Wasp Confirmed For Ant-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21111:]]

It’s now official that Janet van Dyne will be featured in the Ant-Man movie as Wasp.

It was previously just speculation that Wasp may be making an appearance in Ant-Man, as Janet van Dyne and Hank Pym’s daughter is featured in the movie with Hope Van Dyne, played by Evangeline Lilly.

Now Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige confirms the appearance of Wasp.

“She factors in a number of spoiler-ish ways,” Feige told MTV. “But we will see Janet van Dyne in action in this film, and sort of what happened to her.” 

Regarding what happened to Janet is presently unknown, but the cast teased it led to to Hank Pym hanging up his Ant-Man suit during the Cold War, and also leading to a rift between Hank and his daughter, Hope. 

“Hope and her father don’t get along very well,” offered Evangeline Lilly. “And they haven’t for many years, for most of her life.” 

It’s presently unknown who will play Janet Van Dyne and Wasp in the movie, but at one time Rashida Jones was rumored for the role.

“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.

Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Leaked: Spider-Man Can Be Black In The Movies But Not Peter Parker

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21079:]]

The other day saw a second batch of Sony documents leaked online as a result of the earlier North Korean hack.

Now what looks to be a licensing agreement between Marvel and Sony listing mandatory movie characteristics for both Spider-Man and Peter Parker has hit the net.

The document does reveal that “Spider-Man” can be black (or whatever ethnicity), but that “Peter Parker” must be white.

The document also allows for a gay Spider-Man as long as Marvel first portrayed the alter ego of the character that way first.

It probably should be noted the document/agreement may not be valid anymore as it was created in 2011, and Sony and Marvel may have come to a new deal with their joint venture.

What the licensing agreement essentially does is limit Sony’s creative control over the character, which makes sense as Spider-Man is owned by Marvel.

Here is the list of the mandatory character traits:

Mandatory Spider-Man Character Traits: Spider-Man (whether Peter Parker or an alternate Spider-Man character) must always strictly conform to the following “Mandatory Character Traits”:

•Male
• Does not torture
• Does not kill unless in defense of self or others
• Does not use foul language beyond PG-13
• Does not smoke tobacco
• Does not sell/distribute illegal drugs
• Does Not abuse alcohol
• Does not have sex before the age of 16, does not have sex with anyone below the age of 16
• Not a homosexual (unless Marvel has portrayed that alter ego as a homosexual)

Peter Parker traits. Depiction of Peter Parker or his Spider-Man alter ego must conform to the following character traits:

• His full name is Peter Benjamin Parker.
• He is Caucasian and heterosexual.
• His parents become absent from his life during his childhood.
• From the time his parents become absent he is raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City.
• He gains his powers while attending either middle school or college.
• He gains his powers from being bitten by a spider.
• He designs his first red and blue costume.
• The black costume is a symbiotic and not designed by him.
• He is raised in a middle class household in Queens, New York.
• He attends or attended high school in Queens, New York, and he attends or attended college in New York City, New York.

Jesse Eisenberg Confirms He’ll Be at Comic-Con For Batman Vs. Superman (Video)

While obviously Jesse Eisenberg can’t say much about Batman Vs. Superman, the Lex Luthor actor does confirm an appearance at next month’s Comic-Con.

In the video above, Eisenberg states he will be at Comic-Con, and that: “I think we go in and out. There for the hour, and then I’m on the stage.” 

It’s probably safe to assume with Eisenberg appearing at Comic-Con that Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot will be in attendance once again. It’s also possible Jason Momoa and the rest of the Batman Vs. Superman cast may be in attendance as well.

Last year saw Zack Snyder release the Batman Vs. Superman teaser with Affleck, Cavill and Gadot present.

Jesse Eisenberg also recently stated his Lex Luthor will be different than the Gene Hackman version.

The Batman Vs. Superman panel takes place Saturday night, July 11th in Hall H at Comic-Con, which runs July 8-12 in San Diego.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21071:]]

“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.

Batman Vs. Superman Lex Luthor Is Different Than Gene Hackman Version (Video)

We hear from Jesse Eisenberg talking about Lex Luthor in Batman Vs. Superman in the above video.

Eisenberg offers this version of Lex Luthor is a great character as well as stating Lex isn’t a silly villain and is different than the Gene Hackman Luthor.

Here’s the blurb:

It was a wonderful opportunity.

It’s a really great character that’s written by this guy, Chris Terrio, he’s a phenomenal writer. He comes from a place of character. He loves my character in the same way I love my character. He put a lot of work into it. It’s a great character, there’s an emotional core to the character. It’s not silly, villainous character. It was a great part.

Eisenberg continues with mention his Lex Luthor is entirely different than the Gene Hackman version.

No. There is no way to do anything. I mean its an entirely different thing, but also the tone of that movie is so different… that movie wouldn’t be made like that now… The way we expect movies now is to have some kind of… I mean it’s for the best probably because there is some kind of more psychological accuracy… that the person is coming from a place that’s probably diagnosable.

This is a real depiction of a person who thinks these things.

Update: Jesse Eisenberg also confirms a Batman Vs. Superman appearance for Comic-Con.

New Indiana Jones Movie Rumored For 2018

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21065:]]

Could it be mere coincidence that following the colossal hall Jurassic World took at the box office, that rumors are now flying that a new Indiana Jones movie may be released in 2018?

It’s certainly possible that Disney took notice of Jurassic World’s success as the film stars Chris Pratt, who is/was rumored for the new Indy role, and Jurassic World is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, director on all four Indiana Jones movies.

While Pratt did deny the Indiana Jones rumor and said he and Spielberg never mentioned it, with Jurassic World having the best opening ever for a movie, Disney and Spielberg have to be at least thinking about using Pratt in some capacity (either as the new Indy or to star along side Harrison Ford).

Consider it all speculation right now, but according to AICN, Disney may be releasing a new Indiana Jones movie late 2018.

Last we heard about a potential new Indiana Jones movie was from Disney LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy who confirmed six weeks ago a new Indiana Jones movie will be made and is in development.

Chris Pratt as the new Indy is probably looking better than ever as of right now.

The reason cited, according to THR, is that the studios decided the timing isn’t right for them when it comes to their upcoming releases.

Regarding Paramount, they have no new Transformers movie currently in the works and Star Trek 3 is yet to kick off, though they could have done something for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2; however, it’s still year out from the movie’s release. Terminator: Genisys also opens a week prior to Comic-Con, and the next Mission Impossible opens July 31st; so Paramount could have at least had something, but chose not to.

The same goes for Marvel, as Marvel could easily have done something for Ant-Man, which opens a week following Comic-Con, and Captain America: Civil War is currently filming; Doctor Strange is also in the works. It is being speculated Disney may be holding Marvel out for its own big announcement event, similar to last October’s Avengers: Infinity announcement.

While Marvel Studios and Paramount won’t be there, Warner Bros. will be there on Saturday night with their Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League panel.

In addition, Lionsgate announced they are bringing The Hunger Games and The Last Witch Hunter to the SDCC as well.

Disney has confirmed Star Wars for Friday, and Legendary and Fox Studios are expected to be there, with Sony putting up a Pride and Prejudice and Zombies panel through its Screen Gems label.

While Marvel Studios will not be attending, both Marvel Comics and Marvel TV (Agents Of SHIELD, Agent Carter) will be at the convention.

Comic-Con takes place July 8-12 in San Diego.
