WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I was trying to find out exactly who Druig was in the comic books and it seems not much is actually known about him other than he is Ikaris’ cousin (that wasn’t mentioned in the film…) and worked for the KGB…does this make Barry Keoghan’s Irish accent out of …

Please …

Before the Tremor
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I think I’ve said this before, but there’s a lot of times that turning a film into a franchise can really ruin a great concept.
