AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON – Spoiler Details on Hulk’s Future

We’ve got some nice big SPOILER details regarding the Hulks fate in Joss Whedon‘s Avengers: Age of Ultron. If you don’t want to know what these details are then don’t read ahead. If you keep on reading don’t blame me for any spoilers contained in this article. I warned you!

Before I get into the details I will tell you that I have heard some of these same rumors from various sources, but was asked not to say anything. Now that they’re out in the open I guess it’s ok for me to spill them.

In a recent interview Mark Ruffalo did, the actor dismissed Planet Hulk as being a potential storyline for a solo Hulk film. I figured the actor was just saying those things to throw us off of what Marvel is actually planning. Of course, the actor and any other Marvel rep is going to debunk these rumors until they’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t true.

Drew McWeeny from HitFix offers up some really interesting details that will either make Marvel Comics fans happy or angry. If this is true, which I believe it is, the studio will be making some more changes in the Marvel cinematic universe that won’t really follow the comics. I’m completely ok with that by the way! These changes are something we should all expect by now. This is what he says about the Hulk’s role in the Avengers sequel and where it will lead him:

“Bruce Banner continues to play a key role in things in [Avengers: Age of Ultron] and when the final war with Ultron spills onto the battlefield and out of the virtual realm, he has a major part to play. Unfortunately, that ends with him onboard a Quinjet on his way off the planet, with no way to immediately turn things around. He’s going to have to ride out the trip. It’s pre-programmed and he can’t stop it.”

McWeeney goes on to speculate that the Quinjet is most likely headed to wherever the Guardians of the Galaxy team is located. If this is true, there’s a good chance that Hulk will obviously be a part of the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel that is already in development. McWeeny goes on to explain that we’ll most likely see elements of the Planet Hulk storyline in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

“I suspect we’ll see some sequences that very much feel like they’re part of the Planet Hulk story, but the larger story will be about the Guardians finding a way to get Banner home, only to end up going with them.”

I assumed that would be the case, which is still really cool. This would most likely lead Thanos to earth, and take us right into The Avengers 3. This will allow Marvel to utilize the Hulk and build on his story without giving him a solo film yet. I just think it’s awesome that they are finding ways to include him more in the universe!

Lets see where this  will lead i know i am excited for more hulk! so smash on!

Mark Ruffalo turns down idea of a Planet Hulk Film

ewhulkOver a year ago, a rumor began to circulate that Marvel Studios was planning a “Planet Hulk” feature film for Mark Ruffalo to star in. It was quickly debunked by director Joss Whedon as “nonsense,” but it just won’t go away. Now, MTV sat down with Ruffalo and asked him if that particular storyline could sustain a film, which he seemed eager to dismiss.

“‘Planet Hulk?’ I don’t think that’s the way to go yet,” he said. “I think you need more Banner. The whole thing is just him as Hulk, on a planet, fighting other gladiators.”

Ruffalo has said very recently that Marvel Studios is considering another solo film for the giant green rage monster, but there’s not even a “skeletal version” of what it could be. What would you like to see in a new Hulk solo film?

Mark Ruffalo and The Hulk can next be seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will hit theaters on May 1, 2015.

what are your thoughts?  i know i was not  crazy about  planet hulk  i think there have been much better story lines to go with then that.    world war wulk  would be nice but  we will never see that!

Bryan Singer Teases the X-Men: Apocalypse Script


We’re still almost two years away from the release of X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27, 2016, but today director Bryan Singer has posted the below tease of the script by Singer, Simon Kinberg, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris.

As you can see, what we’re looking at is a prologue battle set at the Nile and involving the Four Horsemen, who were also seen in the end credits scene of X-Men: Days of Future Past along with En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse).

The Avengers are Coming to San Diego Comic-Con!

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53ac8286e4b0dcbdb88a7ebb/1403814573848/?format=750w

I know it seems like a given that the Avengers would have a presence at San Diego Comic-Con to promote Age of Ultron. But you have to remember that the whole cast will be in London shooting the film while Comic-Con is happening, so there was a chance that they all wouldn’t be able to make it. Mark Ruffalo has some great news for the fans though! He recently confirmed in an interview with Collider that they will all be coming to Comic-Con! When asked about it, this is what he said:

“Yeah, we’re gonna go out there.  We’re all flying, we’re flying from London.  We’re working.  We’re shooting.  We’re gonna stop and get on a plane and go to Comic Con together. It’s gonna be amazing.”

