On February 15, THE WILD STORM, DC’s newest pop-up imprint curated by Warren Ellis, will debut with its flagship title of the same name. The series will be written by Ellis with art by Jon Davis-Hunt.
Start your speculating now comic fans. Readers will remember that Wildstorm was the name of Jim Lee’s creator-owned line of books at Image Comics. The line gave birth to, among many things, characters like Midnighter and Apollo, who debuted in The Authority(actually also written by Ellis). Wildstorm was eventually successfully sold and folded into the DC Universe. Midnighter in particular was a critical hit. The comics publisher has had recent success with its other curated imprint, Young Animal, so perhaps this will follow suit? Check out the images below and tell us what you think!
For fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fights between heroes are a common thing. Whether it be the multitude of matchups included in Captain America: Civil War or Hulk versus Iron Man in Avengers: Age of Ultron, we’ve seen our fair share of brawls.
On this topic, Groot voice actor Vin Diesel hinted at a matchup we might be seeing in next year’s Avengers: Infinity War.
I’m excited about Baby Groot; he’s just too fun. And in Infinity War, I have to talk to the Russo brothers and find out how this is all gonna go down. I know somewhere in the Marvel universe there is a moment when you will see Groot and Hulk have a few words.
I think there’s gonna be a moment that we’re all waiting for, and whether you know it or not, you are waiting to see Groot and the Hulk get down.
Well, according to the actor himself, it seems like we might be seeing a throw-down between Hulk and everyone’s favorite 3-word character, Groot.
What do you make of his comments? Who’d win this fight? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Scarlett Johansson, Brie Larson, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Olson, Jeremy Renner, Sebastian Stan, Peter Dinklage, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Hemsworth, Karen Gillian, Bradley Cooper, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Rudd, Josh Brolin, Paul Bettany, and Mark Ruffalo.
Although no official synopsis has been released at this point, we can safely assume that Avengers: Infinity War will follow a story that includes Thanos, with the Infinity Gauntlet, taking on the Avengers. A more detailed plot summary will be released as the film’s release date nears.
Avengers: Infinity War will be released in theaters on May 4, 2018.
Although The Inhumans was announced as a Marvel Cinematic Universe film years ago, it’s now officially moved to television. With the series starting this fall and the first two episodes being screened in IMAX theaters, fans are getting excited.
With the show on its way, many have been wondering about the fate of the movie. Vin Diesel, who was originally set to play Black Bolt, commented on this in an interview with Screen Rant.
“I think Marvel should never—I don’t think Marvel should abandon their opportunity to make a film out of it [The Inhumans]. I think it could be a huge, huge saga, and if I had more time I would go over to Marvel and have that very conversation. But I think it would be a big mistake for Marvel to abandon their ambitions or their objective or their goals of making it into a film, because it would make such a cool universe.”
Although Diesel still wants the film to get made, chances of that happening are pretty slim. With that said, though, there’s still hope when Kevin Feige is in charge.
In recent news regarding The Inhumans show, Roel Reine was just announced as the director of the series’ first two episodes. Reine is known for his work on Black Sails, the hit television series that preludes Treasure Island.
So far, information on the cast of this project is unknown. However, since the show’s premiere is less than nine months away, it won’t be long until we get to know who the next on-screen super-team is.
What are your thoughts on Diesel’s comments regarding The Inhumans? Do you think it will ever be turned in to a film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Be sure to leave us with your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Four Fathers Brewing Company has been around since 2009. From Rockwood, Ontario, this craft brewery, as their website puts it, was the brainchild of “four hockey dads.” Four Fathers’ website goes on to describe how their fledgling brewery came into being over the course of a number of nights spent at the rink or hovering anxiously over stove-tops.
Four Fathers Brewing Company’s mandate involves, not surprisingly, four steps: stand up for each other, stand up for something bigger than yourself, stand up for the notion that quality craft beer matters, and be patient.
Today I’ll be reviewing The Starter Session IPA from Four Fathers Brewing Company. And, although I’m generally a patient person, I admit to being impatient to review this brew.
Four Fathers Brewing Company: The Starter Session IPA – First Sip
The Starter pours a semi-transparent amber colour with a thin layer of off-white foam that dissipates quickly. As with other IPAs, session or otherwise, I smell a familiar citrus aroma as I take my first sip. The Starter is surprisingly bitter for a session IPA, the bitterness improving in its aftertaste. This isn’t much of a beer for complexity. If you like hoppy IPAs, as I most certainly do, you’re bound to like The Starter.
