After netting a massive $519 million at the box office, it came as no surprise when Marvel decided to greenlight an Ant-Man sequel. Specifics on Ant-Man And The Wasp remain under wraps right now though, as the script is currently being bashed out by returning scribe Adam McKay. The title itself offers up a pretty big hint, however. The Wasp's inclusion is a major distinction between this movie and its predecessor, and that's exactly what director Peyton Reed intended.
Sony's Spider-Man movie universe received a boost yesterday when chairman Tom Rothman confirmed that the studio still plans to push forward with some of those long-rumored webslinger spinoffs. Sinister Six and Venom were two projects in development years ago that may be back on the table, and according to a new rumor, there's another fan favorite character earmarked for a solo outing: Silver Sable.
The day Sony and Marvel decided to bury the hatchet, combine their efforts and work toward crafting a collaborative Spider-Man movie was a turning point. It's not unheard of for studios to join forces on projects, but for a universal brand like the webslinger, you might expect Sony to happily keep him at home.
If you're up to date on the latest comic book adaptations, by now you'll be acquainted with Jared Leto's portrayal of The Joker in Suicide Squad. The movie's not out for another two months but the rumors and talk of his 'method-acting' tactics continue to flood the web, adding to the carefully-constructed image of a villain who knows no fear.
The casting announcement situation on Spider-Man: Homecoming is spiralling out of control, with multiple new additions to the star-studded ensemble joining every few hours. While most of the actors attached to the webhead's new solo outing have likely been involved for some time, it's only now that the trades are getting the intel.
Filming on Blade Runner 2 is scheduled to begin next month, and while we're very close to cameras rolling, plot details remain under lock and key. It's no surprise that Warner Bros. is wanting to keep a lid on things; the original film is a beloved cult classic, and that's likely why the film's presence at the 2016 Licensing Expo is rather... well, barren.
Straight out of the 2016 Licensing Expo comes a bunch of new promo posters for another upcoming title on Warner Bros' DC slate. The Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman movie is a year away from release, and while we've seen a few glimpses here and there at footage, it's still interesting to see how the studio is positioning its first female superhero pic in marketing materials.
If you've somehow been away from the Internet today, you'll have missed out on the flood of Justice League information that's now hit the web thanks to a bunch of detailed set reports. Zack Snyder's follow-up to Batman v Superman is currently shooting, hence all the excitement, but that's not where the studio's comic book ambitions end.
James Gunn has just wrapped production on his second Marvel Studios movie, bringing in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 a week early and under budget. That's pretty impressive, no? With the movie officially in the can Gunn hit up Facebook today to post the last ever #WhatWeShotWednesday pic. In the comments below someone asked when he gets started on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. Here's his reply:
The CW network has revealed premiere dates for its 2016-2017 roster beginning in early October. Its slate does include a handful of new series set to debut around that time, but honestly? This line-up is a solid reminder that when it comes to designing an interconnected small-screen comic book world, The CW's DC universe is tough to beat.
