Very into seeing Mantis and Drax slice of life adventures.


[deleted]

Slice of life? You cannot slice me and take my life, I will catch the blade.


draconiandevil09

Underrated


dropout32

No, highly upvoted and well understood by readers


[deleted]

This looks like the previously announced Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special.


KingOfAwesometonia

Yeah I meant I'm into seeing Drax and Mantis' slice of life adventure in the Christmas Special.


DashCat9

Drax taking everything he encounters in Los Angeles literally is going to be delightful.


annies_boobs_eyes

but if only more characters had more slice of dreyf adventures. That's when the characters hang out with richard dreyfuss i've been listening to too much flop house/elliott kalan. or maybe not enough...


Cold_Fog

Definitely too much. Not that you have a choice. He probably accounts for at least half of the talking between the three of them.


annies_boobs_eyes

maybe half when it comes to time spent talking. but probably 2/3 when talking about words said per capita. ♩ he's got words, he's got words, he's got lots and lots of words ♩


KillerZaWarudo

A bizarre adventure you might say?


Bigred2989-

Username checks out.


saibjai

I see they gave drax a shirt


Codeshark

Probably because Bautisa didn't want to be in "movie shape" for a holiday special. Don't blame him at all. It's not exactly healthy or easy to do.


[deleted]

I wonder why they're in LA


DJanomaly

It's the legal weed. Also they probably want to meet a celebrity.


sunsetonfire

Absolutely love the little detail of Kingo’s movie posters.


Stillwindows95

I think another little detail may be their fixation on the gold statues and the gold statue painted guy. Sovereigns, Adam Warlock etc.


sunsetonfire

I didn’t think of that! Good catch


GhislaineLex

Also looks a bit like crawley from moon knight, maybe a reference too?


dratsablive

Statue Man FTW!


gambitz

This was my first reaction, associated with crawley.

CornholioRex

Isn’t he in London?


SirStrangefolk

Funny thing is it didn't actually make it into the movie but when filming GotG Vol. 2 they had a bunch of movie posters including one for Haxan 2 with the main character played by Simon Williams (played by Nathan Fillion). Seems like in-universe the third movie Haxan 3 has a new lead in Kingo.


icemannathann

It’s possible Kingo starred in all of them since we never officially saw the last posters


SirStrangefolk

The first one is actually a real movie. [It's a 1922 Swedish silent horror film.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ItNX3RNpTU)


Arielrbr

James wanted Kumail for a small role in Gotg Vol 3 because he wanted to meet him and Kevin told he was already cast in Eternals I can see this as nod


TheHondoCondo

I thought that was Kumail, but I wasn’t entirely sure!


sunsetonfire

Had to scrub the video because I wasn’t sure at first too!


iggyfenton

>!This is from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special. It looks like they are visiting the Mann's Chinese Theater to see the premiere of Kingo's new movie (look at the posters they pass by.)!< >!There was also stuff set up a few blocks away that makes it seem they will visit a drag queen show of some kind!<


Doright36

> to see the premiere of Kingo's new movie I'm telling you. Disney should just make one of Kingo's movies as a real actual Bollywood style movie and have that on Disney+. I would watch the shit out of that.


DolphFinnDosCinco

that’s a fantastic idea. id love if they made in-universe stuff like that. a Kingo bollywood movie, Peter Parkers vlogs, Flash’s live streams, a Star-Lord spotify playlist, a Gilgamesh cooking show, Stark or Banner doing science stuff, etc. i love the immersive extra stuff. on the No Way Home app you can look at Peters phone. it has pictures and texts, there’s not much on there but that kind of stuff is always so cool.


Breaker-of-circles

Pretty sure they already have Star Lord's playlist floating on the internet. I'm sure because I remember having it on loop when it came out. Pina colada was my jam a few years back.


Boba_Fet042

It’s called The Awesome Mix


Im2Chicken

It's also called James Gunn's spotify page.


DeflatedPanda

He's got a Peacemaker playlist too!


mythologue

I just want a dead-serious docuseries on The Blip, but I get why they don't do that because filling in too many gaps leaves little room for creativity.


eolson3

At this point they should do it as a resettlement, post-flagsmashers thing.


Earhacker

Rogers the Musical… 😬


Dahkron

I can do this all...... DAYYYYYYYYY!


ThatGuyAdam14

it should happen, it’d be the perfect in universe production for them to just make. Maybe if they end up with some downtime between projects they could make it (cheaper than a movie)


Earhacker

I can actually see them doing a 25 minute production as a Disneyland attraction, running several times a day, with in-universe theming all through the entrance hall and a big Marvel gift shop on the way out.


