Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Wonder Man Scene Possibly Explained (Spoilers)

Set pics previously revealed James Gunn’s buddy Nathan Fillion on movie posters as Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man.

Now a new nugget of info may shed light on why that Earth scene is featured in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Previously it was said Aaron Schwartz is playing a young J’son (Star-Lord’s father in the comics), but now IMDb has been updated stating Schwarz is actually playing a young Ego, which makes sense as in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Ego The Living Planet is Star-Lord’s father, played by Kurt Russell.

It’s possible the Wonder Man scene may be a flashback scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 where the young EGO and Star-Lord’s mother go on a date at the movie theater where the young Ego is attacked.

The Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie theater scene also features Easter Eggs for Jack Kirby, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has a May 5, 2017 release starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn. New cast members include Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan and Kurt Russell.

Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Alien Monster May Connect To Doctor Strange

A few days ago saw new digital art released for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 by artist Andy Park.

The art features the Guardians battling it out with some sort of alien space creature.

James Gunn was asked about the creature during a Facebook Live event and offered details.

“What is the name of the alien monster in the promo art? That’s an Abilisk. A multi-dimensional being. The Guardians have been hired to fight him,” Gunn said.

Mention of the creature being multi-dimensional is rather interesting as Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson also mentioned dimensions noting that Doctor Strange was the start of the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse and teased “other-dimensional psychotropic violence” for the film. It’s also been confirmed that Dormammu, another extra-dimensional being, will be in Doctor Strange.

Fans of the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning Guardians of the Galaxy 2008 comic book series should also recollect that the Guardians battled extra-dimensional creatures from The Fault and the Cancerverse, which came to a head in Ream of Kings and the highly fan-favorite and critical hit The Thanos Imperative.

It would be pretty cool if Marvel’s Phase 3 films with Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War led to Marvel’s Phase 4 with The Avengers 4 battling some of those extra-dimensional beings — or even alternate versions of themselves.

Ant-Man even featured a different dimension of sorts with the Quantum Realm.

Check out Gunn’s Facebook Live post below.

Brother Voodoo Rumored For Doctor Strange

With the Doctor Strange movie introducing the supernatural side of the MCU, it’s now being rumored that Brother Voodoo will make a cameo in the film.

The recent Doctor Strange movie prelude comic that confirmed Mads Mads Mikkelsen as playing Kaecilius also features Daniel Drumm and Tina Moru as part of a team of mystics.

Regarding Brother Voodoo, he is the brother to Daniel Drumm named Jericho Drumm.

It’s further being said that Tina Moru will also cameo in the Doctor Strange movie, who interestingly enough happens to be the mother of one of the Runaways, which is a new Marvel TV series coming to Hulu.

It’s said both characters will be featured briefly in the movie, possibly as Easter Eggs.

In the comics, Jericho Drumm leaves Haiti to become a psychologist in NY. When he returns to Haiti years later he finds his brother, Daniel, who is now a mystic, near death after battling a rival sorcerer. Before Daniel dies, he makes his brother Jericho swear an oath to avenge him. Jericho eventually becomes Brother Voodoo with the help of Papa Jambo when his brother’s soul gets bound to his own.

Avengers: Infinity War Saved Captain America In Civil War

While Captain America: Civil War may have seemed like more show than actual substance as there seemed to be no ramifcations, now two things are learned about the movie offering what went down in the movie actually mattered.

The film took a different road than the Civil War comics in that Captain America actually survives.

Now we find out why.

It’s because of Thanos.

Captain America: Civil War directors and writers spoke with HP about the ending to the film. They not only let it be known that Cap survived because of Avengers: Infinity War, but also that Steve Rogers no longer considers himself “Captain America” anymore; so we do see the end of the movie with Cap dropping the shield and the Avengers splitting actually makes its way throughout other Marvel movies.

Regarding dropping the Captain America mantle:

“I think him dropping that shield is him letting go of that identity,” Joe Russo said. “[It’s] him admitting that certainly the identity of Captain America was in conflict with the very personal choice that he was making.”

