We all know that Marvel’s The Avengers is a Disney property, but those of us who have been following the series since Iron Man in 2008 know this wasn’t always the case. After all, It’s not the Disney logo which appears before either The Avengers, nor Iron Man 3, but it is that of Paramount. [ Read More ]
This is either one of my biggest dreams coming true, or two companies about to confuse a movie going audience. Last month Joss Whedon revealed that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be in Avengers 2. These characters in the comics are mutants and are the offsprings of Magneto. The issue here is that Fox owns [ Read More ]

Ok. I have mixed feeling for the new Wolverine trailer. I admit some of it has to do with the fanboy in me who likes to see when filmmakers don’t mess with the source material too much. Case in point, making Viper a mutant. Why do that? She was a capable enough adversary in the [ Read More ]

In 2009, J.J Abrams and crew took on the impossible task of rejuvenating the fledgling Star Trek franchise, a feat they successfully knocked right out of the park. Now they face the equally impossible task of crafting a film to meet or surpass our expectation given how enjoyable our collective experience were on the first [ Read More ]
In three weeks of domestic release, and four overseas, Iron Man 3 has crossed (say it in a Dr. Evil voice) one billion dollars. As it stands, it’s the second highest-grossing Marvel Universe film ever, after The Avengers.

Bryan Singer strikes again with his Twitter account. This time around it’s an awesome pic of Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) circa 1973. This you can say is a further sign that the X-Men timeline has indeed been altered. As you know, Wolverine first met Professor X and is merry mutants in the [ Read More ]
It’s that time again- Bryan-Singer-tweets-pictures-of-actors-from-the-set-time! This time, we have James McAvoy as Professor X, looking very scruffy and gaudy (it WAS the 70′s…) rocking a stylish wheelchair. Bryan Singer wrote as the caption for the photo, Serpico, not that McAvoy needs to star in a remake of that classic film. X-Men: Days of Future Past [ Read More ]
It’s been over a decade since Jurassic Park III came out, and no film series has been able to fill the “Scary Dinosaur Adventure” sized-hole in our lives. Regardless, it came as a surprise when Jurassic Park IV was not only announced, but preemptively given a release date of June 13th, 2014. It seems that [ Read More ]

Kevin Feige, crazy mastermind behind all of Marvel’s hugely successful movies (and The Incredible Hulk, which, though I loved it, didn’t exactly break the bank), really likes Doctor Strange. Now, I don’t know who that is, other than that he looks like Vincent Price, but the character is apparently very popular with comic book people, [ Read More ]
Rest easy, fanboys- as long as the 81-year-old composer doesn’t suddenly die, it’s looking like John Williams is likely to return to compose the score to Star Wars: Episode VII: The Quest For More Money (Spaceballs joke title pending)!
