James Gunn Confirms Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Post-Credit Scene

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24023:]]

With the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel due to start filming any day now, it’s learned a post-credit scene for the movie is already planned out.

James Gunn answered questions on Twitter confirming the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 post-credit scene is written.

A fan asked: “JamesGunn is the post-credit scene already scripted or will you think about it later?”

“Scripted,” Gunn replied.

The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie featured a post-credit scene with Howard The Duck.  Check it out below.

Maybe the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 post-credit scene will be related somehow to Avengers: Infinity War. Or better yet, how about Richard Rider Nova?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a May 5, 2017 release.

Suicide Squad’s Viola Davis Picks Batman in “Dawn of Justice”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24019:]]

A few days ago saw Zack Snyder ask fans to choose their side for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Now Suicide Squad‘s Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) weighs in on the debate and chooses Batman.

“You’re asking a girl. A girls love Batman. They love Batman,” Davis offered to Empire Magazine. “You ask any woman, ‘Batman or Superman?’ It’s always going to be Batman. It’s the mask. It’s the muscles. It’s the car. Come on, it’s the Batmobile. The Batcave! Batman, man. Batman is hot. Superman needs a car. And the tights don’t work for me.”

It probably should be noted Batman does appear in Suicide Squad (probably doesn’t make a difference, though).

Empire also caught up with Jake Gyllenhaal (up to play Batman at one time), Matt Damon and Amy Schumer. See their picks below.

“Batman Vs. Superman” has a March 25, 2016 release; “Suicide Squad” hits August 5th.

Hugh Jackman Offers Update On Wolverine 3 Script (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21498:]]

Hugh Jackman offers an update on the untitled 2017 Wolverine movie in the following video. Worth a mention is that Jackman again states it’s his last Wolverine movie. Following Hugh Jackman seemingly teasing a “Wolverine 4” on social networks, many fans thought Hugh Jackman might not be done just yet, but that now doesn’t seem to be the cast.

Hugh Jackman is also thought to be appearing in next month’s Deadpool movie and maybe even the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse movie.

Here’s the blurb:

HUGH JACKMAN: We have a script. A full script. To tell you, two days ago I got that the full finished—well, it’s not finished, but we’re getting super close—as you can see by the rate of my facial hair. That might give you a good clue that perhaps…yeah, it’s sooner rather than later.

TARON EGERTON: Also, the pecs are expanding as well.

JACKMAN: I have had six meals today already.

JACKMAN: I don’t have a firm date yet. My thing, and I’ve told you and I’ve told everyone, it’s my last one, for me I want it to be perfect, so the moment I know it’s perfect, bang, we’ll go.

Watch: LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who Trailer

For the first time in any LEGO videogame, characters and vehicles from some of the biggest entertainment brands in the universe converge in LEGO Dimensions. In a new short trailer illustrating the game’s crazy, possible mash-ups, Dr. Venkman from Ghostbusters, Doc Brown from Back to the Future, and The Doctor from the long running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, unexpectedly come together.

Fans can play through individual levels based on these popular properties in the game’s main story. Players can also explore one distinct, freeplay Adventure World for each of these entertainment properties with any LEGO Dimensions minifigure belonging to that brand. Each Adventure World provides players access to additional gameplay content and exploration throughout some of the most iconic locations from each brand’s universe.

Ghostbusters fans who want to spookify their LEGO Dimensions experience beyond the Ghostbusters level in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack can add the Ghostbusters Level Pack featuring “A Spook Central Adventure!” a mission-based Ghostbusters level where players must fight Gozer and save New York City. The pack comes with a buildable Peter Venkman LEGO minifigure and Proton Pack, Ecto-1 and Ghost Trap – all playable in the game. Players can replay through the game and other levels to trap ghosts and access more collectibles in their journey to save the LEGO multiverse.

Players who want to head back to the future in an epic LEGO Dimensions adventure, can add the Back to the Future Level Pack which unlocks the exclusive “A Hill Valley Time Travel Adventure” level. The pack comes with a buildable Marty McFly LEGO minifigure, DeLorean Time Machine which can travel through time and access areas, plus a Hoverboard. Players can also expand their LEGO Dimensions gameplay with the Back to the Future Doc Brown Fun Pack, featuring a buildable Doc Brown minifigure and rebuildable Traveling Time Train.

Fans who want more of the Whoniverse beyond the Doctor Who level in the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack can purchase the Doctor Who Level Pack which includes “The Dalek Extermination of Earth,” an additional mission-based Doctor Who level, along with a 12th Doctor LEGO minifigure, TARDIS that can travel across time and space, and K-9 – all playable in the game. Gamers can play as any of the twelve doctors. When the 12th Doctor is defeated in the level, he returns as the 1st Doctor and then regenerates back up to the 12th Doctor again. The interior of the TARDIS will reflect the corresponding Doctor the player embodies or can be manually selected. There’s even a jukebox inside where players can choose among different versions of the Doctor Who theme music. Players can further upgrade their LEGO Dimensions gameplay with the Doctor Who Cyberman Fun Pack, featuring a buildable Cyberman minifigure and rebuildable Dalek.

