Dan Amboyer Confirmed For Batman Vs. Superman & Role Revealed: Green Lantern?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24336:]]

Following rumors, it’s confirmed Dan Amboyer has a role in Batman Vs. Superman.

Pop Sugar spoke with the actor who talked about filming the movie where it’s revealed Dan Abmoyer is playing a character named “Lieutenant Christie.” iMDB also lists Amboyer as playing a “Drone Pilot,” and the latest rumor stated Amboyer is actually Green Lantern (you can read more about that here).

What was the set like?

It was awesome. I got there right at the beginning of shooting and it was crazy because my first day people were showing me around and all of a sudden the Superman suit comes by — and it’s giant. It’s not something you can hang up. So that was insane. But what I thought was really interesting was that they filmed a lot of it on film, not digital. So a lot of the sets were actually built. So, all of a sudden, you’re on another planet, literally. Everything is so intricate and perfect. You think so much of that is just CGI and postproduction, but it was actually there. 

On working with Zack Snyder:

 It was interesting. He was a cool guy. I don’t know if people know this, but he’s really big about fitness on set, even as far as catering. So, he’s always encouraging healthy food, which is great. He even makes you do push-ups in between takes.

On what scenes he filmed:

 Um, I don’t know what I can say that’s not spoilery. So, let’s just say, I filmed good ones.

Amboyer reveals he auditioned for two other DC superheroes:

I auditioned to play Superman in Man of Steel originally and I auditioned for The Flash. I’ve constantly been coming back to these characters.

Confirms other cameos in addition to Wonder Woman and Doomsday:

 It’s hard for me to keep up with what’s officially been announced, but yes, there are some other possibilities.

Aboyer seems to indicate his name in the movie is used for undercover work (which obviously may mean he has a different name):

 Oh, yes. It does appear, but it’s kind of an undercover thing. The name appears on me at one point.

Amboyer is teased about his favorite color being green.

No? Blue. Definitely blue, but I appreciate nature as well and everything green.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

Ghostbusters Reboot Funkos Reveals Baddie & New “Slimer”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24331:]]

Similar to the LEGO line, the Ghostbusters reboot Funko figures give us a potential look at a bad guy in the movie as well as possibly the reboot’s version of their Slimer.

The LEGO set revealed Chris Hemsworth’s character to be seemingly possessed or maybe even as a demon, and the below grey Funko figure may be Hemsworth as well.

The other Funko figure, a ghost, could potentially be friendly with the Ghostbusters, sort of similar to how Slimer became in the originals (and in the cartoon).

Update: Some of our Facebook followers pointed out the “Ghost” may simply be the Ghostbusters logo character, and another offered the grey evil character looks a lot like the librarian ghost from the first movie.

“Ghostbusters” has a July 15, 2016 release directed by Paul Feig starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth, Charles Dance, Michael Kenneth Williams, Neil Casey, and Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver are confirmed to return.

About:

Thirty years after the original film took the world by storm, Ghostbusters is back and fully rebooted for a new generation. Director Paul Feig combines all the paranormal fighting elements that made the original franchise so beloved with a cast of new characters, played by the funniest actors working today. Get ready to watch them save the world this summer!

DC Reveals 2016 Toy Fair Line: Batman Vs. Superman, Suicide Squad & More

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24327:]]

DC COLLECTIBLES ROCKS NEW YORK TOY FAIR WITH FIRST-EVER ACTION FIGURE LINE BASED ON DC FILMS

PREMIUM 6’’ ACTION FIGURES FEATURE CHARACTERS FROM MAN OF STEEL, BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE AND SUICIDE SQUAD

All-New 6’’ Harley Quinn Action Figure Line Based on Art Style of Award-Winning Artist Amanda Conner Set to Debut in 2016

Fan-Favorite Batman: The Animated Series Action Figure Line Brings Iconic Batwing from 1990s TV Series to Life as 36’’ Toy Replica

 

DC Collectibles, the exclusive line of toy and collector items from DC Entertainment (DCE), will showcase its exciting 2016 product line-up at New York Toy Fair including a first-ever 6’’ premium action figure line based on Warner Bros. recent and upcoming DC films including Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. In addition to the film-inspired line, in 2016 DC Collectibles will introduce a wide array of new statues, action figures and collectible items based on DCE’s comic and media properties and feature iconic characters Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, and more.

