Mark Hamill Reacts To Amy Schumer Star Wars Images

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21419:]]

A couple of days ago saw GQ magazine publisher parody pictures of comedian/actress Amy Schumer in various sexual situations with Star Wars characters.

Typical of the internet, some fans exploded, which caused Disney Lucasfilm to officially respond.

Now Mark Hamill joins in, but the Luke Skywalker actor takes it a lot better than some of the wannabe Jedi Knights.

“Got excited when I saw [the] Amy Schumer GQ Magazine pics and thought she was just cast in [Star Wars: Episode] 8!” Hamill tweeted. “We should be so lucky.”

The reaction to the Amy Schumer images caused Disney to officially deny they approved the pics, but we see Hamill takes it rather lightly.

Mark Hamill returns for Star Wars: The Force Awakens this December.

Guillermo Del Toro Updates Justice League Dark, Hellboy 3 & Pacific Rim 2

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21415:]]

Coming out of Comic-Con, we get an update regarding Guillermo del Toro’s involvement in Justice League Dark, Hellboy 3 and Pacific Rim 2.

Just prior to Comic-Con saw the news that Guillermo Del Toro had departed the Justice League Dark movie, which was (or is) to feature the supernatural characters of the DC Comics; now it’s learned the reason for Guillermo Del Toro leaving the film is because of Pacific Rim 2.

“Warners liked the script, they were very enthusiastic and wanted to green-light it but they wanted it to coincide with the shoot of Pacific Rim 2,” Del Toro told Daily Beast. “I was put in a very difficult place facing a difficult choice, and I chose to do Pacific Rim 2.”

There has also been talk of late about Hellboy 3, with Ron Perlman leading the charge. Del Toro says it is still a possibility, but there is a catch, as the article notes Guillermo del Toro said Pacific Rim 2 needs to be a success.

“The hard fact is that the movie’s going to need about $120 million and there’s nobody knocking down our doors to give it to us,” Del Toro offered. “It’s a little beyond Kickstarter,” he laughed. “But you know, Ron is no spring chicken, so we’d better get to it before Hellboy has to do everything from a Barcalounger.”

Regarding a new director for Justice League Dark or whether the movie is still moving forward is unknown, but with Guillermo del Toro stating it was to film at the same time as Pacific Rim 2, we can guess the two movies have similar release dates, so JLD may have originally had a Summer of 2017 release date (Pacific Rim 2 hits August 4, 2017 and starts filming in the Fall).

Jim Starlin May Have Teased Adam Warlock For Avengers: Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21412:]]

Jim Starlin previously let the cat out of the bag when he confirmed Thanos in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Now Jim Starlin has taken to his Facebook page to possibly provide a little more insight into the Marvel Cosmic Cinematic Universe — or maybe not.

A recent casting call for The Avengers: Infinity War – Part one mentioned a plot that would see Adam Warlock’s bad side – The Magus – brought into the picture, but the information made no specific mention that Adam Warlock would appear in the film.

Starlin, who brought Adam Warlock and The Magus to the forefront of Marvel Comics in the ’70s, acknowledged an article on the subject on Facebook with: 

The Magus in the Infinity War Movie but no Adam Warlock? That would be weird.

It should be noted that Starlin didn’t state Adam Warlock is in The Avengers: Infinity War –– just that it would be “weird” without him.

Again, it’s just speculation, which comes with a lot of hope.

It could even be possible we’ll see Adam Warlock introduced in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy 2 prior to The Avengers 3, which leads to The Magus.

Cross your fingers, guys.

You can pick up Jim Starlin’s latest Marvel OGN, which features Adam Warlock and Thanos, “Infinity Relativity,” at comic shops or on Amazon at a discount.

Amy Schumer Upsets Star Wars Fans Causing Disney To Respond

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21410:]]

The latest issue of GQ Magazine features comic actress Amy Schumer depicted in various sexual poses with Star Wars characters.

Schumer, who wrote and is currently starring in Trainwreck, is shown with C3PO’s finger in her mouth on the cover of the magazine as well as inside with a lightsaber in her mouth and naked in bed with R2-D2 and C3PO.

