Well that moment has come for Captain Marvel. There has been much conversation about this film, with a lot of the talk centering about comments made by Star Brie Larson about diversity and inclusion that some took offense to. These comments had little or nothing to do with the film itself. Other objections were based more on the fact that the film’s main character was a woman and a bad ass one at that which seems to…

Unlike many of the more mainstream characters that most fans are familiar with, i.e. Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, some of the names mentioned might not be known. At least not to fans who are not submerged in comic lore. As a service to those who might not be as familiar with these characters, we will try to assist you and perhaps…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17865″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]It was reported recently that Sony had plans to develop some of their Marvel assets into possible new television series. With this in mind, We Got This Covered has learned that one possibility is adapting Marvel’s Agent Venom. For those unfamiliar, Agent Venom is the alter ego of Flash Thompson, Peter Parker’s old high school bully. He becomes infected with the Venom symbiote just like Eddie Brock. Unlike Brock,  the disabled soldier manages to gain control of the parasite and becomes a militaristic anti-hero. In addition, Tony Revolori who played Flash in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Far From Home, is possibly…

And DC Films presents Patty Jenkin’s Wonder Woman 1984 in June of 2020, it will do so with the realization that it is not a sequel. This is according to Wonder Woman 1984 producer Charles Roven — the veteran producer behind Justice League, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and others. In fact, Jenkins herself is trying to stay clear of considering her latest work a sequel. She believes it can stand on its own as Roven explains in a recent interview with Vulture. She was just determined that this movie should be the…

They have made their choice as Patrick Brice, the director behind Creep, The Overnight, and Corporate Animals, has been chosen to take the helm. Henry Gayden, the screenwriter for Shazam! penned the adaptation, and it is being produced by Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and James Wan’s (Aquaman) Atomic Monster. Production for the film which is reported to be a combination…

In the case of The Talisman, it actually was planned for both. King and Peter Straub’s popular fantasy novel was originally planned for a TV series by Stephen Spielberg’s Amblin Entertaiment who had purchased the rights to the book. Somewhere along the way Amblin changed direction and now is adapting the story into a film. Perhaps the success of King’s IT reboot lead to their change of plans. With their course now…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17675″ img_size=”825×464″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]It has been pretty much verified that Marvel will be making a Dr. Strange 2. Other than that, details have been in short supply other than Benedict Cumberbatch will be reprising his role as the titular character. However, could a since deleted Tweet from Dr. Strange Director Scott Derrickson be teasing an appearance for Namor? The tweet which was captured by SuperheroPOLL! Plus+ shows the cover from 2011’s Fear Itself: The Deep #1, that depicts Dr. Strange and Namor. Included was the text: Are you Experienced? Deleted tweet from Mr. Scott Derrickson If you can get your…

Abrams Star Wars IX that this film would be the conclusion of the Skywalker story. However, with so much discussion about Star Wars spinoffs and branch off stories for the Disney+ Streaming Service and other proposed films, it has been wondered if the Skywalker history might be revisited. In a recent interview with the Today Show, Oscar Issac, one of the stars of the film explained that this will indeed be the culmination of 40 years and nine different stories told. It is…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17578″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Part of the Marvel Universe that was outside of Marvel Studios control included the Fantastic Four and some of their connective characters. This included Dr.Doom, the iconic villain that was synonymous with the Fantastic Four. Noah Hawley, Fargo and Legion show runner had been developing a script for a stand alone film centered around the Ruler of Latveria for 20th Century Fox. It was assumed that the soon to be completed purchase of Fox by Disney might push the project forward.  That appears to not be the case. Speaking with Hollywood Reporter, Hawley reported that he had talked with…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17566″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When former Hulu exec Mike Hopkins was brought on to head Sony Television division, he knew he had some serious competition in the market. He also knew he had some ammunition in his arsenal with Sony’s Marvel relationships. They have a license with Marvel for a large library of characters in addition to their number one asset, Spider-Man. Their goal is to take advantage of this by not only using them on the big screen, i.e. the Academy Award winning Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, and their successful Venom film, but on the TV Screen as well. Hopkins laid out a…
