Elizabeth Olsen Says Daniel Bruhl Is Captain America: Civil War Main Villain

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22051:]]

This should really come as no surprise, but in addition to Robert Downey Jr.* being the main villain of Captain America: Civil War, Elizabeth Olsen lets it be known that Daniel Bruhl is the main villain as Baron Zemo.

Olsen recently spoke to the French site Premiere where she confirmed the news. You can check out video of Olsen below.

Brühl is an incredible actor and he’s playing the main villain in it. And he’s incredible! It’s a movie about people as opposed to robots this time. So it’s darker and it’s allowed to be darker because it gets more in the mindset of humans rather than machines.

*Cosmic Book News supports Team Cap

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Zack Snyder Says Door Is Open For George Miller Doing A DC Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22047:]]

Recent rumors have suggested either that George Miller is directing Man of Steel 2 or that he is at least in line for a DC movie property.

Now while promoting the Doritos Super Bowl contest in another interview, Zack Snyder tackles the rumor stating he hasn’t talked about it with Miller.

“George doing one of the DC movies? Oh my God, absolutely. George can do anything he wants, in my opinion,” Snyder told The Herald Sun. “We haven’t talked about it, and to be frank I just didn’t know what he was thinking of doing next. But yeah, if I was to think he had any interest in them of course I’m happy to talk to him.”

Snyder continues with mention that Miller would be welcome to come on board.

“Oh my God, [the door is] so open,” Snyder said.

Previously, Snyder took a couple of jabs at Marvel and Ant-Man, and now offers more.

“It’s an interesting question. I haven’t seen Ant-Man. I just haven’t had time. I’ve been so stacked, I’ve been in post, but I do want to, I have an interest in seeing it. But to me it’s like, there’s undeniable and amazing talent and entertainment in the movies they make, and Joss [Whedon] is really good. The question is whether or not — or how — the superhero genre evolves, or does it stay the same? Steven Spielberg made that comment about [superhero movies] going the way of the westerns, and my reaction is: then you’ve got to make a better movie. That’s the reality. I know that doesn’t really answer the question, but the feeling is that we can’t stay the same, that’s one thing for sure.”

Ron Perlman On Hellboy 3: “We Owe It To The Fans”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22039:]]

Ron Perlman has been hitting up the social networks in an attempt to grab attention for a third Hellboy film. 

Now the latest is that while speaking with IGN, Perlman offers they owe it do the fans to complete the trilogy.

“…it’s the deal we made with the public by making installments one and two. Clearly we’re not finished,” Perlman said. “We’re not finished until we find out whether this guy’s is going to meet his destiny or whether he’s going to find a way to avoid it. So that’s what the third installment would be and that’s why I got on my soapbox saying ‘We owe it to the fans and it’s essential that we finish this – it’s too good an idea to not do.’ And so I will now shut my mouth and leave it up to the gods and the fates.”

Regarding the fates, Perlman offers Hellboy could always see the light of day on TV, but it be without him under the makeup.

“Anything’s possible. It won’t be me playing him,” Perlman offered. “The only time I would ever go back to do Hellboy is to do the third and final installment of the trilogy. Which is why I’ve been yapping away and opening my big f**king mouth on Twitter and all that sh*t.”

Ron Perlman also offers details on Hellboy 3’s direction.

“It seem that way. People encourage me – ‘Yeah come on Ron. Be an a*shole some more. Come one, come on. You do it so well.’ Guillermo [Del Toro] shared with me what the third and final instalment would look like and it’s incredibly theatrical, it’s highly charged, it’s got huge dynamic to it and it’s very cinematic.”

Following a ten year abscence from the X-Men movies, Stan Lee will return in a cameo role for X-Men: Apocalypse.

Lee recently appeared on Larry King where he was asked about his role.

“That cameo is different than any I have ever done before because I did it with another person who is very important to me,” Stan Lee said. “I can’t tell you more than that. No, you’ve go to see it.”

Stan Lee continued with mention his cameo will be the biggest thing since sliced bread.

“The whole world is now saying, because everybody watches your show, they’re all saying ‘who could possibly be that important to Stan?’ This is going to become the biggest talking point throughout the whole country.”

Stan Lee also told Larry King he doesn’t have anything invested in the Fox X-Men movies and doesn’t receive payments for them.

