Evangeline Lilly is playing Hope Van Dyne, daughter to Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, in the Ant-Man movie.

Lilly recently spoke with Collider where she admitted she wasn’t too familiar with the Marvel universe other than having watched Iron Man.

Evangeline Lilly says in her attempt to learn more about Ant-Man, someone gave her a batch of Ant-Man comics, which she says were “total crap.”

No, it wasn’t. I am still trying to figure out how to get my hands on original ‘Ant-Man’ comics, where you get them. I’ve been given a couple recent ‘Ant-Man’ comics. No offense Marvel, but they are total crap. I really want to read the original ones, because I got through two and I was like, dude, you can’t force-feed me another one of these magazines. It was terrible. But Janet’s not in them, and neither is Hank and neither is Scott. It’s just a completely different fabrication. So if anybody has any old ‘Ant-Man’ comics they want to lend me…

Based on Lilly’s description of the Ant-Man comics, we can speculate she is talking about The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman’s run on Irreedeemable Ant-Man as Kirkman’s comic featured Eric O’Grady (the most recent Nick Spencer Ant-Man comic features Scott Lang).

A quick check of the Marvel Digital Comics store reveals Ant-Man and Tales To Astonish issues are in stock. Can somebody get Evangeline Lilly a digital subscription?

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Basically Confirms Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

About a year ago saw a set image from Batman Vs. Superman hit the net which revealed a painting looking like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Online speculation immediately stated Morgan may be playing Thomas Wayne, father to Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne.

Now while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel, Jeffery Dean Morgan is asked about the image, with it sounding likely Morgan is indeed reuniting with Watchmen‘s Zack Snyder for Batman vs. Superman.

“God, dang. It sure looks like me. Doesn’t it,” Morgan replied when Kimmel asked if it was him in the picture. “I think you probably have to go watch the movie to see if that’s me, but it looks a lot like me, man.”

William Hurt Would Love To Play Red Hulk In Captain America: Civil War (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21152:]]

While the Hulk wasn’t a part of the original Civil War Marvel Comics storyline, perhaps each side in the superhero squabble will have their own in the movie.

Mark Ruffalo is yet to be confirmed, but recently Robert Downey Jr. has been making hints about the inclusion of the Hulk actor in Captain America: Civil War, and with William Hurt announced returning as Thaddeus Ross, many fans online have been speculating about an appearance of the Red Hulk.

The WSJ caught up with Hurt and asked him about the possibility of the Red Hulk in Captain America: Civil War, which Hurt says he would definitely be open to playing.

Here’s the blurb:

“It’s very very different from the other [Incredible] Hulk. It’s really different. It’s done differently, and the style is completely modernized. So, I’m not playing the graphic novel version of Thaddeus Ross. I’m playing… a better suit.”

Regarding Red Hulk:

“I don’t know, I wouldn’t mind feeling like I had that much power. I created Thaddeus originally as an ego the same size as the monsters, with the same degree of messed-upness. Yeah, I’d love to have a shot at it.”

Watch the video for more from William Hurt:

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Watch: Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Trailer

The full trailer for Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, the last movie of the franchise, has been released.

The film has an October 23, 2015 release directed by Gregory Plotkin starring Nathan Brewer and Jay Hieron.

Previously released info about the plot (via USA Today) includes:

The Ghost Dimension will answer the bevy of questions at the core of the demonic mystery which have lingered throughout the series. Paranormal Activity 2 (2010), Paranormal Activity 3 (2011), Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) and offshoot Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) left devoted fans demanding answers about the root of the modern-day hauntings and the mysterious demon Toby.

The Ghost Dimension, directed by Gregory Plotkin, follows a new family, the Fleeges — father Ryan (Chris J. Murray), mother Emily (Brit Shaw) and their young daughter Leila (Ivy George) — who move into a house and discover a video camera and a box of tapes in the garage.

When they look through the camera’s lens, they begin to see the paranormal activity happening around them — including the re-emergence of young Kristi and Katie.

“We couldn’t go just teasing,” says Blum. “All the questions that everyone has asked from the past Paranormal Activity films: What does Toby look like? What’s the backstory to the families? These questions have been teased out. Now they will be answered.”

Even Toby will be revealed after remaining unseen in previous films.

