One of the most interesting aspects of the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War is going to be how Tony Stark and Steve Rogers will react to one another given their last appearance together was in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War where the characters left on….let’s say, less than friendly terms. Now thanks to some recent comments from Robert Downey Jr., we get an idea on how this meeting might go down – as well as his potential future as the fan favorite, Iron Man. The most recent issue of Empire Magazine (via CBM) has revealed plenty of interesting tidbits from the…

Between his directing duties on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, James Gunn wrote and produced an interesting little horror film called The Belko Experiment. The film received mixed reviews but still became somewhat of a cult favorite and despite featuring an ending which teased a sequel one has yet to come to fruition, but can we expect one in the future – Sean Gunn, brother of James, doesn’t think we will see a sequel – at least not any time soon. Whilst at the MCM Comic-Con in Birmingham this past weekend, I managed to ask Sean Gunn, who starred in…
I’m going to start this review with a bit of a confession – I’ve never read Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, the film that Steven Spielberg’s latest adaption is based on. That being said, it didn’t stop me from enjoying every moment of this film. So strap on those VR goggles, turn on that multi-directional treadmill and step into the OASIS. The plot of Ready Player One follows the heroically named, Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) as he and his friends navigate their way through the virtual reality world known as the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation) on the hunt…
Avengers: Infinity War is set to bring characters from all corners of the galaxy together for what is likely going to be the biggest event of the year, but with the MCU now featuring a wide array of genres it’s going to interesting to see just how some characters interact with one another. This is definitely going to be the case when it comes to Guardians of the Galaxy, whose ranks feature not only a sentient tree but also a talking Racoon who goes by Rocket Raccoon – something which may look a bit strange alongside the more grounded characters.…
The Fox series of Marvel films may not be long for this world, with the rights soon to be transferring to Disney, but that hasn’t stopped the studio from planning several spin off films in the interim. If they are looking for a team up film however, Deadpool actress Brianna Hildebrand, who portrays the perpetually moody and awesomely named Negasonic Teenage Warhead, has some ideas. While at MCM Comic Con in Birmingham, we were able to get her thoughts on which Marvel character she’d like to potentially team up with in the future. Thankfully, the character she chose was one already…
This past week, a rumor went around that Deadpool 2 had some pretty poor test screenings. It hadn’t yet publicly been denied by anyone associated with the film – though there was a story that suggested that the recent reshoots were to add more Cable and Domino, and now, that seems to be backed up by a member of the cast. At MCM Comic Con, we were able to get Negasonic Teenage Warhead actress Brianna Hildebrand’s comments on that recent rumor – and she denied it: “No, it was nothing that had gone wrong. I think it’s a common misconception too…
Now in it’s tenth year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gone from strength to strength. This is in part due to the actors who breathe life into the characters they play, whether it be Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark or Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. However with many of the lead actors’ contracts ending after Avengers 4, it sounds as though a few of these characters may be breathing their last breaths in Avengers: Infinity War. Whilst visiting the set of the upcoming film, SlashFilm asked directing duo, Joe and Anthony Russo whether we can expect to see any of the main…
Recent years have seen an explosion of ‘Shipping’, no, not the act of transporting items from one location to another, the exercise of pairing up fictional characters who fans believe should be together. One of the most popular franchises to feature this is definitely Star Wars, most notably the character of Rey, portrayed by Daisy Ridley. Fans initially paired her up with John Boyega’s Finn, but more recently the former Stormtrooper has been replaced by Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren as the object of her affection. Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has now spoken out about the couple, dubbed Reylo,…
A brand new Marvel trailer has just hit the web! No, it’s not the new Avengers: Infinity War one, but instead a trailer celebrating the collaboration between Marvel Studios and IMAX, featuring some interesting comments from cast and crew who have worked on the film’s that have utilized the feature. The collaboration between the two studios began with Iron Man 2 back in 2010 (Which would actually make it Eight years, not Ten as the titles suggests, but what are you going to do) and with the exception of Captain America: The First Avenger has been utilised with every film…
In regards to a character like The Joker, an ‘Over-the-top’ performance may actually work in the actor’s favor, although likely not when that performance is coming from Tommy Wiseau, the madcap director behind cult hit, The Room. This can be evidenced by a recent comedy skit released online courtesy of Nerdist. The short skit features Wiseau in full Heath Ledger get-up auditioning for the role of The Joker, presumably for the upcoming film. In the over the top style he is known for, Wiseau delivers lines of dialogue made famous by the characters appearance in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight…
