Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell are The Fantastic Four!!


This isn't shocking for those that have been keeping up with the rumors, but to others it is a bit crazy! Well, not really when you take it in the 21st century but they have cast a brother and sister with one being adopted..we are guessing. That is big for Marvel's first family because Sue and Johnny are brother and sister and not same racial background like it has always been.

The other casting choices really aren't a surprise from previous reports but the inclusion of Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm (The Thing) is a new one for us. A good surprise if I do say so myself. The cast is Miles Teller will be Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara as Sue Storm (The Invisbile Woman), Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm (The Thing).

Also, rumors are saying the villain will be Dr. Doom...but maybe a female version of the character. The is crazy..just crazy enough. I suspect this will be one original take on the characters with director Josh Trank helming the project that should start filming in March. The release date is slated for June 19, 2015.

Simon Kinberg Turned in Fantastic Four Script + Testing for Leads Later in Month!


A little over 4 months ago, 20th Century Fox gave screenwriter Simon Kinberg the duty to rewrite the Fantastic Four reboot script. He delivered on the deal and sent it in today! That means we are getting progress on this severely pushed back film. Thats not all the big news on it either! They said testing for main characters Reed Richards and Sue Storm will be later this month if things go right.

The screen-testing that Variety magazine says is happening will involve Miles Teller, Kit Harington, Richard Madden and a few others. I'm rooting for Richard Madden. He looks the part! Now for the other strange casting choices. They want Kate Mara and Saoirse Ronan to test for Sue Storm. They are so young and I don't want a young FF team. I want a little more seasoned team, but this news isn't the most shocking.

The only actor known to be attached to the project for some time now is Michael B. Jordan. He is a great actor and I think he could be great but this film will make some enemies not on the racial side because he's black, but because they are messing with a Marvel character that has been around forever. Fanboys don't like change, but good things can happen when you do that. No news has been said on Ben Grimm/The Thing. I don't even know if he's in the film?! I have faith in director Josh Trank and his vision for now. I only ask to make an actual great FF movie for us fans. If not, send the property back on over to Marvel for a proper film.

More news to come!

Expect to see Fantastic Four in theaters June 19, 2015

Batman vs. Superman Has Its Wonder Woman!

Warner Bros. has announced that actress/model Gal Gadot (Fast and Furious 6) has been cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film.


Director Zack Snyder stated: "Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."

This casting isn't a huge shock because the character has been rumored for the past couple of weeks to be making some sort of appearance in the film. Whether it be a short cameo or a full main character remains to be seen. My guess is a character that comes more into play later in film or next film , perhaps a solo film? ehhh

Gal does have the strong female lead qualities in her, but for Wonder Woman it isn't the worst casting but may not be the best cast. I will reserve my judgement until I see footage of her.

Batman vs Superman will have Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent facing off against Ben Affleck's Batman/Bruce Wayne. Expect the epiciness to hit screens on July 17, 2015.

James Spader Cast as Ultron in Avengers 2!


Marvel wanted to break into the comic news area again after being shadowed by Ben Affleck thing. They decided it was a great time to announce who exactly will be playing the big baddie in Avengers: Age of Ultron. That person is James Spader!

James Spader is best known for being Alan Shore on Boston Legal and The Practice. Couldn't tell you anything about those shows because I'm not realllly sure that I have the right shows in my head. Boston Legal or The West Wing hmmm…never mind..political shows aren't my thing. Although, We geeks know him best as Dr. Dan Jackson from Stargate! Ya!

Ultron is going to be a big villain for the team of returning members and new members of The Avengers. It is a little fuzzy on how Ultron is going to be made without Dr. Hank Pym creating him, since, he won't really get introduced until Phase 3. Only time will tell..

The Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to theaters May 1, 2015

Mark Millar Says X-Men and Fantastic Four will Share Same Universe

Shared Universes have been on the rise with superhero films. Marvel got it right and now DC wants in with Batman Vs. Superman. Well another wants into the trend. 20th Century Fox owns the rights to Marvel properties including The Fantastic Four and X-Men. 20th Century's Marvel Consultant Mark Millar seems to think a crossover will happen very soon.



