Elizabeth Olsen Confirms Scarlet Witch Role in Avengers: Age of Ultron

Posted on by

 

About a month ago, Samuel L. Jackson confirmed that Elizabeth Olson was playing Scarlet Witch in Joss Whedon‘s Avengers: Age of Ultron. In a recent interview with MTV, Olsen says that she doesn’t know much about the story yet. She does however discuss her character and talks about once again working with Aaron Taylor-Johnson who is playing Quicksilver. The two recently worked together on Godzilla, and here’s what she said,

“We get to play husband and wife, and we get to play twin brother and sister. It’s also fun because even though in Godzilla we play husband and wife, we don’t have a lot of scenes together. I just love him. I love his family. I love his kids. I’m so excited…to actually work with each other. I think it’s going to be fun.”

She goes on to talk about Whedon saying,

“He’s very smart. He’s too smart. He might be too smart. Some people are too smart for their own good, but he’s amazing.”

Olsen and Johnson are going to make a great team in the film, and I’m excited to see how Whedon plans on portraying these two characters.

Three New Photos From The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Revealed

Posted on by

Three new photos from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 have come in today via The Times of India. Check them out below!

Opening in theaters on May 2, 2014, the Marc Webb-directed sequel stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field, Chris Cooper, B.J. Novak and Sarah Gadon.

In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

Coblie Smulders confirmed in a recent interview with the Calgary Herald that she would reprise her role as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill in Joss Whedon‘s Avengers: Age of Ultron. Here’s what she said,

“I think I’m in Avengers 2, but it is very top secret. I hope I’m in Avengers 2. I didn’t get my invitation yet. Well, actually, they know I’m in it but they don’t know to what degree I’m in it.

“I am really excited to read the script because they are introducing Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch into the Avengers universe and the bad guy is going to be very interesting.”

That bad guy she’s talking about is, of course, Ultron, who is being played by James Spader. I actually like the Maria Hill character, and maybe next time around she’ll be given a bigger role with some more action.

Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released in theaters on May 1st, 2015. Production on the movie will begin in March 2014.

We’ve got a couple cool videos for all of you X-Men fans out there. The first one gives us an alternate ending to The Wolverine, and it features Logan getting a box that contains his classic looking Wolverine costume. I really would love to see Jackman in that thing! Maybe somewhere down the line we will. We already know that Fox is moving forward with another solo film.

Biggest. Marvel. News. Ever. Superheroes assemble!

Posted on by


Something huge just happened. Like an alignment of interplanetary forces, Internet distribution giant Netflix have teamed up with Disney’s Marvel to sign an extraordinary deal. Fans can expect several original series focussing on four of Marvel’s biggest hitters, to start 2015.
The epic super-program – working title Flawed Heroes of Hell’s Kitchen – will begin with Daredevil, seguing into Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, who all have interlinking stories in the original Marvel Canon.

Jewel (Jessica Jones)

Just to clarify: Marvel + Disney x Netflix = MEGA TV EVENT!
The multi-season mega-series will play out across years of epic Marvel action centred around Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Netflix signed on to four seasons of thirteen episodes as a minimum, which may develop into more if the show is popular. Hmmm, do you guys think that an epic, original Marvel TV show is going to be popular?

Alan Fine, Marvel’s President of Entertainment, certainly thinks so. Fine said of the project:
This deal is unparalleled in its scope and size, and reinforces our commitment to deliver Marvel’s brand, content and characters across all platforms of storytelling. Netflix offers an incredible platform for the kind of rich storytelling that is Marvel’s specialty.

This serialized epic expands the narrative possibilities of on-demand television and gives fans the flexibility to immerse themselves how and when they want in what’s sure to be a thrilling and engaging adventure.
Marvel Television (who have been owned by Disney since 2009) will produce the show with ABC Television studios, as original Netflix programming. Netflix, for their part, seem pretty pumped for the upcoming TV super-event. Chief Content Officer for Netflix, Ted Sarandos enthused:
Marvel’s movies, such as ‘Iron Man’ and Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’, are huge favorites on our service around the world. Like Disney, Marvel is a known and loved brand that travels. With ‘House of Cards’ and our other original series, we have pioneered new approaches to storytelling and to global distribution and we’re thrilled to be working with Disney and Marvel to take our brand of television to new levels with a creative project of this magnitude.

Iron Fist (Daniel Rand) and Power Man (Luke Cage)

The growing influence of Netflix as a cultural powerhouse is impossible to ignore, and this new deal will only bolster that reputation. Netflix also have further ties with Disney, having secured their position as exclusive U.S. TV subscription service for new releases from Walt Disney Studios and their subsidiaries (including Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm).
You guys, seriously, this could be a real game changer. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is already making waves on the airwaves, and Flawed Heroes of Hell’s Kitchen could just blow the lid right off. Soon everyone will be obsessed with superheroes?
Are you looking forward to Flawed Heroes of Hell’s Kitchen? Thoughts, feelings, suggested plotlines/sub-characters, excited keyboard mashing: let us know!

It’s Official! Aaron Taylor-Johnson Assembles for Avengers: Age of Ultron

Posted on by

 

The actor rumored for the role since July, The Wrap is reporting that Kick-Ass and Savages star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is officially set to play Pietro “Quicksilver” Maximoff in Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Taylor-Johnson’s portrayal of the speedy mutant will be the second take on the character to hit the big screen. Evan Peters is set to play the same role in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

“We both have them,” Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told SuperHeroHype of the shared studio rights to the character last summer. “There’s a specific arrangement with those two characters that would allow us to use them with ‘Avengers,’ but not discuss or reference their mutant or Magneto-related lineage. They can use them as mutants and as Magneto’s relatives, but cannot have anything to do with ‘The Avengers.'”

Quicksilver’s sister, Wanda Maximoff (aka The Scarlet Witch), is also going to be featured in the superhero ensemble sequel with Elizabeth Olsen still said to be the frontrunner for the part. Check back for confirmation as soon as it becomes available.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is scheduled for release on May 1, 2015.

Here’s the first trailer for Bryan Singer‘s X-Men: Days of Future Past! This is the exact trailer that fans got to see at Comic-Con earlier in the year. It’s such a beautifully cut trailer that does a great job pulling on the emotional cords. I love this trailer, and this looks like it could be the best X-Men movie yet!
