COMIC-CON: "Avengers 2" Get's Official Title!

Whilst at COMIC-CON, "Avengers" director and GEEK genius Joss Whedon confirmed that his 2015 "Avengers" sequel will be called "Avengers: Age Of Ultron". It's called this because classic comic book villain Ultron will be the films lead villain before it's assumed Thanos will take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the third film.
On the note of Thanos, he's been confirmed to show up in next years "Guardians Of The Galaxy". It's not been confirmed if he's one of the lead villains or if he's just showing up to make himself known again.

COMIC-CON: "Justice League" Film Confirmed For A 2017 Release Date!

So while Zach Snyder was confirming a Batman/Superman film in 2015, Warner confirmed a Flash film too and now they've also fully confirmed that the "Justice League" WILL FINALLY BE A FILM IN 2017!!! That's right ladies and gentlemen.......a "Justice League" film IS coming out finally finally finally, but not in 2015 though. I think 2017 is a good time to release it. Gives Warner a lot of time to make it right. Plus, we've got Batman, Superman and The Flash to keep us going for a while.
It's assumed that Henry Cavill, the new guy playing Batman, the guy who's going to play The Flash are all returning for the "Justice League". It's also assumed that Ryan Reynold's will be returning too but nothing has been totally confirmed there yet.

COMIC-CON: Warner Announce "Flash" Film Coming Out In 2016!

So after years of speculation, Warner have finally confirmed that a "Flash" film is in the works and is set for a 2016 release date.
There's no word on who's making the new highly-anticipated film and neither has any cast members been confirmed too. Filming is expected to begin sometime next year alongside filming for the upcoming Batman/Superman film.
I honestly can't wait to see The Flash on the big screen. He's one of those superheroes who needs to finally get his own movie. I want to see Bradley Cooper or Chris Pine play The Flash, but as previously rumoured, Warner are possibly looking at "Pacific Rim" actor Charlie Hunnam to play the fast-paced superhero.

COMIC-CON: "World's Finest" Film Coming Our Way In 2015 With Zach Snyder Helming The Project!

I can't believe this is happening.........finally we're getting a Batman/Superman film and it's coming out in 2015! Henry Cavill will be returning as the Man Of Steel himself. Amy Adams and the rest of the cast of this years "Man Of Steel" are all set to return too. Zach Snyder is helming the "Man Of Steel" sequel featuring the Dark Knight, who will be played by a new actor this time around. No casting announcements have been made on that role yet or any other. 
Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" plot will be used to bring this "World's Finest" film together. Snyder is directing, Chris Nolan and his wife Emma are exec producers and David S Goyer is writing the script. 
"Man Of Steel" actor Henry Lennox came out on stage in one of the halls in Comic-Con and quoted this line from "TDKR" and this is what got the fans going that something cool was about to happen and then before you knew it, a Batman/Superman logo appeared on the screen. 

"I want you to remember Clark in all the years to come. In all your private moments. In all the years to come, my hand at your throat. I want you to remember, the one man who beat you." 

I think the new logo is awesome! Loving the new Batman logo. It's very vintage and works out well in my opinion. I'm just looking forward to seeing who will be playing the Caped Crusader and also the newly rebooted costume. 
This film is going to be just the best DC Comics film ever!!! Marvel and Joss Whedon have to seriously make sure that the next "Avengers" sequel is going up to scratch because they can't afford to loose out in fans. I've said it before and I'll say it again..........................2015 is going to be the greatest year in film ever!!!!

X-Men! X-Men! X-Men News All Around!!!

