The Dark Knight In Final Talks To Join The MCU Spider-Man Reboot?

Just a few weeks ago it was rumoured that 1989's Batman himself, Michael Keaton, was in talks to play the lead villain role in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot of Spider-Man, titled Spider-Man: Homecoming. After that news got out, the rumour was put to sleep and nothing came out about it. Some said the negotiations fell through.......UNTIL NOW!!!
Today, word has got out that Mr Keaton, star of the critically acclaimed film, Birdman, is said to be in final talks to playing the main villain, wether it be The Vulture, as previously speculated OR......the MCU version of Norman Osborn, who will, as we all know, will at some point transform into The Green Goblin. The character of Vulture was on the cards as a main villain waaaaaaay back when Sam Raimi was in charge of the Spidey franchise. He wanted him as the lead villain for Spider-Man 4 and was to be played by the great John Malkovich.
The Vulture is an interesting character, as long as he's done right and not just a version of The Green Goblin, with wings. This, I am looking forward to.

FN-2187 Set To Join The Cast Of Black Panther?

John Boyega aka everyone's favourite Stormtrooper who said fuck you to The First Order, Finn, is the latest name on the cards to join Chadwick Boseman aka Black Panther in his first solo outing in the MCU in 2018.
It's unknown what role Boyega is up for, wether it's good or bad, but he's joining an amazingly growing cast of black American actors such as Michael B Jordan (Fantastic Four's Human Torch) and Lupita Nyong'o (Star Wars - The Force Awakens's Maz).
Rise & Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes star and Mo-Cap expert, Andy Serkis, is rumoured to be returning to the role of Ulysses Klaue aka Klaw, a character that was introduced in 2015's Avengers - Age Of Ultron.

True Detective Star Joins Marvel's Doctor Strange!

Rachel McAdams is the latest actor/actress to be confirmed to join the highly anticipated Doctor Strange movie for Marvel and Disney's MCU. She will be joining Sherlock Holmes himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, who will be playing the title role of Doctor Stephen Strange.
There is no word as of yet which role she will be taking on in the 14th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Word is that she will be playing Clea, who is Strange's lover in the comic book series.

This IS The Deadpool We've Been Waiting For!

The trailer starts and you feel sorry for this Wade Wilson guy, he's got every bad cancer you can think of and still, he's got his sense of humor. Some guy comes and says we can help you, make you a superhero. Wilson makes a few funny wee comments, no green suit, no CGI suit.....clearly a wee stab or two at Ryan Reynolds failed attempt at playing the Green Lantern back a few years ago. Shit goes down and there's an explosion that leaves our soon to be anti-hero looking like Freddy Krueger's love-child. Still, you feel bad for this guy and then there's like a different feel and tone to the trailer, it gets turned upside down, cue the Deadpool side of Wade Wilson, in all his red and black leather suit glory. Violent as fuck, sweary as fuck.......THIS IS THE DEADPOOL WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! 

Thank you so much for this 20th Century Fox and thank you for giving Reynolds a second, much-needed chance to return as The Merc With The Mouth and what a mouth he has.

Even we don't get to see the movie until February 2016, you already know it's going to be a HUGE success, critically and finacially. A sequel has reportedly been green-lighted by the company already but then again, Fox also green-lighted a 2017 sequel to this years attempt to reboot Marvel's first superhero family, The Fantastic Four and that film has failed terribly, like super duper badly. It's not THAT bad but it was less than fantastic and could've been 100 times better, considering the failures with the previous 2005 incarnation and it's 2007 sequel. But, we must keep our fingers crossed and hope that this Deadpool film is amazing and the planned sequel and hopefully franchise, kicks off nicely! 

Again, until next February, here's the RED BAND trailer for Deadpool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyKWUTwSYAs

"Guardians Of The Galaxy" First Trailer Is Fucking Awesome!!!

First of all, Chris Pratt is mega funny in this trailer and I know die hard fans of "Guardians Of The Galaxy" will probably hate this casting and the way he'll play Star Lord but I personally think it's brilliant, it's brilliant and the film WILL be brilliant.
Anyway, this first teaser trailer is amazing. The film just looks like one big sci-fi comic book adventure. It's like "Star Wars" meets "The Avengers" and BOOOOOM, we've got the "Guardians Of The Galaxy". Not much is given away about the plot but you kind of get the just that it's good versus evil and all that but in space. We have the dumb hero wannabe, Chris Pratt, who seems doppy and nothing in the beginning but later has to rise up to be a hero in the end to save the world and well the galaxy from the bad guys, Ronan, The Collector and Nebula. Then we have the walking, talking tree, Groot, who is Rocket's "house plant" and companion. And then it's Drax The Destroyer who looks fucking badass and I think Dave Bautista was perfect for the role. Finally there's the very sexy and amazing "Star Trek Into Darkness" beauty Zoe Saldana as the ass kicking green alien Gamora.
Anyway, just check out the trailer and see what you think guys and gals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3isCLVghoI

New "Amazing Spider-Man 2" Posters Released!

