“I would love to see him as part of The Avengers. Because there’s a great dysfunction among that team, and I think Wolverine would fit right into that. He’d like that.”

That would result in a worldwide geek-gasm! Here is how Jackman sees that interaction going down:

“There’s no doubt he’d get in a fight with Hulk at some point. Those two bad, rage-filled characters are going to square off at some point. It would be quite fun. I don’t know how much fun to shoot it would be because I’m sure I’d be on the worst end of it, but hey, he can heal.”

Without a doubt the two toughest brawlers in the Marvel Universe would have to go at it. We wouldn’t expect any less. Wolverine and Hulk have had some of the most epic battles in comic book history. It hurts me deep inside knowing that this will never happen in a live-action film.

Jackman also thinks that Logan would have problems with another iconic Avenger. He would like to see Wolverine take on Iron Man. That could shake things up a bit.

THATS GREAT HE WANTS TO BE IN THE FILM BUT I DONT THINK IT WILL EVER HAPPEN.  Fanboys would go crazy though!  The movie  would probably need to be rated R for anything great to really happen! What do you think?

Andrew Garfield Contracted for at least 2 More SPIDER-MAN Films

The news comes from The Daily Star, and this is what a senior source from Columbia Pictures told them:

“Andrew is already contracted to make two more films for release in 2015 and 2016.”

What’s interesting about that statement is The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is set to be released on June 10th, 2016, and part 4 will be released on May 4th, 2018. So what is this 2015 movie they speak of? Could it be for the Sinister Six or Venom spinoff films being developed? I don’t see how Spider-Man wouldn’t be a part of those, but I guess we’ll see.

The source goes on to say that they “are looking to tie him to the role for as many as a further four pictures given the huge success the franchise is enjoying.” They then add, “The part is pretty much his for as long as he chooses.”

Apparently, to help sweeten the deal and keep Garfield on board, the studio is even offering him a box office profit-sharing deal to play Spidey for another six years.

I guess the studio likes  what  Garfield is doing!  I am on the fence  about his  performance.  What  do you think?  would you like to see Garfield in the role of spider-man for  future spider-man movies?

Zac Efron up for Marvel Role?

We recently touched upon this in our article speculating about the Namor film, but it seems Marvel has reached out to Zac Efron (hot off the hit comedy Neighbors) for an unspecified role in an upcoming project that has a finished script. But what project? Time to speculate wildly!

Daredevil
http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53765f66e4b0510c9a84e183/1400266599971/?format=500w

This seems to be the most popular guess. Seeing that this is the first Marvel/Netflix show to air, it would sort of make sense that the project has a finished script. But I just don’t like the idea of Efron playing the protector of Hell’s Kitchen. In my mind, Matt Murdock should be a little older. After all, he is an accomplished lawyer. I just can’t imagine Efron in the role.

Iron Fist
http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53765fd0e4b0ccfe9439b3cf/1400266704884/?format=500w

Danny Rand. The Living Weapon. Most of Efron’s role in Neighbors has him shirtless. The guy is ripped! Danny Rand is all about physical action and fighting with the spiritual chi. This is by far the one role I can see Efron inhabiting and kicking ass. They could make the character a bit younger and it would still work.

Namor
http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/5376602be4b020043378b43a/1400266799641/?format=500w

Now this is what my fellow writer Joey Paur speculated, but I don’t understand how this would work, as Universal owns the rights and the rumor is that he met with Marvel.

Nova (Richard Rider)

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/5376606ae4b08aad017ba2d2/1400266859650/?format=500wWith Guardians of the Galaxy coming out in August and the Nova Corps appearing, it would make sense for Marvel to have a Nova movie in the works for Phase 3. Richard Rider is the Nova member everyone thinks about when they hear Nova Corps. I wonder if there will be any allusions to him in the upcoming Guardians film.

petition and pieces that went missing from the amazing spider-man 2 movie

Consider releasing a directors cut version of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" to the general public on Blue-Ray and DVD.
  • Petitioning Sony Pictures and Director Marc Webb

Consider releasing a directors cut version of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” to the general public on Blue-Ray and DVD.

Unfortunately, the film is getting a lot of hate from critics worldwide, as we can see from the Rotten Tomatoes Score.

