Autobots - Roll Out! 30 Years On, 'Transformers: The Movie' Is Back!
Modern-day fans are more familiar with the Transformers as the stars of Michael Bay's ongoing live-action film series. But to children of the 1980s, the Transformers were very, very different. Rather than live-action, with the majestic robots rendered through CGI, we '80s children grew up with the Transformers as animated heroes who assembled to a majestic theme-tune!
Roll-Call: Meet the Superheroes of Fox's New Mutants!
In 1982, legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont and superb artist Bob McLeod created an X-Men spin-off called New Mutants. The New Mutants were the next generation of the X-Men, a group of young students at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. They're adored by fans, with a rich and diverse history behind them. It's no wonder, then, that Josh Boone is now working on a New Mutants movie!
James Gunn Claims There's Still 1 Last Easter Egg in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' — Here Are All the Ones We Know So Far
Guardians of the Galaxy released in 2014 to critical and popular acclaim. Fans have pored over the film ever since, rewatching it over and over, and it seems to get better every time! In spite of that, director James Gunn has long been saying that there's one final Easter egg out there that fans haven't spotted. Over on Facebook, he's spoken about it again:
A Record-Breaking Opening Weekend for 'Suicide Squad' - With A Sting in the Tail...
Suicide Squad - one of the most hotly-anticipated movies of the summer - is out, and first reactions are mixed. On the one hand, the film's opening weekend looks to be outstanding - by Saturday morning, the film has already grossed a phenomenal $135.1 million at the box office! This makes it officially the third-best domestic opening of any film in 2016 to date, the second best of the summer, and the best opening of Will Smith's career.
Director Doug Liman Leaves Fox for the DCEU; Is It Time for Fox to Give up on the Gambit Movie?
Fox's Gambit film has been in the works for some time - it was originally supposed to be released in October this year! Today, we learned that DC Film has successfully tempted Doug Liman off the project - in a notable win, they've persuaded him to move on to Dark Universe, the Justice League Dark film!
Is 'Suicide Squad's Amanda Waller a Hero or a Villain?
Created in 1986, Amanda Waller is one of the most fascinating #DC characters. She's a shady government official, using her political skill, ruthless intelligence and incredible connections to manipulate events to her best advantage. In the comics, she's often portrayed as an antihero, sometimes even as a villain; but I want to hone in on the character's portrayal in Suicide Squad, where she's expertly portrayed by Viola Davis. Is she a hero or a villain?
'Suicide Squad' and 'Fantastic Four': Two Cautionary Tales for Studios
I'm pretty sure that, in the eyes of many readers, just the title of my post is blatant heresy. 2015's #FantasticFour was critically condemned and disliked by fans, while - in spite of critical reviews - Suicide Squad is still getting a lot of love. So putting these two films side-by-side? Surely that's heretical!
A.R.G.U.S. and More: What 'Suicide Squad' Adds to the DC Extended Universe
When DC announced that #SuicideSquad would be the third film in the DC Extended Universe, it came as something of a surprise. Rather than continue to focus on the core Justice League superheroes, DC Film was choosing to build up a very different part of their Extended Universe. Now we've seen Suicide Squad, it's time to ask; what does this add to the DCEU?
Exploring The Four Horsemen In 'X-Men: Apocalypse'
When writer Louise Simonson and artist Jackson Guice created the villain Apocalypse, it didn't take long for the Four Horsemen to turn up. Fanatically devoted to En Sabah Nur, their powers enhanced beyond belief, the Four Horsemen are consistently portrayed as a deadly threat to the X-Men. Apocalypse — joining the ranks of the most powerful X-Men villains — recruits the strongest to his cause, transforms and enhances them, and then unleashes them on the X-Men! Although the name Apocalypse has more than one connotation, the Four Horsemen have always played a key role in any apocalyptic event.
'Avengers: Infinity War' & 'Avengers 4' Cast: Every Character Who Has Been Confirmed So Far
The crowning glory of the MCU, Avengers: Infinity War promises to take Earth's Mightiest Heroes to the cosmic stage. At one point, the Russo brothers were telling us that the film would feature a whopping 68 named characters (they later claimed that was a joke).
After The Apocalypse: Meet The NeXt X-Men!
X-Men: Apocalypse is the end of the second X-Men trilogy, but it also lays the foundations for the next films. James McAvoy's Charles Xavier accepts the need for the X-Men, and recruits Nicholas Hoult's Beast and Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique to act as their mentors. But with the torch being passed to a new generation of mutants, it's time to ask: Who are these new X-Men?
Doctor Strange Prelude #2 Shows Us Mordo & the Ancient One as We've Never Seen Them Before
Perhaps the most controversial casting choice in Marvel's Doctor Strange was the decision to cast Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One; it led to accusations of #whitewashing. The prospect of casting a white female as the male Asian mystic was an unusual one, and an explanation from Doctor Strange writer C. Robert Cargill really stirred the pot. Now, in the second issue of Marvel's Doctor Strange Prelude - a two-issue miniseries based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - we've finally seen the Ancient One at work. Marvel has been justifying the casting choice by arguing that the Ancient One is being used in a very different way; how accurate is that?