The "Fantastic Four" Reboot Cast Confirmed And Then Fired Along With Crew?

Hey guys and gals, it's been a while but I'm back. I know I do this a lot......come and go but this time I'm going to make this work.
So, finally the cast of the 2015 "Fantastic Four" reboot have been confirmed and revealed. Michael B Jordan will play a black Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch. Personally I think Jordan cast as Torch is awesome because the guy is a great actor. I loved him in "Chronicle" and I don't care wither he's black or white to be honest because it's all about the actor being able to act, not the race of them. Anyway, back to the cast. We then have Miles Teller as Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic, Kate Mara as Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman and finally Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm aka The Thing.
So Sue Storm is white and Johnny Storm is black so either they will be adopted brother and sister or step brother and sister or just their parents have been sleeping about, etc. I guess all will be revealed when the film is released. Miles Teller as Mr Fantastic.......couldn't get any better because he looks a lot like the young Reed Richards in the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comics, so he'll suit the role. Brit, Jamie Bell on the other hand is very interesting because Ben Grimm has always been a big baldy guy but hey-ho.....Bell's a good actor so fuck it!!!
All in, the cast are pretty solid in my opinion. Now here's the interesting rumour that's appeared online.......20th Century Fox have reportedly sacked the cast, the director and the writer just about 5 months away from filming. Obviously nothing has been confirmed but it's rumoured that Fox aren't very happy with the way things are going with the direction of this highly anticipated 2015 comic book reboot.
And now onto the casting of Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom, well if this is going to keep going with the present casting choices and young actors.

Actors Sam Riley, Eddie Redmayne, Toby Kebbell and Domhnall Gleeson have all been rumoured to be in the running for the role of Doom in Trank's 2015 reboot. In my opinion, I don't think any of the above are good choices to be honest. Doctor Victor Von Doom is a hard role to cast because you want one sinister little fucker to be cast in the role and I just don't think any of the above can fill those shoes. Personally I would cast maybe someone a tad bit older like for example Zachary Quinto? Actually, Stephen Amell who plays the Green Arrow would be amazing even though he's a good guy usually.

Jack Sparrow Being Considered For Role As Doctor Strange?

"Pirates Of The Caribbean" star, Johnny Depp, has been rumoured to be in, close to final, talks about taking on the role of Doctor Stephen Strange in the upcoming MCU entry, "Doctor Strange".
The wizard superhero is said to be taking over command of The Avengers once Robert Downey Jr takes off the Iron Man suit after "Avengers 3". This could all change if Downey Jr stays on past "Avengers 3" and decided to go ahead with a couple of more "Iron Man" sequels, which is rumoured to be going ahead in the coming years.
If Depp signs onto the role of Strange, he's said to be signing onto a six-picture deal with Marvel Studios. Three of his "Doctor Strange" films and if the rumour of him taking over from Iron Man, then he'll be in three "Avengers" films too.

Paul Rudd Cast As Ant-Man And Michael Douglas Cast As Hank Pym!

"Anchorman" star and all out Hollywood funny man, Paul Rudd and well, just fucking Michael Douglas, have both been cast in Edgar Wright's 2015 entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "Ant-Man". Rudd has been cast as the films leading superhero, but it's unknown which version of Ant-Man he'll play seeing as Douglas has been cast as an aged Hank Pym. It's assumed that Rudd will be playing Scott Lang's Ant-Man.
Douglas as mentioned that he's been dying for a role in a Marvel Comics film, or in fact, any sort of comic book film to be honest. The film's director and co-writter, Edgar Wright has said that we will see Douglas's Pym in action at the beginning of the film back in the 60's and then the story will fast forward to Scott Lang's story in the present day.

Sony Confirm Plans For "Sinister Six" And "Venom" Spin-Off Movies!

Today Sony have confirmed that they finally have big plans to bring the "Sinister Six" to the big screen in their own villains film, which is said to kick start a villains franchise that will be based in and around the present Marc Webb based "Amazing Spider-Man" rebooted franchise. They also revealed Venom back to the big screen in his very own long-awaited spin-off movie. A "Sinister Six" film has been teased for years and next years "Amazing Spider-Man 2" and the following "Amazing Spider-Man" sequels are said to set up things for the super villain group.
Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon and Drew Goddard are all in charge of bring these two and other projects in the growing "Amazing Spider-Man" universe to the big screen. Kurtzman will write and possibly direct the "Venom" movie and Goddard is tipped to direct the "Sinister Six" movie. They will all be produced by the usual producing suspect, Avi Arad.
I for one am excited about seeing these two films but find it weird that Sony want to make a full length films just about "Venom" and the "Sinister Six". I wonder if Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man will cameo in either one of them? Also, the other exciting thing is to see who Sony will cast as Doc Ock, Sandman, Venom, Mysterio, Vulture and Kraven The Hunter? There's going to be some extremely interesting casting to be announced within the next few months indeed.

First Teaser Banner For "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"

From what you can see in this teaser poster for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", Spidey is in a whole new world of shit........I mean just look at the villains!!! Rhino, like I said in the post below is in a MASSIVE mechanical Power Rangers MegaZord type of suit, Electro just being shocking as usual and even more shocking and menacing in the new film and the new Green Goblin..........just a fucking green goblin on a glider!!! Spider-Man will be knackered after this battle........

First Trailer For "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Is Here And It Just Looks Okay!

Ok, now where do I start with this, emmmmmm, well yeah, I've been looking forward for the first look trailer for next years "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" for ages now and the other day the very first full length trailer was released online to fans all over the world. The opening shot is just brilliant to be honest, it's just Spider-Man free falling and then web-swinging in between buildings......the usual thing you'd expect to see in a Spider-Man movie and with the advanced CGI, it's a no brainer.

Then we move into the nitty gritty stuff i.e. more details about his mother and father and the on-going fight to find out the truth. Again, some BIG action sequences are added in to keep the viewers happy but for me.....I wasn't. Yeah the action is amazing and will be in 3D but it just looks like there's too much to be honest.
There's too many villains and I know there's now going to be a "Sinister Six" movie coming our way in the next few years, just been confirmed by Sony, but I just feel as though the creators are kind of slightly remaking the underwhelming "Spider-Man 3". In that, too many villains, not enough story. From the looks of this first trailer, we have a repeat of that. Firstly, I really don't like Rhino's suit. It's the big mechanical suit from the "Ultimate Spider-Man" stories. The Rhino suit is just a MASSIVE mechanical Power Rangers MegaZord type of suit to be honest.

I wanted the classic suit. I knew that the suit would've been totally CGI because of the past couple of on-set pics with actor Paul Giamatti in a motion-capture suit, but wasn't expecting this. We only see like one shot of Rhino and that's in the image above. Other than that, the trailer is mostly taken up by Harry Osborn/Green Goblin and Electro.

Anyway, enough chat about Rhino for now. When we first get a glimpse of Dane Dehann's Harry Osborn.......shit goes down. It's like he already knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He reveals that Oscorp has had Peter under surveillance........hmmmmmm, why?! It's one of those teasers that will be answered next year I guess. Well I hope because there were somethings said in the trailers for "The Amazing Spider-Man" that never ever got mentioned in the actual film so here's hoping they don't bullshit us again or I'm out of the next one!!!
All in, Dehaan seems much more sinister in this one, a lot more than Franco ever was. Franco was nice at first but slowly became evil and dark whereas Dehaan.......BOOM, straight away from the moment we see him by the looks of it but they can edit trailers to look like that though.
We then see Chris Cooper as this movies Norman Osborn and boy he is NOTHING like Willem Dafoe's one from the original films. He walks past glass chambers where we see Vultures wings and Doc Ock's tentacles.

Dehaan's Green Goblin looks kickass. His Green Goblin sure is a real green monster rather than the one that Dafoe was like in the 2002 first film. The metal suit was cool but this green skin is a better suit seeing as it is his real skin that's green. He's like a green devil.

And here's another look at him from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" banner that was released just last week, but I totally forgot to post about it, will do it after this. His body suit is black and looks pretty similar to James Franco's Goblin suit in "Spider-Man 3".

Jamie Foxx's Electro is so awesome looking. I very much think Foxx will steal the show with his performance as the lightning bolt villain.

His action sequences looks so cool and will be great in stunning 3D mode. The only bad thing is that there's a hell of a lot of CGI from what we can see and that's what's making me worried about this new sequel. "Spider-Man 3" had that whole "fuck it, CGI all the way" problem and I honestly don't want this franchise going down the same line because one of the key things that made the first "Amazing Spider-Man" movie good is the lack of CGI, only used when needed i.e. the fight scenes with lizard when no stunt-double could possibly be used. The web-swinging scenes were mostly made with stunt-doubles with a green screen back drop. It was all mostly practical effects whereas this one doesn't look like it's going that way to be honest and that's just shit!!! Some of the shots with Spider-Man and Electro look like scenes out of a video game.....this is a movie, not a video game people.

