10 Most Insane Things Happening In Movies & TV Right Now (Jan 11th)

2. Samuel L Jackson Just Straight Up Gives No F*cks

Samuel L Jackson has a bit of a history for talking in interviews and on the marketing trail for his movies without entirely wondering whether his studios would be happy with what he's saying. He's in good company with the rest of the Marvel cast though, because they tend to throw out spoilers all the time - to the extent that the studio has been forced to take dramatic measures to guard their secrets.

For the likes of Infinity War, Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, spoilers have been impressivey limited, but the minute Jackson gets into interview mode, you know something is bound to go sideways. This time, the star behind Nick Fury's eye-patch spoke to Entertainment Tonight to spoil one of Captain Marvel's superpowers and pretty much spoil why she's so important to Endgame's plot:

“She’s pretty much the strongest character — in terms of someone with powers are able to do things — in the Marvel universe. So, for Carol Danvers to be that person and for Brie to become that person, it’s gonna be a dynamite thing. I mean, [the Avengers] are up against some really, really tough odds right now — we saw throughout Infinity War — so now we know that we need something that’s as powerful as Thanos. And at some point, we’ll find out how powerful she is and all the things that she’s capable of. She’s one of the few people in the Marvel universe that can time travel, so…”

Good one, Sam, Marvel will no doubt take this really well. Let's hope for his sake that he's just lying.