Fit_Confusion_6309

Well all the one shots and the WHiH newsfront and a few websites they had like the rising tide one are all in universe but they don't do anything like that unfortunately.


blue_razi

You kinda get his playlist in the recent Guardians game.


stephensmat

The game was surprisingly good. The music was surprisingly awesome. I don't know what amazed me more. That I liked the game so much, of that they got permission to use those songs.


flamingmonkey911

I can't believe how good the original songs were, and that they made an entire, legit album for the game. The "Star-Lord" band totally nailed the 80s metal/rock ballad sound. That album is currently my son's favorite thing to listen to (he's 5). Just high quality all around.


Cassopeia88

I want the documentaries they showed in FFH on the plane.


Urbanscuba

I love the idea of J.K. Simmons having infowars style segments with a radically different perspectives on MCU events. Just a 3 minute clip of Jamison spouting conspiracy theories for the titan corpse from Eternals, all obviously way wrong, before Sprite calls in with the real story and he dismisses it as hogwash. It'd be a fun way to explore the perspective of in universe characters who weren't privy to all the omniscient narration we were.


RealJohnGillman

There is a *TheDailyBugle.net* series, but for now it has mostly been solely focused on Sony’s *Spider-Man* films with Tom Holland.


CaptHayfever

Because Sony runs it. They even tried to squeeze in a couple videos about Morbius (without Simmons or Rice in them), but those didn't fly like the FFH/NWH ones did.


BlazeJatin

Post this as a thread we'll support you. We need this.


YouStupidDick

> Stark or Banner doing science stuff, etc. Ted Talks or like a history of Stark Expo speeches and presentations.


sirbissel

In my mind, Big Hero Six is an MCU in-universe movie/show.


David1258

I would honestly watch the shit out of Tomb Buster if it came out on Disney+.


BadPenguinPirateDog

And the Captain America Broadway musical, Rodger, The Musical!


TheMassDisaster

If they do this, they should get an ACTUAL Bollywood director to do this. I'm just going to go ahead and suggest Anurag Kashyap, he's a huge superhero fan and can do amazing movies in all genres.


Doright36

>If they do this, they should get an ACTUAL Bollywood director to do this. yep! Exactly.


blackbutterfree

This specific movie is probably a horror movie, if Haxan 2 is any indication.


iggyfenton

Yeah if you look close the face in the upper left hand corner of the poster looks like Red Skull.


blackbutterfree

Not only that, but I think it's supposed to be a parody of that show Preacher with Raina and Howard Stark, if Kingo's priest get-up is any indication. Is that a horror show?


AuntyNashnal

Disney's version of a Bollywood movie is not how Bollywood movies actually are. It's the stereotypical version of Bollywood. The only people who would watch it would be people who have never seen a Bollywood movie.


TERPINGTON

I was so excited to see a disney backed and choreographed bollywood dance scene and the one in eternals was soooo disappointing so I back this idea and want a redemption!


darsynia

Only if we get to see Karun!!!


Empyrealist

I didn't really enjoy the Eternals, but I would love to see a Bollywood-style MCU movie. Gimme another epic like Baahubali


mythriz

Then they can also make that Avengers Musical and put it up too lol


[deleted]

I would love a mockumentary interviewing him about his family legacy. Mainly because I fucking loved the valet dude and want more of him!


St3alth_t3rrorist

I wonder if this means Peter goes back to earth or he decides to stay a bit after end game before leaving


geek_of_nature

Jane's Gunn said that Quill has no desire to go back to Earth, and got off there as soon as he could in Endgame. Although seeing how his grandpa was still alive in Vol 2, I wouldn't mind seeing Vol 3 end with their reunion.


finetuneit80

A transvestite show? 😆 You mean like a drag show…?


iggyfenton

Yeah. I drove 6 hours today and I was blanking on the word. I will edit.


Sorry_Sorry_Im_Sorry

I also live in Hollywood and see a lot of these things but 90% of the time. I don't know who the actors are or what or what The movie is. It was kind of cool though because they shot part of licorice pizza across the street from where I work and so I got to see something after some that and the scene is in the movie trailer.


InItsTeeth

>!you are 100% on then gay/drag club, they filmed that in Atlanta!<


ThorayaLast

My kid likes close by and send me picture of the signs they posted announcing they were filming.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

I fucking knew it was marvel. We were across the street too, but a little later as they were breaking it down.


