Punisher pictures from Daredevil Season 2

Daredevil Season 2 is currently in production, and today we have some photos from the set featuring Jon Bernthal as The Punisher roughing up a petty thug, or maybe a cop, who is obviously no match for him.

As you can see, Frank Castle isn’t sporting his classic look yet with the skull logo on his chest, but there’s no doubt that he will. I’m sure he won’t be drawing that kind of attention to himself everywhere he goes. I am looking forward to seeing what his battle costume does look like, though!

One thing is for sure: Benthal looks freakin’ badass in the role. That is the best casting decision they could have made! I would love to eventually see this character make his way to the big screen in the MCU. That goes for Daredevil too! Continue reading

Batman V. Superman Screening Gets Standing Ovation, Affleck Getting Long Term Deal

ben-affleck-bruce-wayne-batman-empire-146102

Just like he does with everything else, Batman is dominating the DC Cinematic Universe.

According to rumors from Warner Bros. insiders, the future of DC Movie slate will now center around Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight. The sudden (but really, unsurprising) pivot came after an early cut of Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice was shown to a small group of Warner Bros. executives. The big wigs were reportedly so impressed with the film, that they gave it a standing ovation.

And much of that applause was for Ben Affleck and his performance as Batman. The executives are so impressed, in fact, that they are reportedly trying to get Affleck on-board for three stand-alone Batman films. Affleck’s Batman, and these movies, would reportedly become the cornerstone of DC’s other movies, with one Warner boss reportedly calling Affleck the “definitive Batman.”

Since these reports are unconfirmed or credited, just treat them as rumors for now. But seeing as how Batman is, well, Batman, we wouldn’t be surprised if there was some truth to the story.

Would you like to see Ben Affleck’s Batman stick around for three solo films? Let us know in the comments.

Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 26, 2016.

Deadpool Director wants Cable to be included in possible sequel

I’m really hoping that Tim Miller’s Deadpool film does well enough at the box office to warrant a sequel. I know the fans are going to love it, but there’s a whole audience out there that has no idea who Deadpool is, and they are the ones who will decide the fate of the film because they drastically outnumber the fans.

If Miller and Ryan Reynolds do get to make a sequel, we know one character who will be included. While talking to Empire, Miller reveals that he wants Cable to join the franchise.

“We kind of wanted a straight-man to play against Colossus. We thought about Cannonball, but he would’ve been a stupid hick character, whereas the guys wrote Negasonic as this deadpan goth teen, which was a great angle. She turned out really well. There aren’t really many definitive Deadpool villains, apart from Cable. If we don’t put Cable in ‘Deadpool 2,’ I think we’ll be run out of town on a rail.”

It honestly wouldn’t make sense to keep the Deadpool film franchise going without the inclusion of Cable. He has to be a part of it! These two characters play off each other so freakin’ well and let’s face it: they belong in a movie together. They’ve earned it with their crazy awesome stories and adventures!

Deadpool is scheduled to open February 12th, 2016.

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES Extended Edition Will Be Rated R?!

Earlier this week we learned that the extended editions for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy will be getting a big screen theatrical release. Some people were excited while others were like, “Hell no!”

Well, there’s been an interesting development for one of the films that will be released. According to Ropes of Silicon, the extended edition version of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has been slapped with an R-rating by the MPAA.  The reason they give for the R-rating is “Some Violence,” which seems weird. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie get an R-rating for having “Some Violence.”

That ‘Jumanji’ Remake Officially Has A Release Date

Yup, Sony is officially remaking “Jumanji” — and it’s your 2016 Christmas present. If you’re of the anti-remake mindset, that news may make you as angry as a troop of monkeys destroying a kitchen. But then again, it’s hard to deny that the 1995 fantasy movie could benefit from some better CGI in the remake.

On Wednesday, Sony Pictures released its film slate through 2019 with release dates for 16 new films, including the new Jumanji, Bad Boys 3 and “4,” and a new date for Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters. News of a Jumanji remake first broke in 2012 when Sony announced plans to update the Robin Williams fantasy film for the present. Now you can expect to see a modern revamp of the movie on Christmas Day in 2016 — here’s to hoping they release an updated version of the board game as well. Continue reading

Sony Sets A Date For THE DARK TOWER

Earlier today, the folks at Sony announced release dates (and a few release date tweaks) for a slew of upcoming titles. Sixteen, all told, and a few of them are actually pretty big deals! Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters got moved up a week next July, a Jumanji remake was inexplicably announced for Christmas of next year, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver ended up with a Spring Break release date in 2017, and – in what may well be the most elaborate bit of trolling BMD’s Stephen King fans have ever seen – The Dark Tower was dated for January 13, 2017.

Sony says the Dark Tower movie – ostensibly the first in a whole series of Dark Tower movies – will hit theaters in about a year and a half.

Allegedly, The Dark Tower opens on January 13th, 2017.
