Darkwing Duck’s creator, Tad Stones who will be voicing a security guard named, well, Tad.

“I’m a giant fan of the new DuckTales series and am super excited that they are building a universe that connects new versions of the Disney Afternoon shows, including Darkwing Duck,” Stones tells EW. “Matt and Frank took me through their ideas for Darkwing’s presence in DuckTales and I am thrilled that they are keeping the heart of the character while building an even richer backstory. Darkwing couldn’t be in better hands.”

The Simpsons Are Coming to Disney’s Freeform and Disney+

The Simpsons Are Coming to Disney's Freeform and Disney+

The Simpsons Are Coming to Disney’s Freeform and Disney+. Don’t worry though, you can still find The Simpsons on Fox.

Freeform welcomes the Simpson family as America’s longest-running sitcom and will begin to air on the network starting this September. Viewers will be able to enjoy episodes from all 30 seasons of the dysfunctional and hilarious adventures of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the array of quirky supporting characters living in the misfit city of Springfield.

The Simpsons Are Coming to Disney's Freeform and Disney+

Currently in its 30th season, “The Simpsons” is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Matt Groening and developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Sam Simon. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean are executive producers. Air dates will be announced at a later date.

The Simpsons Are Coming to Disney's Freeform and Disney+

The Simpsons has been picked up by Fox for a 31st and 32nd season and will air new episodes on its home channel, FOX. Freeform will air previous episodes of the long running series from the first 30 seasons. With such a spread of episode to choose from, the two networks [Disney and Fox] do not feel the channels will compete for viewers since they are targeted at different demographics and audiences.

You can also watch the first 30 seasons of The Simpsons anytime via Disney+ when it launches in November 2019.
