A new Minion bubble wand is available at Universal Orlando Resort. We found this Minion bubble wand at Super Silly Stuff in Universal Studios Florida.

Minion Bubble Wand – $27

This Universal Studios exclusive is a blue wand with a full Minion figure sitting on top.

The smirking one-eyed Minion on top is Stuart.

The logo for Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is on the wand just below Stuart.

The bubbles are released from the top of Stuart’s head.

The bubble liquid is stored in a yellow bottle attached to the bottom of the wand.

Check out the Minion with a selfie stick popcorn bucket.

Production Central at Universal Studios Florida is being transformed into Illumination Avenue, including the pre-existing Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and Super Silly Stuff, as well as the new Villain-Con Minion Blast attraction and Minion Cafe.

A new Easter bunny Minnie ear headband is available at Walt Disney World for spring 2023. We found the ear headband at BouTiki in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

Easter Bunny Minnie Ear Headband – $34.99

The mouse ears and bow are made of cream-colored pleather.

Soft rabbit ears stick out from the back of the headband.

Similar to some of the 2023 Lunar New Year merchandise, the mouse ears are patterned with images of different Disney rabbits, like Judy Hopps, Thumper, and the White Rabbit.

The rabbits are joined by the singing flowers from “Alice in Wonderland.”

Three-dimensional butterfly wings stick out of the left mouse ear.

The ear headband also matches the new Disney rabbits Dooney & Bourke collection.

La Cantina de San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion of EPCOT has a new churro sundae dessert perfect for a sunny day in Florida. Read on for our review.

Churro Sundae – $7.99

For this treat, you can choose from vanilla ice cream, caramel ice cream, or a swirl of both flavors. We got the caramel ice cream, and with the caramel sauce drizzled on top, this was a delicious caramel sundae.

The red and green sprinkles didn’t have a noticeable taste. The mini churros stuck inside were fresh and a nice touch. Although, being so small, they could be hard to eat around, so we kind of wish it was just one long churro.

If you love caramel and churros, or you’re a fan of the Cookie Butter Churro Sundae from Disneyland, we highly recommend this.

Will you be trying the churro sundae? Let us know in the comments.

Johnathan Majors, who has starred as “He Who Remains” and “Kang the Conqueror” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was arrested in New York City over the weekend for assaulting a woman, according to TMZ.

Law enforcement sources tell us the actor was booked Saturday morning on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment. We’re told cops responded to a call for service around 11 AM ET near the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

We’re told the alleged victim in this case, a female, relayed to police that Majors had gotten into a dispute with her and proceeded to attack her. Their exact relationship is unknown.

Our sources tell us the alleged victim had visible injuries — including a laceration behind her ear, redness and marks to her face. She was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition. As for Majors … he was cuffed and taken to jail on the spot, as police felt there was enough evidence for probable cause. We’re hearing he is currently out of custody.

TMZ.com

Representatives for Majors are currently denying the assault claims.

Obviously, such actions would have major implications on the future of the Marvel Cinematic universe as Majors is playing the main villain of the ongoing Multiverse Saga, most recently appearing in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and is set to appear in season 2 of Loki on Disney+, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Avengers: Secret Wars, among other projects.

The fans of the AVATAR movie series may in the future get a chance to AVATAR 3 in theaters, but also as a 9-hour director cut as a limited series on Disney+ after the theatrical release.

AVATAR 3 – Limited Series?

A recent podcast “The Hot Mic with Jeff and John” Jeff Sneider stated a rumor that director James Cameron of the AVATAR series of films stated that James Cameron has wanted to have a 9-hour director cut of the third film. That he would film the entire movie for a length of 9 hours, which would include completing the visual effects for the entire run time.

The film release would be edited to a shorter version of the content for the theatrical release of the movie, and all of the additional footage could then be released as a limited series just for Disney+. This would be a great way to provide the fans of the franchise more opportunity to dive into the world of AVATAR and experience the full story arc that James Cameron had intended for the movie.

The latest release of the AVATAR movie franchise hit theaters in 2022, grossing over 2.3 billion worldwide. This also makes the second film the third highest-grossing film of all time. The possibility of the third film providing a series-length version of the film would allow Disney to gain more views and subscriptions to the service.

If this rumor comes true, and the series does release to Disney+ as Jeff Sneider of “The Hot Mic” says, this could open up opportunities for spin-offs of the movie franchise. Disney has had success with Marvel and the limited series and series such as WandaVision in 2021, which has spawned a spin-off on its own Agatha: Coven of Chaos.

This could be a good move for Disney and the Disney+ streaming service to create a new series, and continue to expand on the universe of AVATAR that has already been established. It could bring in fans of the movies to the streaming service that may have not already been subscribed.

AVATAR 3

The next installment in the movie franchise is expected in “December 2024” as long as there are no delays in production. Filming for the second and third films took place from 2017 through 2022 in New Zealand and both films were recorded alongside one another.

Returning characters Jake Sully and Neytiri will appear in the third installment, also it is known that Miles ‘Spider” Socorro played by Jack Champion will also be returning for the next film.

Although the third movie has not been given an official title James Cameron did reply to a report from the BBC that the next movie would be AVATAR: The Seed Bearer stating that the title is “in consideration” but has not been confirmed as of this time.

There are plans for two more sequels to the AVATAR movie franchise planned, 4 and 5 that at this time have no titles or release dates announced. With the success at the box office of the second film, the odds of the continuing saga of the movies could be just around the corner with the next two chapters possibly beginning production in the coming years.
