Possible Batman Vs. Superman Spoilers Leak Online Including Scoot McNairy’s Character & More

Following the details of Doomsday being released by the production designer of Batman Vs. Superman, now potential spoilers may have leaked online.

A user on Reddit posted the following:

Ultimately Luthor uses Project Black Zero to create a “Black Zero” Superman (HINT HINT- Bizzaro N52 name and Zod’s ship thingy was called Black Zero in MoS) that triggers something called the “Doomsday protocol” in Zod.

There’s a creepy rubber Henry Cavill face they laser onto Zod.

Doomsday is something that lies within each Kryptonian (Except Superman, because he had a natural birth) to prevent cloning and revival. Sort of like a anti-piracy.

Dick and jason are named dropped, and Jenna Malone is Carrie Kelley seen for a small scene being attacked by the guy you see branded in the trailer after batman stops it.

Aquaman shows up twice. The Metal Men don’t appear but they’re alluded to.

The credits apparently want everyone to sit around and watch because it’s the Justice League (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) doing Justice League stuff, with a second appearance by Aquaman helping Wonder Woman with a flood, Batman working with Cyborg, and Superman and Flash sprinting through a city.

You don’t see joker but hes referenced.

Wonder Woman talks about the New Gods.

Doomsday is stopped when forced into the Phantom Zone, opened by Batman, by Superman after a distraction from Wonder Woman.

Description of the flash suit seen in the credits scenes, It’s kinda like a combination between a Swat Team uniform and a diver’s suit. The helmet is a rubbery plastic with metal wing ears like Jay Garrick’s. He doesn’t wear lenses. There are different textures on the suit, but it all seems kinda rubbery or duct tape type material. It’s thick. It’s brighter red in the center and darker red on the legs and the seems. He has faded yellow boots and gloves. There is no lighting around around him or trailing.

The batman vs superman fight isn’t long it ends with Batman “winning” followed by him having a heart attack, assumingly from being in a 2 ton suit and being thrown through streets and being in range of a kryptonian bomb that goes off in the fight. Superman flys him to the cave.

Doomsday does evolve to look more like the comic version, Wonder Woman chops off his arm and it grows back to look like the comic book one with the cool spike, and he starts to grow spikes out of his head when Superman is rushing his face against the pavement.

scoot mcnairy is William Magnus, who has a direct influence on the creation of Cyborg, but leaves when he finds out Luthor’s a total douche.

The doomsday fight also takes place 6 months after bruces heart attack.

Wayne enterprises owns the World Engine, that could become the watch tower. No fortress of solitude mentioned. No hall of justice mentioned.

Lex gets cancer after working with so much alien shit. He never wears a wig, and eventually shaves it.

Aquaman tells Wonder Woman he thinks the World Engine is from the New Gods, and Wonder Woman scouts out Clark and Bruce as Diana, then shows up talking about how “New Gods” yet unheard of have powers of mind and threats we can’t imagine, etc. It’s not super delved into but it’s the main reason they let her into the club and decide to keep in contact.

Batman nightmare is a recurring one like that episode of Twilight Zone. The first one ends after the Parademons start picking up soldiers and a defeated Batman, the second one ends after Superman rips off Batman’s mask and his eyes glow red.

Lex gets cancer after working with so much alien shit. He never wears a wig, and eventually shaves it.

The Dick and jason name drop goes like this apparently “This type of brutish attitude is precisely why master Dick left you, and why master Jason-” Then Bruce cuts him off.

The cut he saw was a little over three hours. He’s assuming they’re editing it down to 2.5 but they’re VFXing the whole thing for the “Definitive Cut”

WW has a accent but it fits.

Lex/OS uses “Kryptonian Software.” possibly Brainiac?

Cyborg is Luthor’s poster boy for victims of Black Zero

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.

Independence Day: Resurgence Reveals What Happened To Will Smith

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23287:]]

By now, we all know that Will Smith is not returning for Independence Day: Resurgence.

Smith played the lead character in the 1996 film with Captain Steven Hiller.

Now with the release of the new Independence Day: Resurgence trailer and War of 1996 viral site, it’s not only learned that Smith’s Hiller received a promotion — but that Will Smith and Hiller will not be returning for any more sequels.

