The first season of Marvel’s Jessica Jones dropped on Netflix late last week, and many fans have already torn through every episode. There has been a ton of positive responses to it so far, with many saying it’s an even better show than Daredevil. Mike Colter’s Luke Cage shows up in the series and plants the seeds for his own series, and I suspect Krysten Ritter’s Jessica will at least make an appearance in his solo show, but will we see a second season of Jessica Jones before the eventual team-up series The Defenders?

Paramount Setting up the Future of G.I. JOE and MICRONAUTS Franchises
Not long ago, Paramount Pictures took a page from the TV production playbook and created a writers room to generate ideas for the future of the Transformers franchise. Batman & Robin and A Beautiful Mind writer Akiva Goldsman led the group, and the result of the studio’s efforts was coming up with at least five viable ideas for upcoming movies. It looks like Paramount liked how the writers room idea turned out, because they’ve hired Goldsman to oversee new rooms for G.I. Joe and Micronauts, two more Hasbro properties the studio is hoping will make big money for them down the line. Continue reading
SNL Showed Some Never Before Seen THE FORCE AWAKENS Screen Tests
Getting cast in a Star Wars film is a very big deal. The kind of role that can change your life forever, because at the very least it guarantees you’ll always be able to make money from conventions. So it’s no surprise that roles in The Force Awakens were highly coveted. Now we can see what could have been, since Saturday Night Live showed the auditions for some very famous people that didn’t make the cut. Continue reading
The 10 Lamest G.I. Joe Characters ever
With so many G.I. Joe characters created over the years there were bound to be a few useless duds that would be left behind in a battle against Cobra or any other terrorist organization. I love G.I. Joe, I grew up with this franchise, but I’ve got to say, some of the G.I. Joe members that Hasbro came up with are pretty ridiculous. Here are ten characters that really have no business being G.I. Joes. These characters are so lame it was hard to find decent pictures of them.
First Look at Gal Gadot in Solo WONDER WOMAN Film and Full Cast Announced
Wonder Woman started production recently and Gal Gadot shared the first photo of herself in the role of the legendary Amazonian Princess. She posted the image on Twitter with the following caption:
“Almost 75 years in the making… #WonderWoman is underway.”
The photo is just a little tease to get fans excited. It is pretty cool that after all these years this movie is finally getting made. Hopefully, director Patty Jenkins will give fans a Wonder Woman film that they can be proud of.
The full cast of the film was also announced, and that cast consists of Chris Pine as Captain Steve Trevor, Robin Wright (“House of Cards”), Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), David Thewlis (the Harry Potter films), Ewen Bremner (Exodus: Gods and Kings), Saïd Taghmaoui (American Hustle), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In) and Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead).
EA Has Sequels Planned For ‘Star Wars Battlefront’
Just a few days ago Star Wars Battlefront was released much to the pleasure of millions of fans who have been waiting for over a decade for another Battlefront game. Thankfully, we’re already being assured that we won’t have to wait nearly as long for the next installment in the series. Gamespot reports that just before the game launched earlier this week EA’s CFO Blake Jorgensen spoke about Battlefront at the UBS Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, California. He had a lot to say, most importantly confirming that sequels for Star Wars Battlefront are part of their plan, among other games. Continue reading
Joe Quesada Says Jon Bernthal’s Punisher Will Blow Hardcore Fans Away
Fans are looking forward to seeing The Punisher in action when he’s introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second season of Daredevil. The character is being played by Jon Bernthal, however, we have yet to see him actually act in the part, though.
While talking to IGN, Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada spoke a little bit about what’s in store for Frank Castle. Continue reading
Evan Peters on ‘Bigger’ X-Men: Apocalypse Quicksilver Scene
Many moviegoers ridiculed the look of Evan Peter’s Quicksilver heading into last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, but the speedster mutant ended up having the last laugh. One of the most memorable moments in Bryan Singer’s film was a jaw-dropping slow-motion sequence showcasing Quicksilver’s powers, as he foiled Pentagon guards’ attempt to capture Wolverine, Charles Xavier, and Magneto.
Quicksilver was a scene stealer, but his time on-screen was very brief. Needless to say, fans are eagerly awaiting his return in next summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse, where Quicksilver will be on a personal mission to find his father and gets “sucked up into this whole Apocalypse madness.” Those hoping he gets another action scene won’t be disappointed, since an even larger one is in the cards.
Frank Miller Will Write DARK KNIGHT IV and Wants a Carrie Kelley Spinoff
It looks like Dark Knight III: The Master Race won’t be the last story in the Frank Miller saga. In a recent interview, he revealed that he will also write Dark Knight IV.
The Master Race is being written by Brian Azzarello, but Miller says that the fourth chapter in the saga will come from his own hand. While talking to Newsarama Miller said:
“I thoroughly applaud what [Brian’s] doing. But now that he’s doing his, it’s now a four-part series, I’m doing the fourth.”
Miller went on to explain that he is aware of Azzarello’s story, and he told the site that he supported it. However, “he said that after he reads DK3 in full, he intends to create his own fourth chapter.” It’s this fourth chapter that will presumably close out the saga. Continue reading
Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan Talk Shared Universal Monsters Universe
Two years ago, it was revealed that Universal was eager to take their slate of classic monster movies and revive them into their own shared cinematic universe, and producers Alex Kurtzman (Transformers) and Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious) officially began developing the Universal Monsters Universe last year. Speaking with Variety, Morgan and Kurtzman opened up about their intentions with the films and how they’re currently working on establishing it. Continue reading
