(It’s a pun – get it?) Continue reading
When the sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp was first announced, many concluded that it spelled doom for another Marvel Studios release. And now that appears to be true. It sounds like Marvel and Disney are getting ready to push their Inhumans movie back by an undetermined amount of months, possibly years.

About nine months ago, Marvel Studios president and mega-producer Kevin Feige, the architect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, said that based on the agreement he made with Sony Pictures to share the rights to Spider-Man, characters from the MCU “could” appear in Spidey’s new movies for Sony.

With the success of the foul-mouthed Deadpool, many (including Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn) have wondered if Hollywood would learn the wrong lesson from the film and start green-lighting R-rated superhero movies left and right because it’s the trendy new thing to do. But it sounds like Disney CEO Bob Iger isn’t going to be influenced by the hottest, latest thing — he’s perfectly content with the way things are going at Marvel Studios right now. Continue reading

About a month ago, Mark Ruffalo was talking about how the Hulk will be portrayed in Thor: Ragnarok. At the time, he said, “The Banner/Hulk consciousness is beginning to meld a little bit.” Throughout the course of the films we’ve heard the Hulk say little things like “puny God,” but it sounds like the character might be more verbal in the upcoming Thor movie.
