Watch: Patton Oswalt Rips The DC Movies A New One (Video)

It should probably be noted before you watch the above that Patton Oswalt plays a Marvel character(s) in Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course that doesn’t man he’s biased, as Patton Oswalt answers fan questions ranging from his thoughts on Spider-Man entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to the new Star Wars, to a Matrix/Terminator/Robocop movie, to ripping apart the gritty and serious tone of the new DC movies, to favorite comic book movie, and the superhero he would like to play.

The DC rant hits at about the 4 minute mark.

“God damn it guys,” Oswalt offered. “Stop with the brooding! The only one who gets to brood is Batman! It only works if he’s the one brooding guy! They can’t all be brooding! God damn it.”

Related: Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, also isn’t a fan of DC’s approach.

Trailer for Nathan Fillion & Alan Tudky’s Con Man Web Series

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudky took to crowd-funding to kickstart the Con Man web series, and now a first trailer has been released.

Check it out above.

Synopsis:

Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk-Me!) was a co-star on Spectrum, a sci-fi series which was canceled -Too Soon- yet became a cult classic. Wray’s good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major movie star. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will feature all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way to these events.

The series is a light-hearted take on the personalities, luminaries, and characters in the sci-fi community we are privileged to call ourselves members. Con Man is a way to share some of the surreal occurrences we have had, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.

I wanted to make a show that featured all of my favorite convention artists and friends together. Not only that, I wanted to celebrate the world where heroes, villains, zombie hunters, and space pirates all overlap. I especially wanted to work with my friend Nathan Fillion again.

New Avengers 2 Footage Description

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19638:]]

Check out description of new footage for Avengers 2 that Disney CEO Bob Iger released at a shareholder’s meeting, which also saw the new Star Wars announcements.

Via Stitch Kingdom:

Let us start with the new clip from Marvel’s Age of Ultron (May 1, 2015). The clip so nice, Robert Iger made the quiet joke twice. The scene opens with an armored police vehicle arriving on the scene. An incredibly angry and destructive Hulk is witnessed tearing up the streets, destroying cars and spreading all-out panic. Police, heavily armed with machine guns, openly fire on the Hulk to no avail. In the distance comes Iron Man, flying at super speed to the scene. ‘Hold your fire,’ he commands to the responding teams below. He is flanked by large metal objects that speed along through the air with him, keeping up every step of the way. We cut back to the menacing Hulk and all of a sudden, a large steel (?) surfboard-shaped object slams itself down in the pavement in front of him. Then another. And another. Before you know it, Hulk is trapped inside a giant, solid metallic ‘box.’ At least, that is, until Hulk smashes free and then continues his rampage. And then, it assembles — piece by piece — the Hulkbuster, almost in Mark 42 fashion. ‘The witch is messing with your brain,’ Stark tells Hulk. ‘You’re smarter than her, you’re Bruce Banner.’ This yields an even angrier response from Hulk and it’s on. Hulkbuster vs. Hulk. The Hulkbuster usually seems to have the upper-hand, as they drag each other through the streets, tearing up the pavement. At least until Hulk ends up on the Hulkbuster’s back, impaling the shoulder with a traffic light pole. ‘Dick move, Banner’ responds Stark as they continue to fight. Then the damaged pieces of the Hulkbuster fall off and are quickly replaced with new parts. Different parts. And now Hulkbuster is atop Hulk, Stark treating Hulk’s head as a punching bag, literally pounding Hulk’s head into the pavement over and over and over (much to the amusement of the audience). ‘Sleep, go to sleep’ chants Stark, but spoiler alert: it doesn’t work. Then, one of the replaced parts of the Hulkbuster, the arm missing a hand, wraps itself around Hulk’s arm and sucks him in and Iron Man takes flight, toting Hulk by the arm.

“The Avengers: Age Of Ultron” hits May 1, 2015 directed by Joss Whedon starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Paul Bettany as Vision, with James Spader as Ultron.

Flash Gordon Reboot May Be A Sequel Starring Sam Jones

Flash Gordon Reboot May Be A Sequel Starring Sam Jones

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19623:]]

About a year ago saw Fox acquire the rights to Flash Gordon with it said a new movie was being written by Star Trek 3 writers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.

Now it’s learned the new Flash Gordon may actually be a sequel to the 1980 cult favorite and not a reboot.

Sam Jones, who played the titular character in the original film, recently spoke with Den Of Geek and stated he is in talks for a role.

Matthew Reilly, VP of production at Fox Studios, acquired the screenplay rights to Flash Gordon last year, and he hired John Davis and his staff to write the script. They’re looking to bring out a sequel actually. I met with Matt, we’re in talks about that. I’m very excited. A lot of people over the years, including Stephen Sommers and Neil H Moritz, have acquired the screenplay rights, but for whatever reason they did not do a follow up on the option. So I’m very excited about it.

Whether they will go with a brand new Flash or pass-the-torch is unknown, but regardless, Jones says he’s up for anything.

However they want to use me, I’m very excited. I told Matt, however he wants to use me, keep one thing in mind: whatever a younger, leading man can do, I cannot only match him, I can do more! If he does 20 pull-ups, I can do 30 pull-ups. If he can do 100 push-ups, I can do 150 push-ups. Just keep that in mind!

Sam Jones recently did a cameo as Flash Gordon in Ted.

As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Chris Pine Rumored For Green Lantern

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19580:]]

Rumors have been circulating regarding the next Green Lantern.

Some rumors have said Michelle Rodriguez is next in line (which she shot down) while others are stating John Stewart may be the character that Zack Snyder goes with in Justice League.

Now the latest is that Star Trek’s Chris Pine may be up for the role of Hal Jordan Green Lantern.

Latino Review is stating Chris Pine is a name they keep hearing and has been floating around for the new GL.

Pine, of course, is known for playing another outer space character with Captain Kirk in the new JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movies and will be starring in Star Trek 3.

More than likely, Pine as Green Lantern isn’t happening, would be my guess.

Shailene Woodley Wants To Play Mary Jane In New Spider Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19577:]]

With Marvel and Sony rebooting Spider-Man, maybe Shailene Woodley will get a second chance to play Mary Jane.

Woodley actually filmed scenes for Amazing Spider-Man 2, but was cut from the film.

Now with the reboot, maybe she’ll be back.

“Oh. Yeah. I didn’t know that, actually. That’s amazing. Heck, yeah,” Woodley responded to Clevver Movies about playing Mary Jane for Marvel.

It’s unknown what direction Sony and Marvel are going with Spider-Man, but the most recent rumor stated they are going with a 15-year-old Spider-Man, so Woodley at 23 years of age might be too old.

Spider-Man is thought to be appearing in Captain America: Civil War in May 2016 and a standalone film in 2017.
