Zack Snyder & Henry Cavill Talk Man of Steel Sequel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21237:]]

While WB chose to go with Batman Vs. Superman as the next movie following Man of Steel, in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Zack Snyder talks about the potential villains they may have used if they went with a direct Superman sequel.

“I remember we were talking about, ‘What’s the next ­villain?’” Snyder offered. “We can’t do another alien invasion. Brainiac was definitely down the road. Metallo, I think, was going to be the main bad guy of this movie.”

Snyder even said he had an idea for an end-of-the-movie-scene for Man of Steel that involved Kryptonite and Wayne Manor that he told to both Christopher Nolan and David Goyer.

“I said, ‘What about at the end of the movie we do a scene where there’s a crate full of kryptonite delivered to Wayne Manor,’” Snyder said. “Everyone was like… ‘Okaay.’ Once you say it out loud it’s a problem because you can’t unsay it.”

Of course, Lex was on the table for the Man of Steel sequel as well, and Jesse Eisenberg is playing the character in Batman Vs. Superman.

“We did talk about Lex right away,” Snyder said. “I think Lex was always on the books.”

Regarding future Superman movies and Man of Steel sequels, Herny Cavill said he is pretty optimistic about the possibility.

“There’s plenty of time for individual Superman sequels,” Cavill said. “He’s a tough character to tell. People like the darker vigilante. I think it speaks to the human psyche more easily rather than the god-like being that we can’t really understand. Once we have a more expansive universe we can delve more into the character of Superman and hopefully tell more stories.”

“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.

James Gunn Explains Why Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 For Title

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21229:]]

Kevin Feige recently let it slip that the title for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

James Gunn recently spoke about the title on on Facebook offering reasons as to why they went with “Vol. 2” as the official title.

Yes, the official title of the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

Kevin Feige recently let the title slip while doing Ant-Man press, which I’m really happy about because God knows I’ve let more than one thing slip accidentally while chattering away on this FB page.

Also, hats off to some intrepid fans who figured out the title a couple of days after I posted the cover page. More than one person guessed “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” – I wanted so badly to give you props at the time, but knew I had to wait.

For Kevin to mess up. Haha.

And:

Yeah, I came up with a LOT of titles for Vol. 2. But because “Guardians of the Galaxy” is already so wordy, it seemed strange to add another bunch of words after it. I liked Vol. 2 the best, so that’s what I stuck on the cover of the screenplay – and, fortunately, the guys liked it.

Gunn also offered on Facebook that he isn’t sure if Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be at the D23 Expo in August, and that Marvel hasn’t placed any storyline obligations on him for the movie.

While answering questions in regards to more of Nebula/Thanos, and the possibility of any of the Vell (i.e Mar-Vell) family being a part of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Gunn responded with:

Marvel Launches Viral WHIH News Channel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21227:]]

The character of Christine Everhart, from Iron Man and Iron Man 2, returns in the form of a recently launched viral “news” network for Marvel.

WHIH News Twitter and YouTube sites have been launched.

The first promo is in regards to the Ant-Man movie, with a second tweet in regards to a 4th of July fireworks celebration at Avengers Tower.

In the Marvel comics, Christine Everhart was actually a reporter for the Daily Bugle, while in the Iron Man movies Everhart worked for Vanity Fair (played by Leslie Bibbs).

It’s possible the WHIH promotion could stick around and be used to connect various Marvel movie and TV events.

“Ant-Man” hits July 17th.

Avengers X-Men Movie Rumored For 2020 From Marvel & Fox

Avengers X-Men Movie Rumored For 2020 From Marvel & Fox


(fan art)
 

We’re not sure how legit this rumor is, but it’s being said Marvel and Fox Studios are mending their relationship and are planning an Avengers / X-Men movie for 2020.

The rumor comes from the Pete’s Basement Facebook page via Mikey Sutton on FB.

“Marvel and Fox are in the process of making up!!!” the post reads. “They are currently bringing a movie to us by 2020. The movie would feature the Avengers and X-Men.”

In the comments following the post, fans questioned the legitamacy of the information, with Pete’s Basement offering up that Mikey Sutton, owner of Paper Cuts in Seattle Washington, is their source.

Sutton followed up by posting he thinks the big announcement will be made at next year’s Comic-Con as the deal is still going through.

“Won’t be public until the deal is done,” Sutton offered. “Have a feeling they’ll drop it in San Diego next year.”

Marvel and Fox have been reportedly at odds over the film rights to the Fox-owned Marvel characters (Wolverine, X-Men, Deadpool, Fantastic Four), with Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter even going so far as to order the cancellation of the Marvel comics containing the characters as well as not having Disney produce Fox character merchandise.

Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige stated about a year and a half ago that anything’s possible when questioned about an Avengers /  X-Men movie. 

“So I would say not anytime soon… Would we be in a position to team up with other studios that have a few of our characters, because we have so many characters ourselves?  But I would never say never,” Feige said.

Likewise, at one point, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner stated she would be up for a crossover between the two franchises as well.