Fans have taken to Twitter to voice their dissent, which has caused Disney to officially respond.

“I can’t believe Disney and Star Wars are allowing GQ Magazine to do this DISTASTEFUL Star Wars spread. Shame on all of you,” one Star Wars fans tweeted.

It turns out, Disney LucasFilm didn’t approve of the photo shoot.

“Lucasfilm and Disney did not authorize, participate in or condone the inappropriate use of our characters in this manner,” the official Star Wars Twitter account replied.

Apparently, GQ was able to do the Amy Schumer Star Wars photo shoot without permission because it’s considered a parody, which is allowed by copyright law.

Ant-Man Spoiler Is Going To Be A Big Part Of Upcoming Movie

Warning: Spoilers for Ant-Man follow.

The Ant-Man mid-credit scene showed Hank Pym giving Hope the Wasp costume.

Yahoo caught up with Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige and asked about the future of Wasp.

“It’s going to be certainly a part of our Phase 3,” Feige said. “It is going to be a very important moment, and — spoiler alert! — we see that suit for the first time, and her father now is finally giving it to her and realizes that he can’t hold her back from what is essentially her destiny. It’s going to be a very big part of one of our upcoming films.”

The video also sees Ant-Man director Peyton Reed talking about the Falcon scene.

“The kid in me loved it, because that’s what I loved in the Marvel comics,” Reed offeres. “It’s like, okay, this character has these powers, and this one has this, and what happens if they go up against each other? Scott is clearly not prepared for what he’s about to come up against, but he really, at the last minute, makes some very smart tactical decisions,” Reed said of the battle. “And that was really fun — sort of, who’s going to get what licks in this fight?”

“Ant-Man” is now in theaters starring Michael Douglas as Hank Pym, Paul Rudd as Scott Lang, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne and Corey Stoll as Darren Cross/Yellowjacket.

Synopsis:

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Grant Morrison Not A Fan Of Batman Vs. Superman’s Wonder Woman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21408:]]

Grant Morrison, the prolific DC Comics writer behind the likes of All-Star Superman and Batman, is writing the Wonder Woman: Earth One original graphic novel in which he tells the Nerdist he doesn’t like the latest Batman Vs. Superman trailer that features Wonder Woman.

Morrison remarks, the creator of Wonder Woman William Marston’s “original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood-curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it’s all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera. Marston’s Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist.”

Morrison also insinuates that an advanced society shouldn’t be violent as he questions: “What would a society of immortal women that’s been around for 7,000 years have done?”

His answer: “They wouldn’t still be chopping men’s head’s off; they’ve got art and architecture and philosophy and poetry and it’s got nothing to do with men.”

I have to say, I don’t agree with what Morrison is insinuating as, for one, we actually haven’t seen the Batman Vs. Superman movie, so we don’t know why Wonder Woman is actually fighting. My question to Morrison would be: What would an advance society do that’s being attacked and/or forced to defend themselves? Sit around and paint? I would argue an advanced society would actually have evolved warfare to the point where it’s most efficient and lethal. So if the Amazons were hand-to-hand combatants, they would obviously be the best at it. 

I also have to take issue with Morrison insinuating that men are violent and the cause of violence. That’s just not true. Women can be just as violent as men.

Here’s the blurb from the interview:

It’s finished now and it’ll be coming out soon. I sat down and I thought, “I don’t want to do this warrior woman thing.” I can understand why they’re doing it, I get all that, but that’s not what [Wonder Woman creator] William Marston wanted, that’s not what he wanted at all! His original concept for Wonder Woman was an answer to comics that he thought were filled with images of blood-curdling masculinity, and you see the latest shots of Gal Gadot in the costume, and it’s all sword and shield and her snarling at the camera. Marston’s Diana was a doctor, a healer, a scientist. So I went back to those roots and just built it up again.

They wouldn’t still be chopping men’s head’s off; they’ve got art and architecture and philosophy and poetry and it’s got nothing to do with men. So Yanick Paquette did this amazing design job, where there are no phallic objects. The only phallic objects are like these Greek towers that are almost like this haunting echo of the culture they came from.