Will Smith’s Colonel Hiller has been killed off as the character died in an alien-tech malfunction.

Both the trailer and viral site revealed mankind has taken the alien tech as their own and used it as an upgrade, where we see Hiller has been killed off as a result of experimenting with the tech.

The date of Hiller’s death: April 27, 2007.

While test piloting the ESD’s first alien hybrid fighter, an unknown malfunction causes the untimely death of Col. Hiller. Hiller’s valor in the War of 96 made him a beloved global icon whose selfless assault against the alien mothership lead directly to the enemy’s defeat. He is survived by his wife Jasmine and son Dylan. 

Independence Day: Resurgence has a June 24, 2016 release directed by Rolan Emmerich starring Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Angelababy, Maika Monroe, Sela Ward, and Jessie Usher.

Synopsis:

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Alien: Covenant Will Have All The Aliens Says Ridley Scott

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23276:]]

With the recent change in title, it should come as no surprise that the sequel to Prometheus is actually more an “Alien” film than the latter, and now Ridley Scott offers further details.

Speaking with The Wrap, Ridley Scott confirms it’s more Alien and also offers that Alien: Covenant will feature the Xenomorphs fans have come to know from the original movies.

Via The Wrap:

Yeah. Well, really it’s “Alien.” They’re going to go to the planet where the engineers came from, and come across the evolving creature that they had made. Why did they make it? Why would they make such a terrifying beast? It felt bio-mechanoid, it felt like a weapon. And so the movie will explain that, and reintroduce the alien back into it.

There was always this discussion: Is Alien, the character, the beast, played out or not? We’ll have them all: egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, then the big boy. I think maybe we can go another round or two.

Alien: Covenant has an October 6, 2017 release starring Michael Fassbender.

Synopsis:

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.

Bryan Singer Breaks Down X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23263:]]

With the release of the new X-Men: Apocalypse trailer comes the following details as director Bryan Singer breaks down the footage. Singer also participated in a Twitter Q&A.

Via EW.com:

On Sophie Turner as Jean Grey:

 “It’s all about their potential. Jean has a special connection with Xavier, she has a special connection with the psychic world and she has enormous untapped power that’s growing. The take I used for the movie is a less sincere take. In the movie it’s an intense moment, a psychic moment happens between [Jean and Charles] and the take is a much more suspicious take.”

On Alexandra Shipp as Storm:

“…she’s looking for a mother and a father and the village she lost”

On the new younger versions of the mutants (includes Tye Sheridan as Cyclops, Lana Condor as Jubilee, Kodi Smit-McPhee as Nightcrawler):

“It was important to show that these are kids,. There’s no way anybody can get in there but them, and do what needs to be done, and yet they’re kids…[Mystique] works alone. The very last thing she wants to be is in charge of a group of young mutants. But we find everybody at a certain place in the movie and take them to the very opposite of where they started.”

On Tomar Lemarquis as Caliban:

 “bald and has funky eyes. He’s a great character. Really cool.”

On Evan Peters as Quicksilver:

“There’s one sequence that took one and a half months to shoot for three minutes of film. It involves the most complex camera moves, very sophisticated explosive algorithms, 3D Phantom cameras travelling at 50mph while shooting at 3,100 frames per second. Evan worked more days on this movie than any other actor because of this one sequence.”

On Michael Fassbender as Magneto (you can read more specific details/spoilers here):

“[Apocalypse] found Erik at the most vulnerable place in his life. He’s searching for God. Remember, he was a young Jew in a concentration camp when he first lost his family and now here comes this man who was, is, or claims to be God. The power of persuasion is Apocalypse’s greatest power.”

On Magneto as a Horseman:

“He’s one of the most pivotal characters. Fassbender really delivers here in non-traditional comic book style. There are scenes here you will not see in any other comic book movie. I really think Erik goes through one of the most complex journeys in the movie.”

On James McAvoy as Charles Xavier Vs. Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse:

“The two of them really go at it,” Singer said of Charles’ fight scene with a (literally) growing Apocalypse. “The end of the movie becomes an all-out battle with a force that’s very formidable. He’s a hard man to break, Apocalypse. It’s why he thinks he’s God.”

