While we’ve undoubtedly become accustomed to Zack Snyder playing the role of spoiler regarding the purging of his DCEU, storyboard artist Jay Oliva has proven to be quite the veritable treasure trove of information himself as of late. Earlier this weekend, Oliva, who's served in the art department on every single entry in the franchise up until this point, singlehandedly corroborated most of the lore apropos of a Justice League director’s cut.
DCEU storyboard artist Jay Oliva has confirmed that he was the man behind Superman and his lackluster freeze breath depicted in the climax of Justice League.
With San Diego Comic-Con still roughly a month away, where we half expect the fabled Snyder cut of Justice League to be rolled out, storyboard artist Jay Oliva - who's been a veritable treasure trove of DCEU minutia, mind you - has once again doused the fandom flame in kerosene.
Nevertheless, while it has undeniably been the year of Thanos up until this point, another hotly-anticipated release is making some serious waves at the box office; Incredibles 2. Although it was reported that the Brad Bird-directed superhero sequel could be headed for a $135M-$150M opening - a figure that would procure the largest ever opening for an animated feature, which is presently held by another Disney/Pixar joint: Finding Dory ($135M) - no-one could’ve predicted that the Parr family would pack this significant a punch.
The Last we heard of Evil Dead 2 came roughly a month ago from the filmmaker himself. Álvarez queried followers and fans apropos of whether or not they’d be interested in seeing him helm a sequel to the surprisingly sufficient 2013 remake. While those in favour made their voices heard, since the poll, which was far from confirmation of anything in the first place, the Don’t Breath director hasn’t provided any additional information regarding the sequel.
What with the creation and dispersing of fake scripts, NDAs, and potentially hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that we’re all just trafficking in movies. Nonetheless, it’s refreshing to see high profile talent take their job a little less seriously. Case in point: this week’s Twitter interaction between Tom Holland and J.A. Bayona.
Although we’ve still got a ways to go before Avengers 4 can provide some semblance of closure - whatever form that may take - there’s still quite the lengthy list of unanswered queries regarding the MCU. Granted, following the disastrous climax of Infinity War, there isn’t much the Powers That Be can say to console those heartbroken by the Snap of Doom, but the screenwriting dream team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have at least eased some of the suffering, even if it's only temporarily
Earlier this week, an image depicting Deadpool taking a stroll alongside Captain America began making the rounds online. Obviously, the picture in question turned out to be nothing more than an incredibly well done photoshop job, but that didn’t stop one eager fan from fishing out the truth from Wade Wilson himself.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began its decade-long march to box office superiority with the moderately successful superhero flick Iron Man. Nineteen movies and nearly $17 billion later, and the Marvel Studios brainchild is now the highest-grossing film franchise of all-time, which was punctuated earlier this week with yet another ticket booth touchstone.
