SFX June 2021

SUPER SOLDIER Rob Graham, email The Falcon And The Winter Soldier was definitely up among the best superhero shows for me – very different to WandaVision, more grounded, with Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan turning into a great double act and Wyatt Russell threatening to steal the series as the dodgy new Captain America you want to hate. The super soldier mystery plot was intriguing too, and there were some nice X-Men hints for comic book fans with Madripoor Island. Isaiah Bradley’s story was tragic. A terrific finale setting up the future Captain America personally made me cheer. It’s looking very good for upcoming Marvel shows on Disney+. SFX Just happy they rebuilt Redwing. That drone has star quality. KONG GONE WRONG David Edward Johnston, email Being a fan of the original King Kong…

DARREN SCOTT EDITOR RAVES → Army Of The Dead was great. Although oddly it really made me want to go back to Vegas, regardless of zombies. → Season two of Creepshow was such good fun. I can’t wait to see them go even further with season three later this year. RANTS → I didn’t really get on with Shadow And Bone, it just didn’t grab me at all. Have I finally reached fantasy overkill? IAN BERRIMAN DEPUTY EDITOR RAVES → Thrilled that David Cronenberg is finally making another sci-fi film (Crimes Of The Future). Been waiting two decades for a reason to interview him… → Very much enjoyed Censor, Prano Bailey-Bond’s forthcoming horror set during the “video nasties” panic. More on that next issue… → Still reeling from the discovery…

Time Fracture is – at least, as I write this – due to open in London this month. An immersive Doctor Who theatrical experience, it had, like almost the entirety of the live entertainment industry, been put on seemingly indefinite hold. That crack in time just kept slipping a groove, making it one of the many things that jumped from one issue of SFX to the next. Behind the scenes, the creative team beavered away building the impressive and expansive worlds of the Doctor Who universe, waiting for the day that audiences would be able to step into the UNIT Black Site and help save reality as we know it. Little did we know! Well, I’m certainly ready to experience another reality and I wish I could tell you more of…
