Henry Cavill’s Superman May Show Up In Wonder Woman Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24621:]]

While we know Ben Affleck’s Batman will be next appearing in Suicide Squad following Batman Vs. Superman, what about Henry Cavill’s Superman?

It’s possible we may see the Man of Steel appear in the Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movie.

Henry Cavill spoke with the Brazilian magazine Superinteressante where he offered he might appear in Wonder Woman, and Cavill also let it be known his Superman won’t be appearing in Suicide Squad.

What can I say?… Not in Suicide Squad. In Wonder Woman I haven’t heard anything yet, but watch that space. And in anything else, I don’t know just yet if anything else gets shot between.

Wonder Woman has a June 23, 2017 release directed by Patty Jenkins starring Chris Pine Robin Wright, Danny Huston, David Thewlis , Ewen Bremner, Saïd Taghmaoui, Elena Anaya, Lucy Davis and Connie Nielsen.

Spider-Man: The First Avenger Video Game Rumored

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24620:]]

A new Spider-Man video game from Activision is rumored to be coming out.

According to a notable gaming leaker, Activision has plans for Spider-Man: The First Avenger, which is said to tie into the new Tom Holland movie as well as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Activision previously put out Spider-Man games for the Andrew Garfield films, so a new Tom Holland Spider-Man video game woudn’t be out of the question.

What’s rather interesting is that the Spider-Man: The First Avenger game would tie into the MCU, which doesn’t really have many console games out there. The last console games associated with Marvel movies were the poorly received Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America: Super Soldier games.

The title for the new game, Spider-Man: The First Avenger, may also give credence to the rumored title of the new stadalone Tom Holland movie with “Spider-Man: The New Avenger.”

Tom Holland debuts as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War; the standalone Spider-Man reboot has a July 7, 2017 release.

Ice Cube Rumored For J. Jonah Jameson In Spider-Man Reboot

With Marvel and Sony rebooting Spider-Man, it’s now being rumored that Ice Cube is up to play J. Jonah Jameson.

The rumor comes from All Hip Hop, where it’s noted Ice Cube tweeted out it’s news to him.

Fan-favorite actor J.K. Simmons portrayed J. Jonah Jameson in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies and recently said he would be open to returning as the character.

Spider-Man gets rebooted with Tom Holland in May’s Captain America: Civil War. With the standalone Spider-Man movie due out in the Summer of 2017, Marvel and Sony are certainly coming up with a list of actors for the various roles. Is Ice Cube amongst them? Time will tell, but Marisa Tomei is said to be playing a new contemporary version of Aunt May. As we’ve seen recently with Michael B. Jordan cast as the Human Torch, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, it wouldn’t be unheard of to have a black actor cast in what has been normally considered a white role.

Ice Cube recently completed filming on Barbershop: The Next Cut and is rumored to return for xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage.

Batman Vs. Superman R-Rated Details From Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck & Charles Roven

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24608:]]

Below you can check out details on the R-Rated home release of Batman Vs. Superman from director Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck and producer Charles Roven.

EW.com provided the following:

• Currently unknown how long the director’s cut will be (theatrical version is 2h 31m).

• R-rated theatrical releases for DC movies is said to be unlikely.

• Jena Malone is not Batgirl or Robin.

• Suicide Squad will be rated PG-13.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24606:]]

Ben Affleck:

“I’m a parent of young kids, and I feel like I wouldn’t want to have a Batman v Superman that I couldn’t show to my younger kids,” the actor says. “But on the same token, as an adult, I like to see movies that are R-rated. I think nowadays because we have so many means of distribution and ways that we can do different things, it’s the creative solution to a creative challenge.”

Ben Affleck on PG-13 Version:

“You can have multiple versions and I can show my son and my daughters this movie and feel confident that the stuff isn’t too crazy, and then grownups can see larger version, [which is like] the red-band trailer. They can see the more adult version of that movie.”

