[divider]It’s finally here. A movie so large that even Sony let go of their Spider-Man exclusivity to get in on the gravy train. Trust me it was well worth it as Disney put their magic touch on the whole affair and were able to make the absence of Thor and Hulk a non-factor. They deliver a fantastic movie with minimal retelling of the source material while still providing an engaging and wholly enjoyable film.

I don’t know if I could rave enough about this movie. The characters have been perfected by the actors portraying them. Ironman, Cap, Black Widow, and the rest of the Avengers are good as ever. Wanda Maximoff, Vision, Ant-Man all return to the show they are no superhero slouches and can hold their own amidst the big dogs. Spider-Man was a huge get for this movie as he played an integral role in the comic saga. His role is altered a lot to fit the script but still awesome nonetheless. The new actor in the red and blue tights is Tom Holland and he gives me hope that we won’t need another reboot of the Sony Pictures franchise again for awhile. He is amazing as the starry eyed new to his powers Peter Parker. He is the smart ass teenager we’ve all been waiting on since the first Toby Maguire film from the wall-crawler. Chadwick Boseman settles in to the role of T’Challa/ The Black Panther with ease and confidence. I couldn’t get enough of him as the revenge seeking King of Wakanda. His solo movie will without doubt be a hit.

The biggest complaint about MCU films in the past is that the villains aren’t very interesting or complex. But, this time the enemies are the heroes and both sides have a valid point so choosing a side is hard. It makes for an interesting onscreen dynamic and interesting story to watch unfold. With the additions of new MCU heroes and Spider-Man there is all sorts of crossover potential dream team ups swimming through my comic nerd brain. Maybe other movie studios see the success of the Spider-Man borrowing film and let some of their own properties make appearances. It’s what the fans want and no doubt a money maker for all involved.

Sure they followed the a tried an true formula with the writing but, if ain’t broke don’t fix it. Go see this movie. With all that said, this movie is just flat-out awesome.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