Why Captain America survived:

“There’s a big purple guy coming. He could be very helpful,” added writer Christopher Markus.

“The Avengers: Infinity War” has a May 4, 2018 release.

Captain America 3 Original Story Revealed Prior To Civil War

Marvel green lit Captain America: Civil War as a result of WB first announcing Batman Vs. Superman.

Now it’s learned what the third Captain America movie was originally going to be about, which was going to see Cap vs. a zombie-like horde and not featuring Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.

Joe and Anthony Russo reveal that Captain America 3 would have featured the Madbomb story from Captain America #193-200 by Jack Kirby, which sees Cap taking on an army of underground killers.

“There was a period where we did discuss a third act that revolved around the Madbomb from Cap mythology,” Anthony Russo told EW. “It didn’t have anything to do with Civil War, and if we couldn’t get Downey – in the very, very early conversations before we nailed him – somebody pitched the idea of a third-act that revolved around the Madbomb, which makes people crazy. It almost like zombifies them – but not literally.”

As noted, Captain America: Civil War couldn’t have worked without Robert Downey Jr. The article notes Downey Jr. fullfilled his Marvel contract, so his involvment in further movies was up in the air; however, Marvel and Downey Jr. came to a new deal.

“The charm of the Madbomb is that you turn hordes of people into berserkers,” Anthony continued. “That was the physical challenge that Cap and company would have had to face.”

“The notion of the Madbomb would have been Cap having to fight civilians and how he would he handle that,” Joe Russo said. “We were always trying to put him into these interesting moral conundrums because of his nature. That would have made a compelling third act because if civilians are the antagonists, how could he stop them without killing them?”

“Somebody you know has turned into a zombie and now you have to fight them,” Anthony said. “And there would have been the emotional component of that.”

If you are a fan of Doctor Strange the following info shouldn’t be all that surprising. In addition, a Doctor Strange LEGO set references the character.

Recently it was confirmed that Community writer Don Harmon has been brought on board the Doctor Strange movie to do some additional last-minute scenes; however, the news about Harmon on Doctor Strange was first revealed accidently at Comic-Con.

Don Harmon was a part of the Harmontown podcast at the SDCC where he showed off how to screenwrite during a live writing segment. A fan in attendance managed to record the event and took a screen shot of Harmon’s assitance’s computer which shows off that Harmon has been working on Doctor Strange.

The screenwriting program reveals that Doctor Strange confronts Dormammu as well as scenes involving Mads Mikkselsen’s character Kaecilius’ seduction, and numerous scenes involving a magical mystery, new church and rituals. A reference also seems to be made to a Mirror Realm.

Kate Mara Wants A Fantastic Four Sequel (Video)

Fantastic Four bombed at the box office, with the blame aimed at either Simon Kinberg or director Josh Trank (probably both).

It’s probably safe to say that it isn’t the fault of the cast, who I felt did a pretty good job.

Fantastic Four made a measily $168 million at the box office in total, which is almost unheard of these days for a superhero movie, not to mention a Marvel property (Fox Studios owns the rights).

That said, it’s unclear if a Fantastic Four sequel will get made, but in the video below Kata Mara states she would love to come back.

Worth a mention is that Fox Studios eventually has to make another Fantastic Four movie or the rights will revert back to Dsiney and Marvel Studios, but whether or not it will be with this cast is anyone’s guess.

An early Fantastic Four script did sound pretty good as it featured Galactus, Silver Surfer, Annihilus, Mole Man and more; however it required a much larger budget. Maybe that’s the route to go with?

We’re Still Not Ruling Out Avengers X-Men Crossover

There’s been rumors stating that Marvel and Fox are planning an Avengers X-Men movie crossover, with one even stating it’s supposed to happen in 2020.

To add fuel to the fire, Kevin Feige booted Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter from being involved with the movies. Perlmutter was a potential roadblock to working with Fox as reportedly Perlmutter is feuding with Fox over the Marvel character film rights.

In addition, Marvel is working with Sony on Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Spidey recently debuted in the MCU during Civil War, leading to speculation an Avengers X-Men movie could happen.