Watch: Stan Lee Responds To Fantastic Four Flop

Fantastic Four currently sits at $155 million worldwide at the box office with a 9% positive (or 91% negative, depending on how you want to look at it) Rotten Tomatoes score.

Now the co-creator of the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee, weighs in on the movie’s flop while speaking with Larry King.

“It was probably because I didn’t have a cameo in it,” Lee offered. “They didn’t discuss the story with me. I haven’t seen it yet. I really can’t comment about it.”

King, surprised that Stan Lee hasn’t seen Fantastic Four, questioned why he wouldn’t run to see it.

“I don’t run to see anything,” Lee responded. “I walk jaunty-jolly, as Mel Brooks would say, and I just get there eventually.”

Stan Lee also offers it “may be true” that movie studios reboot things too quickly.

Watch: Michael Shannon Talks Batman vs. Superman With Larry King

Recent statements by Michael Shannon saw the actor state he has a role in Batman Vs. Superman suggesting his character has flipper hands which led to all sorts of internet speculation.

Shannon then stated he was just joking, and now Larry King asks Michael Shannon about the movie.

Shannon tells King how Superman cracked his neck in Man of Steel and left him for dead, which saw King remark, “So you’re not Zod?”

“It’s the same thing like in the first one with Jor-El, Russell Crowe’s character, is kind of like a ghost,” Shannon responded. “So I guess I’m a ghost.”  

Shannon also confirms he is there in Batman Vs. Superman as Zod, as well as states he did not film scenes with Batman.

“Yeah,” Shannon responded to Larry King’s questioning about portraying Zod. “I did not cross paths with Batman. No.”

Regarding the flippers, Shannon offered he was being a little “mischievous” as Warner Bros. doesn’t want him saying anything. “It was a red herring as it were.”

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22036:]]

Zack Snyder Jabs At Marvel & Ant-Man; Talks More Batman Vs Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22035:]]

Zack Snyder is making the press rounds as of late promoting his involvment in the Doritos Superbowl contest where the director has been talking about Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League. Snyder previously commented on the Robin rumors in the film, and now again comments on recent statements by Steven Spielberg that said the superhero movie genre might go the way of the Western, which sees Snyder take a jab at Marvel and Ant-Man.

Speaking with The Daily Beast, Snyder insinuates that the Marvel movies have no staying power compared to the DC characters.

“It goes to the mythological nature of the movies that we’re making,” Snyder said in regards to Spielberg’s sentiments. “I feel like [Spielberg’s] right. But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman. They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man—not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next Blank-Man?” 

Snyder says both Batman and Superman are of mythological proportions and again takes another jab at Marvel.

“It’s a tricky process, setting up the DC universe, or Justice League,” Snyder said. “The credit goes to [Batman Begins director] Chris Nolan because he set the die for the DC Universe in a great way that I tried to emulate. I look at it as more being mythological than, say, bubblegum. And I think that that’s appropriate for Batman and Superman because they’re the most mythological of our superheroes.”

The interview also sees Zack Snyder confront another rumor that Batman Vs. Superman will feature more of Batman (which is a no-brainer if you think about it as it’s the first Ben Affleck Batman appearance).

“Only in that because it’s a different Batman than the Batman that was in the Chris Nolan movies, so we have a little bit more explaining to do—and you justhad a whole Superman movie,” he smiled. “But I think only in that way, because you need to understand where Batman is with everything. And that’s more toward the beginning, but it evens back out as it goes on.”

Update: Snyder talks more about Marvel and Ant-Man as well as the possility of George Miller directing a DC movie.

“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.

Watch: Tom Hiddleston Loki Cut Footage From Avengers 2 Blu-Ray

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22024:]]

Much to the dismay of Loki fans around the world, Marvel cut Tom Hiddleston from The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Initially, Marvel told Joss Whedon that Hiddleston couldn’t even be in the movie, but when Whedon actually talked to Hiddleston, Tom said he would appear in The Avengers 2.

Then when it came down to it, Marvel cut Tom Hiddleston from the Thor cave scene (maybe at the hands of the Marvel Creative Committee?).

Now video of Tom Hiddleston in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron has hit the net from what appears to be footage from the Blu-Ray.

It’s not much, but at least you can get your Loki fix while we wait for Tom Hiddleston in Thor 3.

Tom Hiddleston will also be featured in Crimson Peak, out October 16th.

