First it was the critical response that poked fun at Batman v Superman. Then a number of Deadpool and Marvel comics. Now, the animated Justice League Action Series has put in their shots. This isn’t your usual ‘Martha’ jab as most seem to attack, but more of a critique of the holes in Batman’s plan. Where everyone was focussed on the muddled ideologies of the two superheroes or that infamous Martha scene, Justice League Action have highlighted something that many have overlooked. The scene in question comes from the fifth episode of the JLA web series called “It’s a Trap!”…

Last year’s Suicide Squad was a lot if people’s anticipated movie. However, despite winning an Oscar for Best Make-up it was released to less than stellar reviews. The fallout from this was Jared Leto openly complaining about the lack of Joker in the film despite him saying they had filmed a lot of material. Now, Roman Vasyanov has released some images on his Instagram from behind the scenes showing the direction Suicide Squad almost went in. The first image shows Leto’s Joker from one of the many deleted scenes in which sees him looking worse for ware, after being rejected…

D23 has just closed and with it – the first footage from Avengers: Infinity War has been released. Infinity War is the jewel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe crown. Since Iron Man in 2008, everything has been building towards this. This first footage from Infinity War has been shown at the D23 conference and it has showcased a number of Marvel heroes. Marvel Entertainment tweeted: https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/886306335901368320 As I was unable to attend the conference, I was not one of those who was brought to my feet, and unfortunately the footage hasn’t made its way online yet. With the footage came…

It seems the Funko Pop Figures are joining a long line of movie merchandise that are revealing spoilers. In the past we’ve had Lego show potential battles with foes from The Mandarin in Iron Man 3, Zod in Man of Steel and Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now, it seems there may be a plot point, and potentially a big plot point – revealed with the latest Funko Pop Figures for Thor: Ragnarok. The full range of Funkos for Thor: Ragnarok have been revealed and among them is the Demon Surtur, revealing what he may look like in the upcoming…

As with all Comic Book Movies accompanying them are an array of child friendly, movie referencing toys. With San Diego Comic Con coming up, there has been an abundance of releases including Lego, Funko Pops, and now a new toy has been released that shows a version of the main Justice League villain Steppenwolf. Up until now, we have had Lego Steppenwolf showing him to be a large armored warrior akin to the recent Wonder Woman villain Ares. We also caught a glimpse of him in the extended scene ‘Communion’ in Batman v Superman. We see Lex Luthor kneeling in…

While speaking with The Toronto Sun on promotion for Spider-Man: Homecoming, Kevin Feige had quite a bit to say. He shot down the suggestion that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man would appear in Sony’s Venom movie by saying. “No, what [Sony] is doing is completely separate.” But he also went into further detail about the life-span of the Marvel Cinimatic Universe. He has outlined that Holland has a five movie contract, which includes Captain America Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers Infinity War. This leaves a Homecoming sequel and the yet untitled Avengers 4. Although, the title may have already been revealed…

Out of the six main X-Men films, four have had Jean Grey play an integral part of the story. Played by Famke Janssen in five of these films and an additional Wolverine centered outing, it’s clear she is probably best known in that role. X-Men told us that Jean Grey, along with Storm and Cyclops, were among the first students in Xavier’s school. In the most recent X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, we have Sophie Turner in the role. On a panel at Denver Comic Con Janssen went into detail about her time as Jean Grey. “That was so amazing. I never knew…

In 2008, Robert Downey Jr. took on a role that would change not only his life, but that of the film industry as a whole. In what could have potentially been a forgetful, or even laughable attempt at bringing a B-List Comic book character to the big screen,  turned out to be the foundations for a multiple movie universe. With the first Iron Man film being a critical and financial success, and with the subtly placed after credit scene, we were excited to see what would come next. He has been the cog that has kept the Marvel machine running,…

Samuel L. Jackson’s after credit scene cameo in Iron Man as Nick Fury blew open the potential world building for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the course of a short scene, Marvel fans and casual cinema goers alike were introduced to the Avengers Initiative. Now, after fifteen released movies (Spider-Man: Homecoming being the sixteenth this week), Several One-Shot films and multiple Network and Netflix television shows, we may have word that Nick Fury will be making a return after Infinity War. Having appeared in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Captain America: The…

The next X-Men movie will be X-Men: Dark Phoenix and up until now we have had the majority of actors reprising their roles. Up to now we have First Class Alum James McAvoy, Michael fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence. They’re reuniting with Apocalypse Class Sophie Turner, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Now it would appear Evan Peters will be reprising his Quicksilver role from X-Men Apocalypse and Days of Future Past. Being one of the best aspects of both Apocalypse and Days of Future Past it would seem Fox are interested in keeping the same elements that worked in…