On the size of Apocalypse:

“…couldn’t go full Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man where he’s just Giant Apocalypse, swatting at things. I did something a little interesting in how I addressed the size thing, but I think the audience will get a kick out of it.” 

On Charles Xavier:

 “I wanted to remind the audience that this isn’t just the climax of three movies. It’s the climax of six movies, beginning with X-Men 1…It’s the original chair from the first movie – we bought it from a collector.”

On the destruction seen taking place in the movie and NYC:

“It’s not just New York, it’s all over the world,” he said, referring to cyclones hitting the Big Apple. “They’ll be visually different than things you’ve seen in these kinds of destructive movies, like Roland Emmerich’s films or Michael Bay’s. There are large-scale setpieces.” 

“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.

Exclusive Deadpool Trailer Attached To Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23261:]]

Deadpool trailer will be shown in front of Star Wars: The Force Awakens next Friday on IMAX. 

Update: According to Alberta Film Ratings, the Deadpool IMAX trailer will be 27 seconds long. In addition, two new Deadpool trailers are listed (which may be a PG-13 and a Red-Band version) coming in at 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

A user on Reddit who works at a movie theater posted a picture of the box that contains the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie where listed are the following trailers:

Batman Vs. Superman
Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool
Independence Day: Resurgence
Jungle Book
Warcraft

Note: The Deadpool trailer may be new as it appears to be an IMAX 2D exclusive.

It was thought Fox was going with the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer (perhaps in different screenings for the Force Awakens?), but we see from the image some sort of Deadpool (assuming a non-Red-Band version) will be featured on IMAX.

You can watch the latest Deadpool trailer below.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens Friday, December 18th, with advance screenings kicking off Thursday night.

Lionsgate Adapting Stan Lee’s Romeo & Juliet: The War Graphic Novel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23258:]]

Back in 2011, Stan Lee and 1821 Comics published a futuristic science-fiction take on the classic Shakespeare play with Romeo and Juliet: The War.

Now it’s learned the graphic novel is getting adapted into a movie.

“What a treat it is to finally announce our partnership with Lionsgate on a project,” said Lee, reports Variety. “The story of Romeo and Juliet is one of my absolute favorites, and I can’t wait to bring our rendition of this classic to life.”

The Romeo and Juliet: The War movie is being written by screenwriter John J. Griffin, with Paris Kasidokostas-Latsis and Terry Dougas of 1821 Media producing. Stan Lee and Gill Champion of POW! will executive produce, and Erik Feig and James Myers will oversee the project for Lionsgate.

“Given their success with franchises such as The Hunger Games and Divergent series, Lionsgate is the perfect partner to adapt this graphic novel which is rich in visuals and set in an incredible, futuristic world,” Kasidokostas-Latsis and Dougas said.

The Romeo and Juliet: The War graphic novel was published in a limited giant edition format that set the Guinness World Record for the largest graphic novel. You can purchase it on Amazon.

I interviewed Stan Lee back in 2011 at the NYCC about the book, and the crowd around Stan Lee got so big, that the NYPD threatened to shut him down (it was crazy!). Check out the trailer narrated by Stan Lee below.

ROMEO AND JULIET: THE WAR story takes Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers and places them in the futuristic sci-fi/fantasy Empire of Verona, the most powerful territory on Earth. The MONTAGUES, powerful cyborgs made of artificial DNA, and the CAPULETS, genetically enhanced humans known for their speed and agility, worked in tandem to destroy all threats to the city. With no one left to fight, the Montagues and Capulets found themselves a new enemy: each other.

Bigger X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer Coming & New Poster Released

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23253:]]

I felt the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer released earlier this morning was actually pretty decent. For one, even though the look of Apocalypse has been met with a lot of initial disdain and comparisons to Ivan Oooze, Apocalypse in the trailer looked better than the first promo images and thankfully wasn’t bright purple.

Now with the first trailer release, Bryan Singer lets it be known a new one will be coming next year, which he states will be even bigger than this one. Singer also talks a bit about what the story is about as the X-Men: Apocalypse Twitter Q&A has kicked off.

A new poster has also been released.
