Though the first trailer for Avengers: Endgame only gave us a fleeting glimpse of Thanos as he wanders through the fields on Titan 2, the Mad Titan holds an undeniable presence in the promotion for the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel.
The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame left us on a mini-cliffhanger when it comes to the fate of Tony Stark, with the Phase 1 hero seen drifting through space in a ship that was running out of oxygen. Of course, unless directors Anthony and Joe Russo really intend to end Iron Man’s journey with the character suffocating to death in the middle of nowhere, it’s a safe bet that the guy will be getting out of this predicament somehow, and in a new promo for the Audi e-tron GT concept, Robert Downey Jr. practically admits as such.
Aquaman is still over a week away from reaching North American theaters, but Arthur Curry’s solo debut already holds a few commercial records worth bragging about. As well as earning the best opening in the China of any DC movie to date, James Wan’s flick has beaten the likes of Avengers: Infinity War and Deadpool 2 to sell more advance tickets on Atom Tickets than any other film.
The recent purge of Marvel's Netflix shows continued a couple of weeks ago with the cancellation of Daredevil, and between reports of the continuing popularity of the series, and rumors that Marvel was the one that chose to drop the axe, fans have been in speculation mode lately wondering what the studio could have in mind. And while it remains a popular theory that the various Defenders properties will be showing up again on Disney Plus or Hulu, it could be a long time before we get some confirmation.
While Matt Reeves’ The Batman has endured a troubled journey just to make it out of its early stages, things at least look to be moving forward for the project, with one recent report suggesting that the script might be finished by the end of the year. And while it remains to be seen who’ll be replacing Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader, some social media activity has got fans thinking that they might know who his next foe will be.
It’s now been one month since the news broke that Stan Lee had passed away, and with two movies featuring posthumous cameos from the late comic book creator coming out this week, fans are likely in for a bittersweet experience. We’ve already heard about the writer’s poignant appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but now it seems that Once Upon a Deadpool has provided a touching tribute of its own.
The upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sees multiple Spider-People occupying the same universe, but if this new report on Twitter is anything to go by, then we could be seeing the reverse situation in the near future, as one Spider-Man divides his time between two different superhero franchises.
The directorial career of James Wan can be roughly split into two genres. On the one hand, you’ve got the horror movies that the helmsman made his name on, from Saw to Insidious to The Conjuring. At the same time, Wan has also made two major blockbusters – Fast & Furious 7 and Aquaman – with the potential for further DC flicks in his future.
It’s been a pretty big day for The Mandalorian, with Disney finally releasing a cast list for the first ever live-action Star Wars TV series, confirming and reaffirming previous rumors and reports on the likes of Carl Weathers and Nick Nolte joining the team. And while the announcement didn’t come with any story-related news, THR’s Borys Kit has just offered some intriguing context for the Jon Favreau-penned plot.
From the look of things, the Zack Snyder era for the DCEU came to a close with last year’s commercially disappointing Justice League, and regardless of whether you think his contributions to the superhero saga were for better or worse, there’s no denying that the franchise would be looking very different today without the influence of this distinctive director. For one thing, we’d probably be looking at a different person as the lead in the upcoming Aquaman movie, and actor Jason Momoa continues to show his gratitude for the casting.
