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.”

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: Karen Gillan Talks Nebula and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 At Fan Expo Canada

One thing I wanted to see more of in Guardians of the Galaxy – a lot more of – was of Karen Gillan’s Nebula.

The good news is that Gillan will be back for the sequel.

Check out the above video as Karen Gillan recently appeared at the 2015 Fan Expo Canada as part of the Doctor Who’s Companion panel.

Interestingly enough, Karen Gillan mentions it’s possible Nebula might not be bald this time around for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Karen Gillan wowed the crowd of the San Diego Comic-Con a couple years back when she revealed she shaved her red locks off for the bald look of Nebula.

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.

Preacher Poster Released & Premiere Date Announced

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22011:]]

Seth Rogen has taken to Twitter to release the first poster for the upcoming AMC Preacher TV series, which is based on the DC Comics Vertigo comic book.

Rogen tweeted the poster adding: “Preacher is coming to AMC!!! May 2016! @evandgoldberg @SamCatlin123! The beginning is nigh!!!”

Update: Rogen has apparently deleted the premiere date tweet and tweeted out the following, which makes no mention of May 2016.

Preacher is based on the Garth Ennis DC Comics Vertigo comic book of the same name that sees Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) as a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. 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.

Preacher also stars Ian Colletti as Arseface, Elizabeth Perkins as Vyla, W. Earl Brown as Hugo Root, Lucy Griffiths as Emily, Derek Wilson as Donnie Schenck, Jamie Anne Allman as Betsy Schneck and Ricky Mabe as Miles Person.

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.

No Chance For Hulk or Captain Marvel In Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Says James Gunn

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21993:]]

Over a year ago saw it rumored that at the end of The Avengers 2, the Hulk would be stuck in a pre-programmed Quinjet jettisoning the Green Goliath off to space where the Hulk would meet up with the Guardians in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Gunn previously shot down the Hulk Guardians of the Galaxy 2 rumor, and now seeing how it’s learned the Hulk’s story will not be told in Captain America: Civil War, speculation has again started up that the Hulk would be appearing in Gunn’s sequel.

However, Gunn once again shoots down any notion of the Hulk appearing.

“I will comment on it now (as I’ve done before) – there is zero chance you will see Hulk in GotGVol2,” Gunn offered on Twitter.

Gunn continued with mention that Captain Marvel won’t be featured in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as well.

“For the time being, it’s important to me that Quill is the sole human (earthling) character,” Gunn replied to questioning about Captain Marvel making her MCU debut in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Gunn also offered he doesn’t want a lot of new characters in GoTG2 because he would like to focus on the characters already from the first movie.

“Not too many, that’s for sure!” Gunn responded in regards to how many new characters he would like to take on in Guardians 2. “I want all of our characters to get MORE personal time than they did in the 1st film.”

Regarding Gunn’s statement about Star-Lord being the sole human, which he has stated before, the line of reasoning stirs contention amongst the Cosmic fans as many Marvel Cosmic fans want to see Richard Rider Nova a part of the Guardians movies (Gunn cut Nova from an earlier script), and Star-Lord could easily be argued as not being a relatable human as, for one, he’s half alien, and secondly, in Gunn’s movie, Star-Lord was abducted at a young age and grew up in space. Hopefully a different director will want to tackle Richard Rider Nova’s story at some point.

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

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21990:]]

Warner Bros. has announced a new untitled Christopher Nolan movie for a Summer 2017 release date.

WB will have full worldwide distribution rights for the untitled project, which has been given a July 21, 2017 release date.

Nolan’s previous project with WB was with Interstellar, but Paramount shared in the distribution rights.

No details are known about the new Christopher Nolan movie as the director’s projects are often shrouded in secrecy, but it’s probably safe to say it will be a large scale production on par with Interstellar and the Batman movies.

Regarding Nolan doing another DC movie, Wonder Woman actually comes out a month prior, so more than likely it won’t be another DC flick.

Marvel and Sony do have the new Spider-Man reboot coming out a week later, on July 28, 2017, so it will be an interesting showdown against Nolan.

Christopher Nolan’s latest project is the short film about the Quay brothers.
