From the Ant-Man movie (“we got guys who climb up walls”) and interviews with Kevin Feige and the Russo brothers, it’s already known that the Tom Holland Spider-Man will be established in the MCU (no more origin stories).
Now the website Geek.com is possibly providing further details.
According to a source in the know, Peter Parker decides to fight crime as Spider-Man because he is a big fan and idolizes Tony Stark/ Iron Man. It’s said Captain America: Civil War takes place ten years or so after the first Iron Man movie, so Peter would have been 5 years old when he first saw the news broadcasts about Iron Man.
It’s further said Tony Stark has been keeping tabs on “a certain young genius and his superhuman abilities” and goes to Peter Parker to recruit him with an offer of an “advanced Spider-suit to fight in,” which is an upgrade from whatever the 15-year-old Peter Parker has been wearing. Obviously as Peter is such a big fan, he is completely in awe of Tony Stark showing up at his door and accepts the offer.
We can even speculate that further evidence to support the theory/rumor comes from the viral marketing surrounding Ant-Man as the [fictional] WHiH news reports mentioned Tony Stark setting up scholarships for “promising students” in urban schools (i.e. Peter Parker).

About Batman: Bad Blood …
The mysterious disappearance of Batman (voice of Jason O’Mara), coupled with the emergence of powerful and malevolent new villains in Gotham City, force Nightwing (Maher) and Robin (Stuart Allan) to take crime-fighting into their own hands – while simultaneously searching for their missing leader. They’re not alone for long. New super heroes Batwoman (Strahovski) and Batwing (Gaius Charles) – each armed with her/his own sensibilities, physical abilities and crime-fighting tools – arrive in Gotham to assist in the cause. As this new “family” strives to find its own dynamic, chilling clues lead the group to suspect the Dark Knight may have gone over to the dark side. It’s up to the entire Bat team to uncover the truth before Gotham City falls prey to its greatest threat yet.
Produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, Batman: Bad Blood will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital HD starting January 19 and on Blu-ray & DVD on February 2, 2016.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE – THE SOUNDTRACK
FEATURES COLLABORATION BETWEEN HANS ZIMMER & JUNKIE XL
AVAILABLE ON CD, DELUXE 2 CD SET, LIMITED EDITION 3 DISC VINYL DELUXE AND DIGITAL FORMATS
SOUNDTRACK RELEASES MARCH 18
WaterTower Music announced today the March 18 release of the soundtrack to the upcoming feature film “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” a collaborative effort by film composers Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg). Available digitally, on CD, 2-disc deluxe CD, and on Limited Edition 3-disc deluxe vinyl, the first public sample of the music has been made available, and the album is now available for preorder. The 2-CD deluxe package, the digital deluxe version, and the 3-disc deluxe vinyl set feature over 90 minutes of music, five bonus tracks, an exclusive fold-out poster and liner notes from the composers. Additionally, the vinyl set features etched vinyl art and an album download card.
“Junkie XL is an incredibly insightful film composer. It was a perfect idea for us to work together on the ‘Batman v Superman’ score,” explained Academy-Award-winning composer Zimmer. Grammy nominee Junkie XL showed equal excitement at the pairing, saying, “Hans has an incredible legacy, and I was extremely thrilled when he approached me to work on ‘Batman v Superman’ with him.”
The composers discussed their close working relationship with director Zack Snyder. “Zack allows us to try things we haven’t tried before. He’s very supportive of the eccentricities that we bring to this,” says Zimmer. Junkie XL concurred. “He’s very open and accepting of our ideas, and infuses the creative process with an energy that inspires you.”
“Hans and Tom (Junkie XL) created an incredibly compelling and interesting new musical world for Batman, while continuing to expand on the amazing world and themes Hans had previously created for Superman,” noted director Zack Snyder. “By aligning their vision with my perspective and seeing the characters anew through the lens of the film they were able to support the visual aspects of movie in a way that elevates the film to another level. In so many ways, they become the final texture, the final note in the process of creating the world.”
“This electrifying collaboration brings us such brilliant new character themes,” commented WaterTower Music head Jason Linn, “While we’ve been fortunate to work several times with both composers individually, this experience has been uniquely thrilling.”
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be released March 18. It is now available for pre-order at iTunes. The Deluxe CD and Deluxe Vinyl versions will soon be available for preorder.

