Sandberg revealed that it will touch on darker subjects and give the movie depth, without being too bleak. A balance, as he says. In fact, the director says to think of the movie somewhat like Ghostbusters: “It’s a fun movie. It sounds like a pure comedy, but it touches on some pretty dark subjects… I like to compare it to 80s movies like Goonies, like Ghostbusters and Back to the Future. Like, it’s a family kind of movie, it’s not…

In 2011, Reynolds was Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, a movie that has widely been regarded as all around terrible and Reynolds himself poked fun at this by “killing himself” during the mid-credit scene in Deadpool 2. Regardless, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld feels that Reynolds should actually reprise his Green Lantern role: “I swear to you, I would love to see Ryan return as…

Freedom Fighters #2 is a real deal American, patriotic issue that will truly inspire. In an era of political unrest such as we are in, something as hopeful as this comic series is something greatly needed. When we are feeling beaten down and forced to see how much those are suffering around us on the news, it’s within Freedom Fighters, as it’s always been with comic books; that we can find our strength to reflect the heroes we read on the pages. Freedom…

This recent issue of the series does not feature the actual hero Shazam, but focuses on Billy Batson and his foster family. Although, it is far from normal, with the children making their way through the magical subway ride and into a wild, colorful amusement park of sorts that would be any child’s dream. While the children are having the time of their lives, Billy’s foster parents are dealing with very serious and heartbreaking issues, which Billy is unaware…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13989″ img_size=”600×910″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Queen Mera is magnificent in Aquaman #44. Just as in our previous issue, the illustration could not be more beautiful, and we are introduced within the first few pages to Mera’s adoration and longing for Arthur Curry to return home. We are then brought back to when we last saw Arthur, living near the ocean with the previous old couple that we saw, oblivious as to who he really is. We feel for Arthur, for he is shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty and confusion. The rest of the story is mostly made up of gorgeous colors…

This follow-up series will feature Penny Dreadful veteran Rory Kinnear, who is set to reprise his role as John Clara aka Caliban aka the Creature. The Creature is the first creation of Victor Frankenstein who was last seen reciting an ode of William Wordworth’s at Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives’ grave. City of Angels will take place in 1938’s Los Angeles and will explore a culture deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. The conflict…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13931″ img_size=”800×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]With Disney+ really picking up, one of the spinoff series that we should expect to see is a Lady Sif series. The fan favorite hasn’t been seen in the MCU for a while, considering the actress’s schedule; but a mini-series featuring the Asgardian warrior would certainly be enough to satisfy disappointed fans who wanted to see her in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. According to We Got This Covered, another familiar character who hasn’t yet made his MCU debut may premiere on the Lady Sif series. Beta Ray Bill was almost in Ragnarok, but as we…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13919″ img_size=”825×464″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]In a word of the MCU, it’s easy to forget that we have had Marvel movies that were made and released before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was born. One of these that is constantly being brought up is Blade and the want/need for fans to see Wesley Snipes back in action as the gritty character. Snipes himself has been pushing to bring this character back and though at one time John Ridley was developing a return, the project never took off. You know who would be perfect for the task? The Punisher’s showrunner Steve Lightfoot and it’s…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”13911″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]When The Punisher season one hit Netflix, there was no doubt there’d be a second season. And after Friday’s premiere of the explosive sophomore season, we’d all assume that the Jon Bernthal led series would, of course, be renewed. But, we are living in a time of uncertainty with Netflix, as it’s already canceled three of its five Marvel shows. And after Daredevil’s stellar third season, it was canceled, so is any other show truly safe? If there was a third season, showrunner Steve Lightfoot commented on what he’d like to see: “Yeah. All those guys are…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”12966″ img_size=”800×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]As we sit together, I believe we can acknowledge that Daredevil Season Three was Daredevil’s best. Not only that, but the best (tied with Punisher season two) of all the Netflix series and seasons. If this season had come out a year ago, it would have certainly gotten renewed in a heartbeat. But, with Netflix gladly canceling all of its Marvel content, Daredevil was an unfortunate casualty – shocking both fans and those involved in the series. Deborah Ann Woll, who has played Karen Page in Daredevil and a few seasons of other Netflix Marvel shows; commented on…
