When Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Sidwell (Carlo Rota) met in the General Hospital episode that aired on June 19, we found their conversation rather interesting, and we had to ask if there was a bit of dark foreshadowing.
During their discussion, the two men talked about Sidwell's pitch to buy Sonny's piers. The Dimpled Kingpin made it clear that he had no intention of selling to Sidwell. In return, Sidwell talked about how tragic a life Sonny has had, even invoking Morgan's (Bryan Craig) death. Furthermore, Sidwell encouraged Sonny to accept his offer so Sonny can spend his retired days with the Corinthos clan, safe and secure.
Sonny took the words as a veiled threat. Although Sidwell tried to convince Sonny that it wasn't the case, the Corinthos patriarch wasn't buying it. Sidwell then suggested that if he planned to attack Sonny, then he would have ended things for the mob boss a while ago.
As the faceoff continued, the biggest takeaway from the conversation came out. Both men agreed that keeping their children safe is of utmost importance, before Sonny again rejected Sidwell's proposal and walked away.
Having said all of that, we find it interesting that so much of their conversation was about the idea of family and protecting family members. Although the following preview for the General Hospital episodes airing during the week of June 23 suggests Sidwell may soon target Sonny's children or grandchildren, we have a hunch that Sidwell will be the one left devastated by tragedy when it comes to a loved one. Enter Marco (Adrian Anchondo).
We can imagine a scenario in which Marco finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time and is left fighting for his life. So far, Sidwell's previous attempts on Sonny's life ended in failure.
Zeroing in on the penthouse bombing, that incident nearly killed Michael (Rory Gibson). Is it possible that Marco finds himself in a situation where he is caught in the middle of his father's next murder plot by mistake? Whether it's Marco being caught in an explosion by Sonny's warehouse, or Marco being shot by mistake in some crazy instance of him being near Sonny at an inopportune moment, we just can't rule out the possibility.
Again, Marco being in danger is just a theory. However, if Sidwell and Sonny go head-to-head and an innocent bystander is caught in the crossfire, we don't think General Hospital writers would be so cruel to let a loved one of Sonny be that bystander, considering Michael literally just got back from a burn recovery unit in Germany.
New episodes of General Hospital air on weekdays on ABC. If you miss an episode, you can catch up on Hulu.

I Have So Much Confidence In Fantastic Four Being ‘Massive' After Visiting The Film's Set And Hearing How The Team Will Be Added To ‘The Mount Rushmore Of The MCU'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In 2024, CinemaBlend was invited to London to visit the set of Matt Shakman's anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And when embarking on that journey, I truly didn't know what to expect. Marvel Studios has done a decent job of keeping the details of the movie under wraps, though we've been able to determine that it will take place in an alternate universe that is not Earth-616 (the timeline of the main MCU). It was not going to build on the Reed Richards that we met in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (sorry, John Krasinski). And it would have absolutely no connection to either of the pre-existing Fantastic Four franchises that existed over at 20th Century Fox. This would be a brand new take on Marvel's First Family. But what would it look like? The trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps gave fans some indication, showing off The Baxter Building, the digital effects being used to create Ben Grimm (Eben Moss-Bacharach), but practical takes on The Fantasti-Car and HERBIE the robot. These elements helped to make the film seem more real. And after visiting the sets, and touring some of the locations that they built for this movie, I can tell you that the promise of a 'massive' Fantastic Four adventure is real. Marvel knows that this movie needs to succeed on an unprecedented level to help lure fans back into the MCU. But they also think the Fantastic Four is an under-explored galaxy that is ripe for original storytelling. How original? So original that when the movie's co-producer Grant Curtis spoke about the approach to these classic characters, he kind of came up with his own term, which he felt fit the family to a tee. Curtis told CinemaBlend: It's a very interesting word when you go back and you look at the history of the Fantastic Four. I think I used it earlier when they described themselves as Imagin-auts. Their world, their universe, their galaxy was massive. And I think to do them justice, you have to look at that Imagin-auts word, and just see where that can play out on a grander scale than what we've seen in the past. Because I think that is how you do the Fantastic Four justice, is when you take away the boundaries and you just look at what their world, their universe, their galaxy was in the narrative. Looking at it from that lens that Matt Shakman led the charge on really helped us figure out that there kind of are no boundaries. That really helps set that tone. Anyone who has read the Fantastic Four comics over the years knows that their adventures often took them to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and away from Earth as often as they were on it. Previous Fantastic Four movies may have explored the concept of The Negative Zone, but not to any extent that would satisfy the most curious FF fans. The excuse has been made that those movies were made outside of the creative parameters of the MCU. But now, Marvel Studios owns the rights to the characters. And so we're all looking at The Fantastic Four: First Steps as the team's first true steps into the Marvel Universe, and Grant Curtis emphasized that Kevin Feige's not throwing away his shot. Curtis told CinemaBlend on the Fantastic Four set: Kevin [Feige] more than anyone … really wanted to continue to do those characters justice and, as we talked earlier, put them on the Mount Rushmore of the MCU that they've never been on. It goes back to what I just said. The only way you can do that is to take off any handcuffs. … That's also kind of what we all do for a living, is try to tell the biggest, coolest narrative possible on a fiscally responsible scale. And we've