Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

, , 0

After a lot of waiting, a LOT of previews, trailers, teases, reveals, and more, Avengers: Age of Ultron has come out, and I have seen it. So, why review it now? Well, I feel this is a little better, as I can give a full-on spoiler filled review instead of trying to dance around the finer points. Also, this will help show why I gave this Age of Ultron review the score I did. It’s hard to believe it’s already been another Phase since the original Avengers came out (yes, I realize Ant-Man hasn’t come out, but it’s basically been a full Phase), and a lot has changed since then. In fact, if Age of Ultron had acted like nothing happened since the original Avengers, a LOT of opportunities would have been lost. Thankfully, it didn’t, and though there are some bumps, miscues, and a few unneeded moments, Age of Ultron does a really good job of keeping the Avengers magic alive, but also laying the groundwork for Phase 3. So

Are There TWO Infinity Gauntlets in the MCU???

Are There TWO Infinity Gauntlets in the MCU???

Ok, this isn’t fully confirmed, but it is an intriguing thing if it is. Allow me to set the stage. WARNING!!!: Spoilers for Age of Ultron about to happen!!!!…you’ve been warned. So, in Age of Ultron, after the credits (or at least the first half) rolled, we were treated to a short but sweet scene involving the one and only Thanos pulling out the Infinity Gauntlet and saying, “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” This is inferring that he’s tired of pawns doing (and screwing up) his job, and thus will collect the Infinity Stones himself. No problem right? We knew it would come to this, but according to Kevin Feige (via Cinema Blend), there’s a wrinkle in this tale. Mainly, the gauntlet isn’t the one we know exists in the MCU. Feige stated, “There are two different gloves. That was not Odin’s vault that you see at the end.” If you recall, in the original Thor film, there was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment where the Infinity Gauntlet was shown in his vault. That

Avengers: Age of Ultron Tops Box Office, But…

Avengers: Age of Ultron Tops Box Office, But…

, , , , 0

To no one’s surprise, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron topped the Box Office this weekend. Again, not a surprise, however, what was a surprise was that the sequel did not top its predecessor. Box Office results come courtesy of Rentrak. The original Avengers made roughly 207.7 million in its first weekend, while Age of Ultron roughly made 187.7. That’s a 20 million dollar drop. Now to be fair, this means that Avengers and Age of Ultron now hold the top two spots for best opening weekends ever (the previous No.2 was Iron Man 3 with $174 in its opening weekend), but this must come as a surprise to both fans and executives. Why? Well, numbers. Age of Ultron was calculated getting roughly $27 million on its Thursday midnight showings. Then it made a total of $84.46 million after its showings on Friday, which means on Saturday and Sunday (again, roughly because numbers are still coming in) they only made an estimated $103 million (about $57.2 million on Saturday and $45.9 million Sunday). Many

So Avengers: Age of Ultron has officially come out, and as anyone who has seen the film will tell you, there are a lot of characters in the movie. From the Avengers, to the supporting characters, and so on, it’s a lot to take in and a lot to balance. Earlier in its filming, Idris Elba (who plays Heimdall and appears in Age of Ultron) noted that both he and Tom Hiddleston (aka Loki) would be in the film for a brief scene. Yet as the scene came, Elba was in it, while Hiddleston was not. This seemed odd, as Elba seemed sure he would be in it. So what happened? Well, Joss Whedon was asked that by MTV (full interview below), and happily cleared up the whole situation. Here’s the main jist: “Tom is not in the movie… Idris misspoke… twice,” Whedon laughs. “We did shoot something, and it didn’t play. The movie has so much, is so filled and we didn’t want it to feel overstuffed. I really wanted

Joss Whedon Wanted a Daredevil Movie Instead of a TV Show

Joss Whedon Wanted a Daredevil Movie Instead of a TV Show

, , 0

In the early days of Marvel films, as in before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the company wasn’t afraid to put some of their lesser known characters at the forefront rather than go to their “established” franchises. First was Blade, which worked well (third movie not included), then came Daredevil, which didn’t work well at all for many fans. Because of that, it was a worry when Marvel announced that Daredevil would be coming back, but this time via a TV series on Netflix. Thankfully for fans everywhere, the show was fantastic on nearly every single level. But for one man, he really didn’t want a Daredevil TV series, he wanted a Daredevil movie instead. That man was Joss Whedon. In an interview with IGN, Joss Whedon stated that he fought hard for a new Daredevil film to be made, saying, “I fought for Daredevil to be a film instead of a TV show.” Now admittedly, he has not seen the show, mainly because it released as he was doing the press

New X-Men Cast Photos Appear, Plus, Is Apocalypse To End The Series For Now?

New X-Men Cast Photos Appear, Plus, Is Apocalypse To End The Series For Now?

