For years, fans of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy have been chomping at the bit to see Adam Warlock grace the big screen. After an Easter egg in the first film showing what is believed to be Adam’s famous cocoon, fans speculated his inclusion in future Guardians films. It’s finally been revealed that Warlock was closer than they thought and they shouldn’t rule out seeing him one day in the future.

When we first met T’Challa in Marvel’s Civil War, he protected his country as the Black Panther, a role passed on from generation to generation in Wakandan culture.

Marvel Studios recently held an event detailing the forthcoming film, showing off a behind-the-scenes featurette as well as unfinished footage.…

With the much anticipated premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s teaser, fans have been in a frenzy searching for clues and details worth pulling from the trailer. Surprisingly, what many noticed wasn’t references to the galaxy far, far away that they missed but parallels with an unexpected trailer: DC’s Man of Steel. At first the similarities seem obvious when looking at the story material. Both Rey and Superman (in Man of Steel) follow a similar story arc. Orphans guided with their new found powers by a wise mentor. Simple enough. But the similarities continue  cinematically and in both trailers…

As filming for Marvel’s Infinity War is now in full swing, we’ve only seen small glimpses into the shoot.

Corvius wields a long pike, similar to the staff used by the actor in the footage. Given Thanos’…

Director Marc Webb has opened up with his feelings, looking back on his Spider-Man films. Even though fan reaction to “The Amazing Spider-Man” and its sequel has been mixed at best and poor at worst, Webb stands by his take on the Wall-Crawler. “It’s hard for me to think about it, in terms of regrets. There are so many things that I’m proud of. There was an ambition with the second movie, in particular. The idea that it’s a superhero that can’t save everybody is something that I’m really proud of. I’m really proud of the ambition of that because…

Writer/director James Gunn has kept tight-lipped on the many secrets he’s packed into Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. First on Kurt Russell’s role as Peter Quill’s estranged father “Ego the Living Planet”, more recently with Sylvester Stallone’s mystery part in the film, saying only that Stallone has a “very, very key, important role.” After more than a year of speculation, Stallone’s role may have been outed by an unconfirmed press release and backed up by the junior novelization of the movie.