Star Wars: Episode VIII Filming In Ireland

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22016:]]

Disney and LucasFilm are returning to Ireland to film Star Wars: Episode VIII as it’s reported the Irish government has unveiled a new partnership to allow use of the ancient location of Skellig Michael.

THR reports  permission has been granted for Lucasfilm to return to the historical location, which has been a protected UNESCO world heritage site since 1996, provided no damage comes to the island’s ecology or bird life.

“Sceilg Mhichil (Skellig Michael) is one of our most dramatic and beautiful islands and it is very easy to understand why its stunning scenery has caught the attention of the makers of one of the world’s biggest film franchises,” said government official Heather Humphreys in a statement. “The return of Star Wars to Sceilg Mhichil is another win for Ireland and the Irish film industry, which is a growing and dynamic sector of our economy.”

Humphreys added: “Specialist staff from my Department have been in discussions with Lucasfilm since March of this year in relation to a limited amount of filming, expected to last two to four days.”

J.J. Abrams’s filmed Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Skellig Michael last year.

The untitled “Star Wars: Episode VIII” has a May 26, 2017 release date directed by Rian Johnson.

Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), the three embark on a journey to literally find God.

Why Grey Hulk Was Cut From Avengers: Age Of Ultron

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22005:]]

Eagle-eyed fans caught a glimpse of the Grey Hulk in promos for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but when the movie came out it turned out the Grey Goliath had been cut.

Now it’s learned exactly why as VFX supervisor Christopher Townsend lets it be know the reasoning was to not confuse fans as there are different versions of Huk in the comics (and even different versions of the Grey Hulk with Joe Fixit and the Ultimate Hulk); via Screen Rant:

Yeah. What Joss wanted to do was he said, “I wanted to have a Hulk that’s this berserker Hulk.” Berserker Hulk was this Hulk that Hulks out, was what we had come up with on set. And then we sort of started talking about, “Well what are those extremes?” And ILM started playing with a deformed body with a deformed face with one eye larger than another. You know, like crooked teeth, and drooling, and red eyes, and all this kind of stuff.

Then we started playing with color and we started to de-saturate him and give him sort of red around his eyes and made him look strung-out heroin addict Hulk was the idea. Sort of like where he has totally lost it and he’s gone totally crazy. And then we gradually tended towards a grayer and grayer version till effectively we got gray Hulk.

We tried a few shots in the film with that sort of much grayer version. And then we’re thinking, “Will people confuse this with the gray Hulk from the comics? And is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Eventually, I think we backed off a little bit of that and made him greener so that…we didn’t want to confuse people in creating a new character, per se, in that way. So we ultimately backed off. But we had gone pretty extreme in the looks for him.

Zack Snyder Talks Batman Vs. Superman, Justice League & Robin

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22002:]]

Warner Bros. and DC are teaming with Doritos for the “Crash the Superbowl” contest, which will see the winning filmaker of a Doritos Super Bowl commercial working with director Zack Snyder on a DC movie.

You can enter the contest here, and Snyder also talked with Yahoo about Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League.

Regarding Batman Vs. Superman, back in June the cinematographer on the movie teased an image of Zack Snyder’s 19-year-old son Eli with “Boy Wonder” leading many fans to speculate Eli Snyder is playing the sidekick to Ben Affleck’s Batman; however, Zack Snyder shoots down the rumor.

“There’s a rumor that my son is [playing] Robin. It’s not true,” Snyder said. “Now there are all these images of him that people have made where he’s dressed like Robin. It’s fun to hear and see them.”

With so many DC projects in the works, Snyder offers he is mainly focusing on three of them, but is also on board to help out with the rest.

“I’m staying with Batman V Superman and Justice League and Justice League 2 — those are my main responsibilities, as well as producing the other movies,” Snyder offered. “That’s the main line. Once you get Justice League, you’re pretty deep in it. But like I was saying, not to be a selfless promoter of our program, what it shows is that we have this giant berth of opportunity with the DC movies now to I think find the opportunities for even young filmmakers to even get involved because there are so many projects.”

Here is the current slate of DC movies:

2016:
March 25: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
August 5: Suicide Squad

2017:
June 23: Wonder Woman
November 17: Justice League, Part 1

2018:
March 23: The Flash
July 27: Aquaman

2019:
April 5: Shazam
June 14: Justice League, Part 2

2020:
April 3: Cyborg
June 19: Green Lantern Corps

“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.

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.
