While we may be counting down the days until April 27 - the day Avengers: Infinity War arrives in cinemas - it's important we not forget that Marvel Studios have one more offering coming in 2018, that being Ant-Man and the Wasp. And though the latter probably won't smash box office records like the former, it's probably safe to say that it'll still sell more than a few tickets.
Whenever any highly anticipated blockbuster's release is around the corner, it's only expected that promotional posters be plastered around movie theaters and entertainment stores, or even on social media. In the case of one as huge as Avengers: Infinity War, it comes as no surprise that the onslaught be seemingly never-ending.
With all the posters, promotional art and various other forms of merchandise circulating in advance of Avengers: Infinity War, it sure can be difficult to keep track of everything. That said, all you can really do is gravitate toward whatever may catch your eye and savor the hype surrounding this monumental team-up flick.
In its early days, Legends of Tomorrow was intended to be an anthology show, with storylines isolated to each given season and different lineups being showcased in each subsequent year. Of course, plans soon changed as viewers became attached to certain characters, but as time has gone on, we have seen a fair amount of heroes come and go.
When Flashpoint was announced last summer at San Diego Comic Con, geeks everywhere were understandably sent into a frenzy, thinking the comic book story arc of the same name would be adapted for film. And, more recently, there was cause for celebration when John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were tapped to direct.
If anything, the season finale of Legends of Tomorrow will be a star-studded affair, to say the least. I mean, not only will we bear witness to the returns of both Jonah Hex and Jefferson Jackson, but none other than John Constantine will be putting in an appearance as well!
By now, there shouldn't be a horror fan reading this who isn't familiar with the work of Leigh Whannell. Having previously penned films such as Saw, Insidious and Dead Silence, the screenwriter/actor has proven himself to be quite the asset for studios looking for bold new intellectual properties.
Now that seemingly anybody with a pulse has seen Black Panther, we can look ahead toward Marvel Studios' other two cinematic offerings to come in 2018, those being Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp. Of course, there'll be some overlap with them, too, for the obvious characters will be pulling double duty.
Now that Dark Nights: Metal is in the books, I think I can say with confidence that series scribe Scott Snyder is capable of penning a crossover story that's as high concept and flat-out bonkers as anything written by Grant Morrison or Kurt Busiek. And while said finale contained a variety of occurrences that'll no doubt reshape the DC Universe - and multiverse - as we know them, there was one little incident that we couldn't help but discuss.
As awesome as the Arrowverse may be, it's important we not forget that none of it would've been possible without Smallville. It was a different beast, sure, but the series chronicling Clark Kent's formative years as he embarked on his journey to becoming Superman set the stage for modern DC shows. After all, the reason Arrow happened in the first place was because Oliver Queen had been a breakout character on Smallville.
