Taron Egerton Would Play The New Wolverine

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20912:]]

With Hugh Jackman days as Wolverine nearing an end, Fox Studios must have some idea of where they want to take the character as well as the X-Men franchise.

It’s speculated some sort of soft reboot may be the result of X-Men: Apocalypse as Bryan Singer has already cast younger actors in the roles of Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Storm and Cyclops. In addition, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and Michael Fassbender have let it be known they aren’t returning.

So who then for Wolverine? How about Kingsman: The Secret Service‘s Taron Egerton? The 25-year-old actor turned heads in the Matthew Vaughn-directed movie that went on to make over $400 million at the box office and has spawned a sequel.

Screen Rant caught up with Egerton, who stated he would consider playing Wolverine.

[Laughs] I am a huge X-Men fan! My feeling about that is… I don’t know if I’m quite grizzly enough. My facial hair is still very thin and patchy. I feel someone who plays Wolverine potentially needs testosterone in abundance. Yeah, I’d love to have a go at it, but I don’t know. [Laughs] I don’t know. I was with Hugh the day that he announced his retirement from that role. I did joke about that very thing with him. But the phone hasn’t rang yet, my friend, so I don’t know.

WB Reviving Akira With Daredevil Season 2 Co-Showrunner

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20911:]]

It’s learned Warner Bros. is reviving the live-action adaptation of Akira.

THR reports Daredevil Season 2 co-showrunner Marco Ramirez will write a new Akira movie.

Ramirez is also known for writing episodes of Sons Of Anarchy, Da Vinci’s Demons and Orange Is the New Black.

The report mentions Andrew Lazar (American Sniper) and Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way Productions are on board as producers.  

Akira almost made it to the big screen back in 2012 with Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Ken Watanabe and Helena Bonham Carter attached at one point.

Interestingly enough, Disney just canceled plans for the third Tron film, which was to star Hedlund. Perhaps with Hedlund not doing any more Tron movies, he could hop on the new Akira?

Akira is a Japanese manga comic from Katsuhiro Otomo described by Amazon as:

Welcome to Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that leveled Tokyo. At the core of the agency’s motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira.

Katsuhiro Otomo’s stunning science fiction masterpiece is considered by many to be the finest work of graphic fiction ever produced, and Otomo’s brilliant animated film version is regarded worldwide as a classic.

Bryce Dallas Howard Wants To Play Captain Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20909:]]

Bryce Dallas Howard in a Marvel movie? Who is the first character that comes to mind?

For me, it’s Medusa of the Inhumans (obviously with the red hair), but while promoting Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard tells Cinema Blend the following about potentially playing Carol Danvers in a Captain Marvel movie.

Oh my God, will you write that? Will you write that please? Yes, let’s start a campaign now. That would be rad. Those movies are so fantastic, because talk about just these incredibly drawn characters! That’s the joy of the comics, is that you fall in love with these characters and it’s who they are that carries you from journey to journey to journey… it’s not just about set pieces. It’s really about who these people are, and so, yes, I just would love to be in a Marvel film.

While the actress technically did have a role in a Marvel movie, it was for Sam Raimi back in 2007 as Gwen Stacy for Spider-Man 3, enough time has probably passed where she could play a new character.

As of yet, Marvel hasn’t announced anyone for Captain Marvel, but the rumor mills and fan speculation has been churning out names including Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, Katheryn Winnick and most recently Charlize Theron.

Jurassic World opens Friday.

Captain Marvel has a November 2, 2018 release date.

No Marvel Studios Stated Again For Comic-Con; Batman Vs Superman May Be Big

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20905:]]

Confirming what James Gunn said back in March, now Deadline is stating that Marvel Studios will not have a presentation in Hall H at Comic-Con.

The report mentions that “Kevin Feige just doesn’t have anything new to show,” which is a rather odd statement as Marvel has Ant-Man opening the following week in addition to Marvel filming Captain America: Civil War and plans for Doctor Strange to be released in 2016, with filming to begin later this year.