In particular, we have seen complaints commonly arise, such as a “disjointed narrative” and a “lack of character development”.

I think, as polarising as the film is, we can all agree as fans that a directors cut of the film would be incredibly benificial to the franchise.

Some of the scenes rumoured to be in rough cuts but left out in the the final cut shown in cinemas everywhere are;

  • An attack on Oscorp by the Green Goblin
  • An alternate scene in which a tumultuous scene is portrayed differently
  • Extended Times Square and Clocktower scenes
  • Another Peter/Gwen scene.
  • A scene with Max and his Mother
  • A possible espionage plotline in regards to Oscorp.
  • Mary Jane scenes
  • Norman Osborn “Head Scene”

I think it is clear, as fans of the spider-man franchise, that we should see what the ultimate vision of the director was. I think it is important that we can see the directors cut of the film, regardless of how long it is, so we can properly appreciate the huge amount of effort that went into the film. I think as fans, we could really appreciate this! The audience still enjoyed the film, as evidenced by the audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but I think the film has the potential to be even greater in a directors cut.

The scenes I mentioned have been hinted at through interviews with Marc Webb. Other scenes mentioned were in a rough cut shown to a select few in March of this year. It is clear these scenes are not only filmed, but done over with CGI, as evidenced by the viewers of the rough cut of the film. Whilst it isn’t perfect, there is no reason why this could not work in a directors cut.

I must add that I feel that some of these scenes would tie up plot holes, and serve as transition scenes in order to make the tone feel more natural throughout the movie, an extra max scene would help the audience sympathise with him more, and an extra goblin scene would make his appearance seem a little less rushed.

Support the idea? Please share this to spiderman fans everywhere, and especially Marc Webb. He is quite active on twitter, so I strongly believe a large enough push from the Spider-Man fanbase could convince him to respond to this.

Amazing Spider-Fans to Sony: Release the Deleted Scenes

Posted on by

Did you feel that there was something missing from The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Something that would tie the whole movie together? A number of somethings, even? Some visual, almost scenic things which, added into the movie, would make it a better whole?

Well, if so, then you’re not alone. Whats more, a petition has gone up on change.org asking Sony to release a director’s cut of the film, including scenes that were spotted in Teaser Trailers, but not in the final release.

The petition also asks fans to share the idea not only with Spider-Fans everywhere, but specifically with Marc Webb, the film’s director.

It’s an interesting approach – chasing the director of a film to produce a director’s cut, only weeks after it’s initial release.

I know  i felt like there was  alot missing  and i know  i would like to see a r rated directors cut and  more  extended  scenes!  where are you with all this?

Marvel’s New Series AGENT CARTER, Poster

Posted on by

marvels-new-series-agent-carter-has-a-poster

In another attempt to keep the success ball rolling, Marvel has announced that they are going to make a spin-off of Captain America called Marvel’s Agent Carter. They’ve already released a teaser poster for the show that you can check out above. Here’s the synopsis:

“Marvel’s Agent Carter,” starring Captain America’s Hayley Atwell follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life–Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” along with the short “Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.” Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, “Marvel’s Agent Carter” is executive produced by Christopher Markus, Steve McFeely, Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Jeph Loeb.

I am not so sure about this i am starting to wonder if marvel is starting to stretch their resources too thin.  Time will tell!  I  didnt much like  agents of shield when it first aired! what are your thoughts?

Joe Quesada Offers Details on DAREDEVIL Series

Posted on by

In a recent interview with CBR, Marvel’s chief creative officer Joe Quesada talked a little bit about their upcoming Daredevil Netflix series. The series is currently being developed by Cabin in the Woods director and co-writer Drew Goddard. This will be the first of the four new series that are being made, and I can’t wait to see what Marvel does with this character. One of the coolest things he had to say is that the show is being planned as essentially one 13 hour long movie!

Here’s the part of the Q&A where Quesada discusses the Man Without Fear:

With the Netflix shows, we know a little bit about it at this point — the list of shows, that “Daredevil” is the first one going into production, and that Drew Goddard is heading that series up as showrunner. Have you been working closely with the writers on that one? What’s your level of involvement with “Daredevil”?

