When the all-new animated series Star Wars Resistance comes to the small screen some of the talent from the live-action films will come along for the ride. This includes Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron and Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma. The release of the series’ first trailer confirmed the news that General Leia Organa will appear in Resistance. Rachel Butera will be taking over the role from the late Carrie Fisher. In the series premier, “Resistance fighter Poe Dameron gives young pilot Kazuda (Kaz) Xiono the task of spying on the First Order. This was necessary because little was known about the…

This is a missing person report. While there have been reports of her possible demise. I refuse to believe it. That person is the Lady Sif. She was Thor’s lady in Asgard before Jane Foster came around. And she was loyal to her man, even begging Hela to spare him when she came to take the son of Odin. Her desperate pleas touched even Hela’s ice heart so she spared him…just this once. I have been a fan of the Lady Sif back when Jack Kirby first drew the Mighty Thor and even more so when John Buscema did the…

 As the end of Game of Thrones draws nears there is one thing that is relatively undeniable, Dragons tip the scale of power in a battle. One need only ask Jaime Lannister when his army was attacked by Denaerys Stormborn Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, her three full grown dragons and her army of Dothraki screamers. While it is true that the Dothraki did a great deal of damage to the Lannister army, it was her three dragons that laid waste to the soldiers, the wagons, and their weapons. Only by Bronn’s last second heroics (or interference, depending on whose…

Stein’s Goosebumps books, of which there were many, the 2015 film based on his books was both exciting and worrisome as they regarded the Stein books as a very personal thing. They were pleasantly surprised when it became an unexpected critical and financial hit, sitting at 76 percent positive reviews on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes and taking in $150 million worldwide. While we still have some time before Halloween gets here the recently released international Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween trailer should help get you into the Halloween spirit. Check out the new trailer…

When God of War originally launched for the PlayStation 2 it was one of the first games I purchased (along with the original Assassins Creed). It had all the elements I loved. Greek Mythology, battles with huge monsters and multiple paths you could take. Not to mention excellent graphics and man that Kratos had a great look. The PlayStation 4 version was released back in April, and God of War enthusiasts are still plumbing its lore and its world for more secrets! This includes asking about things that might seem like mundane details. Recently, God of War Director Cory Barlog was asked…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2939″ img_size=”400×800″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] In the category of you can’t believe everything you read, rumors had begun to swirl that Matt Reeves’ The Batman is finally gearing up to go into pre-production, however, this is apparently not the case. It was confirmed by Heroic Hollywood editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez that Reeves has yet to finish the script and is not expected to deliver the script until after Labor Day. It was Reeves himself who previously stated that he hopes to begin production on the project in the spring or summer of 2019. Perhaps production itself could begin at the end of this year,…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2897″ img_size=”1000×562″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Those of us who are Tom Clancy fans will remember the character of Jack Ryan on film from The Hunt for Red October and then from the Harrison Ford movies, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Not to mention films with Ben Affleck and Chris Pine. (Not an ugly Jack Ryan in the bunch) When Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan premieres Aug. 31 on Amazon, it will mark the end of producer Carlton Cuse’s nearly four-year journey to bring the best-selling novels to the small screen. The first season of the show, which cost between $8 million and $10…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2890″ img_size=”850×314″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Carlton Cuse is a busy, busy man. He is at the end of a nearly four-year journey to bring Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan best-selling novels to the small screen starring John Krasinski on Amazon, while he is also working on a film adaptation of the cult graphic novel Locke and Key with Netflix. And if that wasn’t enough, has recently signed a $20 million dollar contract with ABC to produce streaming content for them. This will be Cuses first return to ABC since his popular LOST series (he was the showrunner along with Damon Lindelof) ended over a decade…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2879″ img_size=”718×452″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Remember when Nicolas Cage was supposed to play Clark Kent in director Tim Burton’s ultimately never made Superman Lives. That may have fallen through but the Oscar-winner is getting his chance to play the hero again by voicing Peter Parker — or at least one version of him — in the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. “There are multiple Spider-Men in different dimensions that are kind of colliding together,” says Cage of the movie. “My character’s Spider-Man Noir. He’s really Peter Parker from the ’30s. I tried to channel those noir films with Bogart, and have those kinds of…

Is Batman an atheist? It’s a question that many have asked over the years and DC Comics may have just answered it. When you consider the lives that heroes lead and the evil they have to face on a day to  day basis, it might be easy for one to wonder why more don’t lean that way. The question of how there could be a God that would allow such suffering and pain in the world could make anyone question their beliefs. As far as Batman is concerned, perhaps that question has been answered in the latest Batman. In Batman…