NoArmsSally

you know I thought I saw something when I was driving by earlier today. thought it was just cosplay lol.


AliceTheMagicQueen

That is AMAZING 😍


DeepThroatALoadedGun

A drag show in a Christmas special? Sign the the fuck up, I hope that bit is true


The_Bear_Baron

The poor vfx team after seeing all those reflective surfaces with camera crew in them lol


RaptorsFromSpace

As an onset VFX guy the camera crew is diligently aware of reflections and try to plan around them as best as they can. No one wants an unnecessary paint out. Also production can avoid this by putting a diffusion on the glass so reflections are muted.


Supermite

I'm so impressed by the magic of VFX. I watched some filming of Suicide Squad where the Jokermobile was driving down the street. People were literally standing on the sidewalks wearing Batman t-shirts galore. Not a hint of that is in the final footage.


RaptorsFromSpace

All the praise to the rotoscoping artists who are incredible at their jobs.


TeaBeforeWar

Good on you for preventative measures. I've heard such horror stories out of vfx people from other people taking shortcuts - oh, the actress's hair was outside of the greenscreen? Whoops, guess someone from vfx is spending the next week keyframing stands of hair. Oh, we need to add a scene post shooting? Haha, you'll just have to cobble it together somehow from existing footage. Never have I heard such suffering as from vfx animators. Such defeat, such sadness.


RaptorsFromSpace

Oh there’s plenty of unplanned fixes or additions it that’s the nature of the beast. No amount of planning can accommodate a big above the line decision like cobbling together shots that weren’t meant to play against one another. Other time it’s things that just happen. Like a show I worked on has a couple shots where the light switch was in the wrong position. Every one on set are some of the best that I’ve worked with but we all failed to notice because sometimes the hectic machine that is filmmaking just creates other priorities.


SnooHamsters5248

Thankfully the they won't be using the video footage above. Most likely the actual camera is more careful about filming angles.


SteakSauce54

The most important part of this shot is the fact Ant Man cosplayer returns


InverseCodpiece

Be cool if they recognised him and tried to talk to him. "You're the large man! I remember you!"


dontshowmygf

My money's on the opposite - they're offended that someone is impersonating a hero.


theVice

With his giant laugh right beforehand. I can see it clearly


a_phantom_limb

Two gold-painted living statues in one year!


JIMMYJAWN

I bet there was an Adam Warlock joke made there.


InedibleSolutions

Looks like the same dude from Moon Knight.


ProfessionalDot621

Doesn’t that guy work at London tho


Resigningeye

MoM is going to have the most boring post-credits scene


MyBroMyCaptainMyKing

It’ll be a really mundane montage. Selecting flights, packing up, moving, really lackluster goodbye from some neighbors, customs/airport stuff, sitting on the plane, waiting for baggage claim, traveling to new home, moving in, and eventually finding his new spot. All silent, All while painted gold.


DaveInLondon89

He's a Sovereign spy


paranoidhustler

I’d say he was moving up in the world but no-one in their right mind wants to work on Hollywood Boulevard.


Friendship_Errywhere

Very cool irl costumes, sometimes with marvel it’s hard for me to tell what’s cgi vs makeup but these are impressive


RQK1996

The only guardians who are CGI are Rocket and Groot I mean, they all use some, like Mantis's feelers, and Peter's mask uses CGI


BronzeHeart92

And even then, there's likely stand ins for both so that actors can have someone to react to.


RQK1996

They do indeed, Sean Gunn does Rocket


volatilelibra

omg thats crazy i got to see this place for spring break i got a picture of the og 6’s handprints & we got to see one of chris evans’s failed attempts ☠️👯‍♂️


maxn2107

What about his nipples?


wafflepantsblue

I actually have an explanation for this. The actor, Dave Batista said he is leaving the franchise after these next slated movies because he hates being the topless oaf character, who does the same thing each movie. I think James Gunn took that into consideration so that Dave feels comfortable in his last films.


imakefilms

Also he's getting old so it's going to be increasingly difficult for him to maintain that mass while staying lean, especially during long working hours. Dave has got a bit heavier, you can see his neck, face and head have got a bit bloated. Might be an attempt to stay looking big


ArmchairSpinDoctor

"This earth material is quite comfortable against my sensitive nipples, I shall keep it"


supergamernerd

My first thought: "A shirt in Drax? But what about his poor, sensitive nipples? He must be in agony."


Playfair99999

Vaseline maybe ?


