Marvel Entertainment has announced this afternoon that “The Matrix” star Carrie-Anne Moss has joined the cast of “Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones” in the role of Harper, “a no-nonsense woman who could prove a powerful ally to Jessica…if Jessica doesn’t completely alienate her first.” Continue reading

The Netflix and Marvel series A.K.A. Jessica Jones just cast Rachael Taylor as Patricia “Trish” Walker. I’ve only seen her in Transformers and 666 Park Avenue, so I’m going to try to not prejudge this Australian actress too harshly as I haven’t seen her more acclaimed work. She will be suiting up as the hero Hellcat. I’m not familiar with the character at all and based on the lack of good art out there, I’m guessing she’s pretty obscure. From what I’ve gleaned, she has psionic abilities and can move objects via telekinesis. I’m fully expecting the yellow catsuit to be toned down or adapted into something far more practical.
So far, Taylor joins Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), David Tennant (Kilgrave), and Mike Colter (Luke Cage). Because this will potentially fit into the Marvel cineverse, we already have some high expectations for the quality and tone of the series.
A.K.A. Jessica Jones should hit Netflix this year.
This seems interesting. Let’s see how this plays out. What are your thoughts?

We learned last fall that Hayley Atwell is set to make an appearance in Marvel Studio’s upcoming “Phase Two” capper, Ant-Man. Rumors at the time suggested that the Peyton Reed film will feature a flashback in which Hank Pym meets with the founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D. Today, Newsarama has posted several pages from Marvel’s official comic book tie-in prequel to the film, revealing a surprising working relationship between Pym and an older Peggy Carter. As you can see from the page below, Peggy appears to be training with Pym using a very similar method to the one she employed to test Steve Roger’s vibranium shield in Captain America: The First Avenger. Does this mean that Michael Douglas’ Pym will have extensive ties to S.H.I.E.L.D.? Only time will tell, but it’s certainly looking likely. Continue reading
finally!! a fantastic 4 trailer! check it out and let us know what your thoughts are on this new movie coming out this summer!
Nearly six years after 20th Century Fox announced a reboot of the franchise, and after the superhero renaissance that has banked billions, the studio has released the first two-minute teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four, plus this synopsis: “Four young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.”
It’s, well… fantastic. From first glance, The Fantastic Four looks like it’s taking a page from the “grimdark” book of successful superhero reboots like Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/the Thing, respectively, the film has aged down its cast — and boosted its talent considerably.
Simon Kinberg, who co-wrote and produced the film, told Latino Review that the film will be “more grounded, more character driven, more emotional and a little more dramatic” compared to the previous Fantastic Four films (thank God), which might explain the trailer’s notable lack of any, well, superpowers.
Although the comic book series is part of the Marvel Universe, don’t expect Tony Stark or Peter Parker to show up in any post-credit scenes — due to complicated and annoying intellectual property issues, the Avengers and Spider-Man franchises are forcibly separated, at least for now.
So take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think. Myself i see some red flags, but as a marvel fan i will keep an open mind about the movie! what are your thoughts we want to know!
