Shane Black has some extra weight to push against The Predator. Black’s upcoming film of our favorite hunter-alien has now shifted from its original February 2018 release to a more confirmed late summer release of August 3rd. Although it’s a more specific release than a general February, it still postpones itself almost a half year later to the dismay of fans. Despite a delayed release now, it at least gives us something else to watch alongside the other crazy summer blockbusters there, which gives it a more competitive edge with its confidence. Perhaps the quality is that good. Even Black…

Taking responsibility of not only bringing an unconventional Marvel hero to the mainstream film-goers, but MCU’s first solo female-lead is a big task to pull right for the presentation of Captain Marvel. That being said, Marvel has just handpicked the person, or rather, persons with the right visionary for the job. Marvel Studios has just confirmed the directing duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck to be in the chairs of their Captain Marvel film, starring Brie Larson. The duo are better known for directing Mississippi Grind, It’s Kind of a Funny Story and Sugar. Variety has reported the following:…

With the countdown for the third Thor film and the further inclusion of the longly-missed Hulk coming closer, some new details have surfaced for those interested in the not-so-jolly-green-giant’s separate storylines. A certain adversary race to the Asgardians will be represented by the likes of Korg the Kronan of the Planet Hulk storyline, played by Thor: Ragnarok director himself Taika Waititi. Motion capture and voice work will bring the rock monster to life and have Thor introduced to the world of Sakaar, cites Waititi himself. During the same Open House where Feige expressed his thoughts on Josh Brolin’s casting as…

Actor Josh Brolin is certainly having a field day for two iconic Marvel characters to play, one as the Mad Titan Thanos being the big baddie for MCU’s Infinity War (as well as other cameo appearances prior) and now cast as the time-travelling mutant Cable in the upcoming sequel to critically acclaimed box-office smash Deadpool. When it does come to Marvel properties between the two, Fox and MCU are really trying to outdo each other with their own sealed properties. MCU managed to snag an opportunity with Sony taking Spider-man back and other properties from Lionsgate and Columbia with Punisher…

Whether you are a fan of the live-action films or not, it’s undeniable that the animated films of the DC Comics have made a killing in comparison to Marvel (minus a few rough controversies with The Killing Joke). Their next project, however, is quite the eyebrow raiser, and will feature a familiar tale of one of the most beloved stories of comic book history. A survey conducted by the Warner Bros. “A-List Community” program, which takes opinions of their subscribers for upcoming media-based projects, unveiled that an adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen was in the works in the form of…

While many can recognize how much of a skilled fighter Snake Eyes was in G.I. Joe’s live-action films or seeing what happens to Toad when struck by lighting (hint: …the same thing that happens to everything else) in X-Men, no role comes close to the fan impact as one of the (better) parts of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace as the entrance made killing Liam Neeson himself with Sith Darth Maul. Double lightsabers, fighting off Qui Gon and Obi Wan at the same time, and the creepy character design, Maul got quite the fan appeal despite his short-lived…

Mick Foley. Cactus Jack. Dude Love. Mankind. With many aliases under his belt, we know him as one of the best parts of not only the WWE, but overall wrestling period. From the brutal abuse he took against Undertaker in the Hell in a Cell match to FMW’s explosive barbwire matches, Foley has had his share of the pain train and just keeps going. Just looking at the matches and tell yourself wrestling is “only fake”. It’s a miracle he lasted in the world of WWE for this long with all the breaks and jabs and injuries. Alas, it was right…

Comic books aren’t just for kids, and neither should movies have to be too. Back in the day, the idea of an adult comic book film to hit the mainstream silver screen was a big risk, either in handling the quality well or the box office numbers restricting certain people. That’s really lead a path for hit or miss numbers for any company that has tried to do it. While films like Watchmen or Dredd has gotten great cult following after their release, they didn’t warrant the sales needed for their companies. Even films like The Crow or the Blade…

The DCEU has been building their bridges with their expanded universe, and slowly but surely are trying to reach the same stage as Marvel has with letting their big baddie out of the cage. While reports state that the main villain of the upcoming Justice League film will be Steppenwolf (the same fellow from the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice’s Extended Cut seen with Lex Luthor and his “communion”), we all know that DC is building up to his boss, the Tyrant of Apokolips Darkseid. “How soon?” is the question that remains. Darkseid made his presence known in the…

You can call up any number of reincarnations of Batman, interpretations of Spider-man, or any version of comic book heroes we have followed along over the cinematic history of cinema, but if there was one way both moviegoers and the studios can agree on, there is only ONE Wolverine. Hugh Jackman made his titular debut in 2000’s X-Men, the first of many films of the series to make their way as one of the first strongly independent series of films outside the clutches of Marvel’s [later] Cinematic Universe. While the qualities of the films have been mountains of differences to…
