Celebrities often appear at ComicCon, usually on scheduled panels promoting their upcoming films, or prearranged meet-and-greets with fans. However, every now and then, they manage to disguise themselves, so they can sneak in undetected and enjoy the convention as part of the crowd. Superman himself, Henry Cavill, managed to do just that, hiding his chiseled mug behind a V for Vendetta-style Guy Fawkes mask. He met and took pictures with several unsuspecting fans, before deciding to troll his fellow DCU star, Will Smith. Suicide Squad’s Deadshot was sitting on a meet-and-greet panel for the film when a masked fan came…

When we found out that Michael Keaton was going to be in Spider-Man: Homecoming, we assumed he would Vulture, and probably be the film’s sole villain. However, toy maker Diamond Select reportedly revealed at their San Diego Comic-Con panel that they are making a line of toys based on the film, and that line will also include the characters Shocker and Tinkerer. This toy panel just seemingly (accidentally?) confirmed that Vulture, Tinkerer, *and* Shocker are all in SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. #SDCC2016 — Griffin Newman 2016 (@GriffLightning) July 23, 2016 The two characters are on pretty different ends of the villain spectrum.…

We’ve known for a bit now that Kurt Russell was going to play the father of Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, in the second installment of Guardians of the Galaxy. When Peter’s mother, on her deathbed, told her young son that his father was “an angel……..composed of pure light,” we were all left scratching our heads, trying to figure out who she could be referring to. And what sort of “angel” would have anything to do with Yondu and his band of Ravagers? We now know that his character is none other than Ego the Living Planet, one of the…

By now, most of us know that in today’s new release Star Trek Beyond, Hikaru Sulu is revealed to be gay. There are many strong opinions on both sides of the issue, some rational; some, not so much. The logical perceptions on either side are: “Yay! We’re finally including an LGBT character in a normal, non-political-soapbox kind of way.” Or there’s this one:  “No! This isn’t canon! Sulu has always been assumed to be straight. They should have created a new character to represent the LGBT community.” The moment is presented in such a subtle way that I doubt many…

Heading into the theater, I knew two things: one, I was going to cry at some point over Anton Yelchin; and two, I was going to love this movie. Both predictions came true. The tears had nothing to do with his character’s fate in the film. Rather, it was seeing the enthusiasm, the youthful exuberance, the absolute adorability he brought to the role of Pavel Chekov. It’s impossible not to enjoy every second he’s on the screen, simply because you can tell that he enjoyed being there. We’ve said it a million times, and yet not nearly enough: Anton, you…

With the tragic death of Anton Yelchin on June 19, at the age of just 27, a young life came to an end far too soon, as well as an extremely promising career. Possibly the role he’ll be most remembered for is that of Starfleet prodigy, Ensign Pavel Chekov. This weekend’s Star Trek Beyond will be his third, and sadly final, time playing the character. But with the announcement this week that there will be a fourth film in the current Star Trek franchise, we can’t help wondering what the cinematic future of young Ensign Chekov might be. Thankfully, one…

It looks like the DC shows on the CW Network are getting a few new permanent residents. BleedingCool.com is reporting that the announcements will be made at this week’s San Diego Comic Con regarding the additions to Legends of Tomorrow. John Wesley Shipp, Wentworth Miller, and John Barrowman will become series regulars. Also, Constantine fans will love this news: “Matt Ryan could get a similar deal as the network tests the streaming audiences of Constantine, as well as his appearances on the network this upcoming season. The Vampire Diaries is ending after this season, and the network wants to keep…

Sometimes, you can tell from the first casting rumors that a movie is going to be great. By the time the first trailer arrives, you’re so hyped that you can’t imagine waiting another three months to see the finished product. Luckily, the rest of the world is right there with you, so you have plenty of people to wallow in the misery of anticipation with. You talk casting with your coworkers, dissect the trailer in online forums, and follow the director on Twitter, just hoping for a tiny morsel of a spoiler. On opening night, you’re happy to stand in…

It seems like we’ve been getting a lot of Spider-Man news lately, but at the same time, we’ve been able to glean precious few details from the leaking photos and set details. But now, we have a morsel of information straight from the horse’s mouth. Sony chairman Tom Rothman was interviewed by IGN on the Ghostbusters red carpet. Rothman explained the meaning behind the title Spider-Man: Homecoming. “Here’s the thing I can tell you. We’re really, really fortunate on this, because Marvel and Kevin Feige have really embraced the character, and no one knows him as well as Marvel. It…

The epic DC superhero team up film, Justice League, doesn’t hit theaters until November 2017, meaning we won’t see a trailer until at least this winter, but most likely early next year. However, creative YouTube user Stu Whitten has created an amazing fan version of a JL trailer. Using footage from Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, the upcoming Wonder Woman, and even the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us, he includes shots of each iconic hero, in a great representation of what we’re likely to see in the film. There’s even a voiceover at the end from supervillain Darkseid.…