, , 0

X-Men: Apocalypse is easily one of the of most highly anticipated movies in X-Men history. Due in no small part to the new direction the series is allowed to go into thanks to the events of Days Of Future Past. However, if a rumor caught by Screen Crush is any indication, Apocalypse could be the end of the saga that Bryan Singer started. Now for the record, this is far from confirmed, and if money has any say in this, (hint: it does), it may just continue without him, not unlike how other films in the series were made without him at the end. In fact, as noted above, Days of Future Past basically retconned much of what happened in the original trilogy and the Origins film, so the slate is truly wiped clean for them to keep going. And we all know there are plenty of X-Men villains and storylines that haven’t been touched yet. Singer also noted how just because Scott, Jean, and Storm, are in Apocalypse, they

Frank Grillo Teases Crossbones Appearance in Civil War

Frank Grillo Teases Crossbones Appearance in Civil War

If there is one thing that the Marvel movies have been really good at, it’s throwing in unexpected twists on classic characters and tropes. They did it with the Howling Commandos, in Captain America, Jane Foster in Thor, Hawkeye in Avengers, and the list goes on. For Captain America: The Winter Soldier, not many were expecting Brock Rumlow, the man who would be Crossbones, a major Captain America villain, to be teaming up with him in the film. Or at least until he was revealed to be Hydra. At the end of Winter Soldier, Rumlow was gravely injured, but still very much alive. He was then confirmed to be in Captain America, Civil War, but no word was given about how he would look. Now, Frank Grillo has posted some tweets about his upcoming “transformation”, many of which seems to indicate he’ll be in full Crossbones mode when he arrives in Civil War. In one he noted: “Getting some scars put on. Working on Saturday.” And then he put this

Did Joss Whedon Just Say Coulson Is Still Dead?

Did Joss Whedon Just Say Coulson Is Still Dead?

In Avengers, easily one of the most shocking moments was the death of Phil Coulson, who had been a fun character that was created specifically for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, he was the first man from SHIELD we met. His death inspired the Avengers to truly come together and work as a team. However, t’s hard to keep a good man down, so he was brought back to life (via the orders of Nick Fury) in Agents of SHIELD, the Marvel TV series. While some characters in the MCU know that Coulson is alive (Hill, Fury, Sif, etc.), the main Avengers don’t, and according to Joss Whedon, he’s still dead in the MCU. Or so he tells IGN. Whedon stated: “Yeah he’s dead. The entire television series is just a fever dream. It’s a Jacob’s Ladder moment he’s having at the point of death, but we don’t give that away until after season seven. And there’s a snow globe. Now I’ve given it away. Bollocks!” “It’s a weird little yes

Telltale Games set to make Marvel titles

Telltale Games set to make Marvel titles

, , , , , , , 0

Marvel and Telltale Games have officially announced in an event at San Francisco that it has signed an agreement with Telltale Games to create graphic adventure games based on the properties it owns. The first title will be available in 2017 for several platforms, but neither Marvel nor the developer has stated what the game is and what characters it will include. Although the timing suggests it may tie-in with the Infinity Wars movies that are set to release in 2018 and 2019. The move comes as Marvel attempts to release games that focus more on storytelling rather than simply action. The partnership with Telltale Games will allow the Disney owned company to release games that are authentic, with gripping plots and an experience that fits in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by a number of ex-LucasArts employees who had previous experience in creating graphic adventure games such as the Monkey Island series. Although they have released other games from different genres, such as Poker Night,

Five Potential Peter Parker’s Found For Spider-Man Film?

, 0

Details are everything when it comes to superhero movies, especially when they go from one version of a character to another. The Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy tried to capture both young and adult life of Peter Parker, and all the struggles that came with it. The Amazing Spider-Man and it’s sequel tried to take a more comic-worthy approach to not only its characters, but to the story as well, which was encapsulated by the death of Gwen Stacy. When it was announced that Marvel had FINALLY gotten the rights to put Spider-Man in one of their movies (and to help make future movies), and that Andrew Garfield wouldn’t be Peter Parker again, the question was instantly raised, who would play him? Well, according to The Wrap, there are 5 leading contenders for the role of Peter Parker, who has been stated to be 17 when we meet him. The five lucky candidates are: Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet and Liam James. Furthermore, it’s also being said by

Sony Announces Spider-Man Animated Movie

, , 0

Just when you thought the appearances of Spider-Man couldn’t get any bigger…another Spider-Man movie gets announced. But this one is in animated form! The reveal came at CinemaCon 2015, and was brought to story by ComicBook.com, where Sony Pictures Chairman Tom Rothman announced the film. What he also announced though was who was heading it up. Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Those names should be very familiar to you by now. As those two made the amazing Lego Movie, as well as directing 21 Jump Street, and its sequel 22 Jump Street. They are also attached to DC Comics in that they’re writing the script for the upcoming Flash movie. Needless to say, these two are qualified for the job. The question now becomes, “what will the movie be about?”, and, “will it be connected to the MCU, or other Spider-Man projects?”. While the first one is without answer for now, the latter can be elaborated upon at least a little. The Spider-Man animated movie will be an independent film,

Daredevil Renewed For Season 2

Daredevil Renewed For Season 2

, , 0

It’s been less than two weeks since the release of Daredevil on Netflix, but that’s all it took for the series to get a second season renewal. Marvel Entertainment has confirmed that Daredevil has been renewed for Season 2. To some this may not be a surprise, especially given all the fan and critical praise the series has received since its release. However, given what happened the last time Daredevil graced a live-action screen, this was hardly a sure bet. The show worked very well, so a renewal was almost a guarantee. However, though the show is coming back, it will not be headed up by Stephen S. DeKnight. The second season will be overseen by Season 1 writers Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez. Fear not though, there was no conflict that caused DeKnight to leave, in fact, he’s happy to be leaving the show in such good hands: “While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season,” DeKnight explains, “I could not be happier that Doug Petrie