Four Fathers Brewing Company: The Starter Session IPA – Last Sip
Bitter though this brew is, its relatively watery mouthfeel balances it out. The Starter’s mouthfeel gives it a light and thirst-quenching quality that all good session beers should have. And, with a 4.8% ABV rating your session can involve a couple of these 473-mL brews.
IPAs, especially session IPAs, go exceptionally well with salty foods. A giant pretzel, a plate of olives, some beef jerky, pickles, or a bag of chips are all good picks to accompany The Starter. It won’t be healthy, but the combination of bitter beer and salty food is not to be missed.
Check Out The Trailer For The Upcoming Monster Movie ‘Colossal’
2017 may have found its strangest movie of the year already. The trailer for ‘Colossal‘ is here and we get a peek at the monster movie starring Anne Hathaway. Who knew we’d be getting a movie with dancing kaiju and an alcoholic Hathaway?
The production company Neon shared the first look at the upcoming film!
Check it out below:
The story follows a New York woman (Anne Hathaway) who is out-of-work and partying way too hard. During her late night benders, a monster is destroying Seoul, Korea on the other side of the world. Little does she know that she’s is connected to this monster and all her life choices have even graver consequences.
But not before she has a little fun by making the monster dance a little…
While this may sound pretty original, not everyone feels that way. Japanese production company Toho sued this production for copyright infringement but was later settled out of court. Director Nacho Vigalondo said the lawsuit had no impact on the story he created. He described the film as a “monster movie that collides with a small indie drama.”
The film is set for a April 7th release. There is no word if it will be a limited or wide release.
What do you think of ‘Colossal‘? Will you be seeing it when it comes out?
Spoiler Warning For Season 1, Light Spoilers for Season 2
The insanely popular Netflix original series, Voltron: Legendary Defender returned for a second season. After the cliffhanger from the previous season, fans counted down the months waiting for more of adventures with the Paladins in their quest to take down the Galra Empire and its leader Lord Zarkon. Was this season able to surpass what happened in the previous season? In some ways it was even better.
After the season one cliffhanger where the team was thrown across the universe in a wormhole, the season begins with them having to reunite. From there they investigate how they were able to escape Zarkon’s armada during the previous battle. They discover it was through the help of a group known as The Blade of Marmora, a rebellious faction inside of the Galra Empire who are trying to overthrow Zarkon. The season the focuses on more stealth missions with tactical thinking to survive and discover a way to end Zarkon’s reign of terror.
The cast of characters are pushed to their limits throughout the season. The Paladins find they have to bond with their lions if they have any hope of growing as characters. At the same time, Zarkon’s connection to the Black Lion plays a big part in the season. His determination to retrieve it borderlines on obsession. The intriguing character development in these episodes calls back to Avatar: The Last Airbender where fans will be captivated as they watch the journeys of personal discover which occur.
Two characters in particular steal the show this season. The first is Keith, as the mystery behind his origin deepens, Shiro believes him to be leader material and tries to push him forward. The journey to discover who he is results in tension later in the season. Still, it was needed as his character was the least developed from the previous season.
The second is Coran who proves to be comedy gold. The production team found ways to make Coran even funnier and his antics never get old. Examples of some of this humor includes him regressing into younger versions of himself, making an instructional video, and developing a very unique illness.
Thought a lot of mysteries are answered from the first season, it explored enough new territory to practically guarantee the need for another season. Especially within the last minute of the final episode. The cliffhanger they use is just as engaging as the one in the first season. The second season of Voltron: Legendary Defender not only continues the level quality from the previous one but found ways to build on it to a level few shows have reached previously.
NCIS show runner R. Scott Gemmill released a tribute to Ferrer. “Today, NCIS: Los Angeles lost a beloved family member,” he said. “Miguel was a man of tremendous talent who had a powerful dramatic presence on screen, a wicked sense of humor, and a huge heart. Our thoughts go out to his wife Lori, his sons, and his entire family. He will be greatly missed.”
As a film actor, Ferrer starred as the sleazy Bob Morton in the original Robocop. He also appeared in Star Trek: The Search For Spock and Iron Man 3.
Yet his best known role is forensic expert Albert Rosenfield on Twin Peaks. His abrasive, sarcastic manner provided a contrast with Kyle MacLachlan’s earnest Dale Cooper. Tough as nails, he alienates the townsfolk but warms up as the series progresses.
From 2001 to 2007, Ferrer was the star of Crossing Jordan. His role was Dr. Garret Macy. He also directed a few episodes. The show ran for six seasons on NBC.
Ferrer also has an extensive voice-acting career. His credits include roles on Superman: The Animated Series, in which he voiced Weather Wizard and Aquaman. He also played Shan-Yu in Mulan. In 2008, he did the voice of Martian Manhunter for Justice League: The New Frontier. He voiced Vandal Savage on Young Justice.
