Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Includes Abnett, Lanning, Kirby Easter Eggs; Set On Earth

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 set images out of Cartersville, Georgia have hit the net revealing some cool Easter Eggs as well as the apparent revelation the movie will in part take place on Earth.

We see from the gallery below signs on buildings with “Abnett,” “Lanning,” and “Kirby.”

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning were the writers behind the 2008 Marvel comic book that inspired the movie.

Of course, Kirby is legendary comic artist and creator Jack Kirby.

What’s also interesting is that judging by the vehicles used, the movie looks to visit Earth in the here-and-now as the vehicles look new.

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.

Justice League 2017: J.K. Simmons Talks Playing Commissioner Gordon

The DCEU Justice League will have a new Commissioner Gordon, played by the recently announced J.K. Simmons.

Collider caught up with the actor to get his thoughts. You can also read what the previous Gordon, Gary Oldman, had to say about giving advice to Simmons.

On reading the comics:

Well, to read the comics, yes, absolutely. I’m still a couple of months out from doing that and I have two other films before then, so I haven’t gotten started on that. Obviously, a lot of really wonderful actors have played that character previously, and most of them I saw at the time the movies came out, never imagining that I would be doing the same thing. So, I can’t say that I don’t have some impression of that character in my head that’s based on what I saw, but I’m not planning on going back and watching any of the other films. I’m just planning on learning as much as I can about him through the comics and getting my feet wet in the first movie, and then hopefully continuing on from there. I take this from my days doing theater. If I was doing a musical, I would never listen to the cast album because I wanted to do my version of something. I’m sure there will be differences and similarities with what Gary Oldman or Pat Hingle have done before, but I’m just going to try to do my take on it and be as informed as I can about the rich history of the Batman universe, going into it.

On also playing J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man:

There are easy comparisons to make. I wasn’t a big comic book reading kid, so I did a fair amount of reading when I was playing Jameson, who was very much the comic relief in those movies. Even in the comics, he was a blowhard who was all bark and very rarely bite. My understanding, from what I’ve learned so far about Commissioner Gordon, is that he’s the older guy with the mustache who relates with our hero in a certain way. Other than that, it’s a vastly different character and much more of a stronger, impactful character in the DC universe.

“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.

Karl Urban Wants Dredd 2 On Amazon or Netflix

Karl Urban wants Dredd 2 on either Amazon Prime or Netflix.

The actor tweeted out in response to a fan’s recommendation: “Dredd 2: I’d do it !! @netflix or @Amazon . There’s a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories!”

Karl Urban starred in Dredd in 2012, which is considered a big bomb at the box office, but has a huge cult following. The movie only brought in $35 million on a $50 million budget. 

There was initial talk of doing a sequel by Urban; however, both the director and producer stated it’s not going to happen, with the reason cited being the obvious: It’s all about money

Maybe an Amazon or Netflix Dredd 2 movie/series is the way to go?

Check out Urban’s tweet below:

X-Men: Apocalypse Reveals The Blob? New Behind-The-Scenes Images

The Blob might have been snuck into X-Men: Apocalypse.

Bryan Singer took to Instragram to reveal a new image from the movie where we see what looks to be an unconscious Blob as a possible result of fighting Angel.

“Mutant Martial Arts. Light as a feather. #MMA #Xmen #xmenApocalypse,” Singer included in the post.

Kevin Duran played Fred Dukes, aka The Blob, in X-Men: Origins Wolverine.

It’s not clear if this is the Blob or just a “heavy” weight opponent.

Check out two behind-the-scenes images below as well.

“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.

Kent Farm House Returning For Justice League

It’s learned the Kent Farm House looks to be returning in some form for the Justice League movie.

The Superman Home Page reports locals have seen movement in the area where the Kent Farm is located in Yorkville, Illinois.

It’s said security is patrolling the area and boards have been taken down from windows.

More than likely crews are preparing the Kent Farm House for filming Justice League at a later day. The farm house was specially created for Man of Steel, and then used again in Batman Vs. Superman.

With the Kent Farm House returning, it’s probably a safe bet Superman’s mom, played by Diane Lane, will be back for Justice League as well.

Perhaps something at the house plays into how Superman comes back to life?

Zack Snyder recently joked in an interview that Kryptonians decay slower or differently than humans. Well, Zod didn’t come back from a broken neck, but Superman is going to be able to return from getting a big whole punched through his heart? Should be interesting to see what happens. Any theories?

“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 Willem Dafoe in an unknown role.

Disney Officially Pulls Inhumans From Release Schedule

Following Kevin Feige letting it be known the Marvel Studios Inhumans movie has been delayed, now Disney has officially pulled Inhumans from its release schedule.

Deadline does point out Inhumans is still supposed to be made at some point. The original release date was July 12, 2019, and no other Marvel movie has seen a delay.

While Kevin Feige previously cited the new Spider-Man: Homecoming and Indiana Jones 5 movies as reason for Inhumans being taken off the schedule, I wouldn’t doubt if Marvel TV and Agents of SHIELD‘s use of the Inhumans had something to do with it.

Marvel Studios and Marvel TV are said to not get along, with Kevin Feige having booted them from involvement in the movies. It’s also been said prior to the breakup, that Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter wanted the Inhumans movie to get made, which would be an obvious tie in to Agents of SHIELD.

We now see Kevin Feige has put the brakes on any sort of connection between the Marvel movies and Marvel TV as – if Inhumans even gets made – it will be at least four or five (or more) years following Agents of SHIELD‘s Inhumans storyline. You can also bet if the Inhumans movie does get made, it won’t have anything to do with what happened in Agents of SHIELD as well.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel Studios scraps the Inhumans movie in its entirety.

Emilia Clarke Won’t Be Back For New Terminator Movies

There will be no more Terminator movies for Emilia Clarke.

Clarke, who played Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys, stated a definite “no” when asked if she would be returning for any more Terminator movies.

“No,” Clarke told Coming Soon. “Can I say that? It’s okay. No. Uh-uh. But I have some very different roles coming up.”

While Terminator: Genisys didn’t do that greatest domestically, it did well enough internationally to give the movie over $440 million worldwide.

About a month or so ago saw Arnold Schwarzenegger seemingly confirm a Terminator 6.

“I am looking forward to it, absolutely,” Schwarzenegger said.

There were plans at one time for a Terminator Universe; however, with Terminator: Genisys not doing as well as hoped, Paramount seems to have put the brakes on anything new. Terminator sequels were pulled from Paramount’s release schedule.