been able to do that. I can back this up. While visiting the London sets of The Fantastic Four, we actually got to tour physical, constructed sets of: The 1960s Times Square, with storefronts for all sorts of cool shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and more; the family's residence inside the Baxter Building, which included the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and more; Reed Richards' massive laboratory, which was broken up into three distinct segments and showcased several hints and clues as to the family's previous battles and adversaries; and also Yancy Street, the infamous neighborhood of surly New Yorker Ben Grimm. We learned on set that day that Yancy Street is the same street build used by Deadpool and Wolverine in this unforgettable Deadpool Corps sequence, just dressed differently: Standing on these locations, and having them be tangible spots that were created for the purpose of this film, help immerse you in this unique environment that's being designed specifically for The Fantastic Four. As a lifelong comic book fanatic, I can't tell you how important it actually was for me to stand on Yancy Street, and in the Fantastic Four's living room in The Baxter Building. It's going to help build the world of this alternate universe. Which is what Grant Curtis referred back to when I asked him, as part of the Fantastic Four: First Steps set visit, what the biggest takeaway from the shoot has been. And Curtis explained The value of planting your flag, and then feeding everything into that. Because as we talked earlier, Matt Shakman the '60s optimism, Kubrick and Kirby, and just embracing those aesthetics, all of a sudden – everything doesn't fall in naturally around it, but all of a sudden, those pieces come together more easily. If that's proper English, I don't know. But it truly is having a director who says, 'This is what I want to do,' and think, 'Oh man, that really makes sense.' And having that echo what Stan (Lee) and Jack (Kirby) were doing 60 years ago, which is also mirroring what Kevin Feige was wanting to see. That's been the most interesting, for lack of a better term, for me. Will it all work? We are going to find out soon enough. Marvel is putting a lot of eggs into the basket of the upcoming MCU movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and we assume this will establish the path that is going to lead fans directly to the return of Robert Downey Jr. in Avengers: Doomsday. Look for The Fantastic Four in a theater near you on July 25, with tickets now available for presale.

Fantastic Four's Director Confirms That Reed Richards' Lab Has Three Distinct Sections, And Tells Us What They're For (Plus Shoots Down One Rumor From The Comics)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Part of the fun of visiting a movie set is stepping into actual locations that have been constructed to bring a fictional environment to life. When you attend a set visit for a blockbuster superhero film, however, you get a mix of two different experiences. I was lucky enough to visit the set of Avengers: Infinity War in Atlanta, where a group of journalists watched T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) welcome Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and a refugee band of Avengers to Wakanda. Outside of a constructed platform, however, we only saw green screens instead of Wakanda. But other times, I've been lucky enough to see a replica of Kamar-Tak on the Doctor Strange set, the exterior of The Daily Planet on the Superman set, and plenty of exciting builds while visiting the set of The Fantastic Four: First Steps outside of London in 2024. One of the main messages professed by director Matt Shakman and the producers of The Fantastic Four is that this movie is aiming to be massive in scope, and practical in scale. Now, that's not possible for a villain like Galactus, who literally is the size of several skyscrapers. But on our visit to The Fantastic Four set, we were able to step into physically constructed sets for The Baxter Building, Yancy Street, a 1960s replica of Times Square, and Reed Richards' laboratory, which was an exquisite and sprawling set that stretched on, providing exciting new details in each reveal. Standing on the outside of Richards' lab, which we were told will be located on a separate floor of The Baxter Building, Matt Shakman explained to CinemaBlend: If you guys have a chance to peek your head in there and take a look, it's a sort of a 2001-inspired laboratory. It's got three circles. (The team is) in the blue circle, which is the Mission Control area where Reed does his searches for extraterrestrial life. He does space experiments, monitors his telescope, things like that. The middle circle is his Thinking Zone, which has the world's largest chalkboards, which go up and down in a really quite extraordinary way. And that's where he thinks about the big problems of the universe. And then the red circle at the far end, which you can't see, is his Engineering Circle, where he actually builds things by hand, and makes inventions. So, the greatest lab for the greatest mind. There was some discussion following the release of the trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps that we didn't see Pedro Pascal stretching, showing off the elasticity that comes with playing Reed Richards. And that's true. But I'd argue Reed's real superpower is his intellect. It's what allows him to go toe-to-toe with his legendary adversary Victor Von Doom, who we know will be played by Robert Downey Jr. in the MCU… perhaps in scenes for The Fantastic Four, released this year? That's a rumor. And speaking of rumors, I wanted to ask Matt Shakman about one we'd heard regarding The Negative Zone, a dimension frequently showcased in the Fantastic Four comics that some believe might be used to transport the FF from their world to Earth-616, where the rest of the MCU awaits. But when I asked Shakman this point blank, he candidly told CinemaBlend: The Negative Zone is not a part of our film. That doesn't mean it won't appear later. Later, like, in an upcoming Avengers movie? Anything is possible. Based on what we learned on the set of The Fantastic Four, this movie is going to open up the MCU to all new corners of the universe, and expand Marvel's playing field to include exciting new dimensions and galaxies. Marvel's first family arrives in theaters on July 25. Keep it here for the latest coverage regarding all things comic book in Hollywood.