Ben Affleck on R-rating:

“These movies have definitely evolved from being comic books for children aimed at kids. Now they’re the most mainstream movies made, the most successful, the most widely viewed movies these days,” he says. “Clearly there’s a big enough audience. I think it’s cool. Why not have an R-rated version that you release for download or on DVD later? I think that’s smart.”

Zack Snyder:

“We were just like, ‘Okay, look. We’re not making a three-hour movie. I mean, even I didn’t want to make a three-hour movie,” Snyder says. “I drove the cuts probably harder than anyone. The studio, they were willing to let the movie indulge pretty hard. But I felt like it’s at a manageable two-and-a-half hours. Let’s also not forget the credits are super long, the end credits. So the movie’s closer to two hours and 22 minutes.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24605:]]

Zack Snyder on Jena Malone, who was cut from the theatrical version, but will be featured in the director’s cut:

“I think we should keep it private, but it’s nothing that’s been talked about,” Snyder says. “She’s definitely not Robin or Batgirl. I’m happy to say that.”

Zack Snyder says other new characters are in the director’s cut:

“There’s a couple, like, Ahman Green, the running back from the Green Bay Packers, he’s in it. And C.T. Fletcher is like this bodybuilder muscle-guru from Compton, this awesome guy. He’s amazing, and he’s in it,” Snyder says. “And then there’s just a lot of these Easter Eggs in the Director’s Cut that I think are gonna be fun for everyone.”

Snyder says something big is in the director’s cut teasing Justice League:

“There’s one giant one that I won’t tell you about yet that speaks to what’s gonna go on in the greater Justice League universe,” he says.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24604:]]

Producer Charles Roven on R-Rating:

“There’s not a lot of blood in our movies,” he says. “The ratings board also judges their PG-13 and R ratings by what they consider to be a level of intensity and how much that intensity goes throughout the entire movie. There are some pretty intense scenes inBatman v Superman, and if they went on longer and had that same level of intensity, that might cause the ratings board to shift their rating.”

Charles Roven confirms PG-13 rating for Suicide Squad:

“I think right now we’re going for the PG-13. I don’t know that that’s going to materially change,” he said. “We can give that movie the edge that it needs and still maintain a PG-13.”

Venom Movie In The Works Unrelated To Marvel & Tom Holland Spider-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24603:]]

It still sounds like Sony hasn’t learned anything from the Amazing Spider-Man movies.

THR is reporting Sony is developing a new Venom movie which is: “being envisioned as a franchise apart from and unrelated to the upcoming Spider-Man movie in the works with actor Tom Holland.”

It’s noted long-time Spider-Man producer Avi Arad is behind the new Venom movie along with Amazing Spider-Man producer Matt Tomalch. Edge of Tomorrow writer Dante Harper is writing the Venom script.

Avi Arad was previously blamed for the failure and problems associated with the Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man films, and it was said when Marvel got the property back, they wanted nothing to do with Arad. According to previous reports, both Avi Arad and Matt Tomalch have been “downgraded” as executive producers on the new Tom Holland Spider-Man, with it said they will have “no real say in the creative direction of the franchise.”

Now it appears as they can no longer do anything with Spider-Man, the pair have set their sites set on the next best thing with Venom.

THR’s report makes mention it’s unclear what version of Venom they are going with: The classic Venom that is a monstrous alien symbiote or the version in the comics that is more of an anti-hero attached to Peter Parker’s buddy Flash Thompson.

It’s further said: “This Venom is meant to not only stand on its own but to also launch its own franchise.”

Batman Vs. Superman Spoilers: Fight, Flash Cameo, Wonder Woman Vs. Doomsday, Darkseid & Robin

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24600:]]

EW.com‘s coverage of Batman vs. Superman offers up some spoilery teasers regarding the Batman vs. Superman fight, The Flash’s cameo, Wonder Woman battling Doomsday, the potential Robin, and even Darkseid.

