Five high school students barricade themselves inside their high school to wait out the zombie apocalypse in the trailer for This Is Not a Test, the latest film from Backcountry and Out Come the Wolves director, Adam McDonald.
Variety reports Ryan Hurst—who previously played Thor in the latest entry in the game series, Ragnarok—has been cast as Kratos in the upcoming God of War TV series at Amazon’s Prime Video.
During his recent appearance on the Official Marvel Podcast, producer Brad Winderbaum teased the show’s themes and tone.
VisionQuest is so rewarding for fans of the WandaVision trilogy, but also fans of the MCU, especially the Infinity Saga. What’s amazing about Terry Matalas is [it’s] like talking to someone who grew up at Marvel. The guy knows the lore as well as any of the producers here. He manages a way to pull from the MCU mythology in such clever ways that don’t feel like homework, don’t feel like old ideas that you have to remember, but feel like fresh ideas that just pull from the same rich well of concepts that the universe has kind of put in the toy box for us.
Agatha, in many ways, plays with themes of motherhood in a way that VisionQuest plays with themes of fatherhood. The entire trilogy is focused, in many ways, on parenthood as a concept.
…[VisionQuest] is really about fathers and sons. And, specifically, about three generations of grandfather-father-son. Can a man who had an abusive father be a good father himself? It gets very emotional at times. And it’s exciting. It’s an exciting adventure. When you see Vision kicking ass and you get all that Marvel fun and adventure, it’s all done on the backdrop of real human stakes and emotion, which makes the show feel very grand. It’s like an adrenaline rush, it’s emotional, and it really delivers on a lot of things that I hope people have come to expect from Marvel.
