John Boyega Teases Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22518:]]

Update: Disney officially released a new poster and announced tickets and new footage for tomorrow.

 

Following last night’s articles about ESPN seemingly confirming a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer and poster, Good Morning America teasing something new for Monday and word of tickets going on sale, now John Boyega has also teased “Get Ready” on his Instagram account with the following video.

Regarding Boyega’s character, Finn, Fandango also updated their site with a new synopsis about the character: In this continuation of the epic space opera saga, a downed stormtrooper (John Boyega) goes on a journey reconnecting him with heroic faces from the past (Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.)   

A UK Twitter account has also teased something today for noon.

Watch: Good Morning America Teases Star Wars: The Force Awakens For Monday

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22517:]]

We finally have some concrete evidence that – something – Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be hitting on Monday.

A user on Instagram posted the following video of a Good Morning America (airs on Disney’s ABC) promo that states something new from Star Wars: The Force Awakens is coming.

As it’s been reported a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will be released Monday during NFL Monday Night Football, it’s possible Good Morning America may confirm the trailer release with a new spot featuring a bit of new footage.

Interestingly enough, similar to the ESPN tweet, the official GMA Twitter account deleted a tweet announcing the news as well (screen shot follows video). It’s also been stated tickets go on sale Monday.

OMAC Speculated For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22510:]]

Following Cosmic Book News breaking the story that Doomsday will not be featured in Batman Vs. Superman, a fan theory has surfaced online suggesting OMAC will be a villain.

The gang over at the Super Hero Hype Message boards have put forth a rather convincing argument that Zack Snyder will be tying OMAC into LexCorp and Lex Luthor.

Perhaps one of the most visually compelling arguments comes in the form of the LexCorp logo from the trailer and the art of OMAC from the comics which share the same color scheme:

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22509:]]

The recent Batman Vs. Superman LexCorp viral video also seemingly teases the involvement of OMAC :

At LexCorp Industries, we believe in technology that unites us, where inspiration, innovation and imagination all come together to create a greater tomorrow, today. Now, LexCorp is proud to announce Lex/OS the world’s most private and secure operating system. Engineered with the protection you need, and the freedom you want. To celebrate, please enjoy our free Lex Wi-Fi throughout this venue and visit our LexCorp booth for your free charging device. LexCorp and the New Lex/OS, providing the safety and confidence we need in an ever changing world. Let’s build a better tomorrow. 

With Luthor stating:

We are on the cusp of unveiling a technology that will change the world forever. It’s about safety. This is a product that will protect you, and everyone, from threats you don’t even know about yet. I don’t want to scare anybody… much. But there are a lot of threats out there, and they’re here today. 

In the comics, the OMACs are humans transformed by a Brainiac virus into living machines/cyborgs that are used to assassinate any and all beings with superpowers created by the Defense Department and LexCorp. In Batman Vs. Superman, it’s possible Lex may create OMAC with the use of Zod’s corpse.

“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.

No Doomsday For Batman Vs. Superman; Visual Effects Completed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22505:]]

The visual effects on Batman Vs. Superman have finished as a 3D creature artist who works at MPC posted the above on image Instagram and also revealed Doomsday is not in the film.

“Batman v Superman is wrapped, one the best films i have worked on! My inner child is happy!” Sean Ray added. “I’m the biggest superman fan ever! So it was a dream to work on it! Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen in March! I can’t wait!! Good job everyone who worked on it.”

It’s long been rumored and speculated that Doomsday would be featured in Batman Vs. Superman (with some thinking Michael Shannon playing the part); however, the artist responds in the comments the Superman villain is not in the film.

“Hahaha lol unfortunately he’s not in the film, maybe in the man of steel squel or justice league film who knows,” Ray said responding to being asked if he created a model for Doomsday.

