Marvel's Iron Man 3 New Trailer!

The new Iron Man 3 trailer reveals much more of the storyline than we have seen in the previous Iron Man 3 teaser trailer.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is in a bit of a mess as you can see in the above trailer.  From the assault by The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) to Tony and Rhodey (Don Cheadle) putting together an Iron Man Army, let's not forget to mention the unofficial Hulk Buster Design!

This trailer has to definitely get you to go watch the movie in theaters. Iron Man 3 looks like a well planned, action packed, emotion driven, edge of your seat kind of storyline.

Marvel Movie 'Ant-Man' Movie Gets Official Release Date

Walt Disney Pictures and Marvel Studios have set an official release date for the Ant-Man movie.Disney just updated their schedule of upcoming releases for the next three years.  On this list you see many movies, but at the bottom of the list was a very pleasant title which read:

ANT-MAN is now dated on 11/6/15 wide (Marvel)

There it is! Ant-Man will be helmed by Edgar Wright, British director and director Joe Cornish (Attack The Block).

Wright screened Ant-Man test footage at the San Diego Comic Con Festival in July (2012), He and Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige premiered an incomplete test footage of an Ant-Man action sequence to showcase the relatively miniature character and how his ability to alter his size could work in a live action film. The film will not begin shooting the movie until he completes The World's End, his latest project with Pegg.

Dr. Henry ‘Hank’ Pym – alter ego Ant-Man a brilliant scientist who invents a shrinking serum that makes him insect size. When he is Ant-Man he is able to solve mysteries and take out the bad guys!

"One day he discovered a process in which he would manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields. Pym tested the serums on himself, and had accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant and was trapped inside an anthill. Once normal sized, Pym destroyed the serums, thinking that they were too dangerous . He rethought his decision, and recreated the serums, dubbing them "Pym Particles" and developing a formula that would enable himself to shrink and return to normal size. He also worked on a cybernetic helmet to enable him to communicate and study ants." - Marvel

Although Ant-Man has never appeared on screen before, there are rumors that he could feature in The Avengers 2 before he stars in his own movie.

Thanos will be featured in both "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2"

There has been a lot of news regarding Marvel's mad titan, Thanos, in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "The Avengers 2" involvement.  In recent news, Thanos will be featured in both films as the main villain.

The Tesseract, or the Cosmic Cube referred to as, became the main enchilada that drove the plot of The Avengers, putting together the characters we have met over the last few years in the films.  These characters went into battle against Loki and his army of alien invaders.  But as we learned that Loki was merely a servant to something greater.

Joss Whedon has got some big ideas, so Thanos might be a major part of them. Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor 2 will provide more insight into Thanos’ role – especially if  Odin’s vault is, indeed, robbed.   The Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s vault, likely meant that Thanos’ appearance was confirmation of his central role in several future films. Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige talked about the fan reaction to Thanos on MTV's Splash page:

“There’s a great track record now about lobbing something in at the last moment to get the audience buzzing[...] Particularly when it came to Thanos, [we knew] that most people in that audience had no idea who that purple guy was — but they could clearly tell he was important, and knew if they asked the two or three people sitting next to them, somebody would know who he was.

“Clearly, there’s a purpose to us putting him in the end of that movie. We do have plans for him[...] I wouldn’t say we ever feel the need to rush anything one way or the other. We succeeded in Phase One because we stuck to our guns and stuck to the plan. That plan took place over many, many years and it ultimately paid off. I see Phase Two unfolding in the same way of us taking our time, us doing what’s right for each individual movie, while folding in elements that will not only build up to the culmination of Phase Two, but even Phase Three.”

It sounds like Marvel is going to prepare us for an all-out cosmic insanity! The full Marvel ‘Phase Two’ release schedule is as follows: Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3rd, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8th, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4th, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st, 2014, and The Avengers 2 on May 1st, 2015.

Dredd | Judgement is Coming!

As many of you might think the Comic book blockbuster summer movies are over, but I'm here to tell you that there is a project I have been meaning to write about.  This is a movie you might want to watch!

     
The return of Judge Dredd to the big screen is finally getting another shot after the 1995 film which starred Sylvester Stallone as the iconic 2000AD character. With Director Pete Travis remake and leading role Karl Urban (Judge Dredd), Olivia Thirlby (Judge Anderson), the film looks promising, especially with the promise that Judge Dredd won't take his helmet off.  Here is a quote by creator John Wagner on the Helmet worn by Judge Dredd made back when the Comic book was created:

"It sums up the facelessness of justice − justice has no soul. So it isn't necessary for readers to see Dredd's face, and I don't want you to."

Dredd based off John Wagner’s iconic comic book character, "is an American law enforcement officer in a violent city of the future where uniformed Judges combine the powers of police, judge, jury and executioner. Dredd and his fellow Judges are empowered to arrest, sentence, and even execute criminals on the spot. Judge Joseph Dredd is a fictional character whose comic strip in the British science fiction anthology 2000 AD is the magazine's longest running, having been featured there since its second issue in 1977."

Here is the latest trailer released with drug lord Madeline ‘Ma-Ma’ Madrigal (Lena Headey) declares the lives of the pair of Judges skulking around her base of operations, the futuristic Peach Trees compound.

'Man of Steel' Trailers Released!

Two official trailers for the 'Man of Steel' released! Two separate trailers are from his adopted father Pa Kent (Kevin Costner) – 1st trailer and his biological father Jor-El (Russell Crowe) 2nd trailer.

The footage shown on the trailers, shows aspects of the Superman story, reflected in scenes where Clark travels the world as a man, listening to teachings about how we shape our destiny.

Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill (Immortals) as Clark Kent, a young journalist who was born Kal-El: a survivor of the fallen alien planet Krypton, transported to Earth by his parents Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer). Small-town farmers Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane) raise Kal-El as their son, imbuing him with a strong sense of integrity and compassion so that he learn to use his extraordinary powers responsibly – even in a troubled world that views him as a threat, rather than a potential savior.

Deadpool Video Game Announcement!

This year at San Diego Comic Con 2012, the new Deadpool Video Game announced at Marvel's video game panel.  Let's just say Deadpool stole the show! Now if you are not much of a comic fanatic, Deadpool is one of Marvel's funniest character, a mutant with healing powers and known as the 'Merc With A Mouth'. Marvel Studios together with Activision and High Moon Studios announced the trailer with a comic appearance by Deadpool himself.



While High Moon Studios prepared to talk about a Hit-Monkey game in development, shouts from the back of Hall H were heard as Deadpool busted the doors open yelling "Boring!" Deadpool followed by a camera crew let loose with so many jokes, in fact that he was a hologram and that he shot Tupac. Deadpool then told fans to go to www.deadpoolgame.com to see the website that he made "After three months in community college." Then after demanding to replay the trailer one more time, he got  on top of the table, yelled "That! Just! Happened! Mic Drop!" dropped his mic, and left the room to an amazing loud applause from the audience.

‘Days of Future Past’ Title for the X-Men: First Class Sequel?

With X-Men: First Class officially on the way, due in theaters on July 18, 2014, with the cast and director Matthew Vaughn all expected to return for the sequel, there is news going around that that 20th Century Fox has reached out to the MPAA to secure a title for the 'X-Men First Class' forthcoming sequel. 

Now if this news update appears true, that title is going to send a wave of explosion of geek excitement across the world.  If you're an X-Men fan, you know this goes directly into Marvel Universe, which remains to be one of the most famous and amazing X-Men story lines of all time. 

The title “Days of Future Past” is taken from the two-issue Uncanny X-Men comic book storyline written in 1981 by legendary X-Men writer/artist team Chris Claremont and John Byrne.  In the story, the X-Men are trying to stop the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (led by Mystique) from killing an anti-mutant political figure named Senator Robert Kelly. This pivotal event creates a separate timeline in which the X-Men fail to stop the Kelly assassination, and as a result, mutants are hunted, imprisoned and exterminated by humanity. One X-Man (Terminator-style future dystopia) manages to travel back in time and warn the present day X-Men, who ultimately stop the assassination. Not to mention, 'Days of Future Past', mutant-killing Sentinel robots, an older version of Wolverine and more. Which all would be awesome to watch on the big screen.  And I might be on a height of excitement here but this plot could also open the door for the franchise to introduce time-hopping X-Men like Bishop or Cable to the mix.

'Days of Future Past' is an awesome story alone and would help welcome anything that could straighten out the continuity of the movie. Meaning this could give 20th Century Fox new options on how to approach upcoming X-Men films.

Release Date: July 18, 2014

From the destruction awakes Rosa, a cyborg deployed from the Kernel project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem. Rosa will soon learn that she is not the only entity that has awakened and must fight for her survival."

X-Men First Class Movie Sequel | Lauren Shuler Donner on Future of X-Men!

With the release of Blu-ray and DVD today of X-Men First Class, X-Men movie producer Lauren Shuler Donner has become a quotable woman! There are blogs, interviews and postings of her words everywhere on the net! But I want to share them with you all!  So are there hopes in finding Cyclops, Deadpool, and Jean Grey in the X-Men First Class Sequel? Well, read on my friend and find out.  One thing we know for sure is, they want to stay in the next [time] period.

On The Wolverine:

“It’s much more of a standalone. [We want] to distinguish it from the other one… I’m not sure when we’ll start. Maybe summer 2012 we’ll start shooting. It’s based on Hugh [Jackman]’s schedule, frankly. When he’s available, we’ll film. He’s doing Les Miserables, and then he has to come and train for us. So it’s all dependent on him.” HitFix

On Deadpool:

“We’re working on getting it ready, and presenting some things to the studio, cause we’re gonna give it a little bit of a different look. It’s a different kind of movie. If you know Deadpool… it’s true to Deadpool. So you know, it’ll be violent, and outrageous, and funny, and all that.” HitFix


“With Ryan [Reynolds] absolutely. Can you see anybody else in it?” IAmRogue

“[Deadpool] was treated totally wrong in the Wolverine film and yes we will redeem him. We have a few more things to do and then it’s up to the studio to decide whether we’re going to go forward or not.” Total Film

On X-Men: First Class Sequel:

“I hope so. We’re talking about it, you know, we’re seriously talking about it. We definitely want Matthew [Vaughn] to come back. Absolutely!” HitFix

(And on whether Cyclops and Jean Grey might appear…)

“Maybe. Let’s just say, I hope so.” Home Media Magazine

“Well, if we were going to sequelize this and keep on going, we would stay in the next [time] period. Probably we’d go to the 70’s.” Crave Online

On The Hellfire Club nearly-movie:

“Bryan [Singer] wanted to bring another element into [X-Men: First Class]. I had always wanted to do the Hellfire Club because they’re really fascinating. I almost wanted to spin them off into another movie. So I mentioned the Hellfire Club to him and he grabbed and said, ‘That is a great idea.’… [the spin-off] didn’t get to script. It got to formulating who we would use and which story we would use because there’s the whole Jean Grey part of the Hellfire story… I like the whole Jean Grey involvement. I thought that was really interesting.” Total Film
