Nerd Christmas, or Comic Con as it’s known, is finally here and whilst the big presents won’t be unwrapped until the weekend, we’re still be treated to plenty of stocking fillers today. Today’s gift comes in the form of a sneak peak at Andy Muschietti’s upcoming remake of Stephen King classic, IT, and whilst the footage hasn’t actually hit the web, a couple of descriptions of the footage (and a new poster) have. The panel took place earlier today at a packed theater in the Gaslamp District. Director Muschietti was on hand to present two scenes from the film along…

As it stands, it’s currently unknown whether Sony’s planned film series centered around Spider-Man franchise will have any connection to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. As a result of this, it’s hard to know just which villains will be available to use by which studio. However – a recent rumor has hinted that the upcoming film, Silver & Black may actually feature a villain set up in Spider-Man: Homecoming. A recent report from That Hashtag Show has seemingly revealed some of the villains we can expect to see battling our titular heroines, Silver Sable and Black Cat. The report reveals that the…

Many fans were relieved when it was revealed that we weren’t going to be seeing poor Uncle Ben gunned down on our screens for the third time in fifteen years. I was, however, more concerned that I would fly into a fit of rage when I saw the lucky guy who was dating Aunt May. Whilst we may not be seeing the late Ben Parker on our screens anytime soon, Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland has an idea on who it should be. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, Holland revealed his number one choice to play role and…

Tomorrow night, myself and a few friends plan to meet up at a house, have a few beers, eat some pizza and play some Tekken 7. What we won’t be doing is engaging in sexual activities dressed as Batman characters….at least I hope we’re not. But that’s exactly what happened at a nightclub in Australia this past weekend, although unfortunately what started as a bit of adult fun, left two people in the hospital with gunshot wounds courtesy of the Gotham Melbourne Police Department. The incident occurred late Saturday night at the Melbourne nightclub, Inflation. The club was holding its…

Spider-Man: Homecoming has been swinging it’s way into theaters this week, and whilst it’s been heralded as one of the best films to feature the character, we’re going to take a look at the Spider-Man film that never was, namely Sam Raimi’s cancelled Spider-Man 4. We’ve done some digging to find out just what could have been. Background Despite Spider-Man 3 generally being considered a disappointment, both Sony and Raimi were intending to release Spider-Man 4 in 2011 based on it’s incredible commercial success. At the end of it’s run, the film had made $890 million, something which was a…

Nostradamus, George Orwell…..The Simpsons. These are seemingly the greatest seers of the future known to man. Much like the classic sitcoms prediction of a Trump Presidency, it now looks as though as they predicted the news that Joss Whedon was taking the reins of Justice League. Are the writers of the show actually soothsayers? Of course they’re fucking not, but seeing as you already clicked the link, let’s Bait that muthafuckin’ click! The prediction occurred in the episode ‘Married to the Blob’, which aired back in January 2014, over three years before the announcement was actually made. The episode saw…

Let’s be honest, X-Men: Apocalypse was a a bit disappointing. It tried to add everything, but ultimately ended up accomplishing nothing. Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of the film was the fact that it ended with longtime villain, Magneto, seemingly turning over a new leaf as a hero after helping to defeat Apocalypse. However, if a recent rumor for X-Men: Dark Phoenix is anything to go by, he won’t be on the side of the heroes for much longer. Nerdist has reported that the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix will see the Michael Fassbender’s Magneto return to his more villainous roots.…

Earlier in the year, it was announced that Avengers: Age of Ultron director, Joss Whedon had been hired by Warner Brothers to direct a film centred on DC heroine Batgirl. With the character yet to appear in the universe, talk has now turned as to who will be taking on the role in the series. However, if a recent leaked shortlist is anything to go by – we may have an idea as to who is in the running. Read on to find out more. The shortlist, which was first posted to /r/DCEULeaks has revealed that the studio is looking…

It goes without saying that Warner Bros. latest entry into The DCEU, Wonder Woman, has been an incredible success, not just for the studio but for female-led action movies in general. However, there’s one actress who doesn’t believe the film to be as revolutionary as people are making out. Read on to find out more. In a recent interview with Variety, former Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone revealed that she’s confused as to the attention that Wonder Woman is receiving for being for being a pioneer for films with female leads. She told the interviewer: “Before Wonder Woman…Wonder Woman? Before Wonder Woman…

Besides the odd Norse God, Russian Assassin and Wakandan King, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been distinctly American so far. That sounds like it may be on the verge of changing – as we may soon be seeing another Captain in the Marvel Universe in the near future. Okay, after Captain Marvel, we may be seeing another Captain joining in. During promotion for the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, Marvel Producer Kevin Feige was asked about the likelihood of Captain Britain joining the ranks of the MCU in the future, offering up a fairly optimistic response. Speaking to HeyUGuys he revealed: “We…