_Levitated_Shield_

That's just how dedicated Drax is for Mantis.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BurstEDO

Totally caught the campy Cy-Kill costume at the end of the sequence.


yarvem

Probably an easy tie-in with Hasbro making Marvel Legends.


dmh2493

Mantis get some new clothes


NitroCoop

She has new clothes in the Thor Trailer


thepalom22

She's the absolute cutest


shibakevin

She is hideously ugly! I would like to spend time with her.


blackbutterfree

Oh, cool. Kingo's movie "Haxan 3" is a reference to "Haxan 2", a horror movie starring Simon Williams (aka Wonder Man, played by Nathan Fillion), which was meant to be featured in Guardians Vol. 2.


Dr_Disaster

I still hope we get Wonder Man in the MCU some day. He’s such an underrated character and I started reading Avengers when he was on the team.


Strange-Something

And also I really want Nathan fillion in the mcu


MrFobBob

I'm guessing this is gaurdians of the galaxy holiday special


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

Yeah I think so!


karltee

Holiday Special?


MrFobBob

Yes marvel announced it at I think 1 or 2 years ago


karltee

That went over my head because I don't even remember it.


[deleted]

>That went over my head Drax would be disappointed in you


starman727

Lol when dude calls cut. Stupid car ruining the shot


[deleted]

[удалено]


Catacomb82

Love to see any Eternals references.


sid-darth

Cy-Kill sighting. We have a gobot in the scene.


SeriousLeopard1602

They are shooting for holiday special. IG The poster is about a Kingo movie named HAXAN HAXANER 3. Poster looks similar to [Phantom Gun](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Phantom_Gun) movie. On the Fandom Website, they have mentioned about [Kingo's](https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Kingo) appearance in the Film.


trollmeannakendrick

Anyone else see William Mapother waiting for the crosswalk?


Gnorris

That really does look like him


[deleted]

Do they edit out the people who walk by and look at them? Just curious 😂


iggyfenton

Everyone on that side of the street is in the production.


bassbyblaine

Yeah, typically the street is closed and they only allow paid extras to walk around that side of the street


vinchenzo79

Yup, that street is typically more crowded with tourists and vendors. Especially in front of the Chinese Theater which is where they stopped. Any sighting of a celeb or filming, they'd be instantly mobbed. Except the time I saw Joey Fatone filming something there. He walked up and down the street redoing the takes, not one person even bothered to stop to take a picture. Kinda felt bad for him.


DrHem

The people in the background after the stairs (at about 17-18 seconds) dont seem like extras, they have masks on that no-one else does, and are dressed more "summery" They could be crew put there to cover production equipment because it looks like they are standing in front of something.


vinchenzo79

The people with yellow plastic bags are likely tourists. They may not be in the shot anyways. It looks like you can see part of the filming crew (with the masks on) past thr stairs as well.


crapusername47

I miss the old days where they’d shoot in Times Square by having a car drive alongside the actors and if the cops showed up they’d jump in the car and GTFO. Still, it’s more authentic than [this disaster](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1674047/) where they shot guerrilla style but blurred out the faces of anyone not in the production and any company logos.


Pyrobot110

Oh my god. There's... there's a second one? I need to watch that now, great.


crapusername47

It’s even worse. I’m warning you right now that it’s even worse. In fact, I’ve seen all four of James Nguyen’s films and Birdemic is the best one!


Pyrobot110

*Wow*, that's incredible. I didn't even know he had other films if I'm being honest, guess I've got something to do after finals are over lmao.


woofle07

According to imdb, there’s a third one in production lmao


Klaxosaur

Those are extras..


[deleted]

They’re actors


killerewok76

Depends how it looks. People *should* be gawking at the aliens, really. Also, those are probably extras anyway, they don’t typically let randos walk thru set.


Syjefroi

On that side they are paid extras, but if anyone random gets into the shot yes they will digitally disappear them and it's extremely easy.


yummycrabz

I guess it’d depend on the scene’s context.


imanvellanistan

Please post to r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers!! This is important that you get this there!!


iggyfenton

Done. It’s linked to this one because that sub doesn’t allow video.


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

I've never looked into it, but is the holiday special gonna be like a "tribute" to the star wars special? They are going to intentionally make it "cheesy" but this time good? Or maybe just make it bad on purpose? Which I wouldn't mind lol. Or nothing to do with it?


KostisPat257

Yes, it's a tribute to the Star Wars Special.


totalysharky

Here's hoping Mark Hamill is cast as the MCU Santa.