In a recent interview with SFX, he stated when asked if they will be crossing over at any point

“Without question I think you have to see some of these guys showing up in each other’s movies. I think the most exciting thing in superhero movies, until The Avengers came along, was when Nick Fury showed up in Iron Man. Even though it was a guy with an eye patch it was really cool – and I expect we will see more of that.”

Now honestly do they need to crossover? Not for sometime in they to be at all. X-Men has a vast cast of characters already and it grows with each film. Where does The Thing fit in? I guess I should leave that up to Mark Millar. He's good with those kinds of things. 

Still very exciting to maybe one day see two great teams cross paths. Lets still hope for a big meeting between all of them and Marvel properties. 

Bad Robot Releases Mystery Trailer Titled 'Stranger'


J.J. Abrams really knows how to be a secret kind of guy and it really gets the internet going on trying to figure it out. It started years ago and really took off with Cloverfield. I watched that damn trailer like 50 million times and only watched the movie like 3 1/2 times maybe? I don't know maybe 2/3. I was tired ok! He really has done it this time.

Randomly a new trailer was released for a secret project and it is elegant and beautiful in every way. The soothing voice of a scottish…english?…Well that area person and the great cinematography. Check it out below and tell us what you think it could be?

Is it original piece or adaptation of something? Lets go internet!

The Mystery Trailer is after the Jump!

David S. Goyer Gives Title ideas for Man of Steel Sequel Featuring Batman!


Warner Bros. blew everyone out of the water last weekend when they announced that the sequel to Man of Steel will feature the eagerly wanted return of Batman to the silver screen. I honestly don't know how somebody could not be freaking out right now at the thought of this actually happening!

Man of Steel scribe David S. Goyer was announced to return for the sequel featuring Batman. He gave a little interview and some thoughts on what the title could possibly end of being.
 "So the next film we’re making, we’re already in pre-production, comes out in summer of 2015 and it’s–we’re actually not sure whether the title is Superman vs. Batman or Batman vs. Superman but yes, it’s–that rematch, that combination, the two guys onscreen and that’s happening.”
 Also, reports are coming in that WB bought the domains for SupermanVsBatman.com, BatmanVsSuperman, and BatmanVsSupermanMovie.com. I can only imagine the team of guys staring a board with two names and taking votes on which one. I would just close my eyes and aim and hopefully hit the board (area). Quite an accomplishment in my book.

More news to follow! What do you think it should be titled?

Comic-Con: Avengers Sequel Officially Titled 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' + Logo!



Marvel just dropped a huge bomb! They sneakily entered a quick little trailer into their Hall H presentation for the Avengers sequel! It is officially titled Avengers: Age of Ultron.

This was a huge surprise and greatly loved by anyone who read the crossover series this summer! This is big news for where we will see this series go. We actually might get to see more of Hank Pym before  the Antman movie likely.

The footage was showing a alien temple with a man walking up to it and than some quick footage of The Avengers with lines from the first one. Than we get a shot of Ultron's pretty CGI face! Than bam title pops up to crowd applause.

I can not wait for this!

Thoughts on Marvel using comic story arc for film?

Comic-Con: Superman/Batman Officially Announced!!

Holy S@#$ Batman!! Warner Bros. Just announced something that will blow away any doubts it would ever happen. After so many years of rumors and nothing happening, Warner Bros. announced at the end of the pretty spectacular panel that a Man of Steel sequel will be made. Just not any old sequel. It's a Superman/Batman Worlds Finest movie!!

Ok this just blew me away. I knew they wanted to do something with Batman before Justice League but not the epic Superman/Batman movie.

At the end of the panel, they pulled a "oh one more thing" and Zack Snyder pops up on stage and thanks for the support of Man of Steel. He than announces Man of Steel sequel with
“It’s official that we are gonna make another Superman movie… The truth is you don’t want me to tell you what the movie’s about, but I can say that maybe there’s a single element that will be in the film that I could help you out with…”
Then, Man of Steel star Harry Lennix comes out to read a passage from Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns.
He reads "“I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments. I want you to remember my hand at your throat.  I want you to remember the one man who beat you.”
Than the lights go out and a logo pops up on screen showing the Batman symbol behind the "S" Shield!! Superman/Batman is officially on people!!

