Before Marvel Television officially folded into Marvel Studios last October -- effectively ending Marvel TV's run that began with Agents of SHIELD and included the likes of Agent Carter, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, and the Netflix Defenders-verse, as the company shifted gears and looked to Marvel Studios to make streaming shows for Disney+ that would be a part of Phase 4 (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, etc) -- there were still a few Marvel shows in the pipeline. One series from the slate -- which also included a Ghost Rider series and animated shows for Howard the Duck and Tigra & Dazzler -- was a live-action New Warriors series for Freeform, which was to feature Milana Vayntrub as the beloved cult character Squirrel Girl. Kevin Biegel (Scrubs, Enlisted), who was briefly the showrunner for the now defunct New Warriors series, took to Twitter today to lament the fact that, had the series gone on long enough, Keith David's character would have transformed into a live-action version of A.I.M.'s giant-headed scientist supreme, M.O.D.O.K (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing).

I just got sad talking to a friend because I remembered we had a seasons-long plan on our New Warriors show to turn Keith David's character into M.O.D.O.K.

that would've been so good. Ah, another timeline.

Just shut your eyes and imagine Keith David saying, "MODOK." And then laughing. Oh my God it still gives me goosebumps.

For those now mourning the loss of the this particular M.O.D.O.K., keep in mind that Hulu still has an animated M.O.D.O.K. series in the works, written by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt, with Oswalt voicing the title character. Parks and Rec's Ben Schwartz, who recently voiced Sonic the Hedgehog in the live-action movie, is also a part of the voice cast. M.O.D.O.K., an oversized maniac who was bioengineered by the scientists of A.I.M. to be the ultimate tyrannical leader, has been featured in various Marvel comics and shows, and appeared on IGN’s top 100 comic book villains list.

Mean Girls and Veronica Mars' Amanda Seyfried, who can currently be seen in the VOD horror flick You Should Have Left with Kevin Bacon (read IGN's You Should Have Left review here), recently spoke to ComicBook.com about her choice, almost a decade ago, to not go for the Gamora role in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Many stars were in the running for the Guardians back when James Gunn was casting the film, including Shazam!'s Zachary Levi, and among them was Seyfried, who was reportedly high on Marvel's radar. But here's what she said about her decision to ultimately not play one of the daughters of Thanos. “I think about it often," she said. "I’m not really a Marvel movie watcher, which is, I think, why I was just like, ‘Ah, I don’t wanna be green. It’s just so much work.’" "I remember Jennifer Lawrence talking about once, how long it took her to get blue," Seyfried added. "And I was like, ‘That seems like hell on earth,’ because then you get to set and you’re only there for a couple hours, and then you have to take everything off. And that was literally the reason.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-team-in-the-mcu&captions=true"] Before James Gunn starts up his third, and final, Guardians of the Galaxy film, he's still got The Suicide Squad coming - the title of which he recently revealed was a joke initially. Gunn has stated that Rocket's past will play a huge role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Gamora, Star-Lord, and the rest of the Guardians made big appearances in Avengers: Endgame, though these MCU characters left Earth's Mightiest Heroes high and dry during the final battle against Thanos.

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who recently noted that he couldn't ever imagine playing Luke Skywalker again after Episode IX, apparently made a voice cameo in Season 1 of The Mandalorian. On this week's final episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian (h/t Deadline), it was revealed that an uncredited Hamill voiced the droid bartender in the fifth episode of the series. In the fifth episode, "The Gunslinger," Mando (real name: Din Djarin) seeks safe harbor in Mos Eisley on Tatooine so that he can get his ship, The Razor Crest, repaired while protecting and hiding The Child. When Mando stopped by the Mos Eisley cantina, which famously didn't allow droids back in A New Hope, a droid, voiced by Hamill, was now manning the entire place. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=31-celebrity-cameos-in-the-star-wars-sequel-trilogy&captions=true"] On Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, series creator Jon Favreau mentioned that the droid’s name is EV-9D9. And yes, EV-9D9 was previously seen in Return of the Jedi as Jabba the Hut's droid torturer. After the release of The Rise of Skywalker, Hamill wrote a heartfelt letter to fans thanking them for their devotion to the Skywalker saga and the Star Wars universe, noting how it will "continue to grow with new storytellers building an even bigger galaxy." Recently, Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Peyton Reed (Ant-Man) have both confirmed they will be directing episodes of Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Season 2's new cast members include actor Michael Biehn (The Terminator, Aliens), who has been cast in an unspecified role as an unknown bounty hunter; Rosario Dawson, who has also been reportedly cast as Ahsoka Tano; and Timothy Olyphant, who will play Cobb Vanth, a character first introduced in the 2015 novel Star Wars: Aftermath.

