Marvel Studios will make history in 2016 when they bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War. Sony Pictures hold the rights to the character, but following the disappointing critical and commercial performance of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and the "Sony Hack", they had no other choice than to turn to Kevin Feige for help.
In news which probably won't surprise you, the MPAA has officially classified Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice as PG-13. Considering the fact that the movie kicks off next year's summer blockbuster season early in March, the fact that Warner Bros. want it to reach as many people as possible is obviously easy to understand!
We're now two episodes in to the second season of Gotham, and things have gotten off to a pretty intense start. Characters have been killed off or undergone major status quo shifts, while Jerome has taken centre stage as we seemingly witness the early stages of his transformation into The Joker. Looking ahead to what's to come though, and Fox has today released the official description for the fifth instalment of the Batman prequel.
Despite the mixed reception to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Andrew Garfield's acting career definitely hasn't taken too much of a hit, as he recently finished working with Martin Scorsese and will also soon be seen in Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge. The British actor has actually landed the lead role in the World War II set movie and will star alongside Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer and Rachel Griffiths.
It was recently revealed that Universal had put the breaks on the planned Pacific Rim sequel, but with Guillermo del Toro later promising that the movie would eventually happen, fans of the franchise at least had something to grasp on to. Unfortunately, things are looking even worse for the film today, as Universal has now removed it entirely from their upcoming slate.
While the first season of Daredevil may have only hinted at the existence of the other Defenders (and even then, it was just a very vague nod to the world of Iron Fist), it's become clear that both Jessica Jones and Luke Cage will be expanding this corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a major way. Luke will take on a starring role in Jessica's series for example, while Daredevil character Claire Temple is set to appear in his upcoming 2016 series.
It's been a busy day for The Flash. Following the release of a promo giving us our first look at Zoom and a stunning new poster, The CW has now debuted a featurette which reveals the show's new Firestorm.
It's been revealed today that Academy Award winning actor Russell Crowe (Man of Steel) is going to star in the upcoming film In Sand and Blood, IM Global's upcoming "epic drama" which is set to revolve around white slavery.
Before the Sony Hack and Marvel's subsequent deal with the studio to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Drew Goddard's Sinister Six came very close to becoming a reality. In fact, it was one of a number of spinoffs being lined up, with others including Venom and a female-led movie focusing on an unspecified group of characters.
