The responses to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice were mixed, to say the least. Critics and fans alike were disappointed with both plot and tone, feeling that DC’s attempts at such a dark film were unsuited for the superhero flick. Before production had even begun, the internet was awash with complaints regarding the choice of casting Ben Affleck as the beloved Batman. However, this casting became the least of the film’s problems, as Affleck’s performance in the movie was largely praised. Unfortunately, the character just felt far removed from his comic counterpart, with the DCEU version having no issues…

With the wrath of Hela, goddess of death, set to rain down upon Asgard, it is unlikely that everyone will see a happy ending. From what we have already seen of the character in trailers for Thor: Ragnarok, it is clear that she is set to be one of Marvel’s greater villains. Capable of shattering Mjolnir with one hand and confident enough to stand vastly outnumbered against the Valkyrie and Einherjar, Hela is easily one of the most powerful villains Marvel have put to screen. As we await to see the extent of her vengeance, there is much speculation surrounding…

As Marvel’s Ant-Man & the Wasp continues filming, we have been giving a glimpse of the latter in action against antagonist Ghost. Amateur footage taken by a member of the public has been shared online showing us the two characters tussling in the streets. The footage shows Wasp (Evangeline Lily) pulled into the air after being attacked by Ghost. Lily is seen holding a mysterious box and it unclear who is trying to steal the box from whom. The footage also gives us a look at some props expected to be in the upcoming film, including a van similar to that…

Andy Park, artist for Marvel Studios, has released concept art for the character Miek, who will appear in the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok. The image was released on Instagram to promote the Thor: Ragnarok: Art of the Movie book and shows a look quite different to what fans remember from the comics. The character featured prominently in the Planet Hulk storyline of the comics, however it seems that his roll is not as significant in the upcoming film as rumours circulating the character suggest that he does not speak. While fans of the character will be excited to see him make…

Director Tim Miller’s departure from Deadpool 2 left many fans shocked, especially when we consider the triumph of the first film. The success of the sequel was essentially assured as long as it held any resemblance to the blockbuster phenomenon. But now its direction is being questioned since the surprising departure of its director. Many blamed creative differences between Miller and the studio (including lead actor, Ryan Reynolds) for pushing him away from the project and into the arms of the upcoming Terminator movie. However, Miller has revealed that other factors were in play when he made the decision to…

The Merc With a Mouth, Deadpool, (spoilers ahead for Marvel’s Secret Empire stroyline) is returning to his original villain status in time for Marvel’s Legacy event, following the events of Secret Empire. The end of that arc saw the anti-hero begging Maria Hill for the chance to help bring an evil Captain America down and redeem himself for the wrong he had to do as an undercover agent. Wade shocked many when he killed Phil Coulson under the orders of Hydra Cap, an action which was likely the reason why Hill not only refused his help, but went as far…

There are many rumors surrounding Superman’s return for the upcoming Justice League movie. Fans speculate just how he will be revived and are curious to know if he will be sporting the memorable black suit. For those unfamiliar with the comics, the iconic “Death of Superman” arc had the Man of Steel killed by the hands of Doomsday, just as in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Upon his resurrection, he sported a much different appearance, donning a black suit and longer hairstyle. Fans hoping that DC studios would honor this look will be disappointed to hear that this may…

For many there are few dinosaurs that match the towering ferocity of the tyrannosaurus rex. So how do you top this icon of prehistoric terror? By creating a whole new bigger, better breed and christening it “Indominus Rex”. Much like the premise of the film Jurassic World, the studio promised much with this new creature, but for many it failed to deliver. But concept art has been revealed showing what the Indominus could have been, and it could have been very different. Concept artist Ian Joyner posted his design for the beast on his ArtStation page, revealing a drastically different…

Photos from the set of Marvel’s upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp have emerged revealing a new suit for Paul Rudd’s title character. Currently, little is known about the plot of this sequel, but we can imagine that it will delve further into the story of the original Wasp (Janet Van Dyne, who is set to be played by Michelle Pfiffer) while paving way for the emergence of her daughter, Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lily) as the iconic hero. This assumption can be made thanks to our first glimpse of Lily in the Wasp suit in earlier set photos. The image,…

Jared Leto’s performance as the Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad received varying responses from critics and fans alike, with many disappointed at the portrayal of the character. But one who truly knows the Joker has come forward in defence of Leto and his acting. One tweet dissing Leto’s performance was intercepted by actor Mark Hamill, famous for playing protagonist Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy and for his long time work voicing the Joker in many of DC’s productions. Perhaps DC and Warner Brother’s Studios’ greatest error was putting such an emphasis on the character, using him…
