Sony's teaming up with Spider-Man Homecoming producer Amy Pascal for Silk, a movie about a Korean-American superheroine bitten by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker.
Justice League threw a huge wrench into Warner Bros.' ambitions of assembling a cinematic universe to rival the MCU. Over six months later we're still experiencing the fallout, with each week bringing word of behind the scenes reshuffles of what and what isn't going into production. Matt Reeves' The Batman has been hit by this uncertainty more than most projects, with its status not exactly helped by Ben Affleck's will he/won't he statements on donning the cowl for a solo movie.
Being an Avenger seems like the ambition of every self-respecting hero in the MCU. Who can blame them? Judging by what we've seen of the Avengers lifestyle over the various movies it looks like a pretty sweet deal: you get to hang out in cool apartments filled with Stark technology, get access to a fleet of Quinjets to zip around in, get drunk at parties with Thor and just generally soak up the adulation of being a member of the group that have saved the world multiple times (granted, they whiffed the ball a bit in Infinity War, but two out of three is still pretty good!). Anyhow, we courtesy of this Ant-Man and The Wasp TV spot we can now officially confirm that Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man now currently counts himself amongst their hallowed roster.
Ultron, Ego, Hela, the Grandmaster and all the rest should watch out, as season 2 of Luke Cage has confirmed the existence of a scarier villain than Thanos in the MCU: Donald Trump. The reveal comes in the final episode of the run, so if you're avoiding spoilers, then look away now.
Wonder Woman 1984 is currently filming in the historic neighbourhood of Georgetown, Washington D.C., and locals have been surprised and delighted by the production temporarily resurrecting iconic punk store Commander Salamander.
Avengers: Infinity War didn't just bring together the many heroes of the MCU, it also assembled what is arguably the most star-studded cast in cinema history. To break it down a little, you've got nine Oscar winners/nominees, eleven Golden Globe winners/nominees, seven of the Forbes magazine list of Top Paid Actors/Actresses of 2017 - and just more A-listers than you can shake a stick at. Due to the complexities of the shoot none of them were in the same place at the same time until the film's premiere, but it's always interesting to get a peek at what was going on on set.
When the Guardians of the Galaxy exploded into theatres back in 2014 they instantly became one of the best-loved characters in the MCU - not bad for obscure comic-book characters that only the most devoted fan had heard of. Now, following a pretty good sequel in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the team is in disarray after the events of Avengers: Infinity War. Gamora was sacrified by Thanos in his quest to gain the Soul Gem, while Star Lord, Groot, Mantis and Drax all collapsed into dust after Thanos carried out his promise to wipe out half the life in the universe. It was particularly tragic as the whole thing was arguably Star Lord's fault - if he'd have just kept his cool while they were removing his Infinity Gauntlet we might have avoided this whole mess...
There are few scarier sights in cinema than the expressionless, pale and corpse-like mask of Michael Myers. For 40 years this image has been one of the most iconic in horror - not bad considering that the original Halloween used a cheap William Shatner rubber mask that they dyed white.
Premium social network Vero has essentially turned into a Zack Snyder trivia machine, with the director available at all hours to answer questions on the production of Man of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League from anyone who cares to ask. The latest came when a user asked the filmmaker if he was "sold on Ezra Miller" from the get go as The Flash. His reply? "[I was] the day I saw him in Perks of Being a Wallflower."
After the senses-pummeling, prediction-confounding, record-smashing Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and The Wasp almost feels like an afterthought. Though its trailers are entertaining enough, a couple of car chases and a villain who can walk through walls seems a teeny bit tame after what we've just been through with Thanos. But perhaps some light-hearted MCU action with considerably smaller (pun intended) stakes is exactly the kind of palette cleanser we need right now?