The new, ongoing DC films action figure line was created specifically with toy collectors in mind, delving deep into character line-ups and offering up to 40+ points of articulation – the most articulation points ever produced by DC Collectibles.

“This is the first time DC Collectibles has made action figures based on DC films, and with this much articulation and attention to detail, we’re not holding anything back,” said Geoff Johns, chief creative officer of DC Entertainment. “Its exciting to see our DC film slate bring to life so many great DC characters, and DC Collectibles is following suit with our action figure line. This line will include everything from Batman to Superman to Wonder Woman, and even the obscure characters that will pop up in the cinematic universe. I can’t wait for fans of our films to get their hands on these figures.”

The first wave of DC films action figures will hit stores in Fall 2016 and will include Zod and Faora from Man of Steel and Armored Batman and Superman from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The first Suicide Squad action figures are set to release in 2017.

DC Collectibles will also debut an all-new Designer Series action figure line dedicated to fan-favorite DC Comics character, Harley Quinn. Taken straight from the pages of DC Comics, the 6.75’’ action figures are inspired by the art style of critically acclaimed artist Amanda Conner, and will feature Connor’s most popular character designs of the Crown Princess of Crime and each will include custom accessories.

“I’m really excited to be a part of this new line from DC Collectibles,” said Harley Quinn artist and co-writer Amanda Conner. “It’s been a fun, wild ride over the past few years, and I’m so happy that Harley’s popularity continues to explode. Seeing my designs, and the many different personalities of Harley Quinn, brought to life as action figures is simultaneously thrilling and humbling (if that’s even possible). This toy line adds a whole new level of whacky, wonderful insanity to the Harley world, and the fans are going to love it!”

DC Collectibles will also expand the bestselling Batman: The Animated Series action figure line based on the award-winning Warner Bros. Animation TV series, producing new action figures as well as a first-ever 36’’ Batwing. The Batman: The Animated Series Batwing marks the second vehicle from the line following last year’s hit Batmobile replica, and will feature light, slide-able door access and room for two 6’’ action figures.

“Our popular Batman: The Animated Series line continues to strike a nostalgic chord with fans and it’s really exciting to see the positive reception,” said Kevin Kiniry, vice president, Creative Services, at DC Entertainment. “We were the first to bring fans the Batman: The Animated Series Batmobile scaled for 6’’ action figures, and we’re very proud to also be the first to bring fans the Batwing at this scale as well.”

Other new products scheduled for 2016 include additions to the highly popular DC Comics Icons action figure line, as well as first-ever corresponding accessory packs for the Icons figures. DC Collectibles will also debut a BlueLine Jim Lee Superman action figure – a follow-up to last year’s hit BlueLine Batman action figure- and will include a sketch from world-renowned artist Jim Lee. Additions to the Greg Capullo and Darwyn Cooke Designer Series action figure lines are also on tap for 2016, as are new statues from the bestselling DC Comics Bombshells series. The toy maker will also debut new Batman: Black & White statues and new additions to the hit DC Super-Pets Plush toy line.

WB Rumored To Be Worried About Batman Vs. Superman & Justice League Movie Universe Future

Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. recently released the final Batman Vs. Superman trailer, which was better received than the last.

Now it’s being said Warner Bros. is worried.

The info comes from HitFix‘s Drew McWeeny who talks about the latest Batman Vs. Superman trailer and the Justice League universe. 

“I do think this is the moment now for Warner to make the case,” McWeeny offered. “Sort of pulling the curtain back a little bit, Warner is a little bit worried. This movie [Batman v Superman] is starting to scare them. And it’s scaring them because they are starting to show it to people now. People are starting to lay eyes on the film and the response has been not exactly what I think they wanted.”

McWeeny goes on to speculate that he thinks Suicide Squad will be a hit; that Wonder Woman will be finished the way they are planning, but McWeeny goes on to say he will be surprised if Justice League starts filming when it’s supposed to, and also that he will be surprised if Zack Snyder directs it.

McWeeny continues with mention that he has talked with enough people close to the studio that his guess is Justice League will get pushed back, and the Ben Affleck Batman standalone movie will take the place of Justice League Part 1 in 2017.

