Tom Holland Opens Up About His Feelings On The Spider-Man Suit & The MCU!

Spider-Man: Homecoming may be a little less than a year away, but that hasn’t stopped the newest Spidey, Tom Holland, from offering a few nuggets of information about it, the suit, and future Avengers movie appearances, according to Variety.

At the New York Film Festival premiere of Holland’s movie The Lost City of Z, Variety asked him about the possibility of an appearance in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity Wars.

Holland’s response: “It’s all up in the air. I believe some sort of deal is in the mix, but I’m unclear as to what that deal is.”

Holland also talked about the Spidey costume and the thrill of playing such an iconic character:

“The suit’s not the greatest thing, but sometimes when it’s uncomfortable, you just have to remind yourself of the long list of actors that would love to be in that suit and you just go, ‘do you know what, f**k it. I’m the luckiest kid alive. I deserve to be here and I’m going to give it my best.”

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the second movie reboot of Spider-Man, but his first solo outing as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holland made his first appearance as the wall-crawler in Captain America: Civil War.

The plot of Homecoming is being kept under tight wraps, but one thing known is that it places Holland’s Peter Parker back in high school. Rumors swirl that the movie will feature several villains (one possibly being The Vulture), but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Besides Holland, the Homecoming cast includes Marisa Tomei, Angourie Rice, Zendaya, Robert Downey, Jr., and Michael Keaton. Jon Watts will direct from a screenplay written by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is scheduled to hit theaters July 7, 2017.

Thor: Ragnarok will ignore much of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to A.V Club.

Director Taika Waititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople) participated in a Reddit AMA on Saturday night.

During the chat, Waititi said he “made an effort to ignore the fact that there are other Thor films.”

He also praised Marvel for giving him a lot of creative freedom.

“I think TR [Thor: Ragnarok] will be one of the most adventurous and most ‘out there’ of all the Marvel movies. It’s a crazy movie,” he said.

Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) will have a much bigger role in the film, according to Waititi. He added that audiences can expect to see ‘references” to Doctor Strange, but didn’t elaborate.

Waititi confirmed Ragnarok’s 80s-vibe. The retro-style logo was a clue.

The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Tessa Thompson and Jamie Alexander.

Stephany Folsom wrote the screenplay.

Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters November 3, 2017.

With only about two and half weeks to go before Doctor Strange appears in cinemas, Marvel Studios is keeping the magic flowing. According to Comicbook.com, a new International trailer (from Honk Kong) and a domestic market TV spot have emegred. Perahps in an effort to try and raise awarness on a more obscure character, it seems the studio has realesed more footage and clips for Doctor Strange than any other Marvel Cinematic Universe project before. The film will be the first entry in the MCU, typically more of a science and science-fiction based world, to focus heavily on magic and the supernatural. You can watch the new trailer and TV spot below.

Doctor Strange tells the story of neurosurgeon Stephen Strange whose life takes a tragic turn after a horrific car accident damages his hands. When medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing in a mysterious place known as Kamar-Taj. There he learns that this is not just a place for healing but also the sight of a magical battle to save the world. Soon Doctor Strange must choose to return to his normal life or leave it all behind and take his new place as the world’s Sorcerer Supreme.

Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Into Darkness, ), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Rachel McAdams (True Detective Season 2), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Mads Mikkelsen (Valhalla Riding/Hannibal) and Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel). It is directed by Scott Derrickson, and written by Derrickson, Jon Spaihts (Prometheus), and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister). It opens November 4, 2017, in theaters nationwide.

‘Justice League’ filming came to a close, and Jason Momoa partied, drank, and Instagrammed it.

According to my source, two weeks ago Aquaman himself posted a photo before the epic after party. He just released some awesome photos with cast and crew and put them up on his Instagram. We get a taste of the relationships that the actors made while on set, as well as Momoa’s taste for Guinness. We see photos of Momoa partying with Ben Affleck, Zack Snyder, and many others.

Love u guys Mahalo for all your hardwork

A post shared by Jason Momoa (@prideofgypsies) on Oct 14, 2016 at 4:25pm PDT

I don’t know about everyone else, but I for one am on board with all of these selfies.

Momoa’s Instagram is full of pictures from the ‘Justice League’ filming, as well as his different adventures, and his absolute love of Guinness beer. http://instagram.com/prideofgypsies

With this being a week of epic proportions for the ‘Justice League’ crew, with the footage of Amber Heard in her Mera Costume, and the new Wonder Woman trailer, this is really just the icing on the cake. It is exactly what the fan boys and girls need to keep them going.