Wonder Woman’s Invisible Plane is now shaped like a vagina, it’s the most incredible thing. It opens up in the back and it has a little clitoris hood, everything is a female-based design. It’s all based on shells and natural stuff. He’s created this entire newly designed world for the Amazons. And for the first 48 pages, there are no men — it’s just women talking to each other. And then halfway through the book, we’re building up to this big fight, and then I thought, “No, I’m not.” This book isn’t about fights, there’s not going to be any fights. So we threw out the rules of traditional boy’s adventure fiction. It’s the most exciting book I’ve done in years, it changed everything I’m thinking about the future.

New Oscar Isaac Apocalypse Image

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21407:]]

Take a new look at Oscar Isaac above as Apocalypse from X-Men: Apocalypse.

EW debuted the image along with the following details:

Plot:

Apocalypse is unearthed after 5,000 years and recruits four mutants—Magneto (Michael Fassbender), Psylocke (Olivia Munn), Storm (Alexandra Shipp) and Angel (Ben Hardy)—to reboot the world through destruction.

Oscar Isaac talking comics:

 “I grew up reading the comics and I actually collected X Factor when I was younger and that was when Apocalypse first showed up,” the actor told EW on the set of Apocalypse. “And I was particularly freaked out with like the second coming and the end of the world, the apocalypse, so when there was a character that embodied that, and even from Sunday school, I remember the four horsemen and all that kind of imagery that’s still to this day some of the scariest imagery I can think of.”  

On the look of Apocalypse:

“We had to do some adjustments here and there and be like, alright, maybe this is too alien,” says Isaac, who endures two hours of makeup for the look. “He also is someone who people would want to follow and not just be terrified of. So the balance, and then making sure that there’s some great elements from the comic but also making our own thing as well. In the comic, he generally is like 12 feet, 600 pounds.”

Teases a big final battle:

 “I mean that last battle is going to be pretty insane. I mean, it’s like freaking Apocalypse fighting all of the X-Men. It’s pretty cool.”

“X-Men: Apocalypse” has a May 27, 2016 release directed by Bryan Singer starring Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Ian McKellen, Rose Byrne, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp and Oscar Isaac.

Godzilla Video Game Launch Trailer

The new Godzilla video game is now available.

Check out the launch trailer above.

You can purchase the game on Amazon as well.

Rampage, Despair, Destruction, Annihilation: this is today’s menu for everyone! Lay waste to cities and destroy everything in your path in Godzilla, releasing today on PS3 and PS4! Meet your foes like the eternal enemies Mothra, King Ghidorah and many others! Let us hear the roar of the King of Monsters! 

Info:

In 1954, the waters off the coast of Japan churned to life as a massive, lumbering monster emerged from the deep. Godzilla came ashore and wreaked havoc on the cities and was dubbed the King of the Monsters. During this time, scientists studied the beast and discovered they could harness his energy — called G-Energy. This seeminglyendless source of power was channeled to make the lives of mankind better. However, 60 years later, as the G-Energy has been used to improve civilization, it is causing the beast to awaken. Godzilla is in search of more G-Energy, and as a consequence, he’s destroying at will. What will happen if Godzilla consumes all of the G-Energy? Does mankind stand a chance against the King of the Monsters?

Unleash complete and utter destruction as the most feared monster — Godzilla. Rise from your slumber to smash and bash your way through various stages to take out the Energy Generator. Maximize your G-Energy in each stage by annihilating buildings and structures. Beware as with each edifice you eliminate the Hazard Level rises, and can bring out other legendary monsters to battle. Collect G-Energy in each stage to enhance your Godzilla — grow him from 50 to 100 meters tall, improve his defensive and offensive skills, power-up his heat ray and learn new abilities. Build the scene of your dreams to let the monster loose on with Diorama mode, or put your skills to the test in a time trial of destruction with King of Monsters mode. Enjoy a unique look at the chaos with the movie-style camera angle system, which switches the camera view to presetlocations around the map. Are you ready to lay waste to cities in ways you’ve only imagined?

