Check out the official trailer for the upcoming animated movie, Batman: The Killing Joke, which will be rated-R.

Info:

Batman: The Killing Joke, one of the best-selling graphic novels in history, tells the tale of The Joker’s origin story – from his humble beginnings as a struggling comic, to his fateful encounter with Batman that changes both of their lives forever. Actors Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprise their Batman: The Animated Series roles as Batman and The Joker, respectively.

A two-time Eisner Award winner written by renowned comics author Alan Moore, Batman: The Killing Joke has maintained an unparalleled popularity throughout its 28 years of existence – as evidenced by its ranking as the best-selling graphic novel of 2015.

Batman: The Killing Joke also features the voices of Tara Strong (Teen Titans; Batman: Arkham games), as Barbara Gordon and Ray Wise (Twin Peaks, RoboCop) as Commissioner Gordon. Warner Bros.

John Wick Directors Worked On Captain America: Civil War Action Scenes

More good news about Captain America: Civil War comes from the fact that the directors of John Wick helped out on action sequences in the movie.

Similar to myself, Collider happens to be a big fan of John Wick and let it be known Chad Stahelski and David Leitch did the second unit work on Captain America: Civil War. Here is what Joe Russo had to say on the subject:

Joe Russo: They did us a huge favor. They’re friends of ours. Obviously they are off now enjoying very successful directing careers. Just as friends, we called them and asked them if they would help us execute some of the action sequences, along with Spiro Razatos, who is generally regarded as the top guy along with Chad and Dave, so we literally had an all-star team of second unit directors working on this movie with us because we care so much about the action, and the quality of action, and we knew we had to work really hard to up our game from Winter Soldier. So we wanted to bring in the best people in the business to help us to that.

Chad Stahelski is returning for John Wick 2 as well.

Watch more video above with the Russo’s including mention of how long the first cut of Captain America: Civil War was.

Henry Cavill Says Thank You For Superman & Justice League Support

Henry Cavill has taken to his official Facebook page to thank fans for all their support. Cavill posted the above image of himself lifting weights.

“You helped raise the bar on Superman training today!” The Man of Steel actor posted. “I did 1 million reps in honour of you guys…just kidding, it wasn’t anywhere near that many but I did want to say thank you for the continuous support you have shown for the things that are dear to my heart!”

Cavill also tagged the post with: “#ThankYou #SupermanTraining #Superman #JusticeLeague.”

Following Man of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman, Henry Cavill returns for Justice League, which is currently filming in the UK.

Both Cavill and Justice League co-star Aquaman Jason Momoa have been hitting the weights pretty hard as of late. It’s thought we’ll see a duel between the Last Son Of Krypton and the King of the Seven Seas at some point in the film.

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Wilem Dafoe in an unknown role.

Captain America: Civil War Is “Everything Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice Wasn’t”

It should probably come as no surprise, but Captain America: Civil War is projected to open huge.

Deadline reports, at least in their opinion and probably the opinions of at least a few others, that Captain America: Civil War “is everything that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice wasn’t in its execution: Funny, politically savvy, and just a great ride.”

Captain America: Civil War is projected to have a $190 million+ opening weekend in the U.S, which would not only pass Batman Vs. Superman‘s $160 million opener from last month, but it’s said the projection is at the low end, meaning Civil War could end up scoring one of the best opening weekend’s ever — possibly even better than The Avengers: Age of Ultron ($191.3 million).

Internationally, it’s said Captain America: Civil War is projected to open between $200-$230 million.

The report also mentions to expect Captain America: Civil War to be a lot better than Whedon’s Age of Ultron as Civil War “drops the Avengers action into fifth gear.”

Some other stats mentioned include:

• Fandango reports that Captain America: Civil War is already selling more advance tickets than all previous Marvel movies.

• Movio says advance ticket buyers are mostly males at 73%, with the average age being 32-33 years old.

• In addition close to half the crowd is made up of ticket buyers aged 22-40.

• 45% percent of presale tickets are for Thursday night, with almost 90% of tickets for Thursday-Saturday on opening weekend.

• Civil War is surpassing Avengers in interest.

• Captain America: Civil War has a 97% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Marvel Explains Ancient One Doctor Strange Casting: Not Of Asian Origin

Long story short: Marvel Studios has been receiving online flak due to the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in Doctor Strange. Things seemed to get even more heated when Scarlett Johansson was cast in Ghost In the Shell (a non-Marvel movie), leading to accussations of the whitewashing of Asian characters all around.

