Watch: Tom Hiddleston Talk Thor 3

Check out video above of Tom Hiddleston from the BAFTAs where the Loki actor briefly mentions Thor 3.

“Thor 3 is happening at some point. And the last time we saw Loki he was on the throne so there is some questions to be answered,” Hiddleston said. “I love the character. It’s a great great character. It’s amazing how the whole Marvel world has been embraced by people who love films. It’s fun.”

Chris Hemsworth also mentioned Thor 3 recently teasing it’s a “big one” as well as mentioning how The Avengers 2 will be an impact on the third film in the franchise.

Speaking of impacts, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige previously said more of the same when he mentioned Thor 3 will take things to another level.

“This is a very important movie for us in our Phase 3 timeline,” Feige said regarding Thor 3. “As the Russo’s did so well reinventing Captain America in the Winter Soldier and changing everything that would come after it, that is the plan for Thor: Ragnarok — to take Thor to another level of his own franchise and in fact picks up right after we leave him in The Avengers 2 and will impact everything to come afterwards.”

“Thor: Ragnarok” has a July 28, 2017 release.

Arrow’s John Diggle Might Be Green Lantern John Stewart Says David Ramsey

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19073:]]

Fans of Green Lantern, Arrow, and David Ramsey have long speculated that John Diggle may actually be John Stewart.

The fan theory is that when Diggle was in the military, he changed his name (for whatever reason).

Now it’s learned that the theory might not be too far off as David Ramsey has confirmed there are talks that Diggle might become Green Lantern.

Ramsey confirms the Green Lantern possibility in a recent interview (via Screen Rant):

“Is John Diggle John Stewart? I cannot say ‘yes,’ and I cannot say, ‘no.’ I’m serious! I do know that there is serious discussion about whether or not this guy becomes John Stewart. But, I mean, I’ll say this: it is top secret. I’ve asked them and they’re like, ‘we’re working on some stuff.’ If that’s the case, it’s gonna be huge. This is the stuff they want to avoid. I think they don’t want anybody to know yet and they haven’t even told me. But they have told me that they are thinking about it and that they are considering it. But they’re not going to release anything yet. That’s exactly what they told me. Greg Berlanti told me that. Andrew [Kreisberg] and Marc [Guggenheim] have told me that. I haven’t spoken to Geoff Johns about it. But that’s the word from people directly involved in Arrow- that they’re working on something.

“Here’s the truth of it: if I knew, I would tell you I know the answer to that, but I’m not at liberty to tell you that. I would answer like that. I probably wouldn’t tell you anyway, but I would at least tell you that I know. I honestly do not know.”

Cosmic Book News was previously told that plans for Green Lantern in the Arrow universe are underway and that Green Lantern would crossover with The Flash. Just three weeks ago also saw mention there are plans for more spinoffs as well. 

“Now, boy we’ve referenced Ferris Air a lot. It would be really cool to have Green Lantern,” Ramsey added. “Hopefully, that happens. I have no inside information, unless I do.”

Spider-Man Talks May Be Happening Between Sony & Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19066:]]

Yesterday saw news that Amy Pascal had stepped down as co-chairman of Sony Pictures with it said Pascal was going on to be a part of a new production venture and producer on future Amazing Spider-Man movies.

Now in Variety‘s own report about Pascal’s departure, it’s mentioned the biggest decision for Pascal is how to handle the Spider-Man franchise, which did less than what was hoped as Sony thinks Spider-Man should be a billion dollar movie franchise.

While the report appears to just provide speculation as no sources are cited, it does note the plan to go forward with Sinister Six as a way to expand the Spider-Man franchise may need to be re-examined, as when Pascal was head of Sony movies, she was pursuing that path. 

It’s stated in the article the new Sony regime may decide to return to the negotiation table with Marvel over Spider-Man’s rights.

Yesterday’s report did see mention by Pascal that the next two years of plans were already slated, so whatever could become of Spider-Man may already be set.

It’s also possible a deal with Marvel could already have gone through, and we are just waiting on the big announcement (Comic-Con?).

Marvel Says Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Story Is Risky

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19065:]]

No stranger to risk, now James Gunn says Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is risky as well.

When Guardians of the Galaxy was announced, aside from the Marvel Cosmic faithful, not many comic or fans from the general public were even aware of any characters from the team.

Some had written Guardians of the Galaxy off before they had even seen the first trailer; however, Gunn and the Guardians of the Galaxy managed to score three-quarters of a billion dollars as well as achieving the best grossing movie for 2014 in the U.S.

Now while participating in a podcast, Gunn lets it be known that Marvel thinks his take on Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is risky.

“It’s not really based on anything. The story for Guardians 2 is an original story that I came up with that I started working on actually while I was shooting Guardians 1, and it’ll answer some of the questions that were put forth in the first movie about Peter Quill’s father and who he is and what’s going on with that. We’ll get to know some of the characters a little bit more and then we’re going to meet a couple of new characters who will be very important to Guardians movies and probably important to the Marvel Universe as a whole.”

“It’s different than what’s in the comic books. Peter Quill’s father is somebody different in the comics. So then when the movie came out, we got green-lit on the sequel right away. I went in and I sat down with those guys and I’m like, ‘Okay, here’s what I think the sequel should be.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, whoa. That’s risky, but okay.’ Now I’m going to turn over the story in a few short weeks and we’ll find out how well it works.”

It’s interesting that Marvel apparently thinks Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is risky as it must mean Gunn is not just going to copy what he did for Guardians of the Galaxy (which Marvel was probably banking on).

Gunn also says above that the story for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is original, which apparently shoots down the recent rumors that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is based on the Marvel Comics Annihilation: Conquest event.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 has a May 5, 2017 release.

Watch: The Walking Dead “Best Season Ever” Trailer

AMC has released another trailer for this Sunday’s return of The Walking Dead with “Best Season Ever.”

The Walking Dead Seson 5 returns Sunday, February 8th at 9pm ET.

About:

After the tragic events of the mid-season finale — as well as losing the possibility of a cure in Washington, DC — Rick Grimes’ band of survivors find themselves on the road, surviving day to day and trying to hold on to their shredded humanity and dwindling hope.

Stripped of security and without a direction for the future, some of the group near their breaking point, some find themselves hardened and cold and some just try to grasp on to what little they have left.

Though they are still breathing, the line between Rick’s group and the dead is starting to blur.

Could there be anything at this point that brings them back to life?

The Walking Dead stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Chad Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green, Michael Cudlitz, Alanna Masterson, Christian Serratos and Josh McDermitt.
