A deleted scene from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is offering more insight into the fate of its main villain, Chukwudi Iwuji’s High Evolutionary. In the film, we thought the High Evolutionary was perhaps as good as dead since he was left behind by Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Raccoon on his ship on the brink of destruction. However, a new scene is revealing that the villain’s fate may be worse than death, after all, since it seems he has been relegated to a cage on the planet Knowhere, much like the terrible conditions he…

Image via Marvel Studios The MCU is usually considered to be very family-friendly. You can take the kids on a trip to the theatre and be safe in the knowledge that if a Marvel film is playing, it should be suitable. Until you start to think about the fate of the villains. Heroes for the most part survive their stories (though not always, RIP Iron Man and Black Widow), but the villains very rarely make it out alive. Marvel films are almost always action films. There are fight scenes, and the heroes sometimes get…

Screengrab via Netflix Netflix’s fantasy purge is almost guaranteed to set its sights on Shadow and Bone next, and fan fears are mounting as the day of reckoning approaches. Fans of the series have been fighting for a renewal since its second season dropped, but considering the wealth of quality fantasy content the streamer has already axed, Shadow and Bone’s prospects aren’t looking great.  Just ask Warrior Nun, a far more popular fantasy offering that was canceled late last year.
