With so many projects in the works for the Star Wars franchises and while many Star Wars fans are eagerly awaiting announcements about what could possibly be following Episode IX, some fans are far more excited about other things. For example, the upcoming live-action TV series being created by Jon Favreau. It promises to be the first of its kind for the galaxy far, far away. While there are very few details confirmed about the new series, it is thought that Favreau may have inferred on Twitter that he’s very close to starting production on the series. https://twitter.com/jon_favreau/status/1030586653683867648?s=21 On his…

For fans of the Dark Horse Comics complicated Hellboy character, it was both exciting to see he will be returning to the big screen and at the same time, disappointing that Ron Perlman was not again filling that role. However, when the Hellboy reboot, which is directed by Neil Marshall, announced  the casting of  Stranger Things star David Harbour in the titular role, it appeared to at least for the moment, appease those fans. Recently in an interview with Vanity Fair, Harbour discussed his take on the character and compared the paranormal investigator to his Stanger Things character, chief Jim Hopper, and explained why he…

Here’s a newsflash for you loyal readers here at GVNation…many of our writers here are Game of Thrones fanatics. We have had more than one discussion on what has transpired and what is yet to come. All it takes is for you to read many of the great Game of Thrones articles on our website to know that we take it very seriously. One of my favorite character’s has been and remains the youngest (and shortest) Lannister, Tyrion. Right from the first episode we get to know the complex character named Tyrion Lannister. Number one, we learned that he must be…

Tony Stark’s protege Riri Williams, aka Ironheart is taking flight again in the Marvel Universe. Marvel Comics has announced the new Ironheart ongoing series from poet and playwright Eve Ewing and artist Kevin Libranda. It is an exciting time for the writer who really never thought she would ever be in this position. Her excitement comes through as she tells the Chicago Tribune. “Periodically I have to sit back and go, ‘Omigosh, I’m a Marvel writer’ — there’s nothing more implausible and more amazing that’s ever happened to me. When you’re a writer, oftentimes you’re grinding away and there’s a short…

Disney has made it pretty clear that they will absolutely not rehire James Gunn for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It has been well established that the reason he was fired was based on multiple old tweets of jokes involving pedophilia and rape that were unearthed and reposted on social media. Despite a large fan outcry and multiple support from celebrities, which includes the cast and crew of Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney has refused to reconsider and decided to stand firm with their decision to fire James Gunn. With Gunn out of the picture, fans have all attempted to…

For those fans of Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes movies, it sounds like the popular actor has begun getting back into character as Sherlock Holmes for the third movie in the Sherlock Holmes film series. Downey tweeted out a GIF of himself from one of the two previous Sherlock Holmes movies, writing “Practicing my Sherlock face.” https://twitter.com/robertdowneyjr/status/1031220261578629120?s=21 In the series thus far, Downey plays Sherlock alongside Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, the two heroes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective stories. Rumor has it that the third film could begin filming in late 2018, so if that schedule were to be…

The “Picard Maneuver,” it was a thing of legend back in the days when Star Trek: The Next Generation aired. Fans of the show know exactly what I am referring to. It was the move that Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard had to do with his uniform every time the Captain had to stand. His command tunic would ride up and require him to give it a quick tug downward to keep him looking regally Captain like. When the planning for Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access, was underway they put a lot of thought into the practical consideration of…

To say that fans are anticipating the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, might be the understatement of the galaxy. You can pretty much believe that the cast is right there with them. The voice actors who have brought to life those now iconic animated characters like Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and many more recently gathered to reflect on the tenth anniversary of Lucasfilm’s popular animated series. The cast also reflected on the fandom and how The Clone Wars continues to impact their lives. You can see this on the video below: and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jDDC8rMr1Vo Ahsoka voice actress…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pWHQX9QqA” align=”center”][vc_column_text] By now everyone knows that Thanos was fully computer generated by the visual effects teams. We also know that Josh Brolin’s mo-cap performance as Thanos was the center point of the film and one of the most entertaining parts of Avengers: Infinity War. Slashfilms reveals in a new report how it all came together. They were fortunate enough to explore the visual effects house of Digital Domain to get a behind the scenes look at how the artists crafted the Mad Titan’s journey to obtain the Infinity Stones.

When I was a young man, I saw myself as either an artist for Disney or a Marvel comic book artist. I could see myself right up there with Jack Kirby or  my personal favorite John Buscema. Imagine my excitement when looking through my favorite book store and finding “How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way” by Stan Lee and John Buscema. This was my golden ticket to the big time…or so I thought. Fast forward….a number of years and I never quite made my dreams of Marvel Artistry come true however, if you’ve ever looked at any of the…
