We’ve heard a lot about Thanos but haven’t really seen him all that much. We know that something big is coming for Infinity War, though, as it will be Marvel’s biggest movie (Part 1 and 2) to date – and quite possibly the biggest comic book movie ever. Ironhead Studios, who have created all sorts of things for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, have now given us a look at what Thanos would be like with more practical effects and less CGI: I’d say it’s a pretty different look for the character. What do you think of this look? Tell us…

A couple weeks back we saw Independence Day director Roland Emmerich bashing comic book films – even going as far to say that they ripped off his style of directing. Other big name filmmakers have taken shots at the genre as well, saying that it’s just a fad that will die out like the Western (Spielberg). Now, Die Hard director John McTiernan is bashing the genre: “These are films made by fascists,” and “Comic book heroes are for businesses.” He also went on to bash Captain America as a character: “Captain America…The cult of American hyper-masculinity is one of…

Deadpool was a movie that stayed in development Hell for a very, very long time. FOX was scared to make the film due to the R-rated tone that a character like Deadpool needs – and we all saw what happened in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But – we all got the movie that we wanted in February 2016, so there’s no need to complain any longer. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t other pitches for a Deadpool film. Filmmaker Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) pitched a version of the film and Kelton Cram, a professional conceptual artist pitched his idea for Deadpool’s…

With San Diego Comic Con just around the corner, more news is starting to make it’s way on to the internet. While I’m sure the bigger announcements will be saved for the day of, there is usually always something that leaks out beforehand. DC and Marvel are expected to have pretty big days at SDCC and now the synopsis for Wonder Woman has been revealed: “Wonder Woman” hits movie theaters around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana,…

It’s no secret that virtually everyone loved Deadpool. It was a massive success both critically and financially, so naturally, a sequel is coming (it’d be against the law not to make one – wouldn’t it?).

Marvel has been doing a lot of different things lately in the comics – whether it’s making Captain America a HYDRA agent or Donald Trump a villain, they’ve certainly been taking chances. Whether those chances go over well with fans is a different story. The company has now announced Invincible Iron Man which will feature Riri Williams, a 15 year old black woman, as the title character. Here’s what Brian Michael Bendis, the creator of the character had to say: “Thankfully because of my involvement in the creation of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones and some other characters, it’s getting the…

As I’m sure all of you remember, Batman wasn’t too happy in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But why the hell would he be? Well, it looks like the character will be getting a change in Justice League, according to Ben Affleck. Here’s what the actor had to say while speaking on the set of the upcoming film: “Yeah, he’s a little bit more sardonic, humor, a little more irony. He’s on a little more man on a mission this time. As opposed to like he was so full of anger because of what happened at the Black Zero…
