All Movies Are Now Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.....

Burbank, CA - With the release of Dear Evan Hansen: Iron Man Returns, Hollywood studios are gambling on the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to boost ticket sales after a nearly two year slump.

"It's all part of the MCU now," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explained. "All of it."

Going forward, each and every movie produced by major American studios, and many independent production companies, will feature popular characters from the MCU and help to further the overall arc of Marvel's primary Phase Four line-up of movies and television programs. According to Feige, this deal was profitable for Marvel Studios and it's parent company Walt Disney Studios, but in the long run will save Hollywood. "Nobody was going to buy a ticket to see Dune. But Dune: Vision and the Scarlet Witch Have a Baby? Now that's a billion dollar movie!"

Solomon Grundy Refuses to Concede the California Recall Election.....

 Slaughter Swamp, CA- Despite a roughly 3 million vote victory for California residents uninterested in recalling Governor Gavin Newsom, Legion of Doom Director of Sustainability and Renewable Energy Solomon Grundy is refusing to concede defeat.

"There isn't any way that Grundy's refusal to concede makes sense in this election," statistician and professional election guesser Nate Silver explained. "He didn't even get the most votes among the potential replacement candidates, not even among Republicans. Still, I'm confident that this is going to work and that Grundy will be the new governor of California."

Grundy, a reanimated corpse fused with rotten swamp wood and powered by a mysterious elemental force has been a frequent nemesis of the Justice League while serving as auditor-controller for Los Angeles county since 2017. In addition to his refusal to concede, he is also calling for an audit of the recall election. "Solomon Grundy think election is fraudulent! Me think mail-in ballots are fake! Me have a cousin who is a lawyer!"

The Family Circus Movie Begins Production.....

Hollywood, CA- After years of delays, filming has finally begun on The Family Circus: The Movie.

"Yes, it's going to be hilarious," director Werner Herzog explained. "But I also want to explore the deep sadness in this family that has always been hidden under the surface."

Herzog, who directed the controversial movie adaptation of The Monster at the End of This Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover, plans to bring a unique vision to the film. Although initially released with a family friendly G rating, the director's cut of that movie was considered by many to be unnecessarily violent. Roger Ebert, one of the few critics who wrote a positive review, appreciated how Grover represented the monster in all of us and compared the movie favorably to Bergman's The Seventh Seal, stating that both films present a raw and unflinching depiction of the inevitability of "the end of one's own book".

The Family Circus often blends cartoonist Jeff Keane's sardonic wit and raging white nationalist beliefs

Known for pushing his actors to their limits, Herzog has stated that he will accept nothing less than perfection during production of The Family Circus: The Movie. He has also revealed that his film will remain true to its comic strip origins. "Yes, the circle. It's always there isn't it? Closing in on them. Suffocating them. They live in fear of it, don't they? And there is no escape."