While we can all dream if an Avengers X-Men crossover movie will ever take place, it may not be in the cards, at least according to Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War director Joe Russo.

“As far as we know, right now there isn’t talk regarding the X-Men,” Russo said while promoting the Captain America: Civil War Blu-Ray, reports Screen Rant. “I don’t know if behind-the-scenes there were conversations or if there are conversations happening but we certainly haven’t heard of any… Sony and Marvel had a relationship through Kevin [Feige] and Amy [Pascal], and through us and Amy. That’s really how Spider-Man came about. It requires a certain alchemy and a very special situation for studios to share properties. There was not talk on Civil War about the X-Men.”

While Joe Russo offers potential bad news about an Avengers X-Men crossover, the good news is that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige actually has a good relationship with Fox and X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner.

“I would love it. I would love it,” Donner said a couple of years ago in an interview. “I personally have close ties to Marvel because of Kevin Feige, because Kevin worked for me. But to take our characters and mingle them in the way that they were written, yeah, absolutely.”

Likewise, back in April while promoting Deadpool, Tim Miller and Simon Kinberg offered they would love an Avengers X-Men crossover.

“I would love to some day in part heal the rift between the world of X-Men and the world of Avengers,” Tim Miller said.

“Yeah, I think we all would,” Simon Kinberg added. “There’s so much crossover in the comics it would be neat to one day be able see those characters share a movie.”

“Kevin [Feige] is so awesome,” Miller continued. “Did you see my little pizza box in one of the scenes? ‘Feige’s Famous Pizza’ — that was my little.. trying to bring these worlds together.”

“Both of us are actually quite close with Kevin and have a profound amount of respect for what he does,” Kinberg offered. “And it would be fun to all team up one day, somehow, together, if that could work.”

“I think it’s a super smart move with Spider-Man. I mean, he’s great,” Miller said.

Deadpool also featured a Marvel Studios Hellicarrier at the end of the film (at least in concept art), so maybe we shouldn’t rule out an Avengers X-Men crossover just yet?

Alternate Harley Quinn & Joker Helicopter Scene Image From Suicide Squad

An image featuring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as Joker from an alternate scene at the end of Suicide Squad has surfaced.

It’s been said that originally Harley and Joker’s relationship was going to be much more abusive and serious than what ended up in the final cut.

According to a list of Suicide Squad cuts, Joker and Harley get into an argument after he rescues her in the hijacked helicopter. It’s even said he pushes her out to kill her, and then the helicopter gets shot down.

Apparently Suicide Squad was reworked to remove the villainous sides of the Suicide Squad (and Joker) and attempted to make them look more like anti-heroes.

“Suicide Squad” is directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Synopsis:

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Zendaya May Not Be Mary Jane In Spider-Man: Homecoming

A few days ago saw a rumor hit the net stating that Zendaya is playing Mary Jane in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The source of the rumor didn’t offer much regarding specifics, but now it’s looking like Zendaya may not actually be playing Mary Jane Watson.

In Vulture‘s report on the rumor, they note originally the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming was going to feature what essentially sounds like a Mary Jane Easter Egg.

It’s said, according to their sources, a twist was to be featured at the end of the Spider-Man: Homecoming where Zendaya’s character tells Peter to call her “MJ.”

Obviously if it’s a twist, that would mean Zendaya is not being called Mary Jane throughout Spider-Man: Homecoming as the “MJ” thing at the end of the movie wouldn’t be a big deal.

On numerous occasions, Zendaya is said to be playing a character named Michelle. We can probably speculate her middle name may start with the letter “J” — and hence the “MJ” nod at the end of the film.

Comic-Con also saw director Jon Watts specifically state Zendaya’s name is Michelle as well. Is Marvel attempting to pull another Khan similar to J.J. Abrams and Paramount’s attempt with Benedict Cumberbatch in Stark Trek Into Darkness (which didn’t go over well at all)?