There is also the fact that Marvel could have revealed their new Spider-Man at Comic-Con.

More than likely, Disney is holding back Marvel Studios from Comic-Con for either their own event, similar to the Avengers: Infinity War announcement with Black Panther at El Capitan theater from last year, or the Disney D23 Expo a month after Comic-Con in August.

It is noted that Marvel Studios’ absence will leave Warner Bros. with, potentially, a significant presence of its own as Batman Vs. Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and Justice League Part 1 are lined up. It’s possible Will Smith, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and others may be at Comic-Con representing the DC movies.

For Marvel fans, while Marvel Studios will not be at the SDCC, Marvel Comics will be there with a booth and panels of their own.

Comic-Con takes place July 9-12 in San Diego.

Wonder Woman To Be Featured In Batman Vs. Superman Merchandise

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20900:]]

A big complaint amongst the Marvel fans is that Disney skipped out on Black Widow merchandise for The Avengers 2.

Disney and Hasbro even went so far as changing a scene from the movie to remove Black Widow in the toy.

Mark Ruffalo and George Takei even had complaints.

The good news is that same can’t be said for Wonder Woman and Batman Vs. Superman.

This week sees the Licensing Expo out of Las Vegas in which various studios and merchandisers exhibit their plans for the related movies.

WB already announced their slate of products, which also included a Jakks Pacific Batman Vs. Superman announcement today.

Now in a report over at LicenseMag.com, it’s noted Wonder Woman will be featured promintently in Batman Vs. Superman merchandising.

“Our comprehensive program will include Wonder Woman in the merchandise lines and in standalone products supporting the film. We have always had a robust line for Wonder Woman, and her role in this film and future films offers us more opportunities to feature her character and empowering attributes in many creative ways.”

“This is the first time ever that fans will see Batman and Superman together in a theatrical event. And let’s not forget the two new Batsuits, a new Batmobile, the Batwing, a new logo and Wonder Woman that all create really merchandisable elements for our partner. We have had phenomenal success with each character in their own world, but now we are able to supercharge the opportunity based on the most universally recognized Super Heroes.” 

“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.

Dwayne Johnson Wants John Carpenter For Big Trouble In Little China Remake

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20897:]]

Last week it became know that Dwayne Johnson will be starring in the remake of the John Carpenter 1986 cult-favorite flick, Big Trouble In Little China.

The original starred Kurt Russell as tough-guy truck driver Jack Burton who gets caught in-between a mystical feud in Chinatown involving his best friend and a green-eyed woman.

The Rock is set to play the Jack Burton character, and now Johnson states he wants original director John Carpenter involved.

“My response is: know that I come to the project with nothing but love and respect for the original, which is why we want to bring on John Carpenter,” Johnson told EW.com.

Johnson is aware of the fan response not only regarding all the recent remakes Hollywood has been doing as of late, but the reaction to him playing Jack Burton, which was received with mix feelings online.

“I loved the original when I was younger and I loved the main character – all the characters,” Johnson said. “It felt like if we surrounded ourselves with the right group of people, the right writers who loved the movie too and wanted to honor it, bring on John Carpenter in some capacity … If we did that, then we have a shot at hopefully making something good.”

Johnson, who will also be onboard as a producer, even continues with mention that if things go sour, he would walk away.

“Let’s see what feels good, what we can come up with and then go from there,” Johnson said. “And as we write it, if the whole thing starts to stink up, then we thank everybody for their efforts and accept this just couldn’t make it.”

Regarding the involvement of John Carpenter, fans asked Carpenter on Facebook about his thoughts on the Big Trouble in Little China remake last week, with Carpenter stating: “20th Centry Fox owns the rights,” and that “I only know what I read in the papers. I am not involved with it” and “I am doing fine. I didn’t write the original one–no harm no foul.”
