What Could Marvel's Secret Television Project Be?
I was perusing the twitter-verse when I came across a link from comicbook.com. Writer Jay Jayson said: In April, it was revealed that Oscar-winning and Emmy-nominated screenwriter/producer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, American Crime) is developing a Marvel television project for ABC. Entertainment Weekly, the site that broke the story, only knows that it involves reinventing a hero from Marvel’s stable of characters.

Was This Pixar's First Transgendered Character?
Inside Out was easily one of the best and most complex storylines that has come out of Pixar, with lovable characters, relatable issues of growing up, and emotional emotions. But as I was thinking about it afterwards, there is a surprising element that I missed during my first screening. See if you can catch it.

What is Coming to the MCU Phase 4
This is an update to a former theory, and it's coming into clearer view with some of the most recent events of the MCU. With the Infinity War storyline in full swing and Captain America: Civil War coming within the year to a theater near you, my mind has been twirling with the different directions that Marvel could take as these current stories wrap up. As much as I'd love to see the Dark Avengers make their way to the silver screen, I still think that is a ways off (let's wait and see how the third iteration of Spider-man goes, than we can talk); however, The Masters of Evil have been a ragtag team of villains pestering the Avengers for as long as Earth's Mightiest Heroes have been around and with all of the villains present (and kicking, I would add) in the MCU, it would make sense that something would bring the Avengers back together after their Civil War or once Thanos can't take them down, villains may indeed come together--making a team of their own.

Who Will Be Captain Marvel?
With Phase 2 wrapping up this summer, many are looking forward to the MCU's Phase 3 additions with Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in the mix. While we know bits and pieces about Captain America: Civil War (May 2016), and the casting of Spider-man is all the rage right now (due out July 2017), I'm still extremely curious as to who will play the lead in Marvel's first solo female movie, Captain Marvel?

Top 5 Female Marvel Heroes
Looking over my last contest entry after posting it, I noticed the lack of diversity in general. This is partially because I am a white male that was looking for examples that I could see in myself, now or in the future; however, I should be able to find these same qualities in people besides white males. So, while I stand by my favorite top 5, because they are my favorites... I want to even the score a little by showing some love to other demographics, starting with the ladies. And while I'm at it I'll do a little fan-casting of my own.Without further ado, in no particular order...

My Top 5 Favorite Superheroes
The thing about heroes is they show you qualities you wish you saw in yourself and/or others, and for me that's become more true with fatherhood; my hope is that my children will see some of these same heroic qualities in myself. On to my top 5! I'll be honest, this is going to be Marvel heavy, with one exception (for obvious reasons), but let's start with #5.

The Avengers: a re-casting
Here's my first attempt; I'd love to hear your thoughts, as I'm sure I'll do another... Iron Man: Colin Farrell Colin Farrell is one of Ireland's best rising stars in Hollywood and abroad today. Known for many roles, including (some of my favorites) Minority Report (2002), Phone Booth (2002), Seven Psychopaths (2012), and Total Recall (2012), Farrell has the chops and rapport as an actor to pull of Tony Stark/Iron Man. His unfortunate involvement as Bullseye in Daredevil back in 2003 may have him off your list, but I truly think (while no one could replace Downey Jr.) he'd do a marvelous job. If Affleck can come back from that, anyone can.
