Marvel and Sony have finally decided on the young actor who will play Spider-Man in the MCU. According to Variety, they’ve cast Tom Holland in the heroic role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. He beat out the likes of Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), and Matthew Lintz (Kill the Messenger). So once again, the Queens, NY native Peter Parker will be played by a Brit! Continue reading
Because Nick Fury was a major player in last year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, many Marvel fans were surprised by the absence of Samuel L. Jackson’s name on the official Captain America: Civil War cast list. While promoting his new action adventure, Big Game, the Academy Award nominee revealed to IGN that he’s as surprised as anyone to be left out of the (admittedly still massive) Marvel ensemble. Continue reading

Even though Captain America: Civil War is a Captain America movie, the film has a line-up of superhero characters as big as what you would find in an Avengers film. The main cast has already been announced, and one character that a lot of fans were hoping for wasn’t on the list — Mark Rufallo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk. But maybe that has changed! Continue reading
Avengers: Age of Ultron has already made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office and it hasn’t even opened in the United States yet. That’ll happen later this week, and I’m guessing it’ll surpass Furious 7 as the highest-grossing movie of the year…at least until Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out. Meanwhile, the actors that comprise the Marvel superhero team are on their seemingly-never-ending press tour, and Chris Evans spoke with Esquire and revealed the filming schedule for the highly-anticipated two-part mega-sequel Avengers: Infinity War. Continue reading
Although Variety technically broke the news a few weeks ago, Daniel Brühl has officially confirmed to The Independent that he will appear as the villain Baron Zemo in “Captain America: Civil War”, but with one little twist: He will be playing Baron Helmut Zemo, Continue reading
Back in 2014, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced the third phase of Marvel Studios’ master plan. A few months later, Spider-Man was added to the roster. Sony Pictures and Marvel were in talks during this time trying to figure out how they would make it all work. Well, thankfully it did work out and Spider-Man will be making his first appearance in the MCU in Captain America: Civil War.
Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier and will return for Captain America: Civil War, are cementing themselves as Marvel’s main movie executors.
The brothers will direct both parts of the studio’s Avengers: Infinity War, taking over the billion-dollar franchise from Joss Whedon, who directed the first two Avengers films. (The second one, Avengers: Age of Ultron, opens May 1.) They’ll film Infinity War in one long shoot beginning sometime in 2016, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
No writers are attached, but the brothers will likely reunite with Winter Soldier’s Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. They collaborated on Civil War, which the Russos will begin shooting next month.
The new deal raises the question of the status of the Russos’ deal with Sony. The duo signed a three-year first-look deal with the Culver City-based studio in March. Working on an Avengers movie is an all-consuming endeavor, so how active they will be within that deal remains to be seen.
Civil War, for which the brothers are in preproduction and which is considered to be a mini Avengers movie due to the large cast of heroes, has a May 6, 2016, release date. Infinity War — Part 1 and Infinity War — Part 2 are slated to be released May 4, 2018, and May 3, 2019, respectively.
The Infinity get is a massive feather in the duo’s cap and marks the latest in an incredible career trajectory. The Russos began in television comedy, directing episodes of Arrested Development in the early to mid-2000s, and continued to work in the field in 2012 with Happy Endings and Up All Night. It was their work on some of the geeky episodes of Community, however, that led to Winter Soldier — a movie that grossed $717.7 million worldwide.