James Gunn Teases Quasar For Guardians of the Galaxy 2? Probably Not

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24016:]]

Hasbro recently announced a Quasar Hasbro Marvel Legends action figure!

Quasar was recently announced by Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Comics Editor Bill Rosemann to be a part of the Lego Marvel Avengers video game (now available!)!

And now James Gunn may have teased Quasar for Guardians of the Galaxy 2?!

Coincidence?! Wishful thinking?!

Yeah, probably.

Gunn posted something rather odd on his Facebook page when remarking he participated in a table read of the script with the cast. Gunn said “someone spelled out star’s name wrong so I had to correct it for him.” Gunn then posted an image of the “corrected” spelling of Chris Pratt’s name: “QRIS PRAT.”

I’ve already read more than a few comments online by fans suggesting it’s a reference to Quasar, Marvel’s Protector of the Universe and weilder of the Quantum-Bands. Obviously the use of the “Q” may suggest Quasar, as well as maybe the “star” mention, as Quasar has a star symbol on his chest (and the inside of his cape is a star field). However, it seems like a stretch as Gunn has previously said he is only using Star-Lord as the only human (and hence why no Richard Rider Nova).

We can suggest another possibility, as there was a second Quasar who was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book, but we highly doubt Gunn would go there and face the wrath of the rabid Quasar fans. Right, James?!

The good news is that Quasar actually might already be a part of the MCU as his father may have been mentioned in episodes of Agents Of SHIELD; however, we would much rather see Quasar on the big screen. We’re definitely not giving up hope especially considering what Disney CEO Bob Iger said about there being thousands of Marvel characters, and that they are never going to stop making Marvel movies (sounds like Quasar’s odds just went up)!

Check out Gunn’s post:

 

Table read for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was this morning. Oh my gosh, it was the most fun I’ve ever had watching a…

High-Res Look At Batman Vs. Superman Omega Darkseid Reference

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24012:]]

A high-res image of the Batman nightmare Batman vs. Superman sequence from Empire Magazine has made its way online.

May people think the image is a reference to Darkseid as the Omega symbol is featured. In addition, the same sequence features what looks to be Darkseid’s parademons.

There has to be more to the “nightmare” as if Batman had some sort of nightmare out of the blue, why then would it feature two Darkseid references? It’s possible Snyder could be setting up the Justice League movie or Part 2 down the road. Perhaps this is some sort of nightmare alternate (universe?) future?

With the anticipation for Spider-Man climbing, we are excited that IMAX has committed early to this extended release plan – it will be a great way for audiences around the world to experience such a big event film.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24005:]]

A new Conan The Barbarian movie is currently in development, thought to have been titled “Legend Of Conan,” but now Arnold Schwarzenegger has referred to the film with the new title of “Conan The Conqueror.”

While attending a black tie dinner and Q&A event held in Edinburgh, The Arnold Fans reports on what Arnold had to say about the new Conan movie.

“Conan the Conqueror,” Arnold said. “Where I’m sitting on the throne for years and years – decades, and then all of the sudden, the time comes when they want to overthrow me. So that story WILL be told and that movie WILL be done.”

Arnold continues with mention the script is complete.

“Yes,” Arnold confirmed, “as a matter of fact, it has been written and we are now looking for directors so this is a serious drive (now for Conan).”

Arnold also said that he is staying in shape, which will help him when the time comes to film the new Conan.

“So I am absolutely convinced that I can do the Conan movie and do the horseback riding, the sword fights and all the fighting,” Arnold said. “We have a great script and now we need the right director for the job.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger also offered an updated on the sequel to Twins in that the movie is still in development which sees him re-team with Danny DeVito as they discover they have a long lost brother — played by Eddie Murphy.

 

I challenged JJ Watt to do 50 squat reps. He did 51. After dinner. Watch out, quarterbacks. Great to hang out, buddy. Keep doing big things on and off the field. #terminatormode

The latest issue of Empire Magazine has a featured article on Batman Vs. Superman. You can head on over here for a ton of details ranging from Batman’s nightmare sequence, to Doomsday, to Henry Cavill talking Clark Kent and more.

Now producer Charles Roven talks about Batman with Empire Online.

“[Batman] is not giving people a chance,” explained producer Charles Roven. “He is more than a vigilante. He has become not only the cop, if you will, he has also become the jury and executioner. He’s older [and] he’s seen the worst of what man can do. He’s been darkened by it, he’s tougher, he’s angrier, I guess. He’s still lost those that are near and dear to him, and not necessarily from old age or disease.”

