Captain America: Civil War wasn’t always going to be the third Captain America film – that was a result of WB announcing Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. No, the original Captain America 3 would have been based on the Madbomb storyline from Captain America #193-200 by Jack Kirby. This was revealed by Joe and Anthony Russo who also explained the film would not have had an appearance from Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man. There was a period where we did discuss a third act that revolved around the Madbomb from Cap mythology,” Anthony Russo told EW. “It didn’t have…

Joe and Anthony Russo have explained that the ending for Captain America: Civil War is actually a symbol of something much bigger than most fans expected: Steve Rogers is no longer Captain America. I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity,” said Joe. “It’s him admitting that certainly the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.” Although writer Christopher Markus explained Rogers’ leave might just be temporary. “There’s a big purple guy coming. He could be very helpful,” said the film’s co-writer. The “big purple guy” is…

Although the Ringu franchise is still going strong in Japan, its American counterpart, the Ring franchise, hasn’t been doing so well. It began with Gore Verbinski’s The Ring in 2002, which was followed by a sequel in 2005. The series has been quiet ever since. But now, over ten years later, we’re finally getting our third entry: Rings. You can read the plot and watch the trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uukQ_6szDm8 “A new chapter in the beloved RING horror franchise. A young woman becomes worried about her boyfriend when he explores a dark subculture surrounding a mysterious videotape said to kill the…

Although Black Widow has become an increasingly popular character in the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s still a lot to her backstory that has been missing. It seems that almost wasn’t the case, however, as a deleted scene from Captain America: Civil War would’ve given much more insight to the character. Though the scene was never filmed, MoviePilot acquired a description of it from the movie’s “Junior Novelization”. Here we see more of Natasha’s training that was first depicted in Avengers: Age of Ultron. You can read the novelization excerpt below: Natasha studied Cap’s expression of resolve. Finally, she said,…

A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the few classic horror franchises left that doesn’t have a new film in the works (which is probably a good thing). However, that hasn’t stopped fans from stating who they want to see in Freddy’s trademark sweater and fedora. Recently a fan even tweeted Kevin Bacon, voicing their desire to see Bacon in the role. Surprisingly, he responded: If a nightmare on elm street gets rebooted again can we please somehow get @kevinbacon as Freddy? I think he’d be fantastic. — Bettie Toxic (@bettietoxic) August 13, 2016 I like the way you…

Warner Bros. has just released a full body picture of everyone’s favorite monster clown, and it’s quite the image. Portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, this version of Pennywise the Clown has a much darker, almost medieval aesthetic to it: Unfortunately, with the way the character worked in the book, it goes against everything Pennywise stood for. He took the form of a clown so that he could lure children by looking funny and nice. Then he would take the form of their worst fears – things other than clowns. Nevertheless, the film’s costume designer Janie Bryant seems to have a reason…

Ever wanted to see a “secret recording” of Johnny Depp losing his mind over Amber Heard? Well, now you can! The actor begins screaming and beating against cabinets, all while asking Heard, “Have you done anything?” The actor even pours out a glass of wine and throws a camera to the ground. TMZ says the video was massively edited, including a sequence removed where Heard provokes Depp further, and it seems to have taken place months before their falling out. You can see the video for yourself below: What do you think of this? Tell us below!

There’s a new petition moving over at ThePetitionSite to get Nova, a character from Marvel Comics, featured in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War film. If you don’t know who Nova is, he’s a man named Richard Rider who happens to be part of an intergalactic police force called the “Nova Corps”. The Nova Corps was previously featured in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, where Glenn Close played their leader Irani Rael. The character of Nova plays a big part in the original Infinity War storyline from the comics, so it makes sense that fans would want to see the…

This has to be one of the most amusing letters revealed to the public since the infamous Sony leaks. A former Warner Bros. employee, with a name given only as “Gracie Law” (a character from John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China), seems to have given studio chairperson and CEO Kevin Tsujihara quite the message. In fact, this message is so bold, it even goes out to director Zack Snyder. You just don’t get it. And it’s not just DC movies, it’s your whole slate,” says Law. “Jupiter Ascending. Get Hard. Hot Pursuit. Max. Vacation. Pan. Point Break.…

It looks like The Flash and Supergirl will both be crossing over this season for a special two-part musical on The CW. This announcement came during The CW’s TCA presentation this Thursday, and revealed that the crossover will include an episode for each series. They also revealed that the musical numbers will consist of “pre-existing” songs, however, there will be one original song for each character. EP Greg Berlanti had this to say: So many times, it’s a musical episode off the set, on all of the shows we like to use all of the actors’ talents.” He also suggested…