“We’ve done well without showing Toby, being able to create tensions and scares based on audiences’ imagination,” says producer Oren Peli. “But people are very curious.”

Magus Rumored For The Avengers: Infinity War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21146:]]

The Magus is stated to be appearing in The Avengers: Infinity War.

The info comes from the Action Auditions casting call website that states the Magus will have a major role along with Thanos.

Here is the blurb:

Auditions are now getting underway for the Marvel Studios feature film ‘Avengers: Infinity War – Part I’ lead and supporting roles. The auditions for new lead and supporting roles will be taking place in Los Angeles, CA. The film is the first in a two-part sequel in which Thanos plays a major role, along with the Magus. Adam Warlock’s bad side, the Magus, separates from his body and assembles the Infinity Gauntlet. Magus creates doppelgangers of Earth’s heroes as part of his plan to recreate a universe of evil. “Avengers: Infinity War – Part I” will be shot entirely on the IMAX/ARRI 2D digital camera.

Obviously, if this info is legit, the inclusion of the Magus means Adam Warlock will get introduced at some point (Magus is the future version of Adam Warlock), with many fans online speculating Adam Warlock to be introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Regarding the description of the Magus, the info may not specifically pertain to the movie as it’s basically a description of the Infinity War Marvel comic; however, of course, anything is possible.

Long story short, in the Infinity comics, Thanos assists the Earth heroes and Adam Warlock in battling the Magus, who has aquired not only five extra-dimensional cosmic cubes, but eventually the Infinity Gauntlet as well.

The Avengers Infinity War Part 1 is due out May 4, 2018, with Part 2 on May 3, 2019.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 hits May 5, 2017.

Green Lantern Reboot Rumored To Focus On Hal Jordan, Jon Stewart & Guy Gardner

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21145:]]

Green Lantern is getting rebooted for the new WB Justice League cinematic universe, and now new rumors have hit the net.

According to Collider, the Green Lantern reboot may focus on the human Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Guy Gardner.

It’s said all three characters may be the lead in the WB Green Lantern reboot.

It’s also reported that the new Green Lantern movie franchise will never focus solely on one GL, but will continue to focus on different Green Lanterns.

So essentially, the rumor is stating the new Green Lantern reboot will first focus on the human Green Lantern members before introducing and focusing on the rest of the Green Lantern Corps.

The report also mentions the new Green Lanterns may be introduced at the WB Batman Vs. Superman Comic-Con panel next month, with it possible that the new GLs will then be in the Justice League Part 1 movie.

The rumor sounds like it does have some merit, and with the Green Lantern movie not due out until 2020, it’s more than probable we’ll see a Green Lantern (or two) prior to then.

It also probably should be noted that in addition to the three human Green Lanterns mentioned above, the comics features two more with Kyle Rayner and Simon Baz.

Details Behind Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Casting

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21144:]]

Earlier today saw Marvel and Sony announce 19-year-old English actor Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man with Jon Watts set to direct the film.

Now Variety reports on the inside decision as to how both Watts and Holland were chosen.

TOM HOLLAND

According to the report, following “underwhelming” meetings with unknown actors, the search for a new Spider-Man was widened to include actors with a “somewhat” proven track record, with Asa Butterfield, Charlie Rowe, Matthew Lintz and Tom Holland becoming the frontrunners. The list was eventually narrowed to two favorites with Lowe and Holland.

Tom Holland became the choice by Marvel and Sony as it’s said Holland was an already established name who proved he could hold his own alongside bigger-named stars such as when Holland starred in The Impossible with Ewan McGreggor and Naomi Watts.

It’s further said Tom Holland is at an age in which he is still young enough that he will be able to play a teenage Spider-Man for years to come (Marvel’s Kevin Feige stated the new Peter Parker is in high school), and that the decision for an adult teenage actor was made in part due to the studios not wanting to deal with child labor laws that restrict the lengths of film shoots.

JON WATTS

Regarding Jon Watts, the report mentions Ted Melfi (St. Vincent), Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies), John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation) were also potential contenders to direct Spider-Man as their experience on the comedic side as well as use of younger actors made them stand out choices.