Check them out:

Zack Snyder offers a partial description of the Batman Vs. Superman fight:

The director becomes animated as he reenacts their big knock-down, drag-out battle. “Superman doesn’t have to be as much of a chess player as Batman,” says Snyder. Superman has might on his side, but before the fists start flying, we see an armored Batman placing various traps in an abandoned stockyard, then walking along and driving a Kryptonite spear into the ground. “He paces it off,” Snyder says. “Then when he throws Superman, the spear is right there. So you’re like, wait a minute, did he [plan] every bit? He know every move?”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24599:]]

The Flash cameo is revealed, which also hints that the Batman nightmare sequence with Darkseid might be real (as in possibly happening in the future or another timeline):

The film is laced with dream sequences for both Batman and Superman that hint at dangers to come – including the possible appearance of DC’s galactic ultra-villain Darkseid. The Flash (played by Miller) appears in one such nightmare of Bruce Wayne’s, delivering a cryptic message to the Dark Knight.

Fans will have to debate whether it was really a dream, or maybe the kinetic hero breaking through time-space to deliver a warning. Synder calls this “a giant Easter egg” that he hopes will spawn plenty of online theories. “We had such a straightforward narrative, on one hand, I wanted this other layer of the movie to be complicated and bizarre,” he says.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24598:]]

Geoff Johns talks what he likes about Wonder Woman battling Doomsday:

When she finally wields a sword and her golden lasso later in the film, Wonder Woman shows she not only deals out punishment – she can take it, even after lying low for many decades. (Maybe that’s an accidental metaphor, now that she’s finally being pulled off the shelf and put onscreen.)

Johns points to her climactic battle with Doomsday, a Kryptonian Frankenstein-monster created by Luthor from the remains of Michael Shannon’s General Zod, as one of his favorite character moments. “I love her in the movie. I love when she’s hit by Doomsday and she turns around and smiles, like she hasn’t been in a fight like this in a long, long time,” he says. “She clearly… she missed it.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24597:]]

And the Robin suit in the Batcave:

The trailer features a Robin uniform, covered with Joker graffiti, which implies the Boy Wonder has been killed in a previous story. He’s starting to wonder if he ever really saved anyone – or just made things worse. “He’s projecting his own sense of failure, his own sense of disillusionment, his own cynicism onto Superman,” Affleck says.

But the Robin suit is another example of groundwork BvS is laying for other movies. “We’ll be exploring that,” says Johns, who has consulted on the full slate. “No one says specifically the name ofwhich Robin that is.”

Jena Malone Cut From Batman Vs. Superman; Will Be In R-Rated Director’s Cut

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24596:]]

Update: Zack Snyder confirms Jena Malone is not Batgirl or Robin.

It’s learned Jena Malone has been cut from Batman Vs. Superman.

While Malone’s role is currently unknown – some fans think either Batgirl or the female version of Robin – EW.com reports that Jena Malone will be featured in the R-rated director’s cut of Batman Vs. Superman in addition to new characters.

If BvS sounds crowded, it actually got smaller as time went on. The PG-13 movie’s 2 hour 31 minute runtime will expand further with an R-rated “Ultimate Edition” on home video, featuring even more brutal fight scenes as well as additional hints at future films. There’ll also be some new characters, including a secret one played by Jena Malone, who was cut from the theatrical release.

A reason cited as to why Malone and possibly other characters were cut is because they want each character to feel distinct and strong.

“It’s all world-building as much as it is character-building,” he says. “Batman isn’t just a character. He’s a character within Gotham City, with all the iconography behind him and the emotional underpinning of Bruce Wayne and the fight for justice, which is a pretty dark fight when it comes to Batman. And then you have Superman, on the other hand, who has a very different world he lives in and a very different way he operates and in a very different methodology to how he protects people and why he does it. He doesn’t wear a mask. He really wants to be accepted because, quite honestly, I think as a kid he never felt accepted. He never felt like he was one of us.”