It is going to be amazing, and you know damn well that they are going to show off the first footage from the film at the convention! I imagine that Paul Bettany (Vision), James Spader (Ultron), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver) will all join the usual suspects on the stage this year. I’ve also been hearing that Marvel will make some official announcements regarding other aspects of Phase 3. Ant-Man? Doctor Strange? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

This is truly an event that you’re not going to want to miss, and if you do miss it, it’s ok… we got your back and we’ll tell you all about it.

In the same interview, Ruffalo also discussed the standalone Hulk film we are all impatiently waiting for, and the technology being used to bring the character to life. He says he’d like to see it progress a little further before they tackle a new Hulk movie.

“We’re a little bit behind on the motion capture technology as far as facial recognition in real time.  Now we have, when I put on my motion capture suit, I look in front of me and there’s me as The Hulk.  There’s The Hulk.  Every move I make, The Hulk’s making it and so you have this immediate feedback like almost looking in a mirror, but instead of seeing myself, I see The Hulk …  But they haven’t come up to speed on the facial recognition that way.  They can capture the facial – the new technology is we can shoot the body recognition and the facial recognition at the same time, so now you can integrate performance, physical performance with the actual face and voice, but by the time we’re ready to probably – if we do another Hulk – that technology will be in real time and once that happens, there’d be no limit to what you can do creatively as far as your physical being is concerned.  I can play a freakin’ parasite in the ass of a worm [laughs].

“It’s so exciting.  There’s no limit to where we can go.  I hope to be a pioneer in this space with Andy Serkis.  I worked a lot with him on this.  I’m very excited by what he’s doing.  We are retraining the studio to see this as integral a part as the first unit.  This is not second or third unit or motion capture unit.  This is first unit.  This is performance.  It’s completely driven by the actor and it has to be honored as much as anything else, so that’s kind of where we’re heading with this technology and it’s very exciting.”

What are your thoughts we  always want to know whats on your mind  when it  comes to things like this!

Nathan Fillion’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Cameo Revealed!

https://i1.wp.com/static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53a9b578e4b0d248fa47797f/1403630980504/nathan_fillion-01.jpg?w=584

Director James Gunn recently confirmed that Nathan Fillion would be making a small cameo in Marvel’s sci-fi space adventure Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanks to Schmoes Know, we might know what that cameo will be. If you don’t want it spoiled for you then don’t read any further.

A lot of people thought that he would be playing Nova in the movie, but that isn’t the case at all. In fact, Gunn himself denied it saying that the rumors have been “greatly (and entirely) exaggerated.” The character he might be playing though is still really cool! Here’s what the site reports:

“According our very reliable source with intimate knowledge of this and the production has spoken exclusively to us about this and we here at Schmoes Know have our answer:

“Nathan Fillion will be voicing the part of Cosmo, the psychic Russian cosmonaut dog that has appeared in the Guardians of the Galaxy comics.”

How freakin’ awesome is that?! For those of you who are not familiar with the character, here’s some info:

Cosmo is a telepathic Russian dog in the Marvel Comics universe. The character was created by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, first appeared in Nova vol. 4 #7. Within the context of the stories, Cosmo is the security chief of the spacestation Knowhere and a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.https://i1.wp.com/static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53a9b45ce4b051bcf3ffa9d6/1403630686737/GuardiansofTheGalaxy2-cosmoRocket.jpg?w=584

This is perfect for Fillion, and it’s great to see that this character will be included in the film. Since it’s a voice role it also keeps Fillion open for actually appearing in any future Marvel movie installments, which I’m convinced will one day happen. In the mean time, I’ll be ecstatically happy that he’ll be providing the voice of Cosmo, the telepathic Russian dog.

https://i0.wp.com/cdn3-www.superherohype.com/assets/uploads/2014/06/foggy-header.png?w=584

Marvel Entertainment and Netflix have announced today that Elden Henson of “The Hunger Games” and “Mighty Ducks” franchises has joined the cast of “Daredevil” as Matt Murdock’s friend and law partner, Foggy Nelson!

