But despite being a third film, the director isn’t viewing them as a trilogy.

So, the character’s name was changed to Oswald Cobb, or Oz Cobb, which definitely doesn’t sound silly at all, and in a recent interview with SFX Magazine (via ComicBookMovie.com), producer Dylan Clark offered a bit of context as to why that decision was made.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “They never got around to cha…
