Needless to say that you wouldn&#8217;t want it in the hands of someone like the Red Skull. Reports state that the Cube will be renamed &#8220;the Tesseract&#8221; for the movie, but will pretty much function as the same thing as its four-color counterpart. Granted, the Cube that Weaving is holding looks pretty much like a lump of plastic, so I&#8217;m assuming (hoping) that there will be some visual effects wizardry to give it a more powerful demeanor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Marvel Studios honcho Kevin Feige recently stated that this May&#8217;s release of Thor is the studio&#8217;s superhero film franchise&#8217;s first step &#8220;into [the cosmic Marvel Universe] and from there, anything\u2019s possible.&#8221; Well, it&#8217;s looking like <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/01\/09\/so-what-is-that-cube-like-object-hugo-weaving-is-holding-spoilers\/\" title=\"So What Is That Cube-Like Object Hugo Weaving Is Holding?
