As a fan of Stephen King’s novel IT, I will admit having been a bit disappointed that the film version of Pennywise had nowhere near the extent of his transformations featured in the book. In the novel he’d just as easily turn into Rodan, the giant pterodactyl featured in the Godzilla franchise, as he did Frankenstein’s monster before ripping people’s arms out of their sockets. And although the film neglected to have these transformations for obvious rights reasons, it turns out there was one particular Warner Bros. movie villain that almost got featured for a sequence. As you know, IT:…

While most audiences would consider Disney and Marvel completely unstoppable, it turns out even the Marvel Cinematic Universe is susceptible to rejection. In fact, Marvel studios head Kevin Feige recently brought up an interesting revelation while speaking during a Q&A at the New York Film Academy. It turns out, as he revealed, that the studio had recently pitched an exciting new project to a major actor that simply refused to do the film. Here’s what Kevin Feige specifically had to say: “It happened the other day, with an actor,” Feige began. “There’s an actor we want for something, they come…

The Marvel team has been hard at work with expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe for its fourth phase of superhero films and television shows. One of the first upcoming shows, a Disney Plus series titled The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, will help set the standards and expectations for fans as the new phase continues. As it turns out, however, the series will potentially do much more than that. A new set photo might have just revealed a massive secret – one of the locations in the upcoming Disney Plus series might have major connections to the X-Men franchise. When…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a broadening effect on the way modern day film goers perceive science fiction and the technology introduced therein. While most of the technologies we get to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are completely undoable (at least by today’s technological limits), there have been some interesting attempts to create technology that could very easily be compared to something Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark would have in an Iron Man movie. For example, one 29 year old engineer named Ben Workman has a variety of computer chip implants which include RFID and NFC chips in…

Marvel and Spider-Man fans had a short period of time when they were in fear that their beloved webslinger would be taken out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The deal between Disney/Marvel and Sony was temporarily broken, and things looked like Sony would be taking Spider-Man and actor Tom Holland for themselves and use him for shooting their own unrelated franchise of Spider-Man movies. But thankfully, after plenty of support from fans, as well as actor Tom Holland himself, Disney/Marvel and Sony were finally able to renegotiate a new deal that made everyone happy. As a result, Spider-Man would retain…

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its fourth phase is continuing to shape up nicely. One of the most anticipated films announced for the new lineup has been Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which has since been considered Marvel’s first full horror movie. Now Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is getting a little more specific, revealing that 1980s movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark have been a major influence regarding the style of horror they want the film to represent in Doctor Strange 2. Here’s what Kevin Feige had to say specifically: “I wouldn’t necessarily…

Many comic book fans are anticipating Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman, which is set to introduce yet another live action interpretation of the iconic superhero – this time played by Robert Pattinson – and his supervillain counterparts for the big screen. The Batman movie’s production team has been busy building a variety of sets for the new film at Cardington Sheds in the United Kingdom. As you can see below, one of the sets is a cathedral that’s being planned for use in a funeral scene with an astounding 500 extras. The image illustrates what kind of tone the…

Marvel fans have been excited to see the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe unfold, especially with so many franchise characters getting their very own television shows on Disney’s streaming service Disney Plus. While we still have awhile to wait before the shows hit the service, which will begin with the upcoming series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, we do finally have a new batch of behind the scenes images for the show. The images reveal cast members Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Emily VanCamp and Daniel Brühl, and most notably we get to see actor Anthony Mackie wearing a new…

It seems pretty obvious by now that Todd Phillips’ supervillain origin film Joker has been almost universally well received. The movie broke over $1 billion at the box office, and it was the first R rated film to do so. Clearly, then, everything came together as it was meant to in order for fans and critics to enjoy the film as much as they have. It turns out, however, that there was an alternate ending for Joker that could’ve given us not only a very different film but a very different series entirely going forward. It turns out that filmmaker…