Honestly, I would be pretty surprised by Kevin Feige if he went the Zendaya as Mary Jane route. Regardless what anyone tries to spin, Mary Jane is an iconic Spider-Man character. The only issue I foresee is that Sony is involved with Amy Pascal as producer on Spider-Man: Homecoming. I believe Pascal green lit the female Ghostbusters bomb and is friends with Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, who Kevin Feige booted from being involved in Marvel Studios and who is thought to be responsible for the PC-replacement characters in Marvel Comics (that is also tanking).

I’ve gotten heat online for my views on the character replacements, but my argument has always been to just create new characters not replacing existing ones. As I’ve said numerous times, I wouldn’t want a non-black Luke Cage, Black Panther or John Stewart — that’s just plain ridiculous.

I’m not the only one.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.

Synopsis:

Channing Tatum Gambit Movie Loses Second Director

The Fox Studios Channing Tatum Gambit movie has lost its second director.

Following Ruper Wyatt leaving Gambit, Doug Liman boarded the project, but now Liman has set sail for greener pastures over at Warner Bros. for the DC movie Justice League Dark.

Variety reports Doug Liman left Fox on good terms and it’s considered a mutual split.

The news of Doug Liman departing Gambit shouldn’t be all that surprising as Fox recently yanked Gambit from its release schedule; in addition, Channing Tatum has taken on other projects.

Simon Kinberg recently gave an update on the delayed release of Gambit citing the movie needed more time to develop and to get the tone right (via Slash Film):

I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone…’Deadpool’ feels like it exploded out of nowhere, but it was a 10-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those 10 years.

I hope that ‘Gambit’ doesn’t take 10 years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that ‘Deadpool’ has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it’s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character, and I think we’re really close right now.

Gambit was originally going to be released some time in 2018.

Justice League Dark Live-Action Movie Is A Go

With the animated Justice League Dark movie coming out, many speculated that spelled the end of the live-action version, but it’s learned that is not the case.

Variety reports the live-action Dark Universe (Justice League Dark) movie is moving forward with Doug Liman attached to direct, with Scott Rudin producing, and Michael Gilio writing the script.

Doug Liman was previously attached to the Fox Studios Channing Tatum Gambit movie, but will no longer be directing that film.

Plot details are being kept under wraps about Justice League Dark, but it’s described as a “dark Justice League team that consists of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.”

It’s further said Justice League Dark will play a major role in the new D.C. Cinematic Universe.

Guillermo Del Toro was at one time up to direct Justice League Dark, but the report notes he got busy with other projects, with Rudin breathing new life into the project. Scott Rudin produced No Country for Old Men, The Truman Show, Ex Machina, The Newsroom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Social Network and many more films.

Swamp Thing test footage recently hit the net for a live-action Justice League Dark movie as well.

Matt Reeves most recently played Constantine in the DC TV universe, which has been said to be separate from the DC movie universe. Colin Farrell was at one time rumored for Constantine.

No actors have been announced for Justice League Dark and WB has yet to officially announce the project.

Hugh Jackman Wraps Wolverine 3 With A Shave (Video)

Hugh Jackman has finished filming his last Wolverine movie.

The nine-time Wolverine actor took to his social media to post video of himself shaving off his muttonchops for the last time.

“My wife is going to be very happy,” Jackman posted on Twitter.

The third Wolverine movie will also be the last X-Men film for Patrick Stewart who reprises as Professor X.

No plot details are known for The Wolverine 3, but Hugh Jackman did previously tease some sort of adaptation of the Marvel Comics “Old Man Logan” storyline. In addition, Hugh Jackman asked fans what they most wanted to see in his last outing as the adamantium-wielding bersker-raging mutie with fans responding the yellow Wolverine suit and another battle versus Sabretooth.

It’s also unknown what will happen following the departure of Hugh Jackman from the Wolverine role: Will Fox reboot the character? Or will Fox go the James Bond route with Wolverine and simply use a new actor?

Hugh Jackman first appeared as Logan and Wolverine in the 2000 Bryan Singer X-Men movie.

The untitled “Wolverine” 3 has a March 3 2017 release directed by James Mangold also starring Elizabeth Rodriguez, Boyd Holbrook, Stephen Merchant, Richard E. Grant, Doris Morgado and Eriq La Salle.
