  • Black Panther Series is coming to Disney Plus

    Black Panther Series is coming to Disney Plus

    The Walt Disney Company has announced that a new Disney+ series is in development based on the Kingdom of Wakanda to be helmed by “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler.

    The TV series set in the “Black Panther” kingdom of Wakanda will be developed as part of a five-year, exclusive television deal the Walt Disney Co. announced Monday.

    Coogler wrote and directed 2018’s “Black Panther,” a box-office hit that turned Chadwick Boseman into a superstar. Chadwick died in August of cancer.

    “Ryan Coogler is a singular storyteller whose vision and range have made him one of the standout filmmakers of his generation,” Bob Iger, executive chairman of The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement. “With Black Panther, Ryan brought a groundbreaking story and iconic characters to life in a real, meaningful and memorable way, creating a watershed cultural moment. We’re thrilled to strengthen our relationship and look forward to telling more great stories with Ryan and his team.”

    Coogler is currently working on a follow-up to “Black Panther,” which is set to be released July 8, 2022.

    Marvel Studios and Disney announced back in December that the role played by the late Chadwick Boseman would not be recast and, instead, the companies would move forward with a sequel that would “honor the legacy” that the actor helped build.

  • Disney World will Still Require Masks for Vaccinated Guests

    Disney World will Still Require Masks for Vaccinated Guests

    Friday, Disney World updated its mask policy to specify that guests who have received the COVID-19 vaccine are still required to wear a mask.

    “Face coverings are required for all Guests (ages 2 and up) and Cast Members, including those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine,” Disney World’s website now states.

    “Please bring your own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when dining or swimming,” the website reads. “You may remove your face covering while actively eating or drinking, but you must be stationary and maintain appropriate physical distancing.”

    The theme park’s requirement is in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance, which states that people who have gotten two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, whether from Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna, still need to avoid close contact with others and wear a mask.

    The vaccine helps protect the patient from getting COVID-19, but it is not yet clear whether vaccination will protect people from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people, according to the CDC.

    Characters from ‘The Mandalorian Could be Headed to Galaxy’s Edge Replacing Sequel Trilogy Characters

    Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney World could be getting new characters including a few from the hit Disney+ series The Madalorian.

    Currently Galaxy’s Edge is centered on the events and characters from the sequel trilogy, but it looks like Disney is ready to expand the experience to include other characters.

    According to Disney historian Jim Hill, on the most recent episode of his Disney Dish podcast, characters from The Mandalorian may soon roam freely in Galaxy’s Edge. Hill states that The Mandalorian, The Child, and characters like Boba Fett and Bo Katan, could soon make appearances at Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu.

    Hill also indicated that Kylo Ren’s ship could be replaced by Mando’s ship. the Razor Crest. Regardless of the ship’s destruction in The Mandalorian season 2, the Razor Crest was also a key part of the show.

    The 14-acre Star Wars-themed land can be found at both Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Although the Disneyland version remains closed pending Disneyland Resort’s reopening following its pandemic-related closure, Disney World’s version of Galaxy’s Edge has been open — at limited capacity and with a variety of health and safety protocols — since July.

  • Disney Considering Bringing Johnny Depp Back For Pirates Of The Caribbean After Online Petitions

    Disney Considering Bringing Johnny Depp Back For Pirates Of The Caribbean After Online Petitions

    Johnny Depp’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is once again reportedly being “considered” by Disney.

    The studio is considering the move “following a furious backlash from his fanbase,” according to Express.

    After Depp was reportedly dropped from the billion dollar Disney franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean, last year, following his public libel court case against a British newspaper, news reports are emerging which claim a 180 from the studio is being considered about his future in the Pirates series.

    The report states “Disney is re-considering the actor’s revival in their franchise,” following the enormous online petition that calls for his return.

    The report goes on to add: “Rumours are rife that the Change.org petitions have forced the makers to reconsider.”

    The petition in question arrived last year, and was titled: “We want JOHNNY DEPP back as CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW.” Since it arrived online, it has racked up a over 430,000 signatures.

    Integrating Jack Sparrow back into the series will not be too difficult for the company. He was last seen alive and well in the fifth movie, Salazar’s Revenge, which came out in 2017.

    In fact, the film also seemed to be kicking off yet another trilogy, set ten years after the franchise’s previous trio of films, as Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) was haunted by the ghoul Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) once again.

    New Donut Grilled Cheese Now at Disney World has Fans Divided

    New tastey treats are common place at Disney World, but now the ideas are just getting cheesy… In a good way! You can now get a grilled cheese sandwiches made with doughnut buns at Disney Springs.

    The item can currently be found on the menu at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, which opened in the Disney Springs dining and shopping district earlier this month. The shop, which primarily sells doughnuts and coffee, also has a section of the menu dedicated to sandwiches — and each can be served on a “griddled glazed doughnut” instead of a bun for just $1 extra.

    “Thought Mom made you a pretty mean grilled cheese sammie growing up? Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet!” wrote Everglazed in a post showcasing the sandwich as you can see below:

    Disney World fans, many of whom are very willing to voice their opinions on the park’s latest foods, had plenty to say. Many called the unusual combo “disgusting” or a “heart attack” waiting to happen.

    Some Disney World lovers did seem excited about the strange item, which falls in line with the recent trend of fast food chains selling sandwiches and burgers with donut buns.

    In addition to its grilled cheese, Everglazed currently serves breakfast sandwiches, a burger, and even a chicken sandwich with optional doughnut buns.

    The doughnut shop also offers “hand-crafted flavored milks” and spiked coffees, as well as — oh, right — actual doughnuts that can be eaten sans-cheese or burger patty.