So I've gathered together ALL news on Fox's newly planned "X-Men" universe. A new universe is being planned, villains are rumoured, mutants getting their chance on screen, new films, plans with old characters in new films.........EVERYTHING!!!! 
First, let's start with the goings on with "Days Of Future Past" shall we. Popular "X-Men" villain Apocalypse is being rumoured to appear in a future "X-Men" film or spin-off because Fox have plans to expand the universe and they've planned new spin-offs and sequels. He's reportedly appearing in "DOFP" first to give fans a tease that he is out and about and will take on the "X-Men" at some point in the next few years. Apocalypse is being described as the Thanos of the "X-Men" universe. 
Here's what an insider over at Fox had to say on the fan favourite villain, 

"He's definitely a big part of Fox's whole plan for a big X-Men universe with spin-off movies. The Avengers really is the template here. Will he show up in Days Of Future Past? I won't say too much about that. You'll just have to wait and see."

Over at COMIC-CON, fans have been given a first look at Trask Industries and the "DOFP" Sentinels. The new Sentinels don't look much like the ones from the comics or even the one that was teased back in 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand". They have a new black sleek futuristic look about them.......basically they look awesome!!! Here are some images below of them from this years COMIC-CON.
And now onto what's next after "DOFP". "The Wolverine" and "DOFP" producer Hutch Parker has mentioned that, even though there are no plans yet, he sees both "First Class" cast and the original cast go on to their own films again. This means that a potential "X-Men 4" is very possible and a proper "X-Men: First Class 2" is very possible also. He doesn't mention if the two casts will meet again, but they might if this joined sequel is good enough. This is good news for fans of both casts. I previously reported that Fox only wanted to go ahead with a direct sequel to "X-Men: The Last Stand" rather than "First Class 2", but this sheds some possible light on that matter. 
Fox still have plans to go ahead with multiple "X-Men" projects anyway wither this film is good or not. Here's the link to his interview at the UK premier to "The Wolverine" on YouTube: http://youtu.be/6Nt4L8CV68Q
"X-Force" creator, Rob Liefeld, has confirmed that Fox are developing an "X-Force" will and have been since March of this year. That team is made up of Cable, Deadpool, Wolverine, Colossus, X-23, etc.
There's actually loads of them to pick from for the planned film that's in works with "KICK-ASS 2" director Jeff Wadlow. He's obviously making a good impression on himself with that sequel. I wouldn't mind a big screen adaption of that comic. Never read it, but it looks interesting enough to be made into a movie. Both Cable and Deadpool have been confirmed to be part of the team in the new film.
It's not been confirmed if Ryan Reynolds will be playing Deadpool though. He's still talking about the on, off, on again standalone "Deadpool" film. He might be playing him, he might not. Fans will just have to wait and see.
And now onto the potential "Magneto" standalone anthology/origins film starring Michael Fassbender and possibly Ian McKellen, depending on how good he is returning as old Magneto in "DOFP". Rob Liefeld also confirmed that the project is still active over at Fox via his Twitter account.
I would love to see an origins film, especially with Fassbender back as Magneto. It would be awesome to see him in a full length film on his own.
And that's it on all "X-Men" news from COMIC-CON for now..........stay tuned for more over this weekend.

COMIC-CON: The First Trailer For "The Walking Dead - Series 4" Is Here!

So the fourth series of hit US zombie show "The Walking Dead" returns to the small screen later this year and fans once again at this years awesome COMIC-CON were teased with a "edge of their seats" trailer. Shit looks like it's going to hit the fan. Everything looks like it's going on this year. Everyone truly ain't safe this time around. Who will live? Who will die? There's only one way to find out, watch "The Walking Dead - Series 4" this October, but for now, here's the link to the trailer on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Dxg27QsaIEY

COMIC-CON: Electrifying First Footage From "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"

Finally fans get a teaser look at next years big Spider-Man sequel, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". We now have a proper look at Jamie Foxx's Electro on screen and he looks and sounds brilliant. He doesn't much in the footage, but he still looks awesome though. His voice is very sinister also.
I can't wait to see more from him. I think he could actually do a pretty amazing job as Electro and out do the previous films villain, The Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans.
Here's the link to the video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/dEHcD9XFhhA
