It’s strange to think that after the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the most successful shared universe on screen at the moment is likely the one that has spun out of 2013’s The Conjuring. This year alone we have a spin-off and a spin-off of a spin-off in the form on Annabelle Comes Home and The Curse of La Llorona respectively. The most recent entry, The Nun hit theaters last year and ended up as the highest grossing film in the franchise with a $365 Million worldwide haul, so it should come as no surprise that a sequel in The Nun 2…

There’s a new word on street and that word is Shazam! Many fans were skeptical when Warner Brothers announced that one of their upcoming projects would be a film based on the relatively obscure character Captain Marvel Shazam! but after seeing the film last week, it safe to say they are on for a treat… For those of you who are unaware, Shazam is the super-powered alter ego of Billy Batson, a teenager who finds himself chosen by The Wizard to become his champion granting him all the powers of (S)olomon, (H)ercules, (A)tlas, (Z)eus, (A)chilles and (M)ercury. As the Wizard’s…

For decades now people have been discussing just how feasible their favorite Comic Book characters could be in the real world. Whether it’s a discussion on whether a person could move items with there mind, how much it would cost to actually be Batman or whether being bitten by a radioactive Spider-Man could in fact let you become Tobey Maguire. Now, Science has come to the aid of yet another Superhero, namely Ant-Man and the recent Avengers: Endgame theory on whether he could defeat Thanos by entering his big purple ass. For those unaware of the theory (I like to think…

Hot off the heels of the news that David Harbour had joined the cast, we are now getting word that Oscar Nominated actress Rachel Weisz is also in talks to join the upcoming Black Widow solo film. This time round the news comes courtesy of Variety, although they do mention that these are only preliminary talks and nothing has been confirmed as of yet. Should Weisz board the the franchise however, she would join Scarlett Johansson as the titular heroine as well as Fighting With My Family’s Florence Pugh and the aforementioned David Harbour. David Harbour and Rachel Weisz will…

David Harbour is definitely doing the rounds on the nerd scene these days. Best known for playing Sheriff Hopper in Stranger Things on Netflix, the actor will next be seen as the cigar chomping Hellboy in Neil Marshall’s upcoming reboot. However, it looks as though he isn’t going to let that be his last foray into the world of comic book movies as the actor has reportedly signed onto Marvel’s upcoming Black Widow solo film. The news broke via The Hollywood Reporter who revealed that Harbour was joining the MCU in an exclusive earlier today. While the details of his…

A new trend involving Avengers: Endgame swept the internet at the back end of last week – no it wasn’t an irritating new dance, nor was it eating some kind of cleaning fluid. No, this latest trend featured a hypothetical scene between Paul Rudd’s diminutive hero Ant-Man and Josh Brolin’s Mad Titan, Thanos, and it’s safe to say it’s pretty damn disgusting. Yes, the latest theory doing the rounds on the internet is that Scott Lang will defeat the big purple beast by shrinking down, climbing into his big purple ass and then enlarging whilst he’s still inside. That’s something…

If you were to ask 100 Average Joe’s on the street what Wolverine’s powers are, you would likely find that the majority of people would probably say that it is his metal claws. But those of us of the more nerdy persuasion know that Logan’s mutant power is actually his ability to heal himself almost immediately. And whilst this may still sound like something that is confined to comics and movies, it may actually be closer to reality than you may think. A new report out of Harvard University has revealed that scientists at the school have uncovered the DNA…

Yesterday morning, Marvel released a collection of character posters for the highly anticipated Avengers: Endgame featuring the characters we can expect to see in the film as well as some of whom we lost as part of the decimation we saw in the finale of Avengers: Infinity War. Eagle Eyed fans will have noticed that the characters who were turned to dust last year were featured on the black and white posters, whilst those that lived to fight another day are in full colour. Now I can imagine that this amount of subtlety may have gone over a few of…

Last Friday, the nerd world let out a collective sigh of relief after the news broke that James Gunn had been reinstated as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after his dismissal last year over some inappropriate tweets. Despite this however, it still seems as though the highly anticipated threequel may still be some ways off if a recent report on the film’s start date is anything to go by. The rumored start of production comes courtesy of a new listing from Production Weekly, which states that we can expect filming to commence in February 2021. The report…

This week, it was confirmed that the merger between Disney and 20th Century Fox was made official, whilst this meant that the former would be taking control of all of the latter’s properties, it was the news that the X-Men and Fantastic Four were coming to the MCU that really got people excited. However with Marvel’s potential slate already planned out for the next few years, it may actually be a while before they rub elbows with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. A recent article from The Hollywood Reporter has speculated that the earliest we see Marvel’s First Family or Xavier’s Students…
