When Wonder Woman 1984 was in production, the idea of a November 2019 release was pretty exciting when combined with the release of Shazam! earlier that year. However, those hopes were dampened when it was announced that the release date was pushed back to June 5, 2020. The reasons for this were not made clear at the time but Gal Gadot posted on Twitter that the film was right where it should have been. Indeed, it was a mirror of the premier for the original Wonder Woman which was released in June of 2017. Collider recently interviewed producer Charles Roven and…

When Jon Favreau revealed that IG-88 would be making an appearance in his new Star Wars series The Mandalorian, he never mentioned if it would be a major role or much of anything else. If nothing else, Favreau knows how to build suspense. We also knew that Thor Ragnarok Director Taika Waititi would be directing an episode for the Disney+ streaming service. Now it has been revealed that not only will Waititi be directing but will also be stepping behind the mike to supply the voice of the aforementioned IG-88. Waititi had previously hinted that that he would be appearing…

Unlike the first two characters we have reviewed, DC’s Ragman has a more contemporary beginning. While Namor or Dr. Fate, had origins that traced back to the 1940’s, Ragman made his first appearance in his own magazine in 1976 and was created by writer Robert Kanigher and veteran artist Joe Kubert. Rory Regan was a Vietnam veteran. He had grown up helping his father, a junk man who owned a pawn shop named Rags ‘n’ Tatters. A man of meager means, his father always dreamed that one day he would make a better life for Rory. One night, while…

While Marvel Studios dominates most things Marvel, Sony Pictures is doing quite nicely “staying in their lane” with their selection of Spider-Man based characters. From their joint venture with Marvel on Spider-Man: Homecoming, their box office success with Tom Hardy as Venom, and their Academy Award for Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, you could say that things are looking “Marvelous.” According to Avi Arad, Sony is just getting started. They are in the middle of production of Jared Leto’s Morbius the Living Vampire and if you ask Avi, which Deadline did, fans are in for a real treat with Leto’s appearance…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18276″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Ever since Ben Affleck announced he would not be returning to the role of Batman, anyone and everyone has been mentioned in connection with Matt Reeves The Batman. One name that has been mentioned as much as any is Armie Hammer. The logical reason is that he was once supposed to play the caped crusader in George Miller’s Justice League Mortal. Unfortunately, the film to fell apart before shooting even began. In the years since that project was scrapped, his name has been almost synonymous with the role. One problem though, he was never asked to do it. He talked…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18258″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Before there was Tom Holland hanging with the Avengers, before Andrew Garfield took on a Lizard, there was Tobey Maguire swinging on the big screen with Avi Arad producing and Sam Raimi directing. While the Spider-Man mantle has moved on from actor to actor, Arad is still in the producers chair. With the success of Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, he has witnessed first hand how audiences will accept a quality animated Spider-Man film. Now he would like to make one with Sam Raimi. While speaking to Deadline, he talked about the possibility: I would love to see what kind…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18244″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Sony has made no secret about wanting to make use of their Marvel assets, especially where Spider-Man is concerned. With the huge commercial and artistic success of Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse, it only logical that they would look to spinoff from there. That is why it’s being reported by Wegotthiscovered that Sony is looking to develop a film centered around the Spider-Man Noir character that was ably voiced by Nicholas Cage. The gun-toting black and white wall-crawler with a fedora played a major role in the first Spider-Verse and made quite a splash as one of the team of…

As we continue our exploration of the less mainstream characters being discussed for future film inclusion, we will now move from Marvel’s Prince of Atlantis to DC’s Golden Age Master of Magic and Mystery, Dr. Fate. If ever a superhero needed a scorecard to keep track of his incarnations, it is Dr.Fate. Doctor Fate debuted in More Fun Comics #55 in 1940. Many Golden Age heroes got their start in More Fun Comics. As created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Howard Sherman, he started as a backup feature after the Spectre created by Jerry Siegel (he of Superman fame) and…

Reportedly, it will be the first film in the series of films by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. In addition, it is reported that it will be placed during the Old Republic, long before the Skywalker Saga began. Described as a “Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings” type of story, the film hopes to capture audiences who favor the historical “Game of Thrones” type narrative. The source also reports that pre-production art has begun on the film which would…
