This is interesting news becuase Black Panther is still being shown in theaters. What behind the scenes content could be included as extras? Cut footage? How the language was created? A look at the music?

31:45 – Also in movie news, Entertainment Weekly noted in a recent article that advance ticket sales for Solo: A Star Wars Story have surpassed Black Panther. Could this be a mega-hit despite the controversy? Will it see the success that the Star Trek recasting has?

Marvel announced details of this summers Secret Empire crossover which pits the Marvel heroes against a Steve Rogers lead HYDRA.

Plus hear details on Legacy, Generations, and Black Panther.

Not to be outdone, DC announced they are expanding their universe by adding all-new characters with Dark Matter. Get the gist on The Silencer, Sideways, The Immortal Men, Damage, and The Neew Challengers. This is not a separate universe, these are all new additions to the same DCU we know and love.

The second half of the show focuses on the Celebrity and Entertainment panels. No recording was allowed, so there unfortunately there are no clips. However, Seth did give some of the notable details from panels that include Stan Lee and Frank Miller, The Flash’s Danielle Panabaker, Agents Of SHIELD, Vincent D’onofrio, and the hilarious Twisted Toonz reading of Back To The Future.

AMAZING! You Now Can Buy An Iron Man Suit. But There Is One Catch…

The Toys Asia have built a life-size powered Iron Man statue with 567 moving parts and 46 motors. The suit opens up much like Tony Stark’s prize armor for the Marvel films. A full transformation takes approximately 28 seconds.

Too good to be true? Well, in short, yes. The downside is you won’t be able to actually wear the suit, but boy it looks cool!

Oh, and buying one of these bad boys will only set you back approximately $360,000… Get in line now.

NEWS

Doctor Strange has hit the cinemas by storm across the globe. Train and Seth return to talk the movie, but also give an in-depth look at the comic history of Stephen Strange. You can listen to the show above and below.

The first appearance of Doctor Strange in Strange Tales #110

Strange first appeared in the anthology series Strange Tales in 1963, before taking over the title entirely a few years later. While he may not be the most popular character, he has grown to be one of the most influential ones on the entire Marvel Universe. Train, a lifelong fan, talks much of the history and the diverse characters in Strange’s lore.

In current news, Seth goes over the impressive numbers the feature film has taken in. At the time of recording the movie had grossed $85 million dollars domestically, and $240 million internationally. Which totals $325 million in one weekend. It’s also the 14th straight #1 opening for a MCU title.

The second half of the show is devited to a detailed (that means SPOILERS!) review of the movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, and Mads Mikkelson. If you missed some of the Easter Eggs, or if something in the movie might not have made sense at first viewing, Set and Train have you covered.