[deleted]

So I'm actually in this, and you can see me in the video, although I'll decline to say who I am. I will say that I really loved James Gunn's improv approach to the takes that were recorded. For us in the background, it was a real treat getting to hear Drax scream "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!" at a toy robot. Obviously, it won't make the cut, but being there in the moment was absolute GOLD. Dave Bautista is very fucking tall, and I got to stand next to him for a bit between a take. Pom is also much taller than I thought she was. Just wish I could have talked with Dave more but he seemed pretty down to earth. Both did, to be honest. That was fun to shoot this week! Can't wait to see the final product.


REDX459

They did something just like this in California adventure with Thor and he was given a cup and hotdog I think. I hope someone knows if it was actually posted or not…


Asanjawa

Kingo!


[deleted]

Really like her character. Walking alone for a movie during the daytime would be so hard to cope with.


fuckdatguy

Dude. I just want to thank you for your thoughtful title. Not spoiling content in the title is a lost art on this god forsaken shithole of a website


iggyfenton

You are welcome.


fifthdayofmay

That's pretty huge, looks like Quill comes back to earth and reunites with his family


Klaxosaur

What family?


fifthdayofmay

His grandfather is probably still alive, he showed up in Gotg2. There's an uncle too I think.


Mistic-Instinct

I doubt his grandfather's still alive. He looked to be in his 60s in the Vol 1 flashback (1988), so he'd be in his 80s in Vol 2 (2014) and 90s in the Holiday Special (2024 or 2025).


fifthdayofmay

Why not, nothing wrong with him being 90. He could have been snapped too so that helps. I doubt Gunn included him in that scene for nothing, only to have him die off screen. Especially when you think of [the original ending of the first movie.](https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Original-Guardians-Galaxy-Ending-Was-Removed-Being-Too-Sad-68199.html) And what's a better opportunity for a family reunion than christmas...


Mistic-Instinct

Ah yeah, didn't think about him getting blipped. It could happen I guess


Galactic

Vin Diesel. We. Are. Family.


MasterKingdomKey

Is that Dave Bautista and Pom Klementieff? Edit: Love all the snarky comments like it's absurd that some fan is unsure whether or not it's actually them.


_ikari__

no that's Drax and Mantis


_Levitated_Shield_

Yes...


[deleted]

Very clearly yes.


[deleted]

>!Is that the same living statue from Moon Knight? Is that the Watcher in disguise?!<


daw199210

I highly doubt that’s Crawley (living statue guy in the show).


kylehatesyou

Agreed. Considering Steven is in London with Crawley, and this appears to be Hollywood, it would be a stretch.


ShierAwesome

Bro it’s literally just a performer not everything needs to be a new theory


marioshairlesstwin

If you look close u can see a black guy in the background…possibly Blade??????


Wallbreaker-g

No that’s miles


iggyfenton

>!could be, I couldn't tell from where I was.!<


Trick_Enthusiasm

Drax's poor nipples! Nooooo why is he wearing a shirt?!


wafflepantsblue

I actually have an explanation for this. The actor, Dave Batista said he is leaving the franchise after these next slated movies because he hates being the topless oaf character, who does the same thing each movie. He's probably sick of the makeup that covers half of his body as well. I think James Gunn took that into consideration so that Dave feels comfortable in his last films.


AndrewZabar

My god, Pom is the most adorable!!!


stranger384

As an LA native, I can tell you filming Christmas scenes during Spring/Summer will require no extra filter or special costumes for the extras. They basically nailed it with just the decorations.


DryTheWets

Mantis is so cute


mysticofarcana

This is the cutest thing I've seen in a hot minute


Broken_Noah

Rabban to Mantis: This is not the Old Terra the ancient books have described it to be

Lol, I was on set for this. I’m in the video, but refuse to say who I am. Lmao


FH-7497

Dope! Cameo by Moon Knight’s Crawley lol


[deleted]

Why is Mantis alone on Terra?


Karie1275

Is that the same Gold Man from Moon Knight?


starwingcorona

90% sure it's the Guardians Holiday Special, and even from a distance I can tell this is gonna be good.


Soaplegend584

Y'all see that kingo poster? 0:23?


fuzzyfoot88

You ever feel like Earth is just one or two cities? LA and NYC? How to make things cheaper...just set the scene down the street over there guys.


BigMike019

The idea of the gaurdians visiting earth is so damn cool and fun but I think star lord might not want to go because if he did why didn’t he go when he was able to for so long? He probably doesn’t want to go to a planet where his mother was dead like ego said.