Check out the poster and trailer for J.J. Abrams secret project, 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Abrams kept it under wraps until the trailer was revealed in front of Michael Bay’s 13 Hours in movie theaters.
As the name suggests, it does seem to be related to the 2008 monster movie, but it’s been said 10 Cloverfield Lane is more of a cousin.
“The idea came up a long time ago during production,” Abrams told Collider (via Slash Film). “We wanted to make it a blood relative of Cloverfield. The idea was developed over time. We wanted to hold back the title for as long as possible.”
10 Cloverfield Lane is being directed by Dan Trachtenberg with the script by Josh Campbell, Matt Steucken and Damien Chazelle.
According to the films IMDb listing, the movie stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr.
The description at IMDb also reads: Waking up from a car accident, a young woman finds herself in the basement of a man who says he’s saved her life from a chemical attack that has left the outside uninhabitable.
And we do see the poster states: “Monsters come in many forms.”
At the Golden Globes, Ridley Scott lets it be known he wants Alien: Covenant to have a hard R-rating.
In a Q&A with the press (see video below), following winning two awards for The Martian, Scott is asked how he feels about the horror and science-fiction fans looking forward to his movies.
“That’s why I’m doing it, dude. I think I am going to do pretty hard R,” Scott said.
The director the went on to recall editing Alien – realizing just how much horror was in the movie, especially with the chestbuster scene – and offers he wants to do something “much worse” for Alien: Coventant.
“I always remember walking down the edge in Saint Louis when we were previewing [Alien],” Scott recalls. “I couldn’t sit through the film one more time. I walked down the edge into the kitchen scene when John Hurt started to bring up his breakfast. That moment, I realized how pretty scary the film was… I felt a sense of responsibility that I had gone too far because it was extreme. I’m going to try and do that again this year, but much worse.”
Scott also previously offered the film with have “all the Aliens.”
Alien: Covenant has an October 6, 2017 release starring Michael Fassbender.
Syopsis:
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
While promoting his latest movie with the Toronto Sun, The Finest Hours, Chris Pine also talked about Wonder Woman in which he plays Captain Steve Trevor.
“Steve Trevor is a rogue-ish, cynical realist who’s seen the awful brutish nature of modern civilization,” Pine said. “He’s a worldly guy, a charming guy and it’s going to be a great, fun film. There are some incredibly deep, interesting and morally relevant themes.”
Pine also confirmed Wonder Woman is set in World War I.
“Patty is just directing the daylights out of it. It’s shot beautifully feels so wonderfully period, but also has this wonderful pop sensibility. It’s a period we don’t see often; it’s usually World War II. Our costume design is incredible. We have scenes with, like, 500 extras all in period dress. I’d never been on a film with extras casting as beautifully done as it is here. It highlights a really important point. When background casting is done well, it can make or break a scene. I’ve got people in deep background that have entire lives. It’s awesome, it’s actual make-believe land.”
Wonder Woman has a June 23, 2017 release date starring Gal Gadot; The Finest Hours hits January 29th.
Hopes of besting James Cameron’s Avatar seem to be about as dead as Han Solo as Chinese audiences aren’t as receptive to Star Wars: The Force Awakens as their Western counterparts.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens has just about crushed every box office record there is, which led to speculation the J.J. Abrams-directed film might pass Cameron’s mammoth $2.78 billion worldwide gross from 2009’s Avatar.
However, that is not going to happen as Star Wars: The Force Awakens is “falling faster than expected in China.”
Now it’s even questioned if Star Wars will surpass Titanic ($2.18 billion).
Forbes notes in China, Star Wars is peforming ($150 million) less than: Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($165m), Avatar ($209m), Jurassic World ($228m), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($240m), Transformers: Age of Extinction ($320m), and Furious 7 ($390m).
While Disney did market the movie in China, the article notes that the movie may be considered a “rip off” by the Chinese as they are new to Star Wars and have seen similar movies like it in the past 35 years.
China Film Insider even reports younger audiences found Star Wars: The Force Awakens boring, and the movie has failed to be a hit with the younger generation.
“Perhaps what should be most disconcerting to Disney are reports that younger moviegoers in third- and fourth-tier cities, the demographic fueling China’s booming box office and the target of Disney’s marketing bonanza—the foundation for its future success in the country—were confused by the plot and even heard snoring during screenings,” the site reports.
Chinese social networks are also responding negatively to Star Wars: The Force Awakens:
“If a science fiction film lacks imagination then what makes it different from a soap opera? The story was completely in service to fans of the original trilogy and it only relied on razzle-dazzle effects. The most laughable element is that all the force in the galaxy could belong to one family. Creating nostalgia while introducing a new conceptual story doesn’t have to conflict.”

Merchoid’s community manager, Jessica Adams, had the following to say “There’s been lots of talk online and people have been really excited that this could be what reveals the new look Spider-man. However, Marvel is doing a fantastic job of keeping the new Spider-man costume under wraps, so we haven’t yet seen it! What we can say is this hoodie was designed in partnership with Marvel, who provided all the design elements from their 2016 merchandise range, including the ‘messy’ webbing which we haven’t yet seen in any prior Spider-man costume. We’re really excited to see what Spider-man fans think! If this is the first look at the new costume, are you happy with the new direction?”
Jessica continues “Whether or not this is based on the new Spider-man costume, the reaction so far has been incredible.