Update: Here is a screenshot of the conversation:

Vin Diesel Wants Giant Groot For Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (Video)

Not only did Vin Diesel tease Black Bolt (and maybe Adam Warlock), but in a recent interview Vin Diesel said he wants to see Gigantic Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

While Guardians of the Galaxy ended with the dancing baby Groot, obviously since Groot is plant-based, he can grow to the full size of a tree.

“I’ve talked to James Gunn about that. I can’t give it away but I would love to see gigantic Groot,” Vin Diesel told IGN. “I’d love to throw him into a forest and see how much mass that he consumes after devouring all the trees.

“Imagine throwing him into Central Park in New York City. I just want to see Giant Groot,” he said.

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

Watch: Vin Diesel Show Off Black Bolt Impression; Teases Adam Warlock?

On more than one occasion Vin Diesel has teased playing Black Bolt in the Marvel Studios Inhumans movie with the latest being that Vin Diesel recommended his Witch Hunter co-star Rose Leslie for a role and teased that his “presence” would be used for another character.

Now while in London speaking with IGN, Black Bolt is brought up again with Vin Diesel offering his impression.

“If I said one word, I would level all of London,” Vin Diesel offered in the above video.

Vin Diesel continued with mention about talking with both Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige as well as his father about super hero roles.

“It would be… put it this way, when Kevin Feige started talking to me about… who would ever think?” Diesel offered. “A voice for one thing and presence for another would be pretty genius – it’d be pretty genius.”

It should be mentioned that Vin Diesel as Black Bolt isn’t confirmed (he could very well be playing Lockjaw in some form), and note that Vin Diesel didn’t specify what Feige was talking about, but check out what his father told him, which may actually hint at Adam Warlock.

“Whenever my father sends me an email, at the end of it he says ‘stay human’ – and it’s cool and beautiful, but what is he really trying to say. Is he trying to say I’ve been affected by Terrigen Mist? Does he want to cocoon me again?” 

Relative to the character of Adam Warlock is that Warlock is an artificial human who was born/reborn in a cocoon. Warlock is also quite the presence in the Marvel Cosmic universe, wouldn’t you say?

Inhumans has a July 12, 2019 release.

Deadline confirms the news, as the site is essentially an “unofficial” voice for various Hollywood sources.

A second as-of-yet unconfirmed rumor also recently surfaced surrounding the Hulk and new director Taika Waititi stating Waititi was brought on board Thor 3 to lighten up the script and add in some humor as Marvel felt the Chris Yost-written script was too serious and dark.

David Goyer Talks Defunct Green Arrow Movie; Won’t Be Directing DC Movies

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22477:]]

Back around 2008, a Green Arrow movie was in development from David Goyer (writer on the Batman The Dark Knight movies and Man of Steel) and Justin Marks (writer on Top Gun 2 and The Jungle Book). The plot of the movie centered on Oliver Queen being framed for murder and sent to prison, with his subsequent escape. The movie was titled “Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max” and featured a host of villains including Joker, Riddler and Lex Luthor.

While recently speaking to Den Of Geek, Goyer made note that with DC doing a villain-centric Suicide Squad movie, his Green Arrow film was ahead of its time.

“I think it absolutely was,” Goyer said about the project.. “I think if that script had come over the transom a couple of years later… It was completely ahead of its time. By the way, everything I see about Suicide Squad looks fantastic and it’s a different story. But it was absolutely ahead of its time. You know, Marvel was considering doing the Sinister Six and at the time, God, I think this was eight or nine years ago that we wrote a couple of drafts, but it certainly was like this oddball project at Warner Bros at the time, they were like – even though the script was good – ‘why would we make a movie about a bunch of villains? That makes no sense.’”

Goyer continues with mention that Warner Bros. at the time just wanted to focus on the more popular characters in their stable, but now with Marvel having success with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man, it was only a matter of time before a villains movie saw the light of day.