Momoa plays Aquaman in the upcoming movie ‘Justice League’. We were lucky enough to get a slight taste of the character in ‘Batman V. Superman’, more of him in ‘Justice League’ and all of him in the ‘Aquaman’ movie, which is scheduled for 2018. Momoa is mostly known for his role in ‘Game of Thrones’ as Khal Drogo. He was also in ‘Baywatch’ back in the late 90s/early 00s, and ‘Stargate: Atlantis’ 2005-2009.

‘Justice League’ follows Batman and Wonder Woman, after the death of Superman, enlisting a team of meta humans to help take down the next threat. Starring Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Henry Cavill, Amber Heard, Ezra Miller, Diane Lane, and Jason Momoa.

‘Justice League’ opens November 17, 2017

Caitlin Snow’s Mom? Killer Frost origin? Upcoming on ‘Flash’

October 16, 2016

Caitlin Snow meets Killer Frost, and her history with her mom revealed.

Poor Caitlin.

In season two of ‘Flash’, our favorite, adorable scientist gets taken by Zoom, and brought to his lair. During this time period, Caitlin is faced with her Earth Two doppelganger. It seems that everyone has one, so it was only time until we saw hers. Killer Frost, a cold blooded villain, who rocks silver hair and bright blue lipstick turned after being held captive in a cell.

While Caitlin is stuck with Zoom, we learn the relationship that Caitlin has with her mother, and the relationship that Killer Frost has with her mother is mirrored. Both Caitlin and Killer Frost describe their mothers to be narcissists, and Killer Frost used the chilly term “Cold as Ice.”

According to my source, we get the pleasure of being introduced to Caitlin’s mom, Dr. Tannhauser, ( Susan Walters) in an upcoming episode (“Monster”) airing next month. Caitlin reaches out to her mom in order to help her with her impending transformation into Killer Frost.

Executive Producer Todd Helbing talked about the mother-daughter relationship in the EW’s Spoiler Room. “You’ve heard snippets throughout the show so far of how her mom is pretty cold,” Helbing said. “When you meet her, you’ll understand exactly what Caitlin has been talking about and exactly how their dynamic works. You can see how that’s had a long-term effect on Caitlin.”

Caitlin has had a rocky couple of years. Losing her Fiancé, dealing with the lies of the real Harrison Wells, and finding a new and exciting love interest. It’s only fair that she is put through the ringer a couple more times, right?

‘Flash’ stars Danielle Panabaker, Jesse L. Williams, Tom Cavanaugh, Carlos Valdez, Candace Patton, and Grant Guston as ‘Flash’

‘Flash’ Airs Tuesday nights at 8PM on the CW.

New ‘Doctor Strange’ Featurette Introduces Characters

By

October 16, 2016

A new Doctor Strange featurette has been released by Marvel Studios, according to ComicBook.com. It seems the studio is really pumping out the footage and information on this one in an effort to get the usually obscure Doctor Strange character into the limelight. Previous clips and information have also really highlighted it’s connection to Marvel Cinematic Universe. The new featurette showcases cast and crew discussing their roles and characters. Producer Kevin Feige, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange, Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Karl Mordo), Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), and Benedict Wong (Wong) are all on hand. You can watch the clip below.

Doctor Strange tells the story of neurosurgeon Stephen Strange whose life takes a tragic turn after a horrific car accident damages his hands. When medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing in a mysterious place known as Kamar-Taj. There he learns that this is not just a place for healing but also the sight of a magical battle to save the world.

Coen Brothers Set to Pen Internet Thriller ‘Dark Web’

By

Will Ashton

October 15, 2016

As directors, Joel and Ethan Coen haven’t announced their next project following February’s Hail, Caesar! As writers, however, they’ve kept themselves busy. They recently penned George Clooney’s currently-filming Suburbicon. Now, they’re set to write Dark Web, an Internet thriller set up at Fox. There’s no word yet on if they’ve considered directing it as well. That should change in due time.

Based on a two-part Wired article from 2015, Dark Web is a true story centered around William Ulbricht. He’s a 29-year-old idealist who built an online illegal marketplace known as “The Silk Road” under the name Dread Pirate Roberts. Along the way, he became a murderous kingpin. Allegedly.

Best-selling author Dennis Lehane was initially writing the film before the Coens came aboard. It’s unclear if they’ll be influenced by his draft, or start fresh.