“I’ve been working very, very closely with the entire team on all levels of the show. I think everybody knows my relationship with the character of Daredevil, and how important the character is to me — not just on an emotional front, but on a professional front. How DD brought me back here to Marvel, and how instrumental he was to even me being in this particular position I’m in today. I’m very involved with the show, as well as everything that we’re doing with the Netflix shows. I’m incredibly excited, plus the dark and gritty noir world of DD and the Netflix characters, it’s kind of where I live so it naturally attracts me to begin with.”

It’s fair to say a lot of people weren’t satisfied with the last live-action “Daredevil.” How much is the goal to really get it right this time, and maybe erase some of the negative thoughts people had with the past live-action Daredevil?

“Let me be clear, we’re not going into this show with the idea of trying to erase the memory of anything that came before or really any preconceived notions whatsoever. We’re going into the show trying to create something that’s incredibly exciting, incredibly engaging, and will give our fans something that they love, something that’s unexpected, something that’s going to keep them coming back for more. That’s really, ultimately, the goal of this: How do we produce a “Daredevil” TV show on Netflix, that’s going to be viewed the way that people view content on Netflix, in a way that’s going to be compelling, feels unique, while bringing something that is not only true to the character, but providing something unexpected as well.”

Right now Marvel has both a show on a traditional network, “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and multiple Netflix series in the works. What do you see from the creative side as some of the advantages of the Netflix format, and the “everything all at once” rollout that their shows get?

“One of the advantages is really from the planning stage — obviously it’s much easier to work with a smaller number of episodes than it is with a larger number of episodes. We can sit there and look at 13 episodes and plan it out as a very large movie. It makes seeing the bigger picture a little bit easier. You can’t deny that there will be binge-viewing. You know that there are going to be some Marvel fans that when this show premieres, they are going to go on to Netflix, and they are going to sit there for 12 to 13-plus hours, and watch the entire thing all the way through… Even the way that you parse out information and reveals within the show can be different than you would on weekly TV. With weekly TV, you sit there and go, “The audience may not want to wait two or three weeks to get this particular bit of information.” Whereas with Netflix, we might be able to hold onto a particular piece of information, because they may just watch it two hours later.”

I am wondering what can be  done for this series and if it has what it takes to be a decent tv show!  Only time will tell I am hoping its going to be  good. What do you think? we want to know!

Channing Tatum to Star as Gambit in Solo Film Following X-Men: Apocalypse Read more: Channing Tatum Will Star as Gambit in a Solo Film Following X-Men: Apocalypse

Posted on by

tatum gambit 3Following the reveal this morning that Channing Tatum will play the X-Men character Gambit, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that he will in fact debut in 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse right before appearing in his own solo spin-off film.

Though no writer or director have been attached to the project, it’s possible that “Gambit” could be the “Untitled FOX Marvel Movie” which is currently set for release on July 18, 2018. Check back for more information on the project as we learn it. What do you think of Tatum’s casting as Gambit?

Created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990, the New Orleans native mutant quickly became a fan favorite due to his kinetic energy manipulation abilities and penchant for stealing. The character’s only big screen appearance to date (outside his name being featured as an Easter egg in X2) was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Taylor Kitsch.

The Fantastic Four Adds Reg E. Cathey as Sue and Johnny Storm’s Father

Posted on by

Reg E. Cathey
With production having officially started this week for The Fantastic Four, The Hollywood Reporter brings word that “The Wire” and “House of Cards” actor Reg E. Cathey has joined the cast of the film as Dr. Franklin Storm, the father of Sue (Kate Mara) and Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan).

Accused of murder and thought to be dead in the first volume of the comic series, Dr. Storm actually operated on and saved his daughter’s life when she suffered a life threatening injury at the hands of the Mole Man. Following his actual death just one issue later, Sue and Reed named their first child Franklin after him. In Marvel’s “Ultimate” universe, however, Dr. Storm is partially responsible for the creation of the Fantastic Four. Could we be seeing this version of the character on the big screen?

Jamie Bell, Jordan, Mara and Miles Teller will play the titular team in the upcoming film, which will also see Toby Kebbell as Victor Von Doom and Tim Blake Nelson as Harvey Elder, aka The Mole Man. Directed by Josh Trank, The Fantastic Four is set for release on June 19, 2015.
