Macaulay Culkin Wants An Avengers 4 Role, But We Have Some Bad News For Him

Is there room in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a superhero who smashes enemies in the face with buckets of paint or knows how to grocery shop on a budget in the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War? If so, Macaulay Culkin–who first rose to fame in 1989’s Home Alone–would like to throw his name in the hat.

Culkin has officially put Disney and Marvel Studios on notice that he’s ready to be of service to the MCU in a tweet. “Hey [Marvel] and [Disney] there’s still time to cast me in part 2 of Infinity War,” he writes. “I’m around.” He also includes what he’s calling a reel to show the producers and directors of the film exactly what he’s capable of. In case you were wondering, he excels at wearing bunny ears and beating WWE superstars at thumb wrestling.

Unfortunately, there’s some bad news for Culkin. It actually is too late for him to snag a role in Avengers 4, as it’s already been filmed. In fact, it was shot back-to-back with Avengers: Infinity War. Voth movies wrapped production back in January.

The MCU isn’t slowing down anytime soon, though. There will be plenty of chances to integrate the actor if the powers-that-be decide it should be done. First, he’ll have to take off those bunny ears, though.

If you’ve already had the chance to check out Avengers: Infinity War, GameSpot has plenty for you to check out. Once you know all of the MCU secrets, take a look at our deep dive into that post-credits scene, as well as a primer on that shocking cameo appearance.

SHIELD’s Awesome Twist Introduces a Villain Teased Back in Season 1

While there’s no clear word as to whether or not Season 5 is meant to be the final season for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the show has certainly bent itself out of shape in order to circle everything back to the start – all the way to the storylines and arcs from Season 1.

Usually, that tends to spell out the end for most sagas but in SHIELD’s case it may just be attention to detail designed to be appreciated by fans who’ve stuck with the show for five seasons.

Aside from a seasonal plot that’s now worked its way to Bill Paxton’s John Garrett, Deathlok, and the Centipede Project from the first season, SHIELD’s latest episode, “Option Two,” revealed the one, true “Destroyer of Worlds” – GRAVITON!

Everything Avengers: Infinity War Revealed About the Soul Stone

At long last, Avengers: Infinity War revealed the location of the final Infinity Stone, the orange Soul Stone. We’re going to break down how it was uncovered in the film and also explain what it can do based on what we know from the comics.

Warning: full spoilers ahead!

It turns out that Gamora was sent on a mission to find the Soul Stone for Thanos years ago. After finding out where it was hidden, she lied to Thanos, saying she never found it in order to prevent him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet and carrying out his plan to kill off half the life in the universe. But Gamora let slip to Nebula that she knew its location. Thanos was able to hack a captured Nebula’s electronic components to learn of Gamora’s treachery, and then he tortured Nebula in front of Gamora until she agreed to take him to the Soul Stone.