There Are Comic-Specific Reasons Why Marvel Set The Fantastic Four: First Steps In The 1960s, And They Make Me Appreciate The Movie Even More
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There are so many reasons to be excited about the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The new Marvel movie will finally introduce one of the company's original superhero teams to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the thing that has me most excited is just how and when the Fantastic Four will start their adventure. The upcoming Marvel movie won't start the story in the same universe that has been the focus of the rest of the MCU. Instead, they'll exist in a retro-future version of the 1960s. Back when CinemaBlend got to visit the set of Fantastic Four: First Steps producer Grant Curtis explained that part of this decision came from a desire to honor the creation of the characters by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Curtis explained… First of all, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Sixties, most everyone knows the importance of Fantastic Four to Marvel, in general. In the late Fifties and early Sixties, Marvel went out of business, or were on the verge of bankruptcy. Stan and Jack decided to throw a Hail Mary, and came up with the coolest concept they could think of at that time – a family that would go on to become The Fantastic Four. … So really, it's kind of a wink, and a nod, and a tip of the hat to Stan and Jack, and what really started all of this, or at least kept it going. The Fantastic Four comic was an instant hit and it essentially allowed Marvel to keep the lights on, giving it the time to create other iconic heroes like Spider-Man and the Hulk. It is somewhat fitting to take the characters back to the beginning for their MCU debut. The other thing the retro-future concept does is give this new version some separation from the two previous versions of Marvel's First Family on the big screen. While the very first film version of Fantastic Four was successful enough to get a sequel, that sequel, which contains similar plot elements to the new movie, and the eventual 2015 reboot, both flopped. The less that will remind fans of those films in the new one, the better. The retro-future aesthetic of the 1960s certainly opens things up to tell a story in a unique place that won't look like any other part of the MCU. It also allows for other opportunities, like bringing the Fantastic Four into Disneyland's Tomorrowland, which was inspired by many of the same design concepts that went into creating First Steps. Of course, it isn't just about giving a Fantastic Four movie a fresh place to tell its story, but also giving the MCU a unique place to set the adventure. Curtis revealed that Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is always looking for unique ways to tell stories, so the retro-future 1960s idea was something that they simply hadn't done before, which made it exciting for all involved. He continued… The other thing is, as you guys know from being moviegoers, and just fans in our own rights, working with Kevin and working at Marvel, it gets tougher and tougher (with) every movie and every streaming show. Because every new one, Feige challenges us to paint on a new canvas. Or else, why are we continuing to paint? You've got to deliver something new and fresh, and it keeps getting tougher and tougher. But one thing – and we know that with Guardians of the Galaxy and other movies, we've explored slivers of 1960s, Seventies, Eighties, et cetera. But setting a whole movie with the 1960s aesthetic, we thought it was a new, really cool canvas. Matt Shakman keeps saying, 'Optimism, optimism, optimism of the Sixties.' And that really unique vibe that, sadly – not to be a downer or anything, because it's not meant to be that, but we've kind of lost some of that. But what do you gain with the Sixties? That optimism is a really cool bedrock from which everything else can rise. We know, based on the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, that the Fantastic Four are on their way into the proper MCU at some point, and that the full team is part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast. Whatever happens, it should still make for an exciting and unique film when The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters in July.