“My guess is they’re gonna throw whatever money it takes at Ben Affleck to make that Batman film happen sooner rather than later,” McWeeny said. “Because they are going to need to rebuild again. They are going to need to win people back over. They are going to need to lay some different ground work. I don’t think this is going to be the springboard for the Justice League they wanted it to be.”

McWeeny also says the two things he hears that are working for WB is that Ben Affleck’s Batman is said to be “very good,” and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor “is great.”

It’s also suggested the reason for the problems surrounding the movie is that it was rushed, as two days prior to the Comic-Con announcement was when they decided to do Batman Vs. Superman. It’s further said the WB Justice League movie universe is suffering from not having someone at the head of it – similar to Marvel’s Kevin Feige – and that if Batman Vs. Superman doesn’t make a billion dollars at the box office to expect a lot of changes following the movie’s release.

McWeeny also goes on to to state to look for promotion to shift toward Ben Affleck and Batman.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter as Senator Finch and Tao Okamoto as Mercy Graves. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Synopsis:

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

Watch: Ryan Reynolds Rates Green Lantern Movie On “Watch What Happens Live”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24310:]]

Check out what Ryan Reynolds had to say about the Green Lantern movie while appearing on Watch What Happens Live to promote the Deadpool movie.

Reynolds starred in the GL movie back in 2011, which didn’t do all that well in the box office.

“I would give it a scant, four, maybe. Three or four. It didn’t work. A one! It’s a one!” Reynolds said.

There are also a couple Green Lantern references in DP,  and also check out a funny Green Lantern recap video.

Deadpool is now in theaters.

Deadpool Owns Fifty Shades of Grey; Best February Preview Opening Ever

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24309:]]

How do you like those chimichangas?!

Last night saw the Deadpool movie open with Thursday night advanced screenings, and now it’s learned the film did exceptionally well — so much so that Deadpool now has the best February preview opening ever, beating out the likes of Fifty Shades of Grey (we need a Deadpool meme for that!).

Amazon’s Box Office Mojo reports Deadpool netted $12.7 million to Fifty Shades of Grey‘s $8.6 million last year. 

Deadpool is currently topping the opening weekend box office surpassing How To Be Single and Zoolander 2.

It’s even possible Deadpool may be able to nab the best February opening ever, but it might be tough as Fifty Shades of Grey holds the record with $85.1 million ($93 million when the four-day President’s Day weekend is accounted for).

Deadpool also looks to make the top R-Rated movie list, but again, it’s unclear whether or not Deadpool will be able to set the record achieved by Matrix Reloaded with $91.7 million.

“Deadpool” has a February 12, 2016 release directed by Tim Miller starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, TJ Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax.

Synopsis:

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Petition Launches For Richard Rider Nova For Avengers: Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24304:]]

It is critical that you pay attention at this time!

Richard Rider Nova fans have launched a petition requesting the inclusion of fan-favorite Marvel Comics character Richard Rider Nova in The Avengers: Infinity War movies.

You can sign the petition here.

The Richard Rider Nova character has a long and storied history in the comic book world beginning in 1976 with the publication of “The Man Called Nova.” Richard Rider Nova was an important part of the original “Infinity War” comic book event and was prominently featured in the story and on the cover art. We are writing to ask that you include Richard Rider Nova in the Infinity War movie as part of the large cast of characters who will be participating in the war to stop Thanos.

Nova was a sister title to Abnett and Lanning’s Guardians of the Galaxy title that inspired the billion dollar Guardians of the Galaxy James Gunn Marvel Studios and Disney franchise. Though Nova didn’t happen to appear in the movie, his Guardians of the Galaxy movie action figure was the best-selling figure of the line, and Nova was even voted into the Marvel Heroes video game by the fans. Yep! You can’t keep a good man down!

For fans of the character, a likely added benefit of Richard Rider Nova appearing in the movie will be his return to the comic book world.  After all, the mere appearance of a character in a movie or TV show has worked for everyone from Howard the Duck to Hellcat.  The upcoming Captain America: Civil War movie has even brought Steve Rogers back to the Captain America role, and more than likely Thor’s return will be imminent as soon as Ragnarok gets closer to its release. So, if you want Rider back, this is likely the best shot for it to happen in the near future. Take a minute to add your name to the petition.  When the goal is reached, it will be sent to Kevin Feige and the Russo brothers.

Nova was even in early scripts of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so there is that to build upon.  Check out some cool concept art:
