Dan Abnett Writing New Hercules Ongoing For Marvel

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21535:]]

Superstar Marvel Cosmic writer Dan Abnett is taking on the Prince Of Power as Marvel has announced a new ongoing Hercules series with art by Luke Ross, which launches in November.

Marvel’s CBR site features an interview with Abnett, who recently included Hercules in his Secret Wars: Korvac Saga series.

Highlights from the interview include:

•  The idea came to me because I was aware that I hadn’t ever given Marvel’s Hercules the sort of the consideration it deserved. I love the Marvel Universe and all the characters in it. I think Hercules is a fabulous addition to that and, as you said, there have been some great comics handling him over the years.

• Because of the nature of “Secret Wars,” I was restricted from using Thor. So I made damn sure that Hercules was part of [Korvac Saga”]. I wanted a big powerhouse demigod character. 

• I want to keep the book very accessible and I want to make it very immediate. So the first few issues are going to appear to be done in one stories. He’ll deal with one or multiple problems in an issue and there’s a sense of closure, but there is the inevitable meta story. So his supporting cast’s story rolls through those and we gradually get the impression that these apparently disconnected elements are going to be more connected. They are not necessarily all part of the same thing, but they are symptoms of the same problem. And yes, at least some of his major opponents are going to be new characters that are almost filling the vacuum left by the diminishing mythological presence of the world. That’s going to be a fun thing to do.

• He’s been a hero for longer than most people and he’s coasted. He’s had a few weeks off. Except in his terms that’s probably the best part of a century. That’s perfectly normal, but he’s become aware of the fact that people don’t look at him with the same awe that they do Captain America, or Iron Man, or Thor. They go, “Oh Hercules! He’s the funny one!” In this Internet age, he’d be the one where you’d see the fail photographs of him at an event or doing something daft or whatever.

•  For instance Tony Stark might go, “Wow! Centaurs. I don’t know what to do about those?” Whereas Hercules would go, “I know all about those.” So he has an area of expertise that fills a really interesting niche in the same way that if it was magic you would go to Doctor Strange or if it’s technology Tony Stark is your man. So it’s almost like an area of expertise that Hercules has decided to remind the world he know all about.

• This is not a grim and gritty take on Hercules. It’s going to be triumphantly celebratory of everything that Hercules has ever been, but it is him cutting back to basics and going, “Right, I need to get my act together again and prove that I’m a serious warrior and hero.”

Shazam Movie Is Happening Says Dwayne Johnson: Confirms Black Adam Involvement

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:16862:]]

While Dwayne Johnson has been making the rounds for Hercules in Mexico, the actor also talked with the local press about the Shazam movie.

Yesterday saw Johnson mention he is giving his heart and soul to Shazam, and now The Rock talks more about the film with the Omlette where he confirms it’s definitely happening and also that Black Adam is involved.

It’s unknown which character Dwayne Johnson will be playing.

Translated via Bing:

My trip to Comic-Con was a surprise, so I called personally to the executives at New Line and Warner Bros. to see if they would like to announce Shazam with me there, “said the actor. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t time yet, but the official announcement should happen soon”.

“I’m 100% sure that the film will happen. If we were talking about him since 2008, when I was offered the role for the first time. It was just a matter of finding the right script-and it finally happened now. We have a writer who understood the story and brought an incredible approach not only to Shazam, but for the power of black Adam as well, “concluded, suggesting that the film will seek some sort of balance between these two antagonistic characters.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:14862:]]

Hercules has an August 14, 2014 release date also starring John Hurt, Antje Traue (Man of Steel), Irina Shayk, and Ian McShane.

Synopsis:

Fourteen-hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the Earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules, powerful son of the god king Zeus, received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labors and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods, finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and the presence of death. These men and woman never question where, why, or whom they go to fight; only how much they will be paid. Knowing this, the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. Hercules begins to question King Cotys’ motives when he takes his army out to battle and sees them practice on innocent men, women, and children of their neighbors. Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece – or even Olympus itself?!
