Vin Diesel has played Dom Toretto for so long, that it’s pretty impossible to imagine anyone else playing the Fast and the Furious character. Though, according to a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Producer Neil H. Mortiz revealed that another unlikely actor almost played the role: “I had been working with Paul Walker on another movie, Skulls, and I gave him the script [for The Fast and the Furious]. Rob Cohen, who I had made The Rat Pack with, we gave him the script. The two of them liked the idea. And then we had to look for Dom Toretto. The…

According to a new exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Brolin will play Cable in Deadpool 2. Per the report: “Josh Brolin has nabbed the hotly contested role of Cable opposite Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 2, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The production has been on the warpath to find the right actor for the role for months, with Michael Shannon almost nabbing the role and Stranger Things star David Harbour on the shortlist. (There were even rumors of conversations with Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt.) In the end, Brolin emerged as a surprise contender, notching his second Marvel…

Earlier in the week, we reported on the following Reddit post about Black Adam being the main villain in Man of Steel 2 and the Shazam film being cancelled. Per the Reddit post: “No. I will not tell you how I know any of this in order to not jeopardize my position. Firstly, Black Adam will be the main villain in Man of Steel 2. The idea was tossed around of possibly making an appearance in the sequel, even if it was only brief. This later evolved into Adam becoming the villain due to the fact WB did not feel…

When a few pictures were released for Thor: Ragnarok a couple months back, one thing was noticeably missing. Karl Urban as Skurge The Executioner. All we had seen before the trailer was released today was Karl Urban posting this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KarlUrban/status/757539282152062976 Well, now, thanks to the new Thor: Ragnarok trailer, we’re given a very BRIEF glimpse at the actor as the Marvel character that I managed to take a screenshot of: Compared to the comic look, for the most part, it seems pretty accurate. Here’s hoping that the actor’s performance in the film can get people talking about something else…

After months of waiting, the first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok is here – and it looks great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F1epIzP7KI All of the casting appears to be on point and we’re even treated to our first  good look at Karl Urban as The Executioner – as well as the first look at Planet Hulk. Overall, it looks like a lot of fun. James Gunn even commented on the trailer last month: https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/845821921887322112 The film will feature the return of Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder himself, with Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Idris Elba as Heimdall and…

It was reported back in February that Mel Gibson was the favorite to direct the upcoming sequel to Suicide Squad. According to a recent 4chan leak, however, that isn’t the case. Per the leak: “Mel Gibson is no longer the front runner to direct the Suicide Squad sequel. Jaume Collet-Serra and Ruben Fleischer are now the top candidates. The script is currently being written with a story pitch given by Ayer. Killer Frost will be the new female lead to replace Harley Quinn.” Obviously just a rumor but we haven’t really heard much about it since the initial report. Many…

Earlier this week, some upcoming plans were leaked for the future of The DCEU (which seems to be changing all the time) but one thing that was interestingly noted, is that the upcoming Batman film will have Deathstroke – but not as the main villain. Per the latest leak (linked below): “The Batman film will still have Deathstroke but not as a main villain. Matt Reeves wants to do a larger scale Batman film that will include the Bat family as well as most of Batman’s rogues.” This is not only interesting because it’s been reported that Deathstroke will be the…

With non-stop rumors about The Batman, whether it’s that it’s falling apart or that Ben Affleck is leaving the Batman role entirely, it’s been non-stop. Now, a new rumor from 4Chan says that there will be four Batman related films in 2019. Per the leaks: “The plan for 2019 is to release four Batman related films.

For those of you who were young during the late 90’s/early 2000’s, you probably remember a lot of movies being better than what they actually were. That’s not to say that there weren’t a lot of good movies that were released during that time period – but it happens with all of us. One of the movies I remember being “interesting” was Deep Blue Sea. While I didn’t really remember much of it until I re-watched it when it was on HBO a few months back, one scene that stuck with me was this one with Samuel L. Jackson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz1J9PUcMQ0…