Now Marvel Studios has issued a statement defending the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in Doctor Strange. We see they changed up the origin to give the character a Celtic background (similar to the change of Ben Kingsley getting cast as Mandarin in Iron Man 3).

The writer of Doctor Strange also offered the reason for the change is due to not wanting to upset the Chinese (who don’t get along with Tibet). China is obviously becoming a huge cash cow for movies; if the Chinese Communist govt. was to ban Doctor Strange, obviously that would hurt Marvel and Disney’s pocketbook.

Marvel’s statement (via Mashable):

Marvel has a very strong record of diversity in its casting of films and regularly departs from stereotypes and source material to bring its MCU to life. The Ancient One is a title that is not exclusively held by any one character, but rather a moniker passed down through time, and in this particular film the embodiment is Celtic. We are very proud to have the enormously talented Tilda Swinton portray this unique and complex character alongside our richly diverse cast.

Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill comments:

“[The Ancient One] originates from Tibet, so if you acknowledge that Tibet is a place and that he’s Tibetan, you risk alienating one billion people who think that that’s bullsh*t and risk the Chinese government going, ‘Hey, you know one of the biggest film-watching countries in the world? We’re not going to show your movie because you decided to get political,” Cargill explained.

“If we decide to go the other way and cater to China in particular,” he continued, ” — if you think it’s a good idea to cast a Chinese actress as a Tibetan character, you are out of your damn fool mind and have no idea what the f*ck you’re talking about.”

“Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Benedict Wong and Mads Mikkelsen.

“Doctor Strange” follows the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.

“Doctor Strange” is the latest film in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 3’s goal—over the course of four years and nine films—is to introduce audiences to new heroes and continue the adventures of fan favorites.

Wesley Snipes has signed a multi-picture deal with WWE Studios with the first film being Temple, which will also star WWE Superstar Seth Rollins. The second movie films later this year. Below you can read the official announcement for Temple.

Info:

Seth Rollins to star alongside Wesley Snipes in ‘Temple’

Erebus Pictures, the genre specialty label formed by multimedia magnate and KISS co-founder Gene Simmons and WWE Studios, have announced that Wesley Snipes (“The Expendables 3”), Anne Heche (“Wild Card”), Dave Annable (“Brothers and Sisters”) and WWE Superstar Seth Rollins are on board to star in the John Stockwell directed thriller “Temple.” Filming will commence April 6. Snipes will also serve as a producer on “Temple” along with Simmons and WWE Studios President Michael Luisi.

“Temple,” written by Matt Savelloni (“Exile to Babylon”), and directed by John Stockwell (“In The Blood”), follows a team of trained operatives consisting of Snipes, Heche, Annable and Rollins, who find themselves trapped inside an isolated military compound after its artificial intelligence is suddenly shut down — and then begin to experience strange and horrific phenomena.

“Gene and I are thrilled to have such a stellar cast on board for our first Erebus picture.” said Luisi. “We also look forward to extending our relationship with John Stockwell.”

“I could not be more pleased that we are launching our first film for Erebus pictures and have John on board to direct.” said Simmons. “I am really looking forward to working with this fantastic cast as well as Michael and the whole team at WWE.”

“It’s exciting to find myself in a genre I have always wanted to explore,” said Wesley Snipes. “We are looking forward to a great brand collaboration with Erebus, WWE and Gene.”

As previously announced, Simmons partnered with WWE Studios to launch Erebus Pictures to produce elevated genre films. Erebus Pictures plans to use WWE’s extensive platforms from weekly TV shows, including WWE’s flagship programs, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown, digital, social media and WWE Network, to market the film.

Bryan Singer Teases New Wolverine For X-Men: Apocalypse

Yesterday saw Hugh Jackman tease Wolverine in X-Men: Apocalypse on his social networks, and then we all saw Wolverine in the final X-Men: Apocalypse trailer.

Empire caught up with director Bryan Singer who offered an enigmatic response about the scene. While Singer at least offers more of Wolverine will be seen in the film, Singer also says it’s the “birth of a new direction.”

“Make of that what you want,” he pokerfaces. “I will say, it’s not simple. There’s something more pivotal that occurs with that. It hints to a sequence that again fits within the canon of all six movies, and the birth of a new direction. It’s not insignificant, nor is it simply just a throw-in.” So, will we find out to whom the claws belong? “It’s not the only shot you’re gonna see, let’s put it that way.”

We know Hugh Jackman will be featured in his last Wolverine movie, which hits next March. Is there a chance X-Men: Apocalypse will give us a glimpse of a new – assumed younger – Wolverine?

Watch the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer below.

