Thor 3 is just about to start filming. The movie shoots in Australia starting on July 4th, which is just one week from today. The movie releases in just over 16 months, so it’s definitely time for them to start shooting everything, and the November 2017 release is on the cusp of doing just that. The other Marvel Cinematic Universe films for 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, have already underwent filming. Guardians of the Galaxy has already finished its initial production, and is in post-production mode right now (though like most movies it may have…

After months of speculation, we finally know a lot more about the new Justice League movie. It releases in about a year and a half in November 2017, so it makes sense that certain plot elements are now getting out to the public. This particular morsel of information is who Willem Dafoe is playing in the movie. He’s going to be playing a character named Vulko, who is in fact one of the more important characters in the Aquaman lore. He’s an Atlantean and acts as Aquaman’s mentor, or as his closest advisor. He serves as an important politician…
The Justice League villain is from Apokolips– but it’t not Darkseid. Instead, the villain for Justice League, which is currently filming and will release in November 2017, is set to be Steppenwolf, one of Darkseid’s generals. He appeared in Jack Kirby’s comic New Gods just like all the other space heroes from Apokolips and New Genesis. He is not one of the most important villains of the comic by any means, but he will probably be a formidable threat to the Justice League. Now that we know this, we do have seeming confirmation that Justice League will somewhat-closely adapt the…
I’m not sure how many people play the plethora of Marvel mobile games that have come to various app stores over the past eight or nine years, but one of the newest ones, Marvel Avengers Academy, is an alternate universe of the Marvel superheroes where all our favorite characters go to school and train to be better heroes. And while most games of this nature are pretty throwaway, this one has suddenly revealed that its version of the hero Union Jack is, in fact, gay. Union Jack has been a staple in World War II-era Marvel comics since being introduced…
Dean Cain, who played Superman in the 90s TV show Lois & Clark and plays Supergirl’s father in her recent show, has spoken about the OTHER Superman. That one, of course, being Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. His words weren’t exactly the kindest in the world: “The movie obviously was so well made; the effects were incredible. It was too long, though, and I admit, I dozed off a tiny bit, but maybe that’s because I was tired after a lot of traveling.” Of course, after that, he quickly pivoted and praised the cast of the movie, as many people…
DC has been shaking up its creative team including producers, writers, and executives over the past month. There may be more to come, as well. Justice League and Wonder Woman are already in production and Suicide Squad has long since finished shoots and reshoots, so they aren’t going to be significantly affected by any of this. But how is this affecting other upcoming movies, such as Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Justice League 2? Well, James Wan, director of Aquaman, has given some insight into all the changes. At a press event for The Conjuring 2 (which he directed and…
Pacific Rim 2 is coming. You already know this, though. No, the big news here is that John Boyega, fresh off of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is going to be trying his hand at becoming a filmmaker, and seemingly using Pacific Rim as a star vehicle for himself. John Boyega has joined the cast of Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, where he will be a main character and play the son of Stacker Pentecost, Idris Elba’s character from the first movie. There’s no word how he will fit into the plot of the movie (or what the movie is actually…
Guillermo del Toro’s Justice League Dark movie project ended up floundering, especially as the DC Cinematic Universe began to grow as a shared universe. The NBC Constantine show also failed to make any marks and was cancelled after a season. However, that doesn’t mean the end of your hopes and dreams for the darker side of DC superheroes to come to life on the screen. Thanks to a leak from the British Board of Film Classification, we have learned that the next animated DC film will be Justice League Dark. It will be based on the New 52 Justice League Dark…
August 5 is fast approaching. There’s some new Suicide Squad photos that were found in a magazine and uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

Does this have any impact on your excitement level for Suicide Squad? Leave your comments about the movie in, uh, the comments section! Source:…
James Wan is about to have his latest directorial feature debut this Friday with The Conjuring 2. And naturally, his interactions with the press have given a lot of information on Aquaman, his next movie coming in 2018. Talking to Cinema Blend, he discussed the characters and villains of Aquaman, and who exactly would be in the movie, especially the villains part. He was very vague about it, but he seems very enthusiastic about the movie: “I gotta say, one thing I love about the Aquaman world is all the really different, really interesting characters. They are interesting characters, including…
