Kevin Smith has become somewhat of a controversial figure as of late, but one thing which can be agreed upon is that the man loves his comics and by extension – comic book movies. So it should come as no surprise that the Clerks director has plenty to say about the recently released Suicide Squad.  Taking to his official Facebook page, the director had a passionate response to the film. Speaking about both the film and his respect for the film’s director David Ayer, Smith posted: While it seems very apparent that Smith did really enjoy the film (an opinion that…

Since its inception, the DC Extended Universe has avoided using the mid or post-credit scenes to add an extra treat for film fans. That looks to have changed with Suicide Squad’s release – and fans have discussed just what this mid-credit scene actually means. Be warned, the following article contains SPOILERS for Suicide Squad! During the middle of the credits fans were rewarded with an additional scene which saw Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne meeting with Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller in the wake of the midway city incident. The purpose of the meeting is an exchange. Wayne will protect Waller from the…

We’ve already heard from the cast of Suicide Squad in regards to the negative reviews that the film is receiving and now, we’ve heard what the director of the next film in the franchise, Patty Jenkins, has to say about the super villain team up film. After the poor response to the film, the Wonder Woman director took to her Twitter to reveal what she thought of the film. You can check out the tweet below: Uh… You guys. Super confused. Just went to the premiere of #SuicideSquad. Hadn’t seen it. It’s great! Not sort of great. GREAT! I mean… —…

Last month, Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick revealed her interest in playing Marvel comics hero, Squirrel Girl. Now, the actress has received an ringing endorsement from a director with ties to Marvel. Okay, those ties may not be as strong as they one were but they were there once, dammit! Anyway, the person I’m referring to is one-time Ant-Man director, Edgar Wright. Wright took to his Twitter to offer support to his Scott Pilgrim vs. The World actress in her pursuit of the role. You can check out the tweet below: In Scott Pilgrim: Superman, Cap America, Human Torch, Punisher, Cap…

Some actors seem to disappear into their roles, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln or Leonardo DiCaprio in pretty much any role he takes. Now, it sounds as though Clint Eastwood may have become one of his characters – although it may not be for the best. The veteran actor recently spoke with Esquire, where he seemed to be talking in a way very reminiscent of his Gran Torino character whilst praising Republican Nominee Donald Trump. He told the interviewer: “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up, That’s…

Yesterday, we reported on a new petition on change.org that was set up by fans of DC to shut down Rotten Tomatoes after the low reception that Suicide Squad has received (Currently Rotten at 32%). Well, today has revealed some shocking information about the petition. That’s right, since first reporting on the petition yesterday, the number of signatures has exploded with well over 17,000 delusional  passionate fans rallying around the cause. Whether this will be enough for Rotten Tomatoes to take notice remains to be seen, although going out on a limb, I’m going to say no. You can make your own mind…

Donald Trump has made himself a lot of enemies over the course of his presidential campaign but it looks like he may have made his most dangerous enemy yet, the infamous assassin, Deadshot… well, Will Smith anyway. Whilst promoting his latest film Suicide Squad, Smith spoke with News.com.au where he made his thoughts on the Billionaire Republican Nominee very well known. He told the interviewer: “My grandmother would have smacked my teeth out of my head if I had referred to a woman as a fat pig. And I cannot understand how people can clap for that. It’s absolutely…

Foggy Nelson himself, Elden Henson was present at the London Film & Comic Con this past weekend where between signing autographs and posing with fans, he also managed to drop some interesting tidbits as to where we can next expect to see the character. The actor confirmed that he would be joining his Daredevil co-star Charlie Cox in Netflix’s upcoming Team-Up series, The Defenders, which will unite Daredevil (Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) as they take on a far greater enemy. Henson isn’t the first supporting character to confirm his involvement…

With the current age of connected film franchises currently in full swing, many fans are seeing this as the end of creativity when it comes to superhero movies, with a lot of film’s now being made by ‘committee’. The idea of studio interference is often thrown around when a film has a less-than-stellar response, much like Fan4stic last year. The latest film to fall prey to this trap appears to Suicide Squad, which has been taking a bit of a pasting on the review front. Many of the reviews for the David Ayer directed flick have commented on how the…

Well it certainly seems like the DC/Marvel rivalry may have moved past Keyboard warriors slinging insults at one another’s fandom’s in some internet comment section, as it looks like Suicide Squad director David Ayer has had his say on the matter. Whilst attending the premiere of DC’s latest cinematic endeavor at the Beacon Theater in New York, the film’s director David Ayer took the opportunity to confirm his allegiance to the studio by yelling out ‘F*#k Marvel’. Of course this wasn’t just a random outburst of hate, the director was merely echoing the sentiments of an overzealous fan in the…