With that contrasting psychological dynamic, now try adding four more heroes to the mix. It’s not possible. Not all at once. Not if you want the characters to have any depth. That’s why the theatrical release focuses squarely on the two title heroes, with a secondary motive to leave fans wanting more of the newcomers.

While it might be disappointing we’re not going to see Jena Malone as Barbara Gordon or Carrie Kelley (or another character), the R-Rated Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition is sounding better and better.

Green Lantern also won’t be featured in Batman Vs. Superman.

No Green Lantern For Batman Vs. Superman Or Justice League Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24595:]]

Contrary to the so-called Batman Vs. Superman advanced screenings, now it’s reported Green Lantern is not in “The Dawn of Justice.”

In EW‘s latest coverage of the movie, it’s noted Green Lantern “is not referenced ” in Batman Vs. Superman.

Futhermore, it’s suggested Green Lantern may not return to the big screen for a while.

“[Green Lantern] is an incredible character. He’s actually multiple incredible characters,” said Greg Silverman, the president of creative development and worldwide production at Warner Bros. “There’s real opportunity there. We didn’t do a great job on that first Green Lantern movie. This is a character who deserves to be treated in the same way that Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman are being treated now, which is with great reverence. I guess I can say to the Green Lantern fans: if they can be patient with us, I think they’ll be really happy.”

So how long will Green Lantern fans have to wait? Possibly until 2019 or after.

“Every beat of the movie is not yet worked out,” producer Charles Roven offered. “So there’s the possibility that he may or may not be in Justice League 2. For now, we felt that we were introducing enough characters that the best possible place we could put Green Lantern is some introduction in Justice League 2, or barring that, a movie after.”

WB currently has the Green Lantern Corps movie set for 2020 following the 2019 release of Justice League – Part 2; so we may have to wait until the standalone GLC movie.

It was previously rumored that Dan Amboyer was playing Hal Jordan.

Frank Miller Reveals Why Darren Aronofsky Batman Never Got Made

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24592:]]

Prior to Christopher Nolan launching Batman Begins in 2005, Frank Miller collaborted with Darren Aronofsky for a different Batman movie.

The project got so far as concept art and a script was created, but Miller reveals why WB put a stop to it — citing it was too dark and not what they had in mind (via THR):

It was the first time I worked on a Batman project with somebody whose vision of Batman was darker than mine. My Batman was too nice for him. We would argue about it, and I’d say, “Batman wouldn’t do that, he wouldn’t torture anybody,” and so on. We hashed out a screenplay, and we were wonderfully compensated, but then Warner Bros. read it and said, “We don’t want to make this movie.” The executive wanted to do a Batman he could take his kids to. And this wasn’t that. It didn’t have the toys in it. The Batmobile was just a tricked-out car. And Batman turned his back on his fortune to live a street life so he could know what people were going through. He built his own Batcave in an abandoned part of the subway. And he created Batman out of whole cloth to fight crime and a corrupt police force.

The article also suggested that Miller turn the project into a graphic novel, in which Miller doesn’t think that is a bad idea.

Maybe I will.

First Look At New Power Rangers Team

Check out a first look at the new Power Rangers above.

Making up the team: Becky G as Trini, the Yellow Ranger; RJ Cyler as Billy, the Blue Ranger; Naomi Scott as Kimberly, the Pink Ranger; Ludi Lin as Zack, the Black Ranger, and Dacre Montgomery as Jason, the Red Ranger.

“From the very beginning, diversity was a very important part of the whole process,” director Dean Israelite told EW. “We switched all of the races around, but we made sure that the essence of each of those characters are who they were in the original show, and this really will be an origin story of those characters.

“We’ve really pushed ourselves to make them feel different from any other superhero costume that’s out there,” Israelite said. “One key that’s different to the Power Ranger suits is that they’re not really suits that people get into. They’re suits that morph onto our kids, so they already have this almost metaphysical quality to them.”

