Many fans are excited for the upcoming release of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. One British baker felt so inspired by the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 trailer that she baked a Baby Groot-shaped cake and recorded the whole process to share with other fans.
In the video above, Zoe of Zoe’s fancy cakes shows fans how to create a cake that look’s like Baby Groot’s head using some fondant, food spray, edible paint, and other baking tools and ingredients.
Here’s how Zoe describes the process:
“Cream together the butter and sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla essence. Once smooth and creamy, fold in the flour.
Pour in to a greased cake tin and bake in the oven at 180degrees for approximately 40 minutes, until golden brown and a knife comes out clean.”
Sounds delicious. Now, who’s up for giving it a try in their own kitchen? The entire recipe is available on the Zoe’s Fancy Cakes YouTube page beneath the video.
Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
Marvel’s Iron Fist is less than two months away. As the latest Marvel series on Netflix draws near, more information about the character, the series, and his role and the crossover series Marvel’s Defenders.
There’s also been plenty of photos of Iron First, but there’s something missing from these. None of the photos of Iron Fist so far show Danny Rand in the actual Iron Fist costume. Instead, actor Finn Jones has mostly appeared in an open shirt that shows off the dragon tattoo on Iron Fist’s chest.
So will fans get to see the classic Iron Fist costume on the Netflix series? It’s hard to say. Looking at the three Marvel series released on Netflix so far, the pattern has been downplaying the importance of a superhero persona for these street level heroes.
In Marvel’s Daredevil Season 1, Matt Murdock only dons the Daredevil costume in the final episode. He wears an upgraded version throughout Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2. However, Daredevil is an exception among the Defenders in that he is the only hero in the group who has a true secret identity.
Jessica Jones briefly played with the idea of a costume and a secret identity, mostly at the urging of Trish Walker. Jessica’s run-in with Kilgrave put an end to that and to her time playing at being a superhero. Now she’s private investigator with a public persona.
In a way, the very persona of Luke Cage is a secret identity, since Cage was born Carl Lucas. Even so, Cage doesn’t make use of a costume. There was a reference to Cage’s classic costume in an episode of Marvels Luke Cage, but otherwise, the closest thing to a costume the Cage has worn is a hoodie. Now that his identity and abilities are publicly known, he has even less reason to pursue a secret superhero persona.
So where does that leave Iron Fist? If Danny Rand is planning on keeping his persona as a corporate leader, then he may employ some kind of masked hero identity, perhaps by cutting some eyeholes into a bandana. This seems like it will become a necessity eventually.
On the other hand, perhaps Rand leaves his corporate life behind and joins up with Luke Cage to form Heroes for Hire full time? If that’s the case, he may not need a superhero costume and if he does use one it would almost certainly be a bit more modern and realistic than his comic book look.
Our best bet is that we at least see a version of Iron Fist’s classic costume during his journey to K’un Lun. The look would seem far less outlandish in such a fantastic realm. Whether or not he leaves the look behind when he returns to Earth could go either way.
There have been hints that the threat the Defenders will face in their series is most closely related to Iron Fist lore. If that is the case, there may be cause for Iron Fist to have a more traditional look.
Marvel’s Iron Fist premieres on Netflix on March 17, 2017.
Last week, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn flew to London to work on the film’s score. Over at Abbey Road Studios, Gunn joined composer Tyler Bates as he composed the music for the upcoming Marvel movie.
While the director previously shared the first pieces of the score during a Facebook Live video, he decided to leave fans with one more sneak peak before heading back to the States.
On his personal Instagram account, Gunn shared a look at a chorus recording pieces of the music. The group vocal artists sounds incredible together, and will surely add to the already-promising composition of Guardians Vol. 2.
Fans have enjoyed Gunn’s sharing of this behind-the-scenes work, as it helps to bring them closer to the filmmaking process. Instead of just seeing a finished product in the theater, Gunn helps viewers to realize how much it takes to make a movie happen. He allows people to see other folks – just like them – help bring the Guardians to life.

Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) were part of the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD family for two seasons, with Bobbi debuting as a triple agent and Lance joining in as her nearly clueless mercenary ex-husband.
Bobbi and Lance sacrificed their career in espionage to save their teammates and were honored with a “spy’s goodbye” from Coulson’s team. That wasn’t supposed to be the end for them. Palicki and Blood were meant to reprise their characters in the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD spinoff titled Marvel Most Wanted.
ABC passed on Most Wanted. Now fans wonder if Bobbi and Lance could be headed by to Agents of SHIELD. According to the showrunners, probably not.
“One can only dream,” Agents of SHIELD executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen tells Entertainment Weekly. “That’s always on our minds.”
“Once an agent, always an agent, so it’s always out there in the ether,” executive producer Jed Whedon adds. “But right now we’re taking a breather.”
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. In the next episode, “Hot Potato Soup,” Agents Sam and Billy Koenig (Patton Oswalt) are hunted down to get at the Darkhold book, and only Coulson and the team can save them before the clock ticks out.
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns with a vengeance for the fourth exciting season in an all new time period, Tuesday at 10:00 p.m. ET. In the aftermath of their journey to another planet, Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the rest of the team were driven more than ever to put an end to the Hydra organization. Little did they know that they were up against the deadliest threat they’ve ever faced – an extremely powerful Inhuman, Hive, who was transported back from Maveth in the body of their worst enemy, Grant Ward. The team was able to thwart and kill Hive and take down Hydra, but they are all still mourning the death of fellow agent and Inhuman, Lincoln Campbell.”
