Marvel Announces ANT-MAN AND THE WASP For 2018 With New MCU Titles And Dates Pending

I guess that initial Marvel calendar was never set in stone when it was unveiled last year. That tells you a little something about the constant fluctuating nature of the film industry as a whole, and especially with franchises like those set in the Marvel comic book movies. Marvel officially announced a sequel to this year’s July release of Ant-Man with the forthcoming title, Ant-Man And The Wasp with actor Paul Rudd and actress Evangeline Lily likely to return for its 2018 release. The studio unveiled its press release with more details this week including new dates for upcoming and titles to-be-announced. See? Fluctuating. Now that Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has officially reached its conclusion with the release of Marvel’s “Ant-Man,” we have new details on what to expect in Phase 3! Following our hero’s debut adventure in this summer’s “Ant-Man,” Scott Lang will return alongside Hope […]

Lee B. Golden III

The first teaser for director Peyton Reed‘s latest contribution to the Marvel movie franchise, Ant-Man, was a teaser at best. Paul Rudd is in the title role opposite Corey Stoll as Yellowjacket with Michael Douglas as the man behind the creation of the title superhero which spawned initially back in the 60’s.

Superhero Movie Updates Galore, Basically.

Lee B. Golden III

Thursday was a day filled with epic reveals for superhero movie news. With updates burning the netizenry and any number of them flourishing based on rumors, it gets difficult to keep up with. At least now, I’ve gathered what I could that I know is solid, and for those of you who have the mental stamina to keep up with this sort of thing daily, you guys and gals get all the points. Several updates made the rounds this week with numerous set pics from the Vancouver filming of director Tim Miller’s Deadpool (several of them are floating online so they shouldn’t be too hard to find, including a few new ones from Yahoo! and CBM via VanCity Buzz), as well as The Lego Movie directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s development of actor Ezra Miller’s upcoming appearance in The Flash for Warner Bros., and confirmation of Anthony and Joe […]

Paul Rudd Has Issues With His Superhero Name In The New Teaser For ANT-MAN!

Lee B. Golden III

I’ve been compelled to go off the rails everytime Marvel adheres to a gimmick to sell director Peyton Reed‘s latest contribution to the third phase of the Marvel Universe, Ant-Man. Its pointless trailer teasers last week (Ant and “normal” sized) and the new official poster have left me shaking my head and hoping this moment would come sooner without me choking someone. Thankfully we’ve now arrived here, accompanied on the eve of the two-hour premiere of Marvel’s Agent Carter on ABC which finally brings the first official teaser of Ant-Man. That said, a lot of opinions have been circulating, both in support, as well as critical of whether or not this particular film was necessary while many fans have still been dealing with Marvel’s non-inclusion of Spider-Man for its Avengers saga (and I’ve pretty much given up with catching up on Spider-Man what with all the Sony drama, so I’m […]

Two New Lame Trailer Teasers Are Online For AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON And ANT-MAN

Lee B. Golden III

Promo Art for Marvel’s ANT-MAN Trailer teasers are a pain in the ass. The first one has been out for a while now ahead of the upcoming release of Marvel’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron. This one gets off a little lighter though because we’ve already seen a few trailers, and no doubt several more trailers and T.V. spots will be forthcoming to help set the tone being this is one of the biggest and highly anticipated sequels yet. It’s still frustrating though, but not as frustrating as the new Ant-Man trailer announcement just beneath. Seriously, I see the “meaning” behind making the screen so small to the point where even burying my face in my mobile device won’t work, but frankly, this is just hilarious and stupid. Anyway, happy new year. I love movies. The new Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer will air during the 2015 College Football Playoff […]

The film is […]

Reports are now circulating that actor Thomas Kretschmann has signed on to play another main villain known as Baron Wolfgang von Strucker in the upcoming film, Marvel’s The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

The news also comes on the heels of recent updates that the film’s shooting schedule will include London, and locations in South Africa, with word that actor Mark Ruffalo‘s return as The Hulk would also be accompanied a love interest in the new film, with actor Jeremy Renner‘s character, Hawkeye, given a much larger part. Furthermore, recent […]

SDCC 2013: Ultron To Bridge CAPTAIN AMERICA 2 With AVENGERS 2: AGE OF ULTRON

Lee B. Golden III

According to a statement from Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier co-director Joe Russo via The Huffington Post, the character, Ultron, will likely appear at the end of his upcoming film, which he says establishes there being a significant relevance between the end of the 2012 Marvel’s The Avengers, and his own film. “There’s a very strong connection in the narrative between the events of the end of Marvel’s The Avengers that drive this film [Captain America: The Winter Soldier] and there’s a very strong hand off to The Avengers: Age of Ultron at the end of this movie.” he says “And Kevin Feige’s whole thing is that this is the biggest bridge of all of Phase 2 movies; it really is. It does involve the most amount of Avengers of any of the films in Phase 2, and it has sort of a, you know, there’s a very big […]
