As you may or may not recall, Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins was at one time attached to helm Thor: The Dark World for Marvel Studios. The typical "creative differences" excuse led to that not happening, but the filmmaker would only have to wait a few years before getting her hands on a very different comic book superhero.
Even if you don't read comic books, chances are you'll be familiar with Robert Kirkman's name. The Image Comics scribe is the creator of The Walking Dead, a series which has become a global phenomenon since being brought to television by AMC. However, what you may not know is that Kirkman has another long-running comic called Invincible which is also well past the #100 issue mark.
It was earlier today that Marvel and Netflix finally revealed when The Defenders will assemble on the online streaming service, and anticipation is understandably at an all-time high to see these heroes come together on the small screen for the first time.
Tom Hardy and director Pablo Larraín - both of whom are on hot streaks right now - will be teaming up to bring us an adaptation of The True American, based on Anand Giridharadas’ non-fiction novel of the same name.
2017's next big superhero movie is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and plenty of awesome promotional material for the highly anticipated sequel is now finding its way online. The latest is a batch of character posters revolving around the core team members from the first movie. That'd be Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Baby Groot, Drax and Gamora.
2016 was a rough year for Warner Bros., to say the least. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad succeeded at the box office but not with critics (or most fans), and now, the studio has to be hoping that they can turn things around with Wonder Woman and Justice League, both of which are on course for release later this year.
Believe it or not, Avatar was released back in 2009. Yes, it really has been eight years since the highest grossing movie of all-time took the world by storm and redefined 3D filmmaking, and in that period, Avatar 2 has just never come to fruition. It's been very stop and start, with cancelled release dates and endless rumours about multiple sequels all being shot at once persisting, but nothing has actually happened yet.
Earlier today, the embargo on the Spider-Man: Homecoming set visit lifted and as expected, a flood of information about Jon Watts' upcoming reboot hit the web. From how the film bridges the gap between itself and Civil War to what we can expect from the tech that Tony Stark will give the titular hero, fans have been bombarded with all things Spidey today, and it's not looking to let up any time soon.
In the past fifteen years, we've seen six big screen appearances from Spider-Man with three different actors in the role. The seventh will be this July's Spider-Man: Homecoming, and just like Captain America: Civil War glossed over Uncle Ben's fate, it sounds like this solo outing for the wall-crawler will do the same.
The Amazing Spider-Man movies were divisive among fans for a variety of reasons, but pretty much everyone had hoped that Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker would make his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That obviously didn't happen and instead, the decision was made to reboot the franchise with a new actor - Tom Holland - being introduced in Captain America: Civil War last year before going on to headline his own outing in this July's Spider-Man: Homecoming.