Anyway, other than all that, the story looks like it'll be interesting because Norman Osborn mentions to Peter that they had a plan for you so obviously we're going to find out way more about his parents past and why they disappeared. Chris Cooper will rock as Norman Osborn. He's badass usually and will be even more in this even though his Norman is rumoured to be on his last legs already and has been since the last film, which was only film number 1 in the newly planned franchise. I just feel as though it doesn't give much character, I mean like there's just action, CGI, action, CGI, Parker's dad, Aunt May, CGI, action........I want more about the characters. Here's the link to the trailer, check it out for yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbp3Ra3Yp74

Now, here's what I have to say about the international trailer. The international trailer is truly amazing looking. It's got action, CGI and a lot more about the themes in the film and more about the characters. It's even got some humour just to balance things out evenly. I love this trailer a lot more. If they released this one instead of the other one, I'd have no problems.

Yeah in this one, still not keen on the over usage of CGI, but there's a lot more about the characters. I still think there's too many villains and yeah, Sony have the ultimate villain plan to build a "Sinister Six" spin-off franchise out of it but this is too much for one movie to take. Anyway, this trailer is far superior because we get a lot more insight into what the hell is going to go down in the next movie. One trailer makes the movie look super dark and over the top CGI and the other makes it look normal and the way I want the sequel to be. OH, and guess what Spider-Man calls Electro in this trailer and what I hope to have been kept in the movie.................he calls him SPARKLES!!!! That is just hilarious and so Spider-Man, which is something we don't see from the first trailer.
Here's the link to this one now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXhv7CoLAOo

Andrew Garfield Not Returning For Fourth "Amazing Spider-Man" Film?

In a recent interview, Andrew Garfield commented about the prospects of himself returning to play Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in "The Amazing Spider-Man 4", which Sony has set for a May 4th 2018. 
He said that his contract ends after "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" which is out on June 10th 2016. This is what he said, 

"I mean I'm under contract for another one after this... as far as a forth one? That's not anything to do with me. But yeah, I think what we're doing here is we've established the world. And now we get to really play inside that world. Use our imagination, and kind of expand. That's what this film is."

I really hope he returns for a fourth film because he is truly the right Peter Parker in my eyes. I actually think he's better than Tobey McGuire and that's saying something.........
He'll appear in the fourth film if Sony offer him the part with a big bag of cash........he'd be stupid not to. They'll sign him on for at least another trilogy. I've even heard that the third and fourth film are going to be a part 1/part 2 storyline so he'll need to either miss out in the third film or just get the fourth film over and done with then leave before the fifth film.

Bryan Singer Confirms That An Apocalypse Is Coming To The X-Men In 2016!

Bryan Singer, via his official Twitter page, has confirmed that the classic villain Apocalypse WILL be finally getting his big screen appearance in a "Days Of Future Past" sequel in 2016!!! May 27th, 2016 will see the popular super villain take on the superhero team, but nothing has been confirmed as to if the X-Men featured in the sequel will be the original cast with Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman or the "First Class" cast, with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawerence. Some sources are saying that there could be an entirely new set of characters and cast members starring in the 2016 sequel/spin-off.
It's been rumoured recently that Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman may or may not be back for "X-Men: Apocalypse" as he may be in the middle of filming the confirmed "Wolverine 2" film with director James Mangold returning to the directors chair. It's also been rumoured that Jackman himself may just give up playing the angry metal clawed character all together as he knows that he's getting too old to play a immortal character.

UPDATE: The next 2016 sequel will feature the "First Class" cast as the main X-Men of the film. There's no news on if any of the original cast members will return for a bit also. There;s nothing that rules that out though so they could.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" To Have A Subtitle?

Movieweb.com is reporting that the 2014 Marc Webb "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel is going to have a subtitle. That subtitle.................."The Amazing Spider-Man 2: The Rise Of Electro". Love the title because it means that Jamie Foxx's electrical villain could return in future instalments in Sony and Webb's rebooted franchise. There seems to be a lot more interest in this rebooted franchise this time around.
Sony have also announced that they are planning a set of "Heroes & Villains" spin-off movies from the "Spider-Man" big screen universe. This franchise has some new mega potential of becoming the best superhero franchise ever. Basically it's going to become Sony's "X-Men" franchise.
