Old news is that Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Malcolm in the Middle) will be playing Zordon in the upcoming Power Rangers reboot. You may remember that Zordon is that floating head in the tube. Even older news is that Cranston had worked on the original series, and that the Blue Ranger, Billy Cranston, was named after him. Back in 2009, Cranston was asked about his Power Ranger roots in an interview with IGN:”IGN: Bryan, I was looking at your IMDB credits and it’s a long and impressive list, but there’s one I just have to ask about it, because it…

Recently, we got our hands on some Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Age of Ultron concept art. It’s interesting to see how the movies could have looked. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows may not have been the best Turtles movie, but it did look good. Beebop and Rocksteady looked and acted exactly like they should. And Krang wasn’t too bad either. It was crazy hearing Brad Garrett’s (Everybody Loves Raymond, ‘Til Death) voice. Check out how Krang, Shredder, Casey Jones, Splinter, and the Turtle Van could have looked via artists Daniel Edery and Jared Krichevsky: Check…

I don’t know how seriously I’m supposed to take this. But when I heard that Anna Kendrick wanted to play Squirrel Girl, I couldn’t stop laughing. I mean, sure, she would probably make a good Squirrel Girl. But the character, herself, I just can’t take seriously. I mean, really, I’m not even sure the writers do. Out of all the heroes who have the potential to take down Thanos, they choose her. So, her wishes have made their way to our favorite graphic artist. BossLogic shows us what the Pitch Perfect star would look like if Marvel listened, and cast…

Remember a couple months back, when we had that fiasco with the much anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the follow-up to Man of Steel? Of course you remember. At first, the opinions seemed pretty split, with critics slamming it, and fans loving it. But as time went on, many started to turn on the filmmaker, who also did the first installment. Petitions started to rise, to get Zack Snyder out of his contract, and not have a hand in the conclusion to his trilogy, that being Justice League. Now, in a surprising turn of events, people are…

Agents Blake and Sitwell started popping up here in there, mainly in the Marvel One-Shots. Most recently,…
