[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”19452″ img_size=”800×449″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We are less than a week away from one of the most anticipated and for some, dreaded moment that has been over a year in the making. The premier of the final season of Game of Thrones. As we settle in for the final six episodes, it has been a time for retrospect of the previous Seven Seasons and what fans might not have known during its record setting run. For example, did you know that the character of Lyanna Mormont was only supposed to appear in one scene? You remember Lyanna? The Lady of House Mormont…

During our search through the GVN files, we have talked about characters that have either been rumored or placed on a wish list by fans who hope to see these characters in either the DCEU or the MCU. But let’s talk about a group that is pretty much set to join the MCU as part of its next phase of Marvel’s Master plan. Let’s discuss a bit of history with the Eternals. The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and they first appeared in Eternals Issue#1 which was released in July of 1976. The origins of the Eternals starts with…

With the impending Avengers: End Game, this will mark the fourth film that the Brothers Russo have directed for Marvel Studios. Each one more successful than the last. With the insane amount of work that has been involved in this climax of the Infinity Saga, you could forgive the Russo’s for not thinking too much about their future endeavors. Although, if Avengers: End Game turns the kind of business expected, they can pretty much write their own ticket to whatever job they could want. Recently, MTV News interviewed the Russos at this past week’s CinemaCon and asked them if they would…

With Warner Brothers/ DC films Shazam! off to a “super” start on its opening weekend, talk of a sequel has already been discussed by the studio and fans alike. In a recent discussion with Collider, Shazam! Producer Peter Safran explained why it might be necessary to start production on a sequel sooner rather than later. The reason stems with the young cast that portray Billy Batson’s Foster family. They’re going to look like Zach does today. So we’ve got to move quickly with the sequel, for sure. The actors who play Billy and his foster brothers and sisters — Asher…

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=hdZiTQlzk4k You may remember that when the Hellboy project was being discussed there were mentions of the Lobster Johnson character being part of the story. At the time it was being rumored that Thomas Hayden Church would be playing the character. This was mainly due to an early listing on IMDb. Now the folks at Lionsgate have released an all-new clip (via JoBlo) where the classic Hellboy character makes his live-action debut. In the clip ( as seen above), Lobster Johnson can be seen burning his signature claw mark in the head of Rasputin. Remember this is an R-rated clip and is…

As the excitement for the release of Avengers: End Game increases and the Marvel Promotional Train starts to pick up speed, many fans have started watching past Marvel films to prepare. Now the Bros. Russo have made their first suggestion for which film to watch in advance of the conclusion of the Infinity War saga and the end of Marvel’s Phase Three. They suggest that you start with Captain America: The First Avenger. This origin story tells about Steve Rogers journey from skinny draft reject to Super Soldier and America’s first line of defense against The Red Skull and Hydra. With…

When it comes to marketing, presentation is important. At least that is what I seem to remember from my old graphic design class. With that in mind, the CW has apparently released their new logo for their upcoming Lost Boys reboot. You remember the Lost Boys, right? It was Joel Schumacher’s 1987 film that combined comedy and horror while trying to make Vampires cool. It starred Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, (all the Corey’s), Jamie Gertz and Dianne Wiest. The CW has made itself a niche by taking older projects like the Lost Boys and trying to…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14030″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]So I have come full circle. My very first post on this site back in July of last year was about Shazam! and my initial misgivings about Zachary Levi as the titular character. I said then that once I understood the premise under which they were working, I could see the casting. Fast forward eight months (time goes fast in posting time) and I went to see the early Fandango premier of Shazam! given the opportunity. Since the film does not hit all the theaters until April 5th, I will refrain from ruining the major plot and…

Since the passing of Marvel’s Stan Lee, it has been unsure of how many more cameos he had put on film. One film that will not have a cameo is X-Men:Dark Phoenix. They will instead have a tribute to the legendary creator of so many of the characters the films are using today. This will be much like Captain Marvel did in it’s opening Marvel Montage (although they also had a cameo appearance). This was confirmed by X-Men Movies producer Hutch Parker and Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg. We don’t have a cameo,” Kinberg revealed. I’d rather say that than then keep it…

Tom Holland has made the role of Spider-Man his own. Fan’s everywhere have extolled the virtues of his performances, especially in his end scene of Infinity War with Robert Downy Jr. when he apologized to Mr. Stark for leaving after saying he didn’t want to go. Unfortunately, the other reputation the young man has developed is for not being able to keep a secret. This is problematic in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when so much secrecy is involved in their plots. Because of this, the Russo Brothers have tried to eliminate the problem for Holland by not giving him anything…
