Hola! A very happy Tuesday to you! And we continue our week here with the most important of daily columns, the one and only Daily Blast, a distillation of all the nerdy news bits you may need to know!

On tap today: A spoliery new Guardians of the Galaxy toy, cats running a restaurant, JK Simmons yelling, and Amazon bought something that Google wanted.

All that and more - in today’s Daily Blast!

At the top of the post: Looks like Jeremy Renner may return as Hawkeye in Captain America 3

  • This new international trailer for Whiplash showcases a bit more of the extremes that JK Simmons goes to as a drum teacher. I’m very excited for this movie.

  • Mary Elizabeth Winstead is set to star in Bad Robot’s next big film, The Cellar. Deadline.com says that the movie is “about woman who wakes up underground after a terrible car accident and fears she’s been abducted. Her captor, a doomsday prepper, warns her that a terrible chemical attack has left the outside world uninhabitable but as tensions rise she decides she must escape regardless of the terrors that await outside.” Sounds pretty rad, right? This also serves as the debut feature from Dan Trachtenberg, whom you may remember as a part of the Totally Rad Show.

  • It’s never hit the quality of his prior shows, but maybe - just maybe - The Newsroom will be pretty good in its third and final season this fall, as teased above in this new ad.

  • This one is going to get confusing - Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar RodrÁ­guez-LÁ³pez, formally both of At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta, have a new band, called Antemasque. Their album drops this October. That said, it includes Flea and Dave Elitch—both of whom played with The Mars Volta - but this is NOT The Mars Volta. They swear. Hopefully, it’s better than the past few Mars Volta records.

Food

  • Pizza Hut Japan has either lost it, or are a bunch of geniuses. They’ve launched Pizza Cat a (not) real restaurant completely staffed by kitties!

That’s it for today! See you tomorrow!