Elizabeth Banks is playing the villain, Rita Repulsa.

“It’s very exciting that we got [Banks], and I think what she loves is the opportunity to really embrace the insanity and deliciousness of Rita Repulsa in terms of how weird and wonderful that character was, and really dive into and consume that character,” Israelite said. “You should always be off-balance when you’re watching her. Is she insane? Is she totally calculated? Does she know what she’s doing? Elizabeth can toe that line really well.”

Power Rangers has a March 24, 2017 release.

Synopsis:

Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.

The actors themselves previously confirmed appearances in Batman Vs. Superman, and now it’s again confirmed the Ezra Miller Flash and Ray Fisher Cyborg will be featured in the movie, leading into the Justice League film.

Entertainment Weekly reports: “Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman, and she has a major supporing role in this movie, but there are other characters like Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg who turn up in kind of smaller roles — more cameo-oriented. Now that was done as a way of setting up the fact that all of these characters exist in one shared universe.”

Batman Vs. Superman Tracking For Big Opening At Box Office

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24582:]]

What should probably come as no surprise, the opening weekend for Batman Vs. Superman is tracking pretty big amongst insiders.

THR reports Batman vs. Superman is tracking as high as a $140 million opening weekend – if not more – with low-end estimates stating around $110 million.

Man of Steel opened with $116.6 million back in 2013; The Dark Knight netted $158 million in 2008; TDRK $160m.

The current best opener in the month of March is The Hunger Games with $152.5 million.

Marvel’s The Avengers opened with a $207 million weekend back in 2012; Age Of Ultron had $191.2M.

More than likely, once Batman Vs. Superman debuts on Thursday and Friday, word-of-mouth will affect how well the movie continues to do. If audiences rave about it, it’s possible Batman Vs. Superman could do as well as the Deadpool opener or better ($132.4 million over the three-day Presidents Day weekend; Deadpool’s four-day haul was $152.2 million).

Another bonus for the movie is that it lands during the Holiday break, so kids are off of school, which could give the box office numbers a bump.

Batman vs. Superman could potentially make $300-$350 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

Ben Affleck Never Tweaked Batman Vs. Superman Script

Batman Vs. Superman Fight Scene Clip

Batman Vs. Superman seems to be the movie that the haters love to hate.

Earlier there were reports stating WB execs were worried about the movie and considering replacing the Justice League movie with a standalone Batman movie, which turned out to be nothing but a bunch of baloney.

Then someone created a Twitter smear campaign against the movie, which has since been exposed.

There was even a report that Ben Affleck wasn’t happy with the script and changed it – get this – while on the set of Batman Vs. Superman in costume.

However, it turns out all to be nothing more than a Marvel fanboy’s fabrication.

Ben Affleck spoke with the French magazine Premiere and offered none of the Chris Terrio script has been altered (you can also check out some images of Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot from the magazine below).

Here’s the blurb (translated via Bing):

This script is awesome, there was not a line change in the dialogues. And I can tell you that it is rare.

Green Goblin Marvel Heroes 2016 Trailer; Beast & Archangel Join Game

GREEN GOBLIN Glides Near as BEAST Roars Into Advance Pack 3

With updates like playable Green Goblin, Beast joining the last days of the Advance Pack 3, an Archangel Team-Up and more, there’s a lot to look forward to in Marvel Heroes 2016…

Green Goblin Glides Near
You might be wondering why Gazillion selected Green Goblin – one of Marvel’s most notorious Super Villains – as the 56th playable character in a game called Marvel Heroes 2016. Longtime players know the story-based reason: During the events of AXIS, Captain America needed all the help he could get against the unyielding power of Red Onslaught, so he enlisted the aid of Green Goblin and the Thunderbolts – Super Villains forced against their wills to use their power for good. But we prefer the practical reason: HE’S SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY!!!

