Reburned Cinematic Universe

The Reburned Cinematic Universe was a universe that was set to start Reburn's new adventures away from the mainstream universe. It was set to start its own little cinematic universe, including not only Reburn's stories but his villains' stories as well. Scarlet Phoenix, The Phoenix, and Decimator (all classic Reburn villains) were not set to return, due to their characters staying for the PCU, so that meant that Kolplain had to use some older villains and/or some new creations.

It was later confirmed that it would not continue Reburn's arc from the Xeno-Verse, in which he becomes evil in 'The Jakkals' and that the Fear storyline and the Chaos storyline could possibly make their way to the silver screen. Although fans liked this idea, they also wanted a fresh start for Reburn. And Kolplain listened. On December 18, 2019, the Kolplain Twitter account announced that the RBCU would contain a new storyline for Reburn to follow and that his father could possibly be the main character instead of him. This was FANTASTIC news.

Rumors shortly after this announcement made way on Reddit that a new villain crew called the "Haunters". Apparently this group would consist of (these were all new characters, so there is no official news on this): The Nuisance, Girderial, 4C3, Henry Staples, Hatman. Some brief details were given for each character. "The Nuisance is a man of many names... and bodies. Girderial is a very unnecessary addition to a team, for he could take a hundred men with his angelic powers on his own. 4C3 is a cyber-agent, capable of using and turning, into any weapon imaginable. Henry Staples is a natural leader, using his unmatchable genius to exploit any weakness on his enemy. Hatman and his hats go wherever they please, and nobody in the world can stop his love for them". Obviously the one who stands out is Hatman, who seems like a pointless creation (if real), but there simply could've been a twist to his character, something like Squirrel Girl.

The last amount of information we got before the extremely bad news was the working title for the first entry in the RBCU. "Our dream and vision for Reburn is forming in a very, very glorious way. We can't wait for you to see what we are creating, but unfortunately, the wait is necessary. To satisfy the long wait though, here's the working title for the first entry". What followed this post was pretty damn exciting. In big, bold, blue letters, a director's chair read: THE WAR BEGINS. This symbolized that Reburn's father, the original Reburn, would be the main character of the new saga.

But unfortunately, it seems that this vision will never come to fruition. On May 25, 2020, several cryptic posts seemingly revealed that Kolplain had canceled the upcoming RBCU projects. It has not yet been officially confirmed, but expect some official confirmation at some point on the matter. And even if it was canceled, there is no telling if it was going to be permanent or temporary. In the meantime, Kolplain has released the first comic-book in its revision of the PCU characters, and it is indeed a Reburn comic. Check out "Soldiers of the Storm: Reburn". It will, or is supposed to, fill in the gaps of the RBCU.

UPDATE 6/2/20: It has been confirmed that, no, the RBCU was not canceled, but was instead getting an added feature that most other Kolplain franchises are getting: comics. Alongside the first entry in the RBCU, the first comic entry in the RBCU will debut. It has also been confirmed that the working title of "THE WAR BEGINS" was not completely official. The working title was revealed to actually be called "Wicked". This hasn't exactly signaled or hinted towards any specific details about the film, but the OG Reburn (Ryan's father) is expected to be the main character.

One theory has been posted since this update was tweeted though. It states that this could be the introduction of some villains rumored to originally join the Xeno-Verse named Wick and Syn. Wick and Syn were SUPPOSEDLY two siblings, each with their own set of supernatural abilities. Wick was apparently the "Brother of Evil", with powers such as life-force absorption, demon-spawning, manipulation of death magic, and thalimancy (the ability to summon necromantic dark matter - pronounced "TAL-UH-MAN-SEE"). As you can see, Wick is EXTREMELY powerful, and definitely too powerful for Reburn... unless he's not alone *wink wink*. Syn was the "Sister of Sin", with abilities such as manipulation and spawning of hellfire, manipulation of interdimensional material and energy, and the ability to use beings' sins against them. So it is possible that the title "Wicked" is hinting at this.

UPDATE 6/20/20: It is official that, unfortunately, we will not see Dash return to the PCU as previously rumored. Instead, we will see him, alongside a different version of Splicer, return in the RBCU. Splicer is expected to return in the PCU, but he will appear in the RBCU as well.

Along with this announcement, the very first film to be part of the RBCU has been revealed. On June 15, 2021, the first entry in the RBCU, "Ascension", will hit theatres near you. Although this was VERY exciting, it was also confirmed that it is not the project that they are currently working on. The current MAIN project that is being worked on is (working title) Wicked. Many other projects for the RBCU are in the early stages of production, but Wicked is expected to be the 2nd installment in the saga.

Many fans, since the 13th of June, have speculated that the final film of the currently titled Wicked will have the aforementioned word in the title. This lead to several fan-made titles that are very intriguing. The first of these, that has no evidence or backup, but sounds dope, is "Reburn, the Wicked, & the Sinful". This, of course, would see the villains being Wick and Syn. But it seems that if we do see Wick and Syn, it may be later down the line. The second title, which has little evidence, sounds like something that we should be surprised we haven't seen yet. The title is "Reburn: Wicked". This is very basic, but, in theory, is plausible. According to the person who "found" this, in the listings for jobs and on the upcoming films calendar, the film is listed as "REBURN: WICKED". He provided pictures, with the date being from 2018 of, at the time, upcoming movies up to 2023. In the listings, we also found "AVENGERS: ENDGAME", "TENET", and "THE MATRIX 4". This may be the final title, but this also means that we will see this film before the end of 2023. The third, which is the most popular at the time, and has the most evidence, is "Reburn: No Rest For The Wicked". Not only does this sound the coolest, but
