The latest spot for Ant-Man features an Avengers connection in that the movie features Falcon played by Anthony Mackie.
There has been some negative reaction online about Marvel spoiling the surprise cameo, but it’s obvious Marvel wants to connect Ant-Man to The Avengers for box office ticket sales purposes.
Check out the clip above.
“Ant-Man” has a July 17, 2015 release directed by Peyton Reed 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.
While appearing at Comic-Con, the cast of Fantastic Four lets it be known there is no post-credit scene for the movie.
“No we don’t. There’s no post-credit sequence,” Jamie Bell confirmed, who plays The Thing.
Bell did comment that the film “leaves the door wide open for a lot of different movies,” adding: “I think this movie really focuses on the origins of each character indiviually, how they get their powers, how they learn to deal with them, how they learn to harness them, how they figure out they are the strong as four than they are as individuals, and that is kind of where the movie ends, and there is so much more to go from there, and it leaves the door open.”
“Fantastic Four” has an August 7, 2015 release directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank; produced by Matthew Vaughn, Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzar and Gregory Goodman; starring: Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell.

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

Olivia Munn and the cast of X-Men: Apocalypse appeared on Conan O’Brien where Munn confirmed her Psylocke costume looks like the comic book version albeit a little smaller in the “top” and “bottom.”
However, cast mate James McCoy quickly adds Olivia Munn is lubed with KY Jelly to fit into her Psylocke costume.

It looks as if the sequel to The Wolverine will be Old Man Logan.
Following the Fox Fantastic Four and Deadpool panels (sorry, trailers are not online as of yet) at Comic-Con, Fox showed an X-Men sizzle reel which ended with Hugh Jackman’s first audition reel.
Jackman then came out on stage stating: “I’ve got three words for you guys – Old Man Logan. Read into that what you will.”
Jackman than introduced Bryan Singer who stated he’s busy working on X-Men: Apocalypse.
James Mangold is also confirmed to be directing the Old Man Logan Wolverine movie, which hits in 2017.

Check out footage from the Batman Vs. Superman panel at Comic-Con featuring Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Holly Hunter and Jeremy Irons.
WB dropped:
• the new Batman Vs. Superman trailer
• new Batman Vs. Superman poster
• participated in an autograph session
“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 and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. 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.
With Marvel and Sony rebooting Spider-Man, Denis Leary reveals potential details for what could have been for Amazing Spider-Man 3, which sounds like something more out of The Walking Dead.
Leary tells IGN that Spider-Man would have created some kind of formula that brought people back from the dead.
Possibly in 3, there was this idea at one point that Spider-Man would be able to take this formula and regenerate the people in his life that had died. So, there was this discussion that Captain Stacy would come back even bigger in episode 3.
While it could be zombies, possibly the story may have connected to Morbius the Living Vampire in some way?
Marc Webb also recently commented on the Spider-Man reboot offering he would have liked to use The Gentleman and Venom.
Tom Holland will be the new Marvel Spider-Man speculated to first appear in Captain America: Civil War next May, and the Spider-Man reboot follows in 2017 directed by Jon Watts.
Details leaked earlier about a planned Batman Vs. Superman autograph session on the floor of Comic-Con, now check out some pics of the cast that participated including Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg and Jeremy Irons in addition to director Zack Snyder.
A new trailer and posters have also been released.

Update: Concept art and leaked footage has hit the net.
WB revealed at Comic-Con that the title of the new Green Lantern movie will be “Green Lantern Corps.”
At their big Hall H presentation earlier today in Hall H, Warner Bros. played a video on the big screens surrounding the audience that featured their upcoming slate of movies with Green Lantern Corps among them.
The video also featured various concept art and logos for the films which included:
• Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
• Suicide Squad
• Wonder Woman
• Justice League 1 & 2
• The Flash
• Aquaman
• Cyborg
• Green Lantern Corps
Previous rumors mentioned that WB was looking at using multiple Green Lanterns for the reboot, which this reveal looks to have confirmed.
The Green Lantern Corps movie has a 2020 release date, but most likely we’ll get a first look at the GLC in the Justice League movie (it would be pretty awesome if the GLC was involved in some sort of war which would explain their absence during Man of Steel).

Guillermo Del Toro is at Comic-Con where he offered an update on filming Pacific Rim 2, and now talks about Star Wars.
Del Toro tells Yahoo that he would love to do a Jabba The Hut Star Wars origin movie.
“This is not real, this is me as a fat geek just geeking out and talking about it,” del Toro told Yahoo Movies on Friday, cautious to make sure he didn’t create some very false rumors. “I would do the sort of Godfather saga that Jabba the Hutt had to go through to gain control. One, because it’s the character that looks the most like me, and I like him. I love the idea of a Hutt type of mafia, a very complex coup. I just love the character.”
Speaking of Star Wars, Josh Holloway recently stated he would love to play Han Solo as well.

It’s learned Pacific Rim 2 starts filming this Fall.
Yahoo caught up with director Guillermo del Toro who let it be known shooting begins in November.
Plot details aren’t specific, but it’s said Pacific Rim 2 picks up a few years following the first one, with the report mentioning it will have a sharper focus on the monstrous kaiju.
Guillermo Del Toro confirmed a huge end scene for the movie, and that they are in the middle of designing the new robots and kaiju for the sequel.
“We have an epic battle at the end [that] we started designing a couple weeks ago,” Guillermo Del Toro said.
“It’s a few years after the first one,” Del Toro stated in a previous interview. “It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump.”
It’s also said it’s unknown whether Charlie Hunnam will be back as Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket, but with filming to start soon, expect casting announcements to be made in the coming months.
Pacific Rim 2 has an August 4, 2017 release date.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21324:]]
It’s learned that Fox has cancelled plans to convert Fantastic Four to 3D.
Following early promotions that listed RealD 3D on the footage, it’s now been confirmed by Josh Trank that Fantastic Four will only be in 2D.
I want the viewing experience of Fantastic Four to remain as pure as possible for the audience, which means in 2D, just as we shot the movie.”
As the UK’s Final Reel notes, there was actually an earlier rumor that Fox scrapped plans to convert Fantastic Four into 3D because of budget restraints that saw the money used for reshoots, with it also rumored that Simon Kinberg filmed the re-shoots due to problems with Trank while filming FF.
“Fantastic Four” has an August 7, 2015 release directed by Josh Trank from a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg and Josh Trank; produced by Matthew Vaughn, Simon Kinberg, Hutch Parker, Robert Kulzar and Gregory Goodman; starring: Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell.
Synopsis:
FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
Trailer:
An image of the final look of Nicholas Cage in his Superman Lives costumes has surfaced online, and ten minutes of the new documentary has been released exploring the film with The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened? which is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD and can be found at booth #3915 at Comic-Con.
Info:
The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? is a Feature Length Documentary about the unmade movie “Superman Lives”. This film, out of all the various attempts to make a Superman movie between 1987 and 2006, would have stood the test of time and become a bonafide Cult Classic nowadays. I am not alone with my intense interest in knowing everything I can about this project, and so now I’m embarking on making a Documentary that will cover everything ever made for this film, from interviewing as many people as I can who were involved, to including actually recreating scenes from the script!!!

Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion?