“Elden plays one of the most important characters in the world of ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’ and we’re thrilled to see Foggy Nelson brought to life by such an incredibly talented actor,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “He perfectly captures the heart and soul of this series, bringing an added resonance to Matt Murdock’s fight against the injustice in their great city.”

Henson joins a cast that already includes Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, and Rosario Dawson in an unspecified role.

“Marvel’s Daredevil” follows the journey of Matt Murdock, who was blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, now fighting against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.

Marvel’s first original series on Netflix is executive produced by series showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (“Spartacus,” “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer”) and Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”), who is writing the first two episodes of the series along with Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Smallville”).

“Marvel’s Daredevil” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

Kelsey Grammer Wants to Return to the X-MEN Franchise

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53a843dce4b0202540eefb61/1403536349602/kelsey-grammer-wants-to-return-to-the-x-men-franchise?format=750w

Kelsey Grammer was introduced as Beast in the X-Men franchise in The Last Stand, and he made a very very brief appearance in Days of Future Past at the very end. Grammer revealed in an interview with Collider that he reached out to director Bryan Singer for a role in the last movie, and says that he hopes to do another one. Here’s what he had to say about reaching out to Singer:

“Actually I called Bryan, I bumped into Hugh Jackman and he said, ‘Oh you’re gonna be in another X-Men, mate!’ and I said, ‘No I’m not, I don’t know anything about it.’ So I made a couple of inquiries, got a hold of the script, found out that it’s primarily dealing with the past and that timeline I don’t have a place in, but I saw that at the end there was this coda where he made an appearance. I said, ‘Listen, I really want to be involved,’ so Bryan arranged for it and I had a lovely time.”

It’s pretty awesome to see thst Grammer wanted to be involved with the movie even if it wasn’t that big of a part. Here’s what he had to say about his desire to reprise his role:

“I hope to do another. I hope they find some way to come up with a new story that involves Beast in my timeline.”

Grammer was pretty great in the  3rd x-men film  I didnt think he would fit in but turned out to make a good beast and it was great seeing him in days of future past,  would of liked to seen him more then a few seconds but still good to see him!  it would be great to see if he can be in more films!

New Info on Marvel’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and ANT-MAN

https://i1.wp.com/static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53a2f47ee4b014ec3a971441/1403188360932/avengers-age-of-ultron-iron-man-hulk-concept-art.jpg?w=584

Some new SPOILER filled information has surfaced for two high profile Marvel movies that I know most of you are looking forward to seeing, Ant-Man and Avengers: Age of Ultron. The folks over at JoBlo have reported details on story, villains, costumes, powers, and more. There’s a lot of great stuff here, but if you don’t want anything spoiled for you then I suggest you don’t read ahead. If your curiosity gets the better of you like it did me, then here ya go!

Ant-Man:

“Story begins with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) being a thief and single dad who has fallen on hard times and one day breaks into Hank Pym’s apartment and steals the Ant-Man suit.

“The main villain’s name is Darren Cross who, in the comics, runs Cross Technological Enterprises, a competitor company for Stark Industries and Oscorp. His cousin is the villain known as Crossfire. It’s unknown if this role will be played by Patrick Wilson or Corey Stoll. He will have a suit with a similar feel to Ant-man’s but more miltary style, yellow and black in color, and with a tendril-looking apparatus coming off it’s back (like with Agent Venom). It’s to note that in the comics Cross looks more like a pink Hulk, so there may well be some merging of attributes from other characters for this role or multiple villains at that.

“The Ant-Man suit will be much more elaborate than we’ve seen so far with the helmet being able to open and close much like Iron Man and an assortment of red lights all over the suit, again in Tron fashion. The helmet eyes will also glow red when closed. It’s said to be a much more complex and futuristic suit than we’ve seen so far.

“Ants (the actual insect) are the main ally and superpower for Ant-Man in the film. Lang will speak to the ants via his helmet, just as in the comics, which is said to be a special element to the overall story.”