Hanna's second season debuts on Amazon Prime Video on July 3, with what looks to be another action-packed outing featuring our favorite young assassin, played by Esme Creed-Miles. While the Season 2 trailer shows off Hanna's new blonde hair, we've also learned that she's getting some updated moves from Game of Thrones stuntman Marcus Shakesheff. "We wanted to design a fighting style, particularly for Hanna," Shakesheff explained. "We've gone for a Krav Maga-type style, so when you watch it you believe that would hurt. Elbow smashes, headbutts... we wanted to give it a little bit more." For an in-depth look at how Shakesheff and his team turned Creed-Miles into an efficient killing machine, check out our exclusive behind the scenes look at Hanna Season 2 in the video below or at the top of the page: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/19/hanna-exclusive-season-2-krav-maga-clip"] Here's how Amazon describes the Season 2 of Hanna: "In Season Two, Hanna risks her freedom to rescue her friend Clara (Yasmin Monet Prince) from the clutches of the Utrax program, now run by John Carmichael (Dermot Mulroney) and his second in command, Leo Garner (Anthony Welsh). Hanna finds help in the unlikely form of her previous nemesis, CIA agent Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos), who must protect both herself and Hanna from the ruthless organization she once trusted. Yet as Hanna delves deeper into the elusive world of The Meadows and meets others like herself, including Sandy (Áine Rose Daly) and Jules (Gianna Kiehl), she begins to question her role in the larger context of Utrax's assassin program and ultimately, where she truly belongs." Hanna Season 2 drops on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, July 3, 2020. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hanna-season-2-gallery&captions=true"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] David Griffin still watches DuckTales in his pajamas with a cereal bowl in hand.

Guinness World Records has reinstated five records set by Billy Mitchell, which had previously been disqualified due to belief they had been achieved on an emulator. "In the light of compelling new evidence received by Guinness World Records, the Records Management Team has unanimously decided to reverse decisions made in April 2018 in regards to video game high scores achieved by Billy Mitchell between 1982 and 2010," Guinness World Records said in a statement. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/07/04/history-of-awesome-pac-man"] In a video statement, Guinness World Records’ editor-in-chief, Craig Glenday, explained that the new evidence comes in the form of new eyewitness accounts, expert gameplay analysis, and hardware verification. The team’s conclusion was that the evidence did not support the conclusions made in April 2018 that Mitchell had achieved his records using emulation instead of arcade machines. As such, all five records have been restored. Those five records are:

• Highest score on Donkey Kong - 874,300 Points - November 7, 1982
• First Perfect Score on Pac-Man - 3,333,360 Points - July 3, 1999
• Highest score on Donkey Kong - 1,047,200 Points - June 4, 2005
• Highest score on Donkey Kong - 1,050,200 Points - July 14, 2007
• Highest score on Donkey Kong - 1,062,800 Points - July 31, 2010

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/04/16/billy-mitchell-responds-to-having-records-stripped"] Mitchell is famously known as one of the players in cult gaming documentary The King of Kong, in which rival player Steve Wiebe attempted to beat his score. In 2018, Twin Galaxies - the company partnered with Guinness World Records to aid in the adjudication of video game records - deemed a set of score tapes submitted by Mitchell as not being set on “unmodified original DK arcade PCB as per the competitive rules”, which led to the disqualification of his records. The following year, Mitchell filed a lawsuit against Twin Galaxies for defamation. For more on classic games, check out how Pac-Man celebrated its 40th anniversary earlier this year and what makes Pac-Man such an icon. And for DK, check out this Donkey Kong speedrun that finishes the game in one minute. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Purslow is IGN's UK News and Entertainment Writer.