Features:

Become the King of the Monsters, Godzilla, when you awake after 60 years of dormancy

Search for G-Energy — a seemingly endless source of power that channels the beast, while simultaneously helping make people’s lives better

Use your massive size and unbelievable power to smash and bash through more than 20 stages to take out the Energy Generator in Mission mode

Unleash powerful destruction by obliterating as many buildings as possible to maximize your G-Energy, but beware — the more structures you wipe out, the higher the Hazard Level rises — which can cause other iconic monsters to battle

Play as the classic Godzilla or the 2014 Hollywood version, and battle against a monstrous cast of legendary beasts

Choose to view the action with the special movie-style camera angle system that switches the camera to preset locations on the map and allows you to jump to the camera points and control Godzilla just like in the movies

Grow Godzilla from 50 to 100 meters tall by collecting G-Energy in each stage to power-up the monster, and learn new skills, power-up his heat ray and increase his defensive and offensive skills as well

Construct the Godzilla scene that you’ve always imagined in Diorama mode

Put your skills to the test in a time trial of chaos in King of Monsters mode

The Dark Knight Rises Murderer Found Guilty

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21405:]]

Three years ago James Holmes entered and shot up a Denver suburban theater that was playing The Dark Knight Rises which led to the deaths of 12 people while wounding 70 others.

Today saw Holmes convicted of first degree murder and attempted murder, with the jury rejecting his insanity defense, which means Holmes is eligible for the death penalty.

The massacre occurred July 20, 2012 in Aurora, Colorado during Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film having just premiered. Holmes, dressed in all-black, wearing a bullet proof vest, entered the theater through an emergency door and proceeded to open fire on the audience. Upon his capture, Holmes referred to himself as The Joker, with his hair painted red.

Holmes’ defense was going for an insanity plea, but the jury saw otherwise as the first guilty verdict was announced followed by the judge reading off the verdicts on the other 165 guility counts as well as polling the jurors individually.

USA Today reports upon hearing the verdict, families of the victims let out a tense, excited sigh, with some nodding, crying and pumping their fists quietly.

Days following the attack, Christian Bale visited and consoled the victims and their families.

Watch: Ezra Miller Talks The Flash; Mentions Parallel Universe With TV

Do we have our first confirmation of  DC movie/TV multiverse?

Maybe not, but watch the video above of the DCCU Flash Ezra Miller talking how excited he is about playing Barry Allen where he’s questioned about watching the TV Flash. Miller responds rather enthusiastically that he thinks the TV series is “awesome” and “it’s parallel universes.”

Here are some of the highlights:

On The Flash:

Barry Allen is the hero of the Silver Age who follows a lot of really interesting discoveries in physics. Where he comes from, we figured out the Event Horizon was there, and he was the character who was created through our mythos machine of comic books to break that Event Horizon, so we could explore in fantasy… I think that’s an interesting idea, and what’s an interesting idea to me is, ‘What the f**k does that do to someone?’

Talks about Zack Snyder:

Zack got on the phone and said some stuff. I was pretty quickly sold.

The Flash TV Series:

I’m not avoiding it. I’m not avoiding it at all. I think it’s awesome! C’mon, we’re The Flash! It’s parallel universes! Grant Gustin is The Flash AND I’m The Flash, don’t you see? It’s the Event Horizon, we crossed it baby! Grant and I are chillin’, we’re gonna have a race, it’s gonna be dope. Like Jay Garrick and Barry Allen back in the day. It’s going to be dope!

On reading comics:

I’ve been a comic guy, but I’m going in as hard as possible because I have a serious excuse to. I have the ultimate license to geek out SO HARD all the time! Do you understand what I’m going through?!

“The Flash” movie has a 2018 release.

Here’s a peek at Barry Allen concept art that was shown of at Comic-Con along with Green Lantern Corps:

The episode will be available on Wednesday, July 22nd on the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and will be coming to compatible iOS devices via the App Store and to Android-based devices on Thursday, July 23rd. 

The game series is based on the world, characters and events seen in HBO’s TV show, which in turn is based on George R. R. Martin’s books (“A Song of Ice and Fire”). The events in the game series begin towards the end of Season Three of the series, and end right before the beginning of Season Five. Players will visit familiar locations such as King’s Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester. 