It’s said, apparently Levine and Melfi became frustrated with the process, and Marvel/Sony was worried it would carry over to the Spider-Man movie production, which ended up opening the job up for Watts. In addition, Watts’ work on Cop Car is said to have earned him bonus points as the film received rave reviews at Sundance.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

While the Marvel and Sony official announcement made no mention of Tom Holland appearing as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, the report states Holland is expected to make an appearance “in order to properly introduce him into the Marvel film universe.”

Holland’s appearance in Captain America: Civil War is said to only be a small cameo as it’s mentioned Holland will only be needed for a week of filming.

Update: THR is reporting that Tom Holland had a screen test with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, and that Tony Stark/Iron Man will share scenes with Peter Parker/Spider-Man. It’s said Marvel was looking for chemistry between the actors and Holland.

Tom Holland recently finished filming “In The Heart Of The Sea” (out December 11th), which stars The Avengers’ Thor actor Chris Hemsworth (pictured above via USA Today).

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release; the new “Spider-Man” movie is due out July 28, 2017.

Scott Derrickson Heads To London For Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21131:]]

Production on the Doctor Strange movie looks to get underway soon as director Scott Derrickson has tweeted out he is on his way to London.

“Leaving now for London to make Doctor Strange,” Derrickson posted on Twitter.

Details on the Doctor Strange movie are slim at present with only Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed by Marvel to be playing the titular character Stephen Strange.

A couple of recent rumors do reveal a bit of gender and race bending for the film as it’s been reported by the Hollywood trade sites that Tilda Swinton is up to play the role of Doctor Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, and also that Chiwetel Ejiofor will be playing Baron Mordo.

Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release.

New Spider-Man & Director Announced

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21130:]]

Marvel and Sony have announced the new Spider-Man and director with Tom Holland as the new Web Crawler and Jon Watts as the director on the new Spider-Man movie.

Check out the announcement:

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are proud to announce that after a full worldwide casting search, Tom Holland will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man film, in theaters in IMAX and 3D on July 28, 2017. The film will be directed by Jon Watts, director of “Cop Car,” the upcoming thriller that made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Marvel and Sony Pictures, and producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal conducted an extensive search for both the actor and the director. The studios and producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in “The Impossible,” “Wolf Hall,” and the upcoming “In the Heart of the Sea,” and by a series of complex screen tests. Following Marvel’s tradition of working with the brightest next wave of directors, Watts also went through multiple meetings with Feige, Pascal, and the studio, before winning the job.

Commenting on the announcement, Tom Rothman, Sony Pictures Motion Pictures Group Chairman, said, “It’s a big day here at Sony. Kevin, Amy and their teams have done an incredible job. The Marvel process is very thorough, and that’s why their results are so outstanding. I’m confident Spider-Man will be no exception. I’ve worked with a number of up-and-coming directors who have gone on to be superstars and believe that Jon is just such an outstanding talent. For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start.”

Feige commented, “As with James Gunn, Joss Whedon, and the Russo brothers, we love finding new and exciting voices to bring these characters to life. We spent a lot of time with Jon and find his take and work inspiring.”

Pascal added, “Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world. With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Sony Pictures will finance and release worldwide the next installment of the $4 billion Spider-Man franchise on July 28, 2017, in a film co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the Web-Slinger.

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

Watch: Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Trailer Teaser

Check out a short teaser above for the upcoming Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension trailer that will be released tomorrow.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension will be the last movie of the franchise.

The film has an October 23, 2015 release directed by Gregory Plotkin starring Nathan Brewer and Jay Hieron.

Info (via USA Today):

The Ghost Dimension will answer the bevy of questions at the core of the demonic mystery which have lingered throughout the series. Paranormal Activity 2 (2010), Paranormal Activity 3 (2011), Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) and offshoot Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) left devoted fans demanding answers about the root of the modern-day hauntings and the mysterious demon Toby.

When they look through the camera’s lens, they begin to see the paranormal activity happening around them — including the re-emergence of young Kristi and Katie.

Even Toby will be revealed after remaining unseen in previous films.

“We’ve done well without showing Toby, being able to create tensions and scares based on audiences’ imagination,” says producer Oren Peli. “But people are very curious.”

Check out six clips below from the Batkid Begins documentary.

Info:

On one day, in one city, the world came together to grant one 5-year-old cancer patient his wish.

