Back in February, we reported that John Wesley Shipp, who famously portrayed the Flash in the eponymous 1990s TV series, had joined the cast of the new Flash show which debuts on The CW in the fall. At the time, his role had been kept a secret and it has remained a mystery up until today.
It appears that director Colin Trevorrow is taking a page from Marc Webb's playbook by releasing tantalizing images and plot teases from his upcoming film, Jurassic World, via social media platforms.
Despite recent showrunner shifts for Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series, things appear to be moving full steam ahead, with filming expected to begin in July. Now that Steven S. DeKnight has been put in charge, his first big decision will be casting the titular Man Without Fear. While we don't have anything official on who might be playing the role, Latino Review thinks that Boardwalk Empire's Charlie Cox is the frontrunner. For now, I recommend taking this news with a grain of salt, as they admit that the report is unconfirmed. Although, they "trust the sources enough to publish," so take that as you will.
We've seen countless superheroes make their way to the big screen, but I doubt anyone expected Bananaman to be one of them. However, the popular British comic strip character is defying the odds and getting a blockbuster of his own, though we know almost nothing about it.
Ever since his appearance in The Avengers' post-credits scene, Thanos has cast an enormous shadow over the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and has sparked quite a bit of pondering from fans. We know that the Mad Titan is the big overarching villain of the MCU, and will likely face off against Earth's Mightiest Heroes in full force in The Avengers 3. However, he has a supporting role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, meaning we'll finally get to see him in action on August 1st. We just have no idea who's playing him.
For a supposedly slow holiday weekend, there sure has been a lot of talk about Marvel Studios circulating the Web. Admittedly, there is always Marvel talk, but in the last 24 hours we've heard about Edgar Wright's surprising departure from Ant-Man, which was then followed by Drew Goddard's departure from the Daredevil Netflix series. Now, we have some Namor news trickling in, which could throw a wrench into some of the things we thought we knew about the aquatic anti-hero.
Fresh off the heels of Edgar Wright's shocking departure from Ant-Man, rumors broke this morning that Drew Goddard had vacated his post as showrunner of Marvel's Daredevil series. Now, his departure has been confirmed and a replacement has already been announced.
One of our most hotly anticipated upcoming films is Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World, though at this point in time we know very little about the fourth installment of the beloved dinosaur action/adventure franchise. In truth, we have more questions than we do answers, though with production now officially underway, some rumors and leaked photos have made their way online.
In a summer packed to the gills with big budget comic book films featuring star-spangled Avengers, web-slingers, time traveling mutants and intergalactic ex-cons, it's understandable that one particular comic book movie has flown a bit under the radar. Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame To Kill For comes at the tail end of summer, arriving in theaters on August 22nd, and promises much of the same bloody, pulpy, black-and-white grit and mayhem that made the original 2005 film so special. However, you'd be hard pressed to find much buzz about it, making the marketing campaign that much more important.
At this point, it's safe to say that Deadpool's inclusion in the ill-fated and universally-hated X-Men Origins: Wolverine still has fans of the character upset, especially since that solo Deadpool movie we've been hearing about for the last few years continues to collect dust on some Fox executive's shelf. Last we heard, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner was still interested in bringing the character back to the big screen, and listed the film as one of several potential spin-offs in the future.