Based on its labyrinth twists relating to crime and murder, the story earned comparisons to the Coens’ work, particularly Fargo, as THR reports. Indeed, it’s in their wheelhouse, even though technology rarely — if ever — functions into their work. Perhaps the new perspective will invigorate them? Hopefully, Fox doesn’t give them the same deal they gave poor Lehane.

While the Coens are often known to direct their own scripts, they’ve contributed their pen to more projects away from their lens of late. They wrote 2012’s underwhelming Gambit. They also contributed to Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken in 2014 and Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies last year, in addition to Clooney’s upcoming movie.

Side Launch Brewing Company: Pale Ale – A Sideways Review

By

Michael Bedford

-

October 15, 2016

Side Launch Brewing Company, like many other craft breweries throughout Canada, takes its name from a part of its hometown’s (Collingwood) history. “Side Launch” refers to the practice of launching a ship sideways: you can even watch a video of this engineering spectacle on the brewery’s homepage, along with a short video featuring the brew-master discussing his brews and ingredients.

A big winner at this year’s Canadian Brewing Awards, Side Launch took home the “Brewery of the Year” award along with three other Gold medals! Unfortunately, their Pale Ale wasn’t one of those gold medal winners, but I can always review one of them later. For now, bring on the Pale Ale!

Side Launch Brewing Company: Pale Ale – First Sip

Side Launch Pale Ale pours a cloudy golden, almost orange, colour. This brew leaves a thick layer of head at the top of my glass, easily 1/2″ thick. I get a faint smell of oranges as I take my first sip. This brew is more straightforward than some other pale ales I’ve reviewed. It’s tough to identify what the feature flavour in this brew is. All of the normal IPA/APA flavours are there, but none of them is prevalent.

This pale ale’s dominant flavour is its tartness rather than the usually bitter flavour of IPAs and APAs. Its mouthfeel tends towards the thick and slightly fizzy side of the scale, leaving a malty flavour in my mouth when I put it down.

Side Launch Brewing Company: Pale Ale – Last Sip

At 5.3% ABV in a 473 mL tall can, you can have a few of these in one sitting. Like many other brews I’ve reviewed, though, this one goes down pretty smoothly at 5.3% so don’t lose track of how many you’ve had.

With its tart flavour and thick-ish mouthfeel, I recommend enjoying this brew alongside a steak. This brew’s tartness helps balance out the savoury flavour of red meats. And, its thickness will help soak up any fat you may have forgotten to trim off of your cut.

Naughty Neighbour American Pale Ale – Nickel Brook Brewing

By

Michael Bedford

-

October 15, 2016

As a Canadian writing beer reviews for an American website, I couldn’t resist reviewing Nickel Brook Brewing‘s Naughty Neighbour American Pale Ale. This brew’s name seems particularly apt when considering the political spectacle unveiling itself south of the 49th parallel.

Since I previously reviewed a beer for Nickel Brook, I won’t spend any time here talking about the brewery. You can read all about Nickel Brook’s humble beginnings in my review of their Cause & Effect Blonde Ale. I’ll devote the majority of this review to tasting this naughty brew.

Nickel Brook Brewing: Naughty Neighbour APA – First Sip

Naughty Neighbour pours a semi-opaque golden colour with a thin layer of head that sticks to the top of my glass. I smell lots of citrus as I pour this fragrant brew, and some pineapple as I take my first glug. Naughty Neighbour’s aroma complements its flavour nicely, although I’d like it to be more bitter. As it is, this brew has a sweet and piney flavour that fades to a dry, almost savoury, finish. Pairing well with its mid-range hops flavour, Naughty Neighbour has a thin mouthfeel that promotes taking big gulps.

Nickel Brook Brewing: Naughty Neighbour APA – Last Sip

Available in 473 mL tall cans, Naughty Neighbour is a good sessional ale. Its modest 4.9% ABV rating makes it a beer you can enjoy a few of without getting too naughty yourself. A word to the wise, though, make sure you keep track of how many you’ve had. With its smooth taste and relatively low carbonation level, you’ll be surprised just how many of these brews you can drink in one session.

Naughty Neighbour’s slightly bitter flavour makes me crave salty foods. I suggest pairing this well-balanced APA with fish & chips, salted nuts, dark chocolate, or any standard pub fare.

Although this isn’t a face-scrunching, jaw-clenching bitter, bitter APA, it’s a great one to try if you’re looking for a change from your usual lager.
