We’ve already seen the Incredible Hulk spar with Thor and Iron Man, but how about seeing him fight Groot? That’s the question of the year and thanks toVin Dieselwho plays the voice of Groot, we could actually see the two Marvel favorites square off in an upcoming movie.Diesel recently spoke to Screen Junkies at Brazil’s Comic-Conand not only did he tease a Groot vs Hulk, but he also had an idea for another interesting MCU stand alone by saying that if it’s up toJames Gunn, a movie about Groot and Rocket would happen sometime afterAvengers: Infinity War. Adding to this he said that somewhere in the universe we will see a Groot vs. Hulk battle.
According to Deadline,Will Ferrellhas been tapped to headline an upcoming eSports comedy feature from Legendary Pictures and Gary Sanchez Productions. The movie will center on Ferrell as a member of a professional eSports team in which he’s an anomaly in the sport because players usually retire in their 20s due to slowing hand-eye coordination. Evil Geniuses and Fnatic, two of the world’s top eSports teams in the world, are also in talks to be part of the film with a release date yet to be determined.

Hi Collider crew. Greetings and much love from Sweden.
My question is as follows: How good does the next Transformers movie have to be in order to revive the franchise in the eyes of fans and critics? (It is probably going to make a lot of money). I really like the first and third installment, but even if the fifth is just as good, I think it won’t be enough to create any hope for the future.