Here is the logo that popped up on screen

Rumor: Christopher Nolan Overseeing Justice League, Zack Snyder Maybe Directing, and Christian Bale Back as Batman

This has to be one of the biggest rumors that Latino Review has released in a very long time (although they can be very credible). It blows the Marvel 'World War Hulk' Avengers storyline out of the water. Before I go any farther in this rumor…just know it is exactly that and I have trouble believing all of it. Just so many factors I see that go against it.


The rumor is a behemoth, Latino Review reported last night that Chris Nolan has already taken over the DC Universe at Warner Bros and every superhero film in production must go through him first. That is a huge thing to drop but lets move on first. Also, they said that Zack Snyder is going to co-produce, if not maybe direct it with Christian Bale returning as Bruce Wayne/Batman. This whole article just got crazy and your (if your a geek/nerd) mind is going nuts right now.

So lets get in the fine points of this and strip down them (the rumors, people).

Chris Nolan taking on godfather role over DC Universe 



Chris Nolan taking on a huge role in overseeing DC Universe pictures for Warner Bros. is a huge nerdgasm for all fans, but honestly what are the chances of him doing that. Nolan is known for giving us the biggest Batman series with arguably one of the best pictures of the century. He is a huge fan himself, but he doesn't want to always be doing superhero stuff and he's said that before. This man is a highly productive sought after director. How can the man who only works on one film at a time manage a vast catalogue of superheroes leading up to Justice League film. I think chances are slim for him to be a big contributor in the grand scheme, but maybe a guy to help bring the players together and make something happen and put in his 2 cents. I just don't see him in a Kevin Fiege role (only purpose is to manage Marvel films), he is a filmmaker. I give this rumor a plausibility, but not to the full extent of him being greatly involved.

Zack Snyder Producing and Possibility Directing 


Zack Snyder is a huge fan of all things comics and with a two great comic book films under him (300, Watchmen), and with hearing early reviews of Man of Steel being amazing, I can see this man up for the challenge of producing and even directing a Justice League film. He knows a lot about how the mechanics of these types of films work and has a great visual appearance in all of his films. The balance of Justice League resting on the shoulders of Man of Steel, If proven a success, Warner Bros. would be in great thought to get him on board. I think this rumor is very plausible and I can see him wanting to take on the film.

Christian Bale returning as Bruce Wayne aka Batman 


Here is the only really big problem I have with this rumor. Christian Bale is a great Batman, don't get me wrong, but he has said the only way he would come back was if Nolan came up to him with a way to make a fourth film work. Would Justice League be considered the fourth film? Warner Bros. reportedly wants to tie the world into The Dark Knight universe, while cool, would really make the 3 films have no meaning with seeing how Bruce Wayne became something bigger and changed things in Gotham and put up the cowl. Although, I do admit, since Man of Steel is said to be more down to each and in tone of the series, I can see it happening. I think I could adjust to it sooner or later. Still, it doesn't change the fact that Bale would likely only join if Nolan was somewhere on board. So it is true Nolan is overseeing it, Bale couldn't be to far behind the bandwagon. 

Just remember folks, these are all just rumors for now. No matter how crazy they are, you just never know. Latino Review has a pretty good track record with DC, but we all get stuff wrong sometime...

Matthew Vaughn Producing Fantastic Four Reboot


Last year, 20th Century Fox hired Mark Millar (writer of Kick-Ass and The Ultimates) to be a consultant on all of their Marvel Comic film adaptations. Well, this man has been busy over that time with getting all the players together and making magic happen. Well, he tweeted some very interesting news that Deadline has confirmed (but I still didn't doubt it coming from the main man himself).

Millar tweeted this:

That makes me very excited! Trank had a fantastic (see what I did there) first film with Chronicle and I expect great things with his take on Fantastic Four, but now that Vaughn is stepping in to produce, I am  so excited now! Vaughn has an amazing record with us comic geeks doing X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass. So expect some big news in future of this film.

