As we approach the release date for the highly-anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy sequel, more and more news has been slipping by, including this interesting tidbit that Miley Cyrus will be voicing a new character for the movie. The first Guardians movie was a critical and financial success, quickly allowing director James Gunn to begin work on a sequel which will be followed by one final film. This will result in a trilogy set to “tell one story”. And, as expected, this means we will be seeing the return of many of the first film’s cast members along with new…

It looks like we may have a leaked image of what the new Spider-Man costume could look like in Avengers: Infinity War. Although the image is of an unused design, so it should really be taken with a grain of salt. SuperBroMovies has claimed that the images were taken in Asbury University, where the unused Spider-Man costume has been put on display. Again, however, the images should be taken with a grain of salt. If the leaked pictures are legit, the finished design used in the film could still vary greatly from what’s seen here (as with everything for the…

John Romita Jr. has taken it upon himself to call out Marvel for replacing their iconic characters. It’s something that many agree with, and that includes Captain Marvel writer G. Willow Wilson. While Marvel’s biggest competitor, DC, happens to be adding new characters with their Dark Matter Initiative – Marvel is simply changing theirs. And it doesn’t make sense. After all, DC is still keeping Bruce Wayne as Batman and Clark Kent as Superman. Why would Marvel think getting rid of their fan-favorite, iconic heroes is a good idea? Newsarama happened to report that John Romita Jr. is quite “hot”…

Ever since the events of Rebirth, the DC Universe has been out of control. Wally West reveals that someone, potentially Dr. Manhattan, has taken 10 years from the world. This has resulted in plenty of Flashpoint era characters making a return. And that includes Eobard Thawne/Zoom/Reverse-Flash. Shockingly enough, however, the villain has already been disposed of. Reverse-Flash showed up in Batman #21, prepared to kill Batman while infiltrating the Batcave. His goal was to get revenge on Bruce Wayne’s father Thomas who killed Zoom in the Flashpoint timeline, as Thomas was also Batman in that universe. He succeeds in brutally…

As we approach the release date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and more interviews and test screens are performed, additional details are leaking every day. It’s becoming harder to go into the film spoiler-free, but in case you have to know what’s going to happen, several major cameos have been confirmed. It seems that by the end of the film, new characters played by Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh appear. Director James Gunn has confirmed that the characters are in fact Charlie-27 and Aleta Ogord, two ravager leaders. We’re still not given details about why they appear, but…

We were given the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi last Saturday, and there was a certain noticeable change with villain Kylo Ren. It appears that the scar he received during his lightsaber duel with Rey from the last film has moved. The scar originally went up his cheek, nose, and forehead which should’ve left him looking particularly deformed. Now the scar is less severe and merely runs across Kylo Ren’s eye. It seems director Rian Johnson has offered an explanation for this change via Twitter: https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/854760359097286656 Well, there you have it. The scar is simply…

Freeform has finally revealed the first trailer for one of their upcoming Marvel TV adaptations, Cloak and Dagger. In the video, we’re introduced to two lovers – Tandy (played by Olivia Holt) and Tyrone (played by Aubrey Joseph). We’re also given a glimpse at the events which lead them into becoming the heroes of both darkness and light, Cloak and Dagger. https://youtu.be/YZFc3FzK344 It’ll be interesting to see a series that focuses more on romance and young adult characters. The other Marvel shows tend to focus either on more lighthearted content, like with Agents of SHIELD, or much darker content as…

Who would’ve thought that beneath the soft red fur of your Tickle Me Elmo, lived a disturbing monster made of plastic and metal? Thanks to Mashable, we now have a look at Elmo’s true form – and it is not for the faint of heart. Someone had taken the horrifying task of showing Elmo’s inner workings, and it almost reminds me of something from a Child’s Play movie. Take a look at the end of Child’s Play or the beginning of Child’s Play 2, and look at the burned Chucky head without its skin. Look familiar? I think so. The…
