Kevin Feige Comments On Wonder Woman & DC vs. Marvel

Media Release

Chris Pine recently started the DC vs. Marvel argument anew with his comments on Avengers: Infinity War. However, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige doesn’t think the two studios are at war and is actually a fan of the DC films. Feige tells Allocine: I but a ticket, and I watch the movie. “There is not really a rivalry. The rivalry is much more among the press, I think. Geoff Johns is a very good friend of mine. We grew up together in the business and recently celebrated Richard…

The Once and Future Captain America: A Secret Empire Hypothesis

Travis

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room first. In Marvel’s House of Ideas anything goes these days our good guys act like bad guys and our bad guys are now good guys. Sure, it can be an interesting plot device to make what we consider good and virtuous, evil and rank, because it humanizes our heroes. Deep down inside all of us, although we want the good guys to be moral and virtuous, we also sadistically want to see them fall. Personally, I don’t like this kind of story.…

Silver Surfer Gets Cancelled

Media Release

The solicit for Silver Surfer #14 reads: “Please join us for one final trip around the universe.” April’s issue of Silver Surfer #10 is estimated to have sold around 15K, which means the title has been long overdue to get cancelled. A few years ago when Joe Quesada was in charge, titles around the 20-21K mark would get the axe on a regular basis. Regarding Slott and Allred’s Silver Surfer, I wasn’t a fan at all. I prefer my Marvel COSMIC to have serious writing and photorealistic art (similar to…

The Future Of Spider-Man At Sony

Walt

Tom Hardy has signed on to star as Venom/Brock, with established Spider-Man producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach on board alongside Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer. October 5, 2018, has been earmarked as a release date, so Sony is going to have to get a move on. Put that with the news that a film starring two other Spider-Man allies/antagonists – Black Cat and Silver Sable – was also in development, it raises a lot of questions how you would make movies about Spider-Man characters without the main man himself Spider-Man.…

The cover by Mark Brooks is particularly interesting as it featured a “Classified” logo of some sort which seemingly gives away what’s to come in the series along…

VENOM: Tom Hardy Signs On To Play Eddie Brock In Spider-Man Spin-Off

Media Release

Sony Pictures announced today that Academy Award-nominated actor Tom Hardy has signed on to play Eddie Brock in their upcoming R-rated Marvel film Venom. The high-priority project is being developed as its own standalone feature, not as a Spider-Man spin-off, as the studio attempts to launch their own extended cinematic universe that will utilize characters from their surprisingly large Marvel library. It’s still uncertain at this point in time whether his arch-rival Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming) or by an older actor, will make any sort of appearance…

Sony’s Venom Solo Film Gets Official Release Date

Media Release

Spider-Man’s popular nemesis is finally coming to the big screen. But would Venom even be an actual spin-off, or a stand-alone film? A Venom solo movie has been a dream project of Sony’s ever since the alien-symbiote clad villain made his cinematic debut in Spider-Man 3 (2007). But the path to the silver screen hasn’t been easy. Many previous attempts in launching a Spider-Man series of spin-offs, including Venom, have failed, no thanks to Sony’s rebooting the Spider-Man franchise twice. But now, not only is the Venom movie back on…

Kurt Russell Younger Didn’t Use CGI for Guardians

Walt

SPOILERS: According to Kurt Russel the younger version of himself as Ego was mostly make up and not CGI. It seems amazing what they can do these days with special effects and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 had a very life like younger version of Ego (Kurt Russell) in the earlier part of the movie. If it in fact is true that it was make up that made him younger it was an outstanding job of deception. You really thought you were looking at a younger version of…