Ferrer will appear in the Twin Peaks revival. His last film role will be Deathstroke in Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
Green Lantern Corps is still early in development, but there are big names on the shortlist for this movie, notably Hal Jordan. Thanks to ComicBook.com via The Wrap, Warner Bros. is pushing some serious star power for the film. Tom Cruise, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel McHale, Arnie Hammer, Bradley Cooper, and even Ryan Reynolds is on this list for Hal Jordan. This is some powerhouse casting, especially with Ryan Reynolds in the mix for this film. Green Lantern Corps for what little we know is already being pushed to be a relatively big movie with these names. I got my own curiosities here on this one.
Green Lantern Corps is huge on the priority list for Warner Bros. if these names are in the mix.
Now there are more than a few surprises on this list, Ryan Reynolds being the biggest one. Even with his Deadpool success, it could still be weird to see Reynolds back as Hal Jordan again. Joel McHale is an oddball name in this mix, he’s a growing star but not sure if he’s on this level for Green Lantern Corps. At this point, we still don’t know much about this film. We are in the early stages of this movie so this could all change on a dime. I doubt we’ll end up seeing Tom Cruise but they call it Hollyweird for a reason, anything is possible.
So what do you all think about the possible casting choices for this film? Is it strange that we’re learning about casting before much else about the film? Feel free to let us know in the comment section below what you all think. Green Lantern Corps is already creating conversation and we’ll know more in the months to come. The possible shortlist of Hal Jordan is only the beginning of the Green Lantern Corps journey.
The Musical Episode Titled “Duet” Will Take Place In March!
The crossover musical episode between ‘The Flash’ and ‘Supergirl‘ has been in talks for about a year now. Finally, Warner Bros. Television has released some information!
The musical episode will take place March 21st on an episode of ‘The Flash‘. There will be a lead-in on the March 20th episode of ‘Supergirl‘, similar to how the four-part crossover started last fall. Director Dermott Downs, who has directed many Arrowverse shows, will be helming the episode titled “Duet”. This will include musical numbers from ‘The Flash'” stars Grant Gustin, Carlos Valdes, and Jesse L. Martin. Singing from ‘Supergirl’ will be Melissa Benoist and Jeremy Jordan. Also making appearances will be John Barrowman from ‘Arrow‘ and Victor Garber from ‘Legends Of Tomorrow‘.
Released earlier this month from executive producer Greg Berlanti is confirmation that the villain of the episode will be the song-based baddie Music Meister!
This crossover comes almost a year since The Flash and Supergirl first met on TV during the “Worlds Finest” episode of ‘Supergirl‘. Both actors also appeared on the FOX TV show ‘Glee‘ but during different seasons. Most of the actors appearing in the musical episode also have experience in professional singing as well as Broadway.
Will you be tuning into this singing superhero crossover event in March?
A recent Star Trek: Discovery casting announcement seems to put to rest the controversy over when the new show is set: James Frain, who has appeared in Gotham, Orphan Black, and Marvel’s Agent Carter among other TV shows and movies, will play Spock‘s father Sarek in the upcoming show. The character of Sarek was first portrayed by the late Mark Lenard in Star Trek. Lenard subsequently played the role in two other Star Trek TV series and four Star Trek films. Ben Cross is the most recent actor to portray Sarek, playing the well-known Vulcan in the 2009 film Star Trek.
Star Trek: Discovery – What We Know & What We Don’t
Based on Frain’s age, it seems that rumours of Star Trek: Discovery’s being set shortly before the events of the original Star Trek TV show are true. That said, as I’ve mentioned in previousarticles on Star Trek: Discovery casting announcements, there are other rumours circulating that each season of Star Trek: Discovery will follow different crews and ships in potentially different eras. So, who knows, fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine,Voyager, and Enterprise might still get to see some of their favourite characters back on the small screen in coming seasons.
Star Trek: Discovery – The Rumours
As they have since initial Star Trek: Discovery teaser trailers premiered, rumours about the new show abound. As I mentioned in a previous article, The Walking Dead’s Sonequa Martin-Green is rumoured to be playing a lead role in the upcoming show. Some rumour mongers insist that because of Martin-Green’s involvement in The Walking Dead the premiere date of Star Trek: Discovery has been postponed until fall of this year.
However, there has yet to be an announcement from startrek.com about further postponing the premiere date of Star Trek: Discovery—it was originally scheduled to premiere in January, 2017. So, again, who knows? But, according to Paramount and CBS, the new show is still slated to premiere this May.