We are still speculating that 20th Century Fox wants to a single universe, much in the way Marvel is doing in house with their properties. It makes perfect sense for them to do that with them owning Fantastic Four and X-Men.

Do you guys want to see Fantastic Four rebooted? Or Vaughn producing?

Justice League Film Script Reportedly Horrible and Scrapped

The Justice League just can't catch a break at all. After so many false starts over the years, we were finally given a date of 2015 for feature film. Well, it seems like that just won't be happening anytime soon. The script was being written by Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall and rumored to have Darkseid as villain while featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green lantern. Sounds very intriguing and Avenger beating worthy, but problem is Beall could have messed up big time with it.


Badass Digest is reporting that they have heard from numerous sources close to the project that the script is "terrible" and WB has decided to scrap it. Some of them say it will fall apart and never get made, while others say WB will keep pushing forward because the superhero team movie wagon is just so good to be on.

Apparently the script was off to a bad start and the studio was getting their minds to mixed up on who to feature. Even with all this talk of having the film, WB recently admitted that they were getting the jitters of going forward with their set 2015 date and decided to see how Man of Steel will do this year. The script was also rumored to be the biggest point why no director has signed on. They know when they got a dud or gold on their hands. (Good call Ben Affleck! Still want you to direct though…)

Guess what WB. I have a better plan for you to get the Justice League film out by 2018. First, comes Man of Steel this year, 2013. Next, skip 2014 (sorry but we want substance over rushed) and give some time for a summer release for Wonder Woman in 2015. Than, we get The Flash in 2016 along with Man of Steel 2 and Green Lantern Reboot respectively in 2017 to lead up to a epic Justice League film in 2018. Gives time between films and cameos of heroes in each (if not easter eggs like something like building of the watch tower). Also, they had it right to feature Batman again in Justice League, but maybe cameo him in Man of Steel 2 would be better introduction.

What do you guys think should be done for Justice League? Should it die or live on with a new writer?

Rumor: Marvel has Big Plans for Hulk after Avengers 2

POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR MARVEL'S FUTURE FILMS!!!


This is some big news, if it turns out to be true, we will be seeing more Hulk than we initially thought. Bruce Banner/Hulk isn't getting his own film in Marvel's Phase II, although he was the life and best part of The Avengers. So, what does that mean for the big giant? Well, he will be given a Phase III movie and a huge part of The Avengers 3. Now, just take all of what I said and will say as rumors from  a source at Latino Review (which they have been pretty spot on with a lot of Marvel news).

So, stating that we are having a huge slate of Phase II sequels to Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers, and new entries Guardians of the Galaxy than Ant-Man, and Doctor Strange for Phase III. The Hulk is nowhere in sight until The Avengers 2. Well, with what rumors have been circulating, the Hulk will be given a third act or post-credit scene to set up his on film in Phase III. Pretty sweet huh? gets better…

The Hulks next standalone film is based on Planet Hulk! That is just awesome!!

  • So how does that post-credit scene lead up to that? The Marvel Cinematic version of the Illuminati (in comics consist of Iron Man, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Prof. X, etc…) will deem the Hulk too dangerous for Earth and ship the guy into space. He will end up on a plant…Planet Hulk…well actually it's called Sakaar. He will go to gladiator-type games against other aliens, while being enslaved and then becomes a hero and starts a rebellion against the King. *causes trouble everywhere doesn't he*. 


Doesn't end there, no sir! 

  • Well, somewhere down the line Hulk makes his way back to earth. And I don't know about you but I'd be a wee bit POed at the guys who sent me into deep space. So the rumors go that The Avengers 3 will largely be based the hit series World War Hulk, where Banner and his new army take on the Avengers, who banished him. Sounds absolutely crazy! So crazy it just might work. 
This is all speculation for now, but if true we shall see Hulk be a bigger part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with adaptions of Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. Expect news to come !

