This past week, Warner Brothers released their highly anticipated superhero film, Wonder Woman, and as is the case with most recent comic book adaptations it took a much more grounded approach to bringing the character to the big screen. With the film currently rated ‘Certified Fresh’ on Rotten Tomatoes with a critic score of 94%, it seems that this was the correct course of action. But does this mean that we won’t be seeing any of the more outlandish parts of the characters comic history? Director Patty Jenkins seems hopeful we will. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Movies, Jenkins…

Last week, some cages were rattled when it was announced that The Alamo Drafthouse was having a ‘women only’ screening of the upcoming Wonder Woman in honour of the first big budget superhero film to be centered around a female character. Whilst this should a perfectly reasonable suggestion, some men took offence and as such, have attempted to claim another film as their own. Read on to find out more. The film that the group are attempting to gain a ‘Male-Only’ screening for is Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which is set to hit theatres this December. However unlike Wonder Woman,…

Before we get started, I will warn you that the following article features SPOILERS for Marvel’s Secret Empire. Marvel’s latest Comic Book Event, Secret Empire has been no stranger to controversy, with the story so far featuring Captain America becoming the ultimate agent of Hydra and longtime Avengers ally, Rick Jones finding himself on the receiving end of a firing squad. But the latest twist the story has introduced will see yet another fan favorite character turn to the dark side, something which is likely to cause a stir in the comic community.

One of the highlights of this year’s superhero epic, Logan, has to be Dafne Keen as Laura AKA X-23. Many critics agreed the young star managed to hold her own against such veterans as Hugh Jackman and Sir Patrick Stewart and some even saw her as the highlight of the film. A new interview has revealed we nearly had a very different actress in line for the part. Read on to find out more. In a recent interview with Variety, Millie Bobby Brown revealed that she actually auditioned for the role of Laura with both Jackman and the film’s director…

Everybody loves Easter Eggs, no I’m not talking about the chocolate kind that turn chubby American children even chubbier, although they are pretty great. I’m talking about the Easter eggs that give us Adults Nerd-Boners and have us hunched over our keyboards debating what they mean. One of the most elusive Easter Eggs of recent years is the one from Guardians of the Galaxy that director James Gunn has been teasing since the films release three years ago. Gunn has even gone so far as to offer a $100,000 prize to whoever can find it, something which he may regret…

Often times, the third film in trilogy has a bit of a rough time. It’s happened to The Godfather Part 3, Iron Man 3 and The Dark Knight Rises – but one of the most notable examples is 2007’s Spider-Man 3. Coming off the back of two hugely successful films, it was always going to have a lot to live up to, so when the film finally hit theaters to a series of underwhelmed reviews, fans were ultimately disappointed. However, word recently hit the web (pun not intended) that a new cut of the film was on it’s way, something which gave fans…

Replacing an iconic actor in a role can be daunting work, just recently a producer on the Logan film admitted it’s hard to even think about replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It is however nice when you see that there are no hard feelings between the original and their replacement, which is exactly what has happened between Ron Perlman and his successor David Harbour, soon to be taking over as the Red Badass, Hellboy. Fans were disheartened earlier this year to discover that often promised, Hellboy 3, was instead going to be a reboot starring Stranger Things actor, David Harbour.…

Movies based off video games have had a bit of a bad time of it in recent times, I was going to say that for every good one there are five bad ones, but honestly I can’t think of a good one… maybe Silent Hill – maybe. But it looks like Hollywood aren’t ready to call it quits as Sony has finally announced who will be playing wisecracking hero Nathan Drake in it’s upcoming big screen adaption of the hugely successful Uncharted series. Earlier today it was announced by Deadline that Spider-Man: Homecoming star, Tom Holland has been cast as Drake…

In the last twenty years, comic-book movies have seen Three Spider-Men, Three Hulks, Two Batmen, Two Supermen and Two Fantastic Fours, but the one thing that has stayed consistent during those times – Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Having vacated the role earlier this year in the critically acclaimed film, Logan, many fans have wondered whether we will see someone else don the claws in future installments. Thanks to a recent comment from the film’s producer, we have an idea what we can expect. During a recent Q&A for the film, Producer Hutch Parker was asked what the future will hold…

Earlier this year, Hugh Jackman, known for portraying Wolverine in the X-Men franchise finally hung up his claws for the last time in Logan. Those of you who saw the film, will remember that (Spoiler Alert!) the finale saw Logan lose his life in combat against a cloned version of himself. Whilst this seemed like a fairly poetic ending to the character, a recent comment by Jackman himself explains that it nearly had a very different ending. Read on to find out more. Jackman made the comment as part of a live Q&A that he took part in with Director,…