The game is played from five different points of view. Each is a member of House Forrester; either a direct family member, or a person in service to the House. Scattered across Westeros and Essos, each will play their part in seeking to save House Forrester from destruction. 

In this penultimate episode of the season, the actions of every Forrester are vital to the survival of the house. Rodrik’s alliance with House Glenmore, and his defiance of the Whitehills, has drawn the ire of an even greater threat: Ramsay Snow. Far across the Narrow Sea in Essos, with Meereen now a free city, Asher is close to securing the army he desperately needs to return home, and save his family. In King’s Landing, Mira’s activities at Tommen’s coronation have not escaped the attention of Margaery Tyrell, and Cersei has realized that the handmaiden may prove useful in her political games. Finally, beyond the Wall, Gared’s unlikely allies are reluctant to help in the search for the North Grove… but this far into the frozen wilds, Crows and Free Folk have a common enemy; and winter is coming. 

Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series – Episode 5: ‘A Nest of Vipers’ is rated ‘M’ (Mature) for Intense Violence, Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, and Strong Language by the ESRB. Future content in the series is yet to be rated by the ESRB.

Apocalypse Twitter Reactions

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21399:]]

Maybe Marvel CEO billionaire extraordinaire Ike Perlmutter was on to something when he cancelled Fox Marvel merchandise and put the kibosh on the comics. It’s not unfathomable to think that Perlmutter has inside info in regards to the Marvel Fox properties – X-Men and Fantastic Four – so it’s possible when he learned just how potentially bad Fox is using the Marvel characters, he decided to stop promoting them.

Case in point is the recently released X-Men: Apocalypse images which reveal Apocalypse as Ivan Ooze, the Power Rangers villain.

Case in point #2 would be the Fantastic Four‘s Thing without a costume and seemingly naked (or minus any male parts).

What’s that? Deadpool, you ask? Deadpool is a success (so far) because the Fox executives don’t/didn’t really care about it, gave it a small budget, and let Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds do whatever they basically wanted to do. However, that might all change when Deadpool becomes a success. Just keep Singer away from it, and Deadpool might stand a chance.

It turns out I’m not the only one that is horrified by the Apocalypse design. Let’s head to the land of the trolls for more reactions.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21396:]]

While it doesn’t exactly confirm Spider-Man appearing in Daredevil – or vice versa – it’s still cool to see Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal hanging out together.

The new Spidey and Punisher are actually starring together in the upcoming movie Pilgrimage, which takes place in 13th century Ireland and sees a group of monks escorting a sacred relic across an Irish landscape fraught with peril. 

Holland plays “The Novice,” with Bernthal as “The Mute.”

More than likely the two talked Marvel shop as Tom Holland will be playing Spider-Man on the big screen in Captain America: Civil War, and Jon Bernthal will be battling Daredevil in the Netflix series for Season 2.

“Had an amazing time hanging with this guy,” Holland posted on Instagram. “Much love brother.”

Ryan Reynolds Wants Deadpool & Cable X-Force Movie (Video)

Hopefully when Fox finally realizes how big Deadpool is we will get a lot more of the Merc With The Mouth.

A while back there was talk of an X-Force movie, but the film seems to have been swept under the rug, at least for the time being.

Now while appearing at Comic-Con, Ryan Reynolds is asked about a crossover between Deadpool and the X-Men, where the actor states he would like to see an X-Force movie.

“I feel so bad for them if we do that,” Reynolds responds with a laugh to Yahoo when asked if we’ll ever see Deadpool crossover with the X-Men. “It’s a tough transition, but I know there is a plan. I personally would love to see an X-Force film brought to the forefront. I think that’s a great way to expand that universe–the Deadpool universe a little bit. [It] also introduces Cable and all these other great characters that come along with that.”

Reynolds continues with mention Deadpool appearing in an X-Men movie would need to be done carefully.

“As far as [Deadpool] just showing up in an X-Men movie, I don’t know. It’s totally doable, you just have to be careful about how meta you are in those moments. He’s aware that he’s in a comic book, he’s aware that he’s played by another person. So you just have to be kind of careful how you do it, but I don’t see why not.”

“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.