Norman Osborn swoops in on his Goblin Glider to terrorize enemies with Pumpkin Bombs, Razor Bats, and other iconic weaponry, all accompanied by a fiendishly maniacal vocal performance by Travis Willingham. He’ll be available in-game this Friday, March 4, and players can pre-order his Hero Pack for 10% off the regular price of $17.99 – including an alternate costume and other goodies – at http://store.marvelheroes.com.

And there’s still one other way to pre-order him…

Beast Joins the Advance Pack 3, on Sale Until Friday, March 4

Since January, the Advance Pack 3 has offered players a huge discount on all seven character releases for the coming year: Green Goblin, Elektra, Angela, Nick Fury, Black Bolt, Ultron, and one to be named later. We’re happy to reveal, the final slot goes to the most intelligent and agile of the original X-Men – Beast! Now an invaluable member of the Uncanny Inhumans in the comics, our blue-furred, philosophically focused friend rounds out what may be the most diverse cast of Advance Pack playable characters ever assembled. You’ll have to act quickly, though – oh, my stars and garters, the Advance Pack 3 leaves the Store this Friday!

And speaking of original X-Men…

Team Up With Archangel!
Along with Beast, Warren Worthington III was one of Professor Xavier’s first five recruits to his School for Gifted Youngsters in THE X-MEN #1. They’ve both gone through considerable changes – though rogue experimentation resulted in blue fur for Beast, a run-in with Apocalypse destined Warren to go from the optimistic Angel to the metal-winged, rough-edged Archangel. Voiced by Liam O’Brien and with a look inspired by his appearance in Craig Kyle and Chris Yost’s classic 2008 X-FORCE run, Archangel fights by your side starting this Friday.

And Some Other Quick Notes…
Emma Frost and Ghost Rider are both having their power sets improved in the near future.
Have you played as Deadpool yet?
Stay tuned for Daredevil news…

Watch: Christian Bale Talks Batman & Heath Ledger’s Joker

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24580:]]

Yesterday saw Christian Bale back up Morgan Freeman’s sentiments that Batman Vs. Superman will not be able to beat The Dark Knight Trilogy, and now Yahoo caught up with Bale to talk about Batman in which Bale offered he wish he had been able to do more with the character.

“I didn’t quite manage what I hoped I would throughout the trilogy,” Bale said, noting Batman had a monstrous side. “Chris did, but my own sense of self is like, ‘I didn’t quite nail it.’”

Bale continued with mention that when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker, it overshadowed everything, and rightfully so.

“Heath turned up, and just kind of completely ruined all my plans,” Bale said. ‘Because I went, ‘He’s so much more interesting than me and what I’m doing.’“

Bale also offered he was done with Batman. Check out the video:

Batman Vs. Superman Spoilers Includes Lex Luthor, Doomsday & Wonder Woman

Batman Vs. Superman “Here I Am Spot”

Check out the Batman Vs. Superman covers for the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. In addition, EW.com offered the following:

Ben Affleck on Batman:

“He’s projecting his own sense of failure, his own sense of disillusionment, his own cynicism onto Superman,”

Henry Cavill on Superman:

“[Superman’s] weakness is that he doesn’t want to hurt anyone,” says Cavill. “He doesn’t want to scare anyone, and in that you can take advantage of him. This is someone who is a complete amateur, and he’s facing up against someone who is very well versed in the arts of war.”

Lex Luthor and Doomsday spoiler:

Luthor not only [slight spoiler alert] orchestrates a mass murder aimed at turning the two heavy hitters against each other but also uses some Kryptonian relics left behind from the Man of Steel aftermath to cook up a cosmic mutant Frankenstein— Doomsday, partially built from the remains of Michael Shannon’s General Zod.

Wonder Woman and Bruce Wayne spoiler:

Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) has a major supporting role, with her alter ego, Diana Prince, running afoul of Bruce Wayne as they engage in rival missions to steal some of Luthor’s most disconcerting secrets. Even before she brandishes a sword and her golden lasso, Wonder Woman’s secret identity is pretty badass.
