Deadpool had Many Creators
FINALLY some Deadpool origin coverage that puts Rob Liefeld in his place. The character has been getting a LOT of attention lately because of the feature film that is rocking the boxoffice this weekend, but also because of the epic level of cross promoting the hell out of the character and the movie. But a lot of this coverage online – on blogs and webshows that I LIKE – is dragging Rob Liefeld out of obscurity as if they...
Dazzler and Lila Cheney Star in Music Videos
Greasy Pig Studios has made some original music videos and decided that Lila Cheney should take center stage at a bar with the New Mutants in attendance. The song is ok. I didn’t hate it, but the cameo appearances of Longshot and bouncer Guido/Strong Guy were a lot of fun. Having them leave Stevie’s dance studio in the beginning was a nice touch. Seeing them tease their powers was cool, but hayseed mutant Canonball seemed...
First Look at Wonder Woman Film
Before we even get a chance to see Wonder Woman’s debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice we are now seeing her origin story in a stand alone Wonder Woman film and CW had a sneak peek at her film and a little bit about what we can expect. I still have my reservations about Gal Gadot. That she will now be carrying the legacy of this VERY important character in the DC Universe entirely on her shoulders is a little more credit...
New Suicide Squad Trailer Online
Suicide Squad has spilled a much better look at what we can expect from the upcoming film and I am impressed. Suicide Squad is going to heavily depend on whether or not we can like the characters. We know they are “bad guys” but they still have to be redeemable – at least a little. If they are bad and undesirable, there is nothing to make you want to root for them. They are being conned into being the good guys and...
Will Hulk be Joining Thor Ragnarok?
I did enjoy me some Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and the latest rumour is that Hulk’s self imposed exile will end with Thor: Ragnarok. ComicBookMovie is reporting: “The report states that Thor, facing Ragnarok itself, will team-up with the Green Goliath. While it’s unclear what the ratio of Banner to Hulk screentime will be, Hulk is said to be a featured “prominently” as part of the supporting cast.” Ragnarok is said to...
Anna Paquin Confirms she’s not Rogue in the Gambit Movie
Anna Paquin casually went on record to indicate that she – and therefore Rogue – would not be in the upcoming Gambit film. After being asked a few times on Twitter if she would appear she very succinctly said “no” without elaboration or opinion. I guess that’s when things blew up a bit and she clarified that she was just reacting based on what she knows. No one had approached her about being in the film....
Behind the Scenes – Designing DC’s Holy Trinity
In the above video from this week’s New York City ComicCon, we get to see some inside information about how they designed Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman’s looks for this version of the characters. What surprised me was costume designer Michael Wilkinson dropping that Diana (Wonder Woman) is immortal. I don’t recall her ever being immortal but that her super powers of resilience make her very resistant to aging....
Dimensions Voice Cast includes Pratt, Fox and Banks!
Lego Dimensions is set to take over the new gaming subgenre of console games that includes figurines to unlock characters and levels in game. But Lego Dimensions is more than a mashup of the Lego Movie crossover worlds and console gaming. Many of the original voice actors of those characters have returned to their iconic roles just for the video game! Chriss Pratt, Gary Oldman Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Joel McHale, Alison Brie...
More Speculation on The Hulk in Civil War
It’s been said already that The Hulk will be absent for Captain America 3: Civil War, and quite frankly that might be the only thing that stops this from being Avengers: Civil War. According to a translated portion of a news article in a German Tabloid ComicBook Resources quotes: While some details have most likely been lost in translation, Mark Ruffalo is Mark Ruffalo in any language. The report notes that the actors hung out...
Epic Rap Battles Stan Lee vs Jim Henson
Epic Rap battles always expose some deep dark dirty truth then gloss it over. Just what you think is dirt being slung at Lee and Henson, the truth comes out and hits hard. Three little circles that rule the world.
Deadpool will be Rated R
Of all the ways possible to break the news that Deadpool will be Rated R (AA in Canada), this may well be the BEST way! Ryan Reynolds reprises his role as Deadpool, and confirms that this is a different take on the presumed fate of Deadpool in Wolverine Origins (presumably altered by the events in Days of Future Past) and then rather surprisingly delivers the news that Deadpool will be Rated R. If this is even a hint at the type of...
Batman Arkham Knight Delayed until June
I have played all of the Batman Arkham games from Asylum to City to Origins and while it saddens me that this will be Rocksteady’s last version of the game (I hope it continues forever) the newest chapter is coming out soon. Well, less soon than we thought, but an official delayed release date has been announced. But while we are pining over the delay of this game, check out some extended gameplay footage! That was pretty...
50 Shades of Wayne Mashup Trailer is Creepy
With the Twilightesque blind popularity of 50 Shades of Rape Grey, it was only a matter of time before it was spoofed. But when this particular spoof artist decided to mashup another famous fictional millionaire into the trailer, we saw an even darker side of the man who would be the Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne. I wonder if this works so well because of the scenes in which Bruce was trying to be the irresponsible millionaire playboy jerk...
Gina Carano joins Deadpool
After Ryan Reynolds teased us with a prototype Deadpool mask last week, we now hear of the first casting news of the film that is less than a year away now. G33KHQ shares: Gina Carano has just been cast to play the character Angel Dust. The character Angel Dust in the Marvel comics is named because of her mutant ability to jack her adrenaline levels granting her superhuman strength – much like the PCP drug known by the sane code...
All Girl Avengers called A-Force?
It seems in the wave of comics trying to be more diverse than its already fantasy driven imagery (fun for boys and girls), Marvel will be releasing yet another all-girl title on its non-X side of the 616. A-Force. Mashable states: The A-Force will consist of She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and many others — including at least one new superhero, a “cosmically powered” heroine named Singularity. Now I have no issues...
David Tennant joins Jessica Jones
The new Netflix produced series based on a Marvel Superhero property will be Jessica Jones – which is about a retired superhero who becomes a private investigator of sorts. Jones will be played by Kristen Ritter (who I just love) and now the first villain of the series has been announced and will be played by David Tennant. InsideTV reveals: The studio has cast David Tennant as the major villain in its upcoming Netflix series...
Melissa Benoist will be Supergirl
Looks like CBS’s new take on DC Comics Supergirl has finally found its Kara El – Melissa Benoist! Most recently Melissa was one of Glee’s next generations – which spelled doom for the show as it now spends its last season rekindling its original glory with the original cast on a planned ending. But the only thing about that season that I liked was Melissa. (Yeah, I just admitted that I watch Glee – I was...
Young X-Men Cast for X-Men Apocalypse!
It looks like the younger versions of the “present day” X-Men have been cast for the 80s-centric X-Men Apocalypse. Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones) will be taking on the role of the Young Jean Grey. I like this not just because of her natural red hair, but because I feel the actress really has the ability to portray the shy vulnerability that a young scared Jean Grey will likely have. Tye Sheridan (Mud, Tree...
New Age of Ultron Trailer is Online
The brand new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer features plenty of Hulk Smash as well as some haunting Ultron scenes as we are reintroduced to the Avengers cast. The repeating musical score of Pinoccio’s “Have no strings” borrowed from the parent company Disney Vault, again plays to the theme of the created artificial son escaping his strings. I have a theory about the creation of Ultron as we already know that Stark...
Scarlett Johansson joins Ghost in the Shell
Scarlett Johansson has been the face of our favourite Russian Superspy turned Avenger, but it’s time to take on another iconic powerful female character. This time another comic books that was adapted into the classic Ghost in the Shell Anime. Hollywood Reporter Confirms: The actress has signed on to star in the anime-based, live-action thriller, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman)...
