SINISTER SIX Movie Could Still Happen If Marvel Wants It To

When Marvel and Sony teamed up to reboot Spider-Man and introduce the superhero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans were excited as hell! Of course, in the process some things were sacrificed like the Sinister Six movie that Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) was developing. I was more excited about that project than anything else Sony was working on before Marvel came into the picture.

In a recent interview with io9, Goddard opened up about his original vision of the film, explaining that it would have been standalone Spider-Man movie set in the world of The Amazing Spider-Man, and it would have featured the return of Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger. Continue reading

Simon Kinberg Confirms Plan For DEADPOOL, GAMBIT, and X-MEN Crossover

After the disastrous box office performance of Fantastic Four, it’s not too surprising that writer/producer Simon Kinberg said that film’s characters live in a parallel universe to the much more successful X-Men. But just because a crossover between those two properties seems unlikely at this point doesn’t mean Kinberg has entirely given up on the idea of crossovers. Continue reading

Fox is Trying to Figure Out Their FANTASTIC FOUR Sequel

fox-is-trying-to-figure-out-their-fantastic-four-sequelCan you believe that 20th Century Fox is actually planning to make a Fantastic Four sequel? That last film should have been the final nail in the coffin for that franchise. Even after it completely bombed and people hated it, they still think that they actually have an audience for it. Talk about being in denial. Continue reading

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE – New Leaked Image of Apocalypse Looks a lot Better

A couple of images from Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse have hit the internet. It looks like they come from a post-production editing bay being used to work on the movie, but they didn’t come from Singer. The were posted by an X-Men news Twitter feed.

One of the images offers us a much better look at Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse. He actually looks a lot more like the villain in this image, so that’s encouraging. Maybe those original photos we saw of the character weren’t the completed version of what we will see in the movie. Continue reading

Chris Evans Willing To Extend His Captain America Contract With Marvel

Captain America

Chris Evans’ relationship with Marvel Studios has been viewed as a tenuous one. He was reluctant to sign up for the role of Captain America at first, and he’s been more vocal than his co-stars about looking forward to having more time for other projects when his contract is up.

However, Evans tells Collider that, if Marvel wants him to stick around, all the studio has to do is ask:

“Listen, if Marvel wants me they got me. I’ve never had such a relationship where you have such—I mean look at my resume, I’m used to being on set being like, ‘Ah is this movie gonna be terrible?’ Marvel just can’t stop making great movies, they do it in their sleep. Its wonderful directors and producers and actors and scripts, and it’s like a playground as an actor.”

Short version: Captain America is a big upgrade from Human Torch.

As to Evans’ initial hesitation about joining the Marvel Universe, he seems pretty confident that he ended up making the right decision:

“It’s so mind-boggling that I was so tentative in the beginning to jump onboard. What an asshole I would be if I hadn’t done this. I mean can you imagine? Kicking myself—I’d never forgive myself!”

In another recent interview, Evans said that he was “terrified” thinking about being finished with Captain America. Assuming Marvel Studios doesn’t have other plans for the star-spangled suit and shield, maybe a contract extension is in Evans’ future.