Avengers: Age of Ultron:

“According to Kevin Feige, the new Avengers Tower is the largest ever for a Marvel film, featuring a large landing platform and garage for the new Quinjet within a large space that is full of windows, screens, and ‘techno stuff’ but ‘really chic’ with a lab directly in the middle where Stark and Banner work together.

“The Quinjet redesign features more chairs to accommodate all Avengers, much like the X-Men’s Blackbird. The overall design is less military and more sleek with a bigger array of weaponry.

“Black Widow’s costume update will feature not only the previously reported batons, but her suit is said to be more ‘Tron-style’ in nature with blue lights and electricity around the suit. Her enemies will now receive electric shocks or a ‘widow’s sting’ when she hits them, giving her more of a ‘superhero’ edge amongst her super-powered counterparts.

“As reported before, Ultron will be more than just a helmet, with his full face being articulated, including the mouth. All movements from James Spader’s face are used to bring more personality to the villain. The suit mock-up is reminiscent of the weapon that Agent Coulson used to shoot Loki in The Avengers, which was made from the parts of the defeated Destroyer in Thor. The suit is said to have a red firelight underneath, giving him a kind of ‘Balrog’ effect from LOTR.

“Ultron will have an army of drones that are similar in appearance to himself, minus the glowing red ‘energy’ effect.

“Similar to other reports, The Vision will be 100 percent Paul Bettany with his face and body all in metallic form, very shiny with gold, red, and green (as well as the yellow cape).”

Regardless of the director drama surrounding Ant-Man, I’m still really excited about the movie. If this information is true, I like where they are headed with it. As for Joss Whedon’s Age of Ultron, of course it’s going to be amazing!

You can head on over to Joblo for even more information on these films. They even have a few new details on Star Wars: Episode VII that you might want to check out involving Stormtroopers.

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens on May 1st, 2015, and Ant-Man opens on July 17th, 2015,

Kevin Feige Updates on Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and Potential Guardians of the Galaxy Sequels

Spike TV's 'Guys Choice' 2014

There’s a lot of interesting quotes from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige coming out of Barcelona’s CineEurope today as Total Film brings updates on Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and more. Most of it isn’t anything that we haven’t heard variations of in the past, but Feige does confirm that Doctor Strange will begin production in spring of 2015.

“[W]e think we’ll be casting probably in the next month or two,” he says, “and announcing an actor, and then we get into production in the spring of next year… Strange is very, very important, not just because it’s an amazing character study, and a journey of a man who’s gone from this very arrogant surgeon to somebody who is quite zen and literally keeps all of reality together on a daily basis… [T]here’s a whole other side of the Marvel comics, which is that supernatural side – the interdimensional side of the Marvel universe, and Doctor Strange is, I believe, our entry point into that other realm, which has dozens of characters and storylines all of its own.”

Feige similarly suggest that the intergalactic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe could continue on in Guardians of the Galaxy, although nothing is definitively planned yet on that front.

“That being said,” he explains, “there are dozens and dozens of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ storylines. There’s a group that came about in the ’60s, were revamped again in the ’80s and they changed into this incarnation that you see in this movie about eight or nine years ago. So there are a lot of other characters and worlds and stories. So should this film work, should the audience come out for this one, there are definitely places we can take it and we have ideas of where we’d like to go with it.”

What is certain to continue on is Thanos, the cosmic despot who makes an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy.

“We learn a little bit more about him in this movie,” Feige adds, “and he – and his band of followers – is the biggest piece of connective tissue that will eventually lead us back into Avengers films in the future.”

Although it’s hard to say with any certainty, Feige’s plural when it comes to “Avengers films” is likely to raise some fan speculation.

Ant-Man, meanwhile, will still come out on July 17, 2015, despite the switch in directors.

“‘Ant-Man’ is a very important character for us,” Feige says. “We like that people don’t necessarily know what it is. We like that it sounds sort of strange when you first hear the notion of Ant-Man, or a hero that can shrink, but he’s a very key Marvel character. He’s a key Avenger. He’s an important character we want to bring into our universe and Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and an amazing cast all set to start in August, we believe that we’re on the road to the best version of Ant-Man that we could have.”

Here, too, the use of the phrase “key Avenger” should trigger some additional (albeit, not necessarily true) theories about Paul Rudd’s role in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