Valentine’s Day posters were recently released to promote the Deadpool movie, which made the film out to be more of a love story than anything starring the Merc With The Mouth.
Now the fans have responded to the marketing as one fan put together the above “Deadpool Romantic” trailer.
Fans also used the posters to convince their unsuspecting girlfriends to go see the movie on Valentine’s Day. Fans on reddit have been posting pics of their texts. Check them out below; it’s pretty funny (some worked, some didn’t).
“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.
Now it turns out that “67” was just an exaggeration as the Russo’s filled in the Collider, which also saw mention that “Thanos has a very large agenda” in Infinity War:
“We were being figurative when we said [67 characters] and people took it as literal but there’s a lot of characters. Infinity War is meant to be the culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe up to that point. It’s very ambitious in its scope, it wants to take everythign that you’ve seen before and coalesce into some kinda of climactic ending. It’s complicated , ambitious storytelling…We’re not talking about lead characters, just people that make an appearance.”
It’s also learned when and where Infinity War will begin filming, and that the two-parter will be shooting at the same time:
“We start shooting both of them later this year in November and we’re primarily going to be based in Atlanta again. That’s where we’ll do out stage work and some exteriors. There will be locations from around the world involved as well. We actually relocate to Atlanta in late July to finish up pre-production there. We don’t come back to L.A. until the following June.”
“We’re shooting them concurrently, meaning that some days we’ll be shooting the first movie and some days we’ll be shooting the second movie. Just jumping back and forth. We won’t look like this next year.”
The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 hits May 4, 2018, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

You can head on over to Change.org to voice your support for the return of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson.
It is without a doubt that casting JK Simmons in the role of J.Jonah Jameson was another perfect casting choice just like RDJ as Tony Stark. He was just so damn perfect in the original Raimi trilogy and to use anyone else is absurd. They didn’t even dare try recasting him in the Mark Webb reboot and only had a cameo as an email?!? That’s because they know that it’s impossible to get anyone else for this role and even though JK is 61 years old now, age doesn’t matter since he wont do much physical action and it would be the right first step into introducing us to the new Spider-Man.

Open Rivers Film Academy Launches Cinema South Expo
The State of Georgia’s First Motion Picture Career and Education Expo
Last year, more than 200 major film and television projects were shot in Georgia, making it home to the fastest growing entertainment industry in the world. With this status comes many benefits, including increased revenue in the state and also increased job opportunities. The question is, where can Georgia residents go to learn about working in the exciting field of motion picture and television production?
To answer this question and help train Georgia residents for careers in film and television, Open Rivers Film Academy launches Cinema South Motion Picture Career & Education Expo – the first film, television and digital production career expo of its kind in the state of Georgia. The Expo will be held Saturday, January 30, 2016, from 10AM to 5PM at the Open Rivers Film Academy. Open Rivers Film Academy is located in Pinewood Production Centre, 461 Sandy Creek Road, Fayetteville, GA 30214. Military Veterans will be able to gain special entry to the expo beginning at 9AM on that day. Here is a sneak peek at what attendees can expect:
“There hasn’t been an event like this where not only aspiring filmmakers, but anyone seeking career direction in the industry could go to meet and engage film and television veterans about their craft,” stated Tammy Williams, CEO of Open Rivers Pictures and founder of Cinema South Expo. Williams saw in her students, and the community at large, a strong desire to interact with and gain insight from well-established industry professionals. “There are three questions that we heard the community asking: what careers can I pursue in the industry, how do I get started and where are the jobs?’ says Williams. “It is our goal to provide them with the practical answers they need to accomplish their goals,” added Williams.
Expos are common in a variety of industries; they create and hone interest, as well as help foster viable networking contacts for those just starting or interested in pursuing careers. “The television and film industry is growing at a rapid pace, and it is also highly competitive,” says Williams. “Cinema South Expo is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to work in this field. We hope to enlighten attendees about the numerous career options that exist as well as provide a wealth of information to help each person get in the door of their desired area.”

The info comes from Latino Review, who are actually pretty confident about Bizarro as they state “Bizarro WILL appear in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice as part of the setup for Zack Snyder’s upcoming Justice League, Part 1.”
It’s unclear what version of Bizarro it might be, but since we already know Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor is experimenting on Zod’s body, we might see the Bizarro that is the clone of Superman.
It’s also unclear how this form of Bizarro would set up the Justice League movie. Would the League form to fight Bizarro?
What could actually be happening is that the Zod Doomsday is a form of Bizarro. Possibly one leads to the other? We could also speculate then that Doomsday might eventually lead to Brainiac (Krypton connection?).
“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.
