Kung Fury’s love letter to the 80’s martial arts and police action films was one of the most popular independent short films to hit the internet back in 2015. Laser raptors, time hacking, Hitler and all the Kung-Fu you could imagine, wrapped in an over the top bow of insanity from a very successful Kickstarter than almost made it to a feature film status. David F. Sandberg has set up for a sequel for some time and now it’s gotten a whole lot bigger with not just a feature film release but also set to star Michael Fassbender himself, according…

Season One of Marvel’s The Punisher ended on a surprisingly well-tied knot minus a few potential cliffhangers with the fate of Billy Russo and other character connections. Now that a second season has been announced (which will still be available on Netflix’s streaming service instead of Disney’s), some news has hit that is strongly hinting the influence of a classic and very heavy story arc. Then again, when isn’t it going to get heavy for someone like Frank Castle? Some character breakdowns have been surfaced by The Hashtag Show, those being two regular females. One is described as a Annie…

Any TV Spot on the Super Bowl, even with less than a minute of actual footage, is always going to garner some big talk and biting down the smallest mundane detail to try and make sense of what to expect. The millions that witnessed splendors this year were really in for some fandom luxuries, from the sneaky release of The Cloverfield Paradox to the over-analyzed teaser (and eventual trailer) of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Not surprisingly, the biggest feature reaction was rooted to the 10 year build-up of the Marvel Cinematic Unvierse’s biggest comic team up yet that is…

Update: Sony has revealed that John Krasinski is not playing Peter Parker for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. The original story remains. Marvel’s animated features been fairly scarce and at points even forgettable. It’s been ages since the Marvel animated movies line-up has expanded anywhere and with some odd anime titles and a bigger focus on the Disney televised cartoons, these films have grown to obscurity (perhaps aside from introducing us to Nolan North’s iconic voice to Deadpool for years to come).That’s what makes Marvel’s comeback to the animated film world something exciting with their feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe reputation in film has always been known for many attributes while in its success: Easter eggs galore with cameo appearances, post-credit scenes that just tie all the films together, and of course, the countless quips and jokes that cater to all ages for a good time experience.

Let’s face it:…

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe reached its highly-acclaimed movies and its global dominance in the comic book film market, there was a time when Marvel had to rely its last option on third parties like 20th Century Fox. Having a 17 year run independently running everyone’s favorite family of mutants (and some kind of “Fantastic” family), Fox’s line of X-Men films have grown to its own unique identity bringing some especially phenomenal films in recent years. With the recent news of Disney purchasing Fox, this marks a huge staple in the comic film industry, bringing the likes of two powerhouse worlds…

Toronto’s subway terminals have been known to have some interesting advertisement to theme around the multitude of stations there. Several weeks back, stealth ads for Stranger Things in the form of Hawkins Power and Light made some headlines around the terminals. Netflix’s returns with their latest stunt on marketing Marvel’s The Punisher series, and this is one that took a golden opportunity and seized it. Occupying the lesser-known stop Castle Frank, subway commuters may notice a barrage of posters featuring Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, transforming the station with wanted signs and pictures featuring the likeness of John Bernthal. The terminal is…

Fame goes a long way for actors. Having a bigger name to guarantee a big role can make serious bank. Ludicrous amounts are spent by Hollywood on those who are going to attract crowds. But is average the same as it goes for all of them? Recently, the casino honchos at Party Casino (and their research team) took the matters into their own hands to mathematically prove who is the highest roller. An unlikely source, but if there’s one place strong with getting statistics right, it’s definitely the poker table. Based off the Return of Investment formula (ROI = (Net…