The documentary “Batkid Begins” looks at the “why” of this flash phenomenon. Why did the intense outpouring of spontaneous support for a child reverberate around the world and become one of the biggest good news stories ever? The film explores what happens when an event goes viral, and reveals surprising truths about what happens when a nerve is touched in our digital society. Will the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfill its mission to help Miles reclaim his childhood after battling disease for more than half his short life?

In the end, the film leaves audiences to decide: did Miles need the world for inspiration? Or did the world need Miles?

Dana Nachman directed “Batkid Begins” and also produced the documentary with Liza Meak. The film was written by Nachman & Kurt Kuenne. Ian Reinhard & John Crane served as executive producers. Behind the scenes, the directors of photography were Don Hardy and Naomi Ture; the editor was Kurt Kuenne; and the lead animator was Rob Simmons. Dave Tweedie and Helen Jane Long composed the music.

Stan Lee Stands Up For White Spider-Man; Says Create New Characters

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21125:]]

Leave it to Stan Lee to tell it like it is.

Marvel Comics as of late has been changing their characters to mold them into politically correct versions.

The latest is that the Black Puerto Rican version of Spider-Man, Miles Morales, will be the headliner of the new Spider-Man series launching in the Fall.

The writer on the new Spidey series, Brian Michael Bendis, even went so far as to call white children racists by stating they wouldn’t let their friends of “color” pretend to be the white characters Batman or Superman (of course Bendis didn’t mention any white Marvel characters like Iron Man).

Now Stan Lee sets the record straight and says they should leave the characters alone and just create new ones.

“I wouldn’t mind, if Peter Parker had originally been black, a Latino, an Indian or anything else, that he stay that way,” Lee told Newsarama. “But we originally made him white. I don’t see any reason to change that.”

While Bendis apparently believes kids aren’t allowed to pretend to be a hero of a different “color,” Stan Lee thinks that one of Spider-Man’s stengths is that his costume enables anyone to potentially identify with the Web Crawler.

“What I like about the costume is that anybody reading Spider-Man in any part of the world can imagine that they themselves are under the costume,” Lee said. “And that’s a good thing.”

Lee continues that it’s not about being anti-gay or anti-black, and even mentions what may fans have stated, which is they wouldn’t want to see the black characters changed as well.

“It has nothing to do with being anti-gay, or anti-black, or anti-Latino, or anything like that,” Lee said. “Latino characters should stay Latino. The Black Panther should certainly not be Swiss. I just see no reason to change that which has already been established when it’s so easy to add new characters. I say create new characters the way you want to. Hell, I’ll do it myself.”

Michael Keaton to Star In and Produce “Imagine Agents” at Fox

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21123:]]

Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is excited to reveal that Michael Keaton (Birdman, Batman) will star in and produce a film adaptation at 20th Century Fox of the comic series Imagine Agents, created by Brian Joines.

Written by Brian Joines (Krampus) and illustrated by Bachan (Rocket Salvage), Imagine Agents is the story of two agents who work for clandestine organization I.M.A.G.I.N.E. to keep kids’ imaginary friends under control. Little do they know that an abandoned “friend” from long ago is about to disrupt the status quo and turn everything upside down. The series was published from October 2013 to January 2014, with a collected edition released in December 2014.

“Imagine Agents has been the most rewarding project I’ve worked on and the fact it’s going to be a movie with Michael Keaton, whose work had a huge impact on my teenaged years and indirectly played a role in my decision to become a writer, is just a mind-blowing continuation of that reward,” said Joines.

BOOM! has a first-look feature film deal at 20th Century Fox that includes first-dollar gross on films based on any of its comics, which the publisher splits with its creators.

BOOM! Studios Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie will produce the film with Keaton and Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar. President of Development Stephen Christy will executive produce with Anonymous Content’s Eli Selden. Senior Vice President of Film Adam Yoelin will co-produce in cooperation with Anonymous Content’s Ashley Zalta.

Keaton, best known for his roles in Beetlejuice and Batman, is coming off his award-nominated performance as washed-up superhero actor Riggan Thomson in New Regency Pictures’ Birdman and is currently filming The Founder, a biopic about Ray Kroc, the founder of the McDonald’s fast-food chain.