“I would love it. I would love it,” Donner said. “I personally have close ties to Marvel because of Kevin Feige, because Kevin worked for me. But to take our characters and mingle them in the way that they were written, yeah, absolutely.”

Marvel did recently come to a deal with Sony to have Spider-Man featured in their movies, so as Feige stated above, a potential Marvel/Fox relationship can’t be totally ruled out.

The Marvel Experience Is Cancelled & Closing

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21220:]]

And that’s all she wrote for The Marvel Experience.

It’s announced Disney’s travelling theme park, The Marvel Experience, has closed following its Philadelphia run.

Planned stops for Chicago, NYC and St. Louis have been cancelled and refunds will be given.

No specific reasons were given as to why The Marvel Experience was cancelled, but it’s thought in part due to high costs.

Another issue seemed to be the lackluster exhibits/events The Marvel Experience offered as many reviews can be found online that stated how much fans disliked it such as on Reddit and other sites.

About:

The Marvel Experience is a “first-person” Super Hero adventure in which audiences step into the Marvel Universe to become a part of the story and the action. Innovative tour elements include a one-of-a-kind, traveling dome complex the size of two football fields developed exclusively by Hero Ventures. In addition to the 4D motion ride and 3D animated features, other components will include digitally projected animation, motion-comic origin stories, virtual reality and holographic simulations, original merchandise and integrated social media touch points all carefully woven into the rich narrative story line.

New Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Images

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21214:]]

Check out four new images below from the Pride and Prejudice Zombies movie.

We also learn some story details:

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies recounts the unlikely romance between Lizzy (Lily James) and the haughty Mr. Darcy (Sam Riley), but the courtship takes place in a 19th-century English countryside where the “sorry stricken”—as the zombies are called in the book—have been roaming for more than 70 years, victims of a mysterious plague.

 “The idea was that it was Pride and Prejudice set in this alternate world and then for everyone to play it straight,” Steers explains. “The movie’s big wink is that there is no big wink.” That news may come as a shock to fans of the over-the-top Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the last Grahame-Smith book to get a big-screen adaptation. So brace yourselves, James says. “It’s definitely not camp.” 

(via EW)

Pride and Prejudice Zombies has a February 5, 2016 release directed by Burr Steers starring Lily James, Ellie Bamber, Millie Brady, Bella Heathcote, and Suki Waterhouse.

Watch: Nicolas Cage Superman Lives Test Footage

Check out a clip above from The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened? documentary featuring Nicolas Cage testing out the costume.

Cage was Tim Burton’s choice for the new Man Of Steel from the defunct Superman Lives ’90s movie.

The Death of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened? will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and video on demand on July 9 and 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!!!

Ava DuVernay Not Directing Black Panther Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21208:]]

Ava DuVernay will not be directing the Black Panther movie for Marvel Studios.

Following confirmation that the DuVernay was in talks with Marvel, the Selma director has now come out and stated it isn’t happening because they couldn’t come to an agreement.

“I’m not signing on to direct Black Panther. I think I’ll just say we had different ideas about what the story would be,” DuVernay told Essence. “Marvel has a certain way of doing things and I think they’re fantastic and a lot of people love what they do. I loved that they reached out to me.”

The Black Panther movie is due out July 6, 2018 starring Chadwick Bosemann who will first appear in Captain America: Civil War next May,

“I loved meeting Chadwick and writers and all the Marvel execs,” said DuVernay. “In the end, it comes down to story and perspective. And we just didn’t see eye to eye. Better for me to realize that now than cite creative differences later… I love the character of Black Panther, the nation of Wakanda and all that that could be visually. I wish them well and will be first in line to see it.”

Ava DuVernay isn’t the first director to mention creative differences with Marvel as Alan Taylor also recently stated working with Marvel was “wrenching,” and of course, Edgar Wright departing Ant-Man is well known example in addition to Patty Jenkins not directing Thor 2

Zack Snyder & Ben Affleck Defend Superman Killing & Man Of Steel Destruction

With Batman Vs. Superman coming to Comic-Con and the new images released, Zack Snyder’s take on Man of Steel is again being looked at as the end to the film was controversial for a lot of fans which saw Superman kill Zod.

Now as part of EW‘s Comic-Con coverage, both Snyder and Ben Affleck make their case why all the destruction in Metropolis makes sense.

Zack Snyder:

“I was surprised because that’s the thesis of Superman for me, that you can’t just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences,” says Snyder. The director says he had always intended for the dead to be counted. Indeed, Batman v Superman addresses these concerns head-on—Superman’s victims serve as Batman’s impetus to take him down.

 “There are other superhero movies where they joke about how basically no one’s getting hurt,” Snyder says. “That’s not us. What is that message? That’s it’s okay that there’s this massive destruction with zero consequence for anyone? That’s what Watchmen was about in a lot of ways too. There was a scene, that scene where Dan and Laurie get mugged. They beat up the criminals. I was like the first guy, I want to show his arm get broken. I want a compound fracture. I don’t want it to be clean. I want you to go, ‘Oh my God, I guess you’re right. If you just beat up a guy in an alley he’s not going to just be lying on the ground. It’s going to be messy.”