“X-Men: Apocalypse” has a May 27, 2016 release directed by Bryan Singer starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Helman, Lana Condor & Ben Hardy.

Synopsis:

Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.

Avengers & X-Men Crossover Not Being Seriously Considered

Following Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn stating not to believe the rumors about Fox and Disney, now Deadpool director Tim Miller and executive producer Simon Kinberg say more of the same.

Miller and Kinberg spoke with CBR, where Miller notes he doesn’t think “anybody would seriously consider it” due to the legal issues and such.

Miller: I’m ready for it, but the studios are not ready for it.

Kinberg: We would love it. I mean, Tim and I talked about it quite a bit. We grew up on comics that did it all the time, quite freely. Not just within the Marvel Universe, but outside the Marvel Universe. So it’d be rad to see it. Those decisions are made by people at a much higher part of the food chain than Tim and I — we just go execute it.

But yeah, we would love it, and we certainly each have a really good relationship with Kevin Feige. Maybe one day there’s a sit-down, “Godfather”-style dinner where we could broker a deal. It’d be cool.

Miller: I honestly can say, as an adult who works in this industry, you certainly can see all the reasons why it doesn’t happen. The corporate inertia, just the lawyering of that deal alone is so daunting that I don’t think anybody would seriously consider it.

But as a fan, you just want to go, “Fuck man! Why can’t I see that?” Because that’s what I got in comic books. What’s more, they had DC/Marvel crossover events that were just stupendous. On a creative level, you just want to say that comic books is just a huge world. I read Marvel, and I read DC, and I read Image, and I read small independent publishers. I’ve got a “Goon” comic book from Dark Horse. I love all of that stuff. To me, it’s all one big world.

The previous Avengers and X-Men rumor stated a crossover movie was happening in 2020, with a second rumor stating the X-Men was going to be rebooted within the MCU following X-Men: Apocalypse.

Prince William & Harry Get Star Wars: Episode VIII Cameo Roles; Includes Benicio del Toro

A few days ago saw Prince William and Prince Harry visit the set of Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Now it’s learned the royal pair participated in a scene which saw the two don Stormtrooper suits.

The UK’s Express received word the scene also involves Benicio del Toro.

Prince William and Prince Harry were surprised by director Rian Johnson who had them suit up as Stormtroopers where they played the parts alongside Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Benicio del Toro. The scene is said to involve Rey and Finn infiltrating a secret base.

“The rebel characters are in a lift with Benicio del Toro’s character when a group of Stormtroopers enter – two of whom are William and Harry,” a source told the site.

It’s unknown if the scene will make the final cut, but it possibly suggests Benicio del Toro might be playing a good guy as he could be teaming with Rey and Finn. Of course, another possibility is that Rey and Finn have been captured by Benicio del Toro, and the Stormtroopers, played by Prince William and Harry, are there to assist. It’s rumored Benicio del Toro is playing a villain named Lord Vikram.

The report also says Prince William kept in his Stormtrooper guise as he gave a birthday cake to a member of the crew.

“The guy said it was surreal, being presented with a birthday cake by the future King of England who was dressed as a Stormtrooper,” the soure offered. “The Princes had a great time and could not have been more relaxed and friendly to everyone on set. It’s obvious they are genuine Star Wars fans.”

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Nathan Fillion Easter Eggs Revealed

Following the Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Jack Kirby Easter Eggs for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, now buddy to James Gunn, Nathan Fillion’s own reference is discovered on set.

Fans spotted mock movie posters featuring Nathan Fillion who is featured as Simon Williams aka Wonder Man. Fillion also played an alien in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

In the comics, Wonder Man starred in the “Arkon” movies, which saw the character of same name do battle against Wonder Man and tell Simon not to have the studio do any more films with his name.

Regarding the “Haxan” movie poster, it seems it’s a possible reference the 1922 movie of the same name, in which Wiki describes as: “Swedish-Danish silent film written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. Based partly on Christensen’s study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th-century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts. The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatised sequences that are comparable to horror films.”

The third movie poster looks to possibly be a Tony Stark film with Simon Williams playing the lead character, which might be an Iron Man movie based in the MCU from the events that went down in the 2008 movie.

The fourth poster, “Oh, Rebecca,” may be a reference to Fillion’s former role on the soap, One Life To Live. Actress Rebecca Budig from the soap has appeared on Fillion’s Castle.

You can also check out Guardians of the Galaxy 2 set video from the scene featuring some sort of chase and car crash. Maybe it’s Arkon?

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” has a May 5, 2017 release directed by James Gunn starring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Salanda as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, with Kurt Russell playing an unknown role.