Another previous detail also mentioned that Batman’s foes are locked up in Arkham Asylum.

In addition to the Batman image above, the magazine officially released five image stills and 14 scans have hit the net.

“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.

Jack Reynor & Logan Lerman Talk Star Wars Han Solo Spinoff (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:24001:]]

A couple of weeks ago saw the shortlist of actors Disney is eyeing to play the young Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars anthology/spinoff movie hit the net, which included Logan Lerman (Fury) and Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age Of Extinction).

MTV recently caught up with the actors to get their thoughts.

“We’re talking about Harrison Ford. He’s no chump,” Reynor said. “You can’t do an imitation. You can’t try and just emulate what that is. It’s got to be something new. It’s also got to be something that the audience is going to respond to…. would be kind of an incredible gig to get.”

“I don’t think I’d be intimidated,” Lerman offered. “It would just be fun.” And as noted in the video below, Lerman said he’d have no problem being a “dick” to get into character of Han Solo.

The untitled Star Wars Han Solo anthology movie has a May 25, 2018 release.

 

Logan Lerman discusses rumors of him taking on the role of Hans Solo in the next Star Wars movie.

Lots Of New Batman Vs. Superman Details Via Empire Magazine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23997:]]

In addition to the 14 new images, below you can check out details from the latest issue of Empire Magazine that has a featured article and cover on Batman Vs. Superman.

On Batman’s nightmare sequence:

• Takes place in the fictional nation of Kandahar

• Described as “pure Mad Max”

• Scene described as: Batman…shouldering a machine gun, walks unbowed through the blizzard to greet an armoured juggernaut pulling up in a desert compound that’s walled with rusty containers.

No mention of the Darkseid references

On Batman:

• Batman’s voice is digitally altered by the cowl

• Batman’s foes are said to be locked up in Arkham Asylum

On Alfred:

• Described as a butler “when required”

• Will be more “hands-on” in the movie

On Doomsday:

• “To go up against heroes like Batman and Superman, we wanted to introduce one of the DC Universe’s most iconic and powerful villains. He is essentially an unstoppable force. He poses a real threat to the world within the film.” -Zack Snyder

On Lex Luthor:

• “You learn pretty early on that Lex is interested in metahuman existence and that there might be some relationship between that investigation and the appearance of Diana Prince.” -Zack Snyder

On Wonder Woman:

• “It was incredibly organic how Wonder Woman came into the story. The whole concept came of, ‘Let’s not save anything. Let’s try it all.’ Then Wonder Woman’s entrance made us realise we were much closer to the Justice League than we thought. We realised we were one movie away.” – Zack Snyder

• Wonder Woman is over 5000 years old and has long given up her superhero days. Why is that:

“Because she’s seen it all, she has seen what humans can do, so it was very hard for her to come back and fight. They have the same attitude. Although when she is Diana she tries to blend in, she is not too outgoing. I don’t want people to think she is perfect. She can be naughty.” -Gal Gadot

• “Her sexuality is part of her power, but she is also a feminist icon. Gender has been a hot topic, so it is very timely to bring her back. The way we have approached it, especially in the stand alone ovie, that is definitely there. Looking back and doing an origin story – and it is a period piece – see the role of women through history. There is a great source of humour in that now. It is so unbelievable you can’t even fathom it. You are still making a statement, but having some fun with it.” – Deborah Snyder

Henry Cavill On Superman:

• “He’s more used to this gig, doing his best to save as many lives as he can. He is no longer frantic. He’s no longer a wet behind the ears kind of superhero. He doesn’t agree with his form of justice. For this farm boy, who tries to do things the right way, justice at any cost is not something he can come to terms with.” 

Henry Cavill on Clark Kent:

• “…show the world what this Batman dude is doing.”

• “He is the human side of the character, but there is often this idea that Clark and Superman must be so different. He can only get away with wearing the glasses so much. If he’s drawing attention to himself by being clumsy, that’s not going to work.”

Henry Cavill on Superman vs. Batman:

• “It’s not about one on one. Of course Superman is going to win. But it’s deeper than that. It’s nore that these two great powers exist and are actually trying to acheive the same thing, but in such different way…”

• [Superman is] “the guy who can kick anyone’s ass” [but is still] “the nice one.

Amy Adams on Lois Lane:

• “She may have some tunnel vision, but she’s got a job, moral standards. [When] we met her before she would do anything to get the story – now Clark has instilled some faith in humanity in her.” 

• “Although moving in with Clark brings issues. It’s not a normal relationship. How could it be? One of them is an alien.” 

• On potential scenes with Wonder Woman: “I am too busy sleuthing, but she definitely brings another dynamic.”

• Confirms scenes with Batman: “…[requires a lot of] wirework and special effects work” and is “a big moment.”