Justice League Film Depends on Man of Steel Box Office


Well, this news really isn't surprising at all. Variety did a very long article on Warner Bros. President Jeff Robinov and talked about the franchises they have with Hangover, Hobbit, yada yadada yada, ahh here is the part, they state that the life of Justice League film is depending on how well Man of Steel does with everyone and makes a pretty penny. Variety States

Further out, the studio's planning a "Justice League" tentpole -- encompassing DC Comics mainstays Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and the Green Lantern -- on the order of Marvel's "The Avengers." Will Beall is scripting but no director has been attached yet.

Stakes are high for "Man of Steel." Other than Nolan's Batpics, Warners has not been able to effectively exploit the DC library. Its 2011 "Green Lantern" underperformed, and a "Justice League" film wouldn't likely be in theaters before 2015, as Warner's top brass has indicated that they are awaiting the results of "Man of Steel," which opens June 14, before moving further ahead.
 There you have it. Nothing really different than people talking business. They just really need to have a better approach at casting, picking directors, and getting the films all together in same universe. Green Lantern failed at pretty much all those, but Man of Steel is shaping up to be rather good looking. Just have to wait and see if we get to the team gear up together.

Lucasfilm Getting Sold to Disney! Star Wars Episode 7 in 2015!!

Lucasfilm is getting sold to Disney!! *jaw dropped* Star Wars Episode 7 coming in 2015!?! *jaw hit the floor* I totally saw this coming guys…not really. I knew something big was going to happen with Lucasfilm soon, after George Lucas has been looking to secure a good future for his baby, but selling to Disney wasn't in my sights. It's a smart move on their part.



The whole press release is long and pretty awesome read but some highlights are:

Disney will buy Lucasfilm for a small price of $4.05 billion! Pocket change for the House of Mouse.

Current co-chairman Kathleen Kennedy will become President of Lucasfilm. Sorry George.

Disney will intrigate Star Wars into Disney theme parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris and Tokoyo. Pretty sweet! We can see Goofy and Chewie break it down in the park music show.

And lastly the little tidbit that Disney wants to release Star Wars Episode 7 in 2015!!! Not just one movie but release a new trilogy with films getting released every 2 years! It's all crazy I know it's freaking me out just a little..but pretty awesome to know George said he has story treatments for 7, 8, 9 and even farther in future. This man plans ahead. He realizes he created something bigger than him and it's so good to know he is fully aware of it and accepting enough to help with it. He will remain on hand during the film production as creative consultant/Yoda on shoulder.

A sad thing that was mentioned in a press conference is Indiana Jones will be put on ice for the near future with George saying they will concentrate on Star Wars franchise for time being. So no Dr. Jones going off getting into some trouble with some foreign nations bad guys over an artifact that belongs in a museum. *man cry*

Here is the full press release and videos of them discussing Star Wars future. (very informative) and next video is the signing of papers for the acquisition with a speech by Lucas before it. (pretty good too).

Warner Bros. Want Justice League Film for 2015!

I have already said this news a few months ago when it was rumored Ben Affleck was directing the film. Well, after the big win of WB over the Superman creators family just the other day, we will get a Justice League film for sure.


LA Times said the studio wants to "accelerate development" of the film and get it into production and finished by next year (holy sh$% batman! that is not very much time). I mean they don't even have a director or producers hired yet! Maybe they meant film from 2013-2014 for release in 2015. More reasonable I would say. Also, rumors say the film would have Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern (with maybe more). I'm rooting for Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter.

This is still odd approach by WB not following in Marvel's steps of single films before the big united film and squaring off against The Avengers 2. WB plans to release Justice League first with rebooting Batman and hopefully Green Lantern in it and going into single films after. Maybe it will work ehhhh.

More to Come!

Ant-Man Gets A Release Date!!

Ant-Man was something that has been in the shadows of Marvel for sometime and we got a pretty sweet sneak at what was in the making at SDCC earlier this year. Well, Disney has made it official! The release date announced today and it's a little far away but close enough to still get all of us nerds going.

The release date is November 6, 2015!


The Avengers 2 will be released will hit theaters May 1, 2015. So a few months before.

The news is likely but I was/am hoping for him to be included in The Avengers 2 as a character but I guess a solo film after it will be a big winner too. I wonder if he will be cameoed or big player in The Avengers 2 or not at all. Who knows (Joss Whedon does that sly boy)? Nonetheless, I am very excited for this character And to see what the film will have in for us Phase III of the Marvel Universe!

Rumor: Viggo Mortensen is Dr. Strange in Thor: The Dark World?!

The rumors for the next phase in Marvel films have finally hit and it's not the most far-out there idea. Most of the rumors I will talk about in years to come won't turn out real or pan out. Some get through the filter as real and happen. This rumor that Viggo Mortensen could take the mantle of Dr. Strange in Thor: The Dark World should be taken more seriously than others because of the source.


The source is (believe it or not but do) is a twitter feed by an person named Roger Wardell, who has confirmed some reliable information in past way before the official statement. So, I will take this rumor more seriously knowing that.

He tweeted:  "“Inside News: There’s something “Strange” about Thor: The Dark World" and in a separate text "“Inside News: Marvel is negotiations with Viggo Mortensen for an unspecified role in one of their Phase 2 films”"
So naturally, put the tweets together and boom a good casting call that does make sense. Take it as you will, but Dr. Strange is a bigger character in the universe and a script for a solo film has been in development for a few years now. A few domains have been bought in Strange's name a while back. He is coming sooner or later.

Ben Affleck Directing and Starring in Justice League Film?


I know you are likely scratching your head after reading that the guy from Gigli or Mall Rats is in the eyes of Warner Bros. to direct the highly anticipated superhero film Justice League! Well, it isn't that far fetched with Affleck becoming a very serious director in recent years with some critically popular films Gone Baby Gone and The Town. He has become one of hollywoods most sought after directors and he does come with a plus (or minus), he will only direct movies he stars in also to some capacity. So expect him to suit up likely.

Affleck, at the moment, is the only person the Will Beall (Gangster Squad) written Justice League script was sent to. This is a big move on Warner Bros. to show such hope that he will accept. The script was completed last summer but has been saved until they decided on who to offer the film to and it will bring DC Comics biggest heroes together including Batman, Superman, Green lantern, Wonder Woman, and The Flash. That is going to be one epic hero film that will rival The Avengers in all aspects. The craziest part is they are eying a possible Summer 2015 release date!!


I think this could be a mistake since we don't have any Marvel set-up with single films before hand. It could be smart for Warner Bros. to decide to have 2 films each year starting with Superman next year and have a film by 2018. Gives more time to tie the worlds together and give characters origins (excluding Superman and Batman). America needs some Flash and Wonder Woman introduction.

The only hold-up that could effect Ben from taking the job is the commitment. He is a high demand director and actor at the moment and if he took the job, it would put him unavailable as director the next couple of years. He still would be able to act in other films, likely, but limited number of time away from film.

The coolest part about it maybe coming in 2015 is it will square off agaist Joss Whedon's The Avengers 2. This could end up becoming the biggest battle ever at box office and nerds will rejoice everywhere.

Affleck is supposed to meet with Warner Bros. later this week to talk about it and maybe soon we get a decision on what he shall chose. I'm all for it!!!

Cameron Gives Avatar 2 and 3 Release Dates

Director James Cameron announced that Avatar 2 will be released Christmas 2014 with Avatar 3 being released Christmas 2015. Sounds way to far away.


Cameron told Entertainment Weekly "I am in the process of writing the next two ‘Avatar’ films now. We are planning to shoot them together and [edit them in post-production] together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart.” That is actually the smartest thing to do with sequels. You will get the most money with them spaced out about a year.

Also, when asked about characters returning from the first one, he said “Basically, if you survived the first film, you get to be in the second film, at least in some form.” So, does that mean we will see Sigourney Weaver back?

Producer Jon Landau confirmed the earlier rumors that Avatar 2 will be mostly set in the Ocean, but not a full underwater movie. If it was an underwater movie, I would guess it to be like Cameron's The Abyss. 

The best news is the second film will not end in a cliffhanger like previous back-to-back sequels have done so over and over. Thank god. 

Avatar 2 will be released Christmas 2014 and Avatar 3 release will be Christmas 2015
