Josh Holloway Wants To Play Han Solo

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21311:]]

With a Han Solo movie in development, Josh Holloway let’s it be known he would love to play the character.

Yahoo spoke with Holloway, who happens to be a big Han Solo fan with even his Lost character having dropped Solo-esque wisecrack remarks.

“Damn. I’d love to do it. I love Han Solo,” Holloway said. “They’d never ask me, but I’d love to be Han Solo.

“You know, I got to arrest Han Solo in a movie once,” Holloway said, referencing 2013’s Paranoia. “I grabbed him, pulled his hands behind his back, cuffed him. He turned around and said to me, ‘You’re losing it, boy.’ Then I stuffed him in a car. But that might be as close as I get to Han Solo.”

The Star Wars Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, executive produced by Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin and co-produced by Will Allegra, with a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan.

Watch: Marc Webb Reacts To Marvel’s Spider-Man Reboot

MTV caught up with Marc Webb, director of the Amazing Spider-Man movies to get his thoughts on the Marvel reboot.

Webb says above that he is really psyched for Spider-Man to return to Marvel and that it’s super exciting, but at the same time kind of sad because he has to surrender the character to someone else.

Marc Webb also said he’s curious to see how the new Spider-Man evolves and can’t wait for it to come out.

Regarding what-could-have-been, Webb  offers it would have been fun to play out the character of The Gentleman who was going to be responsible for getting the Sinister Six together, and he would have liked to use Venom.

Comic-Con: Ron Perlman Says He Wants Hellboy 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21301:]]

Ron Perlman has been teasing fans on social networks with mention of Hellboy 3.

Now while attending the Comic-Con panel for the Amazon series Hand Of God, Perlman lets it be known he definitely wants to complete the Trilogy.

“If there’s a real honesty to fan-culture relationships, we owe the world the finale of Hellboy,” Perlman told the audience, reports Deadline. “We set up the whole film. It’s a deal we made (with fans). I don’t want to do Hellboy IV or V. I want to finish the f-cking trilogy!”

Perlman also acknolwedged his first tweet wasn’t a confirmation of Hellboy 3 as he had to “call studio executives to apologize,” but Perlman did note there’s been some talk with the Hellboy‘s director Guillermo del Toro, but nothing concrete.

Perlman offered the direction he thought Hellboy 3 should go with his character becoming the beast of the Apocalypse so that he can vanquish the foe in the third film — in order to defend humanity, Hellboy has to become a darker character.

Watch: Joe Quesada Says The Spider-Man Costume Is Awesome

Check out video above of Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada talking about his job at Marvel as well as Spider-Man.

Quesada says he has seen the new Spider-Man costume, which will be worn by Tom Holland.

“It’s awesome,” Quesada said. “It looks awesome.

“I’ve seen a lot of design work that’s been done on the costume. I think there are elements of it that are really going to blow people away where they are going to go ‘that’s Marvel doing Spider-Man,” Quesada said.

Quesada wouldn’t confirm if the costume is a new or traditional approach to the Spider-Man look or if Holland will use web-shooters.

“You’re trying to trick me. It’s not going to work. I’ve played this game before,” Quesada laughed. “Things will be revealed as they are meant to be revealed.”

Joe Quesada continued with mention of how exciting it is to have Spider-Man back in the MCU.

“It’s Spider-Man. What’s not exciting about that? I can’t imagine there’s a person on the planet Earth that can’t relate to some aspect of Spider-Man or Peter Parker, and he is for all intents and purposes, he is Marvel’s Mickey Mouse. He is the icon of so much of what we have was built upon, so to create that movie along with our Sony partners it’s phenomenally exciting. I know Kevin Feige and his team have some great ideas. Some wonderful theories that we’ve all chimed in on.”

The new Spider-Man movie has a July 28, 2017 release and is expected to first appear in “Captain America: Civil War” next May.

Watch: Nicole Perlman Talks Guardians of the Galaxy & Captain Marvel

Check out video above of Nicole Perlman talking Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Perlman is on board writing the Captain Marvel movie in which she says it’s currently in the brainstorming stage.

Regarding Guardians of the Galaxy, Perlman recounts how she got involved with writing the first version of the script. Perlman was a part of a Marvel writing program back in 2009 in which Marvel told the writers to develop lesser known properties.

A new Gamora comic book series is also in the works from Perlman which is set prior to Gamora joining the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

Here are some highlights:

They gave us a list of lesser known properties and said ‘choose one of these and you will be developing it for a couple of years by yourself.’ So we said ‘okay’ and everybody chose one. The one I chose was Guardians, which I got a lot of funny looks about because it was the least well known property on the list. 

I was originally drawn to the first group of Guardians. I thought there’s something really cool about Vance Astro and the whole idea about being temporally dislocated, but I loved the 2008 Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning reboot of the series. It just had so much color and sarcasm, and that was something that the producers were excited about as well.

I tried a lot of different versions of which Guardians to include in the story, but the ones that ended up in the movie are the ones that we decided fulfilled all the best parts of that team. We’re encapsulated by those guys.

Rocket Raccoon was a late addition. I’m really glad we put him in. He was very much on the fence for a while. I loved him, and Kevin loved him. There was some back and forth, and he made it in. Thank goodness.

With Quill we changed his backstory fairly significantly because we didn’t want him to start out too noble at the beginning and be doing this for noble reasons. We wanted him to be a bit of a scoundrel.

Watch the Comic-Con trailer for Extant above, which stars Halle Berry.

Berry also fielded a question in regards to doing a Storm movie, in which she told Comic-Con attendees she would be all up for it.

“Absolutely,” Berry replied when asked about a potential Storm movie. “Fans have to tell Fox that that’s what they want to have happen!”

Halle Berry played Storm three times in the X-Men movies, and with there already being standalone movies for Wolverine, Deadpool and Gambit, it’s possible something could be done down the road with Storm; however, whether Halle Berry is still involved remains to be seen as Bryan Singer recently hinted at an X-Men reboot.

Wesley Snipes Would Do Another Blade

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21292:]]

Wesley Snipes is currently at Comic-Con for his new TV series The Player where the actor also let it be known he is interested in doing another Blade movie.

Deadline spoke with Snipes who stated there have been talks.

The project is controlled by Marvel and we did have a really productive and a wonderful meeting and we discussed a number of things. I don’t know where it’s on their schedule at this point, that hasn’t been decided. I guess it’s still up in the air.

Wesley Snipes also says another potential Marvel role could be seen some time down the road.

That’s a possibility too. I’ve always been a fan of these pieces and adaptations and I’d be nice to be a part of the family again. But if we don’t to a Blade 4 or something else with Marvel, we’ll do something else. We have some other characters and some other concepts that are going to be just as exciting and hopefully just as successful. The first season of The Player will be interesting as well because we have drama and action, which is what I like. It gives me a chance to do a number of different things.

Snipes also comments on whether the “tide is turning” with there being more African-American superheroes, such as Marvel’s Falcon and Black Panther.

I don’t know. It’s takes more than one situation to make it a trend. One wouldn’t qualify it as a trend or a real shift in the tides yet. We’ll have to see how well the films do and how well the characters are presented. Clearly there’s an audience for it, both domestically and internationally. And I know that only a few guys can do this, so it’s kind of hard. Not everybody can do the comic book adaptation thing and make it believable. It is challenging.

Blade kicked off in 1998 and became a billion dollar franchise, and with Doctor Strange being the start of the supernatural side of the MCU, perhaps there is room for more of Snipes as the vampire hunting superhero.

In the moments right before her death, the QUEEN curses KAULDER with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Today KAULDER is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to KAULDER, the QUEEN WITCH is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.
