Whether rendered in LEGO bricks or this highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine film, this next MCU offering marks the triumphant return of Ryan Reynolds to the iconic role of the irreverent mercenary, alongside director Shawn Levy, known for his visionary work on Free Guy and The Adam Project.

Joining Reynolds are esteemed Marvel film actors Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Garner, reprising their beloved roles as Wolverine and Elektra, respectively. Their return from superhero retirement promises to add depth and nostalgia to an already over-the-edge narrative.

The sequel also boasts of an ensemble cast, including Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Rob Delaney as Peter, and Stefan Kapicic as Colossus. Karan Soni returns as Dopinder, while Brianna Hildebrand reprises her role as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, accompanied by Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio. Adding to the excitement, Deadpool & Wolverine welcomes newcomers, Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen, further enriching the Marvel tapestry with their talent.

Behind the Scenes of this Next MCU Offering

The script for Deadpool & Wolverine is crafted by a team of seasoned writers, including Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells. Building upon their foundation, the Molyneux sisters, Wendy Molyneux, and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, contributed to the screenplay, infusing it with their unique perspective.

With Reynolds, Levy, and Kevin Feige at the helm as producers, the film promises to deliver an unparalleled cinematic experience, blending humor, action, and heart.

This fan-made LEGO Deadpool and Wolverine trailer not only showcases the boundless creativity of fans but also highlights the enduring appeal of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in spite of its ups and downs. And with the unwavering support of stars like Ryan Reynolds and visionary directors like Shawn Levy, the sequel is poised to exceed fan expectations, and hopefully set a new box office record.

Will Deadpool have another LEGO Marvel set of his own after almost 14 years? We’ll soon find out. The image above is from 2012’s LEGO Marvel Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown 6866.

Plus, with the most likely prospect of a new LEGO Marvel set to include the latest minifigure versions of Deadpool and Wolverine (the first and last one being 2012’s LEGO Marvel Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown 6866), LEGO fans surely has something to look forward to this year.

This Custom LEGO Fried Chicken Stop-Animation Video Just Went Viral

Advertisements

For our LEGO MOC of the Week, check out why this custom LEGO Fried Chicken video became an instant hit. 

Food videos that capture the online world’s attention often fall within specific categories like food discovery, street cuisine, unconventional recipes, extraordinary dining experiences, and culinary shortcuts.

However, a new trend is taking the internet by storm, and it’s anything but ordinary. Surprisingly, it doesn’t involve real food; instead, it’s a mesmerizing display of creativity and video editing skills using good old-fashioned LEGO bricks.

The Custom LEGO Fried Chicken Culinary Journey

The mastermind behind these captivating videos is Andrew, a stop-motion animator and video creator, who shares his unique culinary creations on Instagram under the handle @hypnomotion.

From burgers and pizzas to hot dogs and French toast, Andrew crafts lifelike custom LEGO food items, and one video, in particular, has garnered a substantial following: ‘LEGO Fried Chicken And Fries.’

Watch this.

How to “Cook” a Delicious Custom LEGO Fried Chicken

In this mouth-watering video (in case you’re a minifigure in disguise), we can see a pair of hands carefully dipping a pinkish LEGO chicken leg into a red mixture made of LEGO tiles. The leg piece is then ‘coated’ with beige 1×1 plates, simulating breadcrumb crust.

The next step involves placing the LEGO fried chicken into a pot filled with ‘hot oil,’ and well, as you can guess, represented by popping trans yellow studs LEGO studs. Once ‘cooked,’ the LEGO fried chicken pieces have now been transformed into an appetizing trio of golden brown leg pieces.

The culinary journey doesn’t stop there; strands of french fries have been deliciously recreated using yellow LEGO pieces. These faux fries are then placed alongside the custom Lego fried chicken on the plate, completing the tasty illusion.

A Viral Craze

Though this remarkable video first appeared in August, it continues to captivate audiences worldwide. To date, the reel has amassed an astounding almost 3.7 million likes and almost 60 million views on Instagram.

Comments have flooded in, offering a variety of reactions. Some viewers are in awe of the video editing skills, while others find it “oddly satisfying” to watch. A handful even humorously mistook these LEGO food items for the real deal.

And speaking of custom LEGO food pieces, you may also want to check the delectable custom LEGO food pieces that are currently on sale at our official storefront over at The Brick Show Shop. We just restocked our famous B3 Custom pieces such as the Candy Pack Series, cereals, and more. Be sure to check this out as well.

LEGO LOTR MOC Gallery: Get Inspired With These 15 Amazing Brick-Built Vignettes

Advertisements

Since the launching of the LEGO Lord of the Rings: Rivendell set, many LEGO fans have taken to the internet to share their own LEGO LOTR MOC (My Own Creations), showing their love for this once prolific LEGO theme, especially over at Flickr. So in honor of LEGO’s Lord of the Rings theme’s 10th-year anniversary, I’ve put together a gallery of 15 amazing brick-built LEGO LOTR MOC vignettes that deserve a second look.

This collection features some of the best LEGO LOTR fan builders out there and highlights their collective work in giving key moments of the LOTR trilogy a unique LEGO twist. LEGO fan builders Thorsten Bonsch, Jonas Kramm, Marcel V., Forlorn Empire, and Grant Davis came up with a brilliant idea to recreate the highlights of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy through a series of brick-built vignettes that underscores each MOC (my own creation) builder’s unique techniques.

As of today, Grant Davis is the last builder tasked to cap off and render the final scenes of The Return of the King, and I have to say that his building techniques are pretty awesome. Here are the rest of the finished creations by these talented builders. I hope they inspire you to create your very own LEGO LOTR MOC as well.

Some of the Coolest LEGO LOTR MOC Vignettes Ever Built

There are so many impressive building techniques that were highlighted in these creations that it’s quite difficult to decide which is my favorite.  That brick-built Loudwater River vignette by Thorsten Bonsch is as impressive as the theatrical scene itself, using clear transparent bricks to recreate the magical currents conjured by Arwen.

The Mighty Balrog never fails to amaze me, especially when Jonas Kramm managed to capture its overwhelming presence in his version of the Bridge of Khazad-dum. Building this is quite a feat in itself, considering the challenge of building a towering figure in such a small space.

You can also feel the terror on Sam and Frodo’s faces in this Osgiliath-Nazgul scene recreated by Marcel V. You can also imagine the fear and uncertainty in the hearts of our heroic Hobbits throughout their seemingly impossible climb at the treacherous steps of Cirith Ungol, as envisioned by LEGO LOTR MOC builder ForlornEmpire.

But perhaps Grant Davis’ recreations truly won my heart, especially with his cleverly genius use of LEGO parts. That scene where Sam went face-to-face against Shelob was a testament to Grant’s outstanding creativity. His clever use of rubber wheel pieces gave this unsightly arachnid an almost realistic LEGO rendition. That entrance into Shelob’s lair is also noteworthy, with Grant’s painstaking re-creation of an entangled web. And finally, that Siege of Gondor vignette simply defies gravity as the impact of the boulder sends the tower’s debris all around. It’s as if Flash entered this scene and everything is frozen in time.

If you like these outstanding MOCs, please do these uber-talented builders a favor and follow their Flickr pages where they feature the rest of their creations.  Which of these LEGO LOTR MOCs blows you away? Let me know in the comments below.
