11 Celebs and Characters No Longer Allowed in Malls

Here's a rundown of people and pop culture characters that are no longer allowed to enter SM Malls. And they certainly can't buy replacement hammers anymore in the malls since authorities are STUPID enough to actually prohibit selling hammers inside department stores here in Manila.

1. MC Hammer



Sure 'hammer's not living here in the PH but that doesn't mean he can't be banned from entering malls particularly SM Supermalls. So maybe the next time he tries to enter, the guards be like 'STOP!.... Hammer time'.

2. Armie Hammer



The Lone Ranger star won't appreciate all the hate.

3. KIRBY



Poor Kirby...

4. GRAY FULLBUSTER (Fairy Tale)



No matter how powerful his ice-make magic is, it's no match for the power of Henry Sy and the DILG.

5. LAVI (D Grayman)



Definitely not getting in thanks to his giant hammer.

6. ZAPPA and LEAH (Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger)



The two classic characters won't be entering anytime soon especially Zappa who fits the stereotypical description of 'goons' in Pinoy setting.

7. HARLEY QUINN



Definitely. Add to the fact that she's still madly in love with The Joker.

8. FIX-IT FELIX JR.



Whenever he's there, you can bank on Wreck-it Ralph to be somewhere near.

9. THRALL



Even the leader of the free Orcs from Warcraft III and WOW won't be of any use. He could try to fry the guards with the chain lightning spell.

10. RONAN THE ACCUSER



We've seen how he manhandles opponents in Annihilation and Infinity so breaking glass is a piece of cake.

11. THOR, BETA RAY BILL and THUNDERSTRIKE



The most powerful Avenger and his allies all brandish hammers. Not a good idea.

So yeah, if these guys are going to play the blame game, they should probably blame the martilyo gang (english: Hammer Gang) for their brash heist of SM North Edsa last Sunday.

Guardians of the Galaxy Roles for Del Torro, Pace and Gillian Revealed

Den of Geeks is fighting the currents with their daring confirmation for the roles of three stars attached to Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" namely Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace and Karen Gillian.


The long retracted/ redacted role of the Collector (Taneleer Tivan) is given to Benicio Del Toro and if you look at the photo below, you'd see why this is a perfect fit.

If that's not a perfect fit then I don't know what is. My only concern is that Del Toro has this slurred speech. It's not an impediment but it does ruin some great dialogue (assuming we get good lines from this villain).

Here's a bit of info about the character from Wikipedia: "Taneleer Tivan is one of the Elders of the Universe and is close to his fellow Elder En Dwi Gast (the Grandmaster). He apparently came to self-awareness billions of years ago, on the planet Cygnus X-1. He is an enormously powerful being who wielded the Power Primordial and, though at first he took the appearance of an old human, his true form is a powerful alien."

Former Dr. Who star Karen Gillian's role has also been revealed as being the alleged granddaughter of Thanos, the intergalactic terrorist Nebula.

Here's her stat card from way back when Marvel still pushed trading cards...

This of course debunks the previous rumor I posted about the redheaded beauty being cast as Angela. Which kinda sucks because with her auburn locks, she could've been perfect as the angelic Spawn-hunter.

My favorite 'confirmation' however happens to be what actor Lee Pace will be playing. According to the news that Den of Geeks broke, the former star of "Pushing Daisies" will be playing the role of Kree accuser and frequent Fantastic Four foe Ronan the Accuser.

OK, I'm not 100% sure about how he's going to bulk up considering that Ronan is a pretty physical character but I do know that Pace has the acting skills needed to deliver meatier, statesmanly lines. You see Ronan's not just an alien brawler with a big-ass hammer, he's also what we could see as a judge in Kree society. He needs to be eloquent when he talks and I can see why Marvel Studios picked Pace for the role. For all we know this appearance of the Accuser will be all talk. One thing though, the character in the 616 Universe has faced off against both Gamorra (Zoe Saldana) and Drax the Destroyer (Batista) so it's highly unlikely that he'll be given a 'desk job'.

This confirmation might have some meat and truth to it, but until Marvel confirms this, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. We don't have to wait that long though since SDCC 2013 is around the corner, the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) might have a surprise treat for us.