“The executive on it was really visionary,” Goyer said. “But the higher-ups, none of whom are at Warner Bros any more, just thought at the time, you know, we just want to make Batman and Superman movies. We don’t want to make any other characters. But this is before Marvel had really taken off, before more obscure projects like Guardians Of The Galaxy or Ant-Man or things like that had huge success, before the current gold rush I guess, if you will. It’s natural that eventually someone was going to make a villain movie, so that’s just what happened!”

The report also notes Goyer said he isn’t planning on directing any of the upcoming DC movies.

Fantastic Four Movie Rights Rumored To Return To Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22476:]]

With the recent announcement of two X-Men TV series in development, which sees X-Men producers working side-by-side Marvel execs, now it’s rumored the Fantastic Four movie rights have returned to Marvel.

According to Den Of Geek, Marvel okayed the two X-Men TV series, Legion and Hellfire Club, in exchange for the Fantastic Four movie rights.

It’s said a new Fantastic Four movie is planned for 2020, and is one of the three new Marvel movies that were just announced.

It’s also worth mentioning that Stan Lee will have a cameo in X-Men: Apocalypse – for the first time in ten years – which further signifes relations between Marvel and Fox are improved.

An Avengers/X-Men movie has also been rumored for 2020.

If the rumor of Fantastic Four holds true, lets hope that also means the Silver Surfer and Galactus go with it, as it was previously said Marvel wanted those characters and offered an extension of the Daredevil rights in exchange. The deal never went through and DD eventually returned to Marvel leading to the Netflix TV series. 

If FF is also back at Marvel that may also mean its villains – such as Annihilius – would return, which would make it possible for Marvel Studios to adapt the fan-favorite Annihilation Marvel Cosmic comics event from 2005/6 starring Richard Rider Nova. The series spawned Guardians of the Galaxy.

Fox’s recent Fantastic Four was a huge flop at the box office only generating $166 million with poor reviews including a dismal 9% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Update: The original source of the article has been updated with mention the deal includes the rights to villains Galactus and Doctor Doom, as well as the Silver Surfer.

Update #2: Collider is reporting the rumor is false and is stating Fox already owned the TV rights; however, that contradicts what Fox said about being in negotiations with Marvel about a live-action X-Men series (meaning Fox doesn’t own the TV rights and Marvel needs to give the okay).

Update #3: Representatives for Fox are stating the rumored Fantastic Four deal is not true.

Update #4: Likewise, reps for Marvel are stating the rumor is not true.

James Cameron & Robert Rodriguez Adapting Battle Angel Alita Manga To Film

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22475:]]

James Cameron’s adaptation of the Battle Angel Alita Manga series is finally happening as Carmeron has brought Robert Rodriguez on board to direct.

Deadline reports Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Spy Kids, Sin City, From Dusk Till Dawn) is currently in talks to direct the the live-action adaptation of the graphic novel series Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro.

The reports states Cameron is too busy with the Avatar movies to helm the film himself.

“Robert and I have been looking for a film to do together for years, so I was pumped when he said he wanted to do Battle Angel,” James Cameron said in a statement. “He’s very collaborative and we’re already like two kids building a go-kart, just having fun riffing creatively and technically. This project is near and dear to me, and there’s nobody I trust more than Robert, with his technical virtuosity and rebel style, to take over the directing reins. We’re looking forward to learning a lot from each other while we make a kick-ass epic.”

Robert Rodriguez aded: “Battle Angel is an incredibly rich and vibrant epic in the tradition of Jim Cameron’s spectacular, character-driven films. Getting to work from Jim’s terrific and visionary script while learning the cutting edge techniques he’s pioneered is a master class in filmmaking. It’s an honor to explore the world of Alita along with Jim and Jon, whose films have impacted me for decades.” 

Set in the 26th century, Alita: Battle Angel tells the story of Alita, an amnesiac female cyborg who is rescued from a scrapyard by a doctor. The rebuilt Alita, remembering only her training in a deadly martial art, becomes a hunter-warrior, tracking down and eliminating vicious criminals. Within the context of an epic action-adventure, the film will explore a young woman’s journey of self-discovery and finding love.
