Ant-Man had a fine opening weekend, but I don’t think it did the type of box office numbers the people at Marvel Studios were likely hoping for. That means that an immediate sequel may be less likely than it would have been otherwise, which could be disappointing for fans who were hoping to quickly see Evangeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne character don the Wasp suit and take action alongside Paul Rudd’s title hero. (Spoilers for Ant-Man ahead.) Continue reading

Hugh Jackman Confirms OLD MAN LOGAN As The Next WOLVERINE Movie
Hugh Jackman appropriately kicked off the X-Men portion of Fox’s Marvel panel, confirming (again) that the next Wolverine movie will be his last, and seemingly revealing that the James Mangold helmed release is going to be based on Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s Old Man Logan…
“I’ve got three words for you guys: Old Man Logan,” Hugh Jackman told the packed out Hall H panel for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming Marvel slate last night. Does that mean his third and final Wolverine movie is going to adapt that critically acclaimed comic book story? Maybe! Some major alterations will need to be made, but it does sound like the plan is to head in that direction.
The actor followed that comment up by saying, “As I promised, this next time is my last time putting on the claws, it’s one last time,” as the image you see below appeared behind him (it seems to be a promotional shot from a previous movie starring the character rather than a teaser image specifically shot for The Wolverine sequel).
I can tell you I am excited about this news. Are you? What are you hoping to see in the movie?

Kevin Feige Responds to Smack Talk From Warner Bros. and DC
The rivalry of Marvel vs. DC has meant big business for both companies in their long histories, and that rivalry has continued into the modern film landscape. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about media coverage that makes it appear as if the two companies are battling it out, and for the most part, I’m sympathetic to those claims: I think some of these stories can get over-hyped and recontextualized to fit into that established narrative, just to fuel the fire of the rivalry. But in this case, Marvel’s Kevin Feige directly responds to a statement made by Warner Bros.’ Greg Silverman, and I’m just going to post his response to THR below: Continue reading
