This year sees the first of three expected Spin-Off films set in the Star Wars universe in the form of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Many fans were excited by this further exploration into the franchise’s mythos, but it sounds as though they may be in for disappointment if latest reports are anything to go by. According to the website, Page Six, the film has been ‘testing poorly’, understandably leading to panic amongst the executives at Disney. The site explains that they are disappointed with the first cut that Godzilla director Gareth Edwards has brought them and the film…

In past couple of years, Marvel has firmly placed its foot in the door into the world of television. They currently have a show airing on ABC with another expected to air at the end of this year. Then of course they have their Netflix shows, with Daredevil and Jessica Jones already available for your viewing pleasure, Luke Cage joining them later this year and Iron Fist, The Defenders and The Punisher on the horizon. But despite all these opportunities, they are yet to tap into the rich vein of Marvel characters just waiting to be brought to life, many…

Since taking on the role of Captain America, Chris Evans has appeared on our screen every year since 2011 as the Star-Spangled man, if you include a cameo in 2013’s Thor: The Dark World of course. But with his next appearance not scheduled until 2018, in Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 will next year be our first Cap-Less year? Not if Chris Evans has anything to say about it. Speaking to MTV news, the Fantastic Four actor offered up two possible places his character could appear next year, telling the interviewer ‘Guardians would be fun, wouldn’t it? but it’s very…

I’m sure by now you have all heard about the controversial twist Marvel has introduced to the Captain America mythos. For those that haven’t heard, the first issue of the new series Captain America: Steve Rogers has revealed that since the beginning, Cap has actually been an agent of Hydra, the terrorist organisation he has battling for much of his 75 Year history.

But it’s his most recent change which has caused the biggest stir amongst fans. The recent Captain America: Steve Rogers #1 has introduced the controversial twist that Steve Rogers, the living embodiment of the American way, is in fact a sleeper agent for the terrorist organisation Hydra and has been all along.

Over the years, there have been multiple attempts at bringing Video Game properties to the big screen, often with more failures than successes. With two new franchises looking to make the jump in next weeks Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed this December, it seemed as though this would be the year everything changes. It looks as though this may not be the case if the first wave of Warcraft reviews are any indication, at least we have Assassin’s Creed to fall back on. While it’s a bit too soon to be jumping to any major conclusions, as well as the fact that…

X-Men: Apocalypse is yet to be released in the U.S. but it’s already out and making some serious money in the rest of the world. Unfortunately in order to be viewed as a hit, it needs both Commerical and Critical success and whilst it’s achieving the former it’s the latter which is the problem. According to review aggregate site, RottenTomatoes, X-Men: Apocalypse is currently the franchises second lowest scoring entry with a score of 52%. This places it ahead of 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and its 38% approval rate but below X-Men: The Last Stand’s 58%. Given the amount of…

But a recent interview has revealed that there is one thing that would get back behind the camera, read on to find out what it is. In a recent interview with The Wrap, Whedon was asked whether helming a female-centric Avengers film would be enough to tempt the Serenity director back to the MCU. His response? A very resounding Yes. He revealed ‘Yeah, of course [I’d be into that],’ before adding ‘Although I tend more…