Ben Affleck:

“One of the things I liked was Zack’s idea of showing accountability and the consequences of violence and seeing that there are real people in those buildings,” says Ben Affleck, who plays Batman. “And in fact, one of those buildings was Bruce Wayne’s building so he knew people who died in that Black Zero event.”

“Deadpool is a hard R,” assures producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past). “It’s graphic. Nothing is taboo. You either commit to a truly outrageous boundary-pushing kind of movie or you don’t.”

First-time director Tim Miller, who designed the arresting open credits sequence for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, cites a different David Fincher movie as a touchstone: “I felt Fight Club and Tyler Durden were good corollaries,” he says. “We are in strip clubs and dive bars and crappy apartments and far away from the shiny X-Men world.”   

“Deadpool” has a February 12, 2016 release directed by Tim Miller starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano and Ed Skrein.

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.

Watch: Creed Trailer

Watch the trailer for the new Rocky movie, Creed, starring Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan.

Creed has a November 25, 2015 release.

Synopsis:

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures comes award-winning filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s “Creed.”  The film explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story and stars Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role.  The film also reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale Station” star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed.

Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born.  Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer.  Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend.  Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?

Michael Keaton & JK Simmons Exit King Kong Skull Island

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21193:]]

It’s learned that both Michael Keaton and JK Simmons have exited Legendary’s King Kong Skull Island movie.

Deadline cites scheduling issues as the reason.

Michael Keaton was recently named on a new comic book movie with Imagine Agents, in which he will both star and produce.

J.K. Simmons, current starring in Terminator: Genisys, is a fan hopeful to return to the Spider-Man franchise as J. Jonah Jameson, and interestingly enough, this follows the news of Marvel announcing Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Obviously, the two may not be connected, but at least there is some hope there.

Tom Hiddleston is still on board Skull Island.

Kong: Skull: Island has a March 10, 2017 directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts with a script by John Gatins and Max Borenstein.

Synopsis:

In the spirit of its worldwide blockbuster Godzilla, Legendary Pictures presents a bold new take on the mythos of another iconic beast with Kong: Skull Island, which stars Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers and Thor series).

Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) and written by John Gatins(Flight) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla), Kong: Skull Island will fully immerse audiences in the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes as a team of explorers ventures deep inside the treacherous, primordial island. Legendary’s story honors the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but places it in an entirely new, distinct timeline.

Thomas Tull (Godzilla, The Dark Knight, Pacific Rim) and Jon Jashni (Godzilla, Warcraft) will produce and Alex Garcia (Godzilla) will executive produce. The film will be released in 3D and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures.

Spider-Man To Start Filming June 2016

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21191:]]

While doing press for Ant-Man, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige offered updates on the filming schedules for Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor 3 and the new Spider-Man.

Regarding Captain America: Civil War, Feige said they just crossed the halfway mark of filming last week, and that it’s around day 42 or 43 of 80.

Feige offered Doctor Strange will start to film in London this November.

James Gunn recently confirmed the title for the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel to be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which Feige stated will start filming in London around February and/or March of 2016.

The third Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok, will film at the same time as the new Tom Holland Spider-Man movie, around June of 2016.

Feige also shot down the rumor that Thor 3 will be directed by Kenneth Branagh and stated the announcement for the director should be some time soon.

While there was a previous goofy rumor that Marvel was “scared” of WB at this Summer’s Comic-Con, as many have anticipated, Feige said it’s possible Marvel will be at Disney’s D23 Expo in August.

“Captain America: Civil War” hits May 6, 2016; “Doctor Strange” has a November 4, 2016 release; “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” blasts off May 5, 2017; Spider-Man swings in July 28, 2017, and “Thor: Ragnarok” hammers home November 3, 2017.

Guillermo del Toro No Longer Attached To Justice League Dark

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21190:]]

It’s learned Guillermo del Toro is no longer attached to Justice League Dark.

Yesterday saw Warner Bros. shuffle their DC Vertigo titles around which saw Sandman moved from WB to sister arm, New Line Cinema.

In THR‘s report on the news, they state insiders say Guillermo del Toro is working on Pacific Rim 2 and is prepping for the release of Crimson Peak and is no longer set to direct Justice League Dark.

It is noted Justice League Dark is still at Warner Bros.; the movie is set feature the supernatural characters of the DCU including Constantine, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, and Deadman. The reason given (which may be why Guillermo del Toro is no longer attached) is that DC Comics recently moved the JLD characters into their regular DC Universe and the movie is doing the same.

Sandman is based on the Neil Gaiman comic and is being developed by Jospeh Gordon Levitt.

Dwayne Johnson’s Shazam is still at New Line as well.

Deadline reports the reason for the Vertigo titles shifting to New Line under Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener is that the Vertigo titles are considered “subversive” compared to the WB-steered DC Comics titles with those “venerable superheroes.”
