Shazam !!! Movie Coming Soon...

Shazam !!! Movie Coming Soon...

The word "reshoots" became a dirty one among DC fans after the disaster that was Justice League, but that hasn't stopped Warner Bros. from recalling the Shazam! cast for some last minute tweaks. Additional photography will take place through the end of December 2018 according to reports, with rumors afoot that director David F. Sandberg has been asked to remove references to the wider DCEU, which are in the film in abundance according to star Zachary Levi. Sandberg has debunked these stories, however, telling his Twitter followers that it's "all normal stuff."

Sandberg insisted that the tone of the movie (which has been described by Levi as "Big meets the movie Superman") won't be altered during the reshoots. This will no doubt come as a relief to the DC fandom, which is in dire need of something a little lighter. The first trailer delivered on this big time, premiering to an "enthusiastic reaction" at Comic-Con 2018. "Shazam! looks fun and it looks funny," SlashFilm reported from the event in San Diego. "This is as much a comedy as it is a comic book movie."

According to Sandberg, Chuck star Levi was cast in the titular role precisely for that reason. "When I saw his first tape, it was just perfect," the director said. "He feels like a big kid. Lots of adults would play a kid in an adult's body as dumb, but Levi choose to play him as enthusiastic, and that made all the difference."

Scheduled release date: April 5, 2019

Captain Marvel Coming March-08-19..

Captain Marvel Coming March-08-19..

It opens by confirming what most fans had already guessed — that the sweet little old lady who catches a beatdown from Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers (Bree Larson), aboard a packed train is indeed a member of the shape-shifting, invading alien race known as the Skrulls. We then see a bit of a conversation between Danvers and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). "And you're a Kree," Fury asks, "a race of noble warriors?" To which Danvers offers a gentle correction: "Heroes," she says, "noble warrior heroes."

From there, the trailer jumps into a bit of exposition. In a voiceover, one of these noble warrior heroes (Oscar-nominated actress Annette Bening, in an as-yet unnamed role) explains to Danvers, "Your life began the day it nearly ended. We found you, with no memory… we made you one of us. So you could live longer, stronger… superior." We briefly see Danvers appearing to be infused with a blue liquid which is almost certainly Kree blood (shades of the technique that saved the life of Phil Coulson in season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), followed by a nice clear shot of Danvers in her iconic helmet.

All of this, of course, suggests that Danvers was involved in some kind of near-fatal accident during her days as an Air Force pilot, and was rescued from the brink of death by the Kree. This is alluded to further as she's seen explaining to Fury, "I keep having these memories… something in my past is the key to all of this." Apparently, some of these memories will come in handy, as she's then seen effortlessly piloting some kind of experimental aircraft.

Then, an intriguing sequence: an unidentified character asks in voiceover, "Would you like to know what you really are?" Danvers is then heard asking, "What aren't you telling me?" over a shot of Jude Law's charcter, who doesn't seem too helpful. "You've come a long way," he tells Danvers, "but you're not as strong as you think." It's been assumed that Law is portraying Mar-Vell, who in the comics is the original Captain Marvel (the flick's IMDb page even insists that this is his role), but a recently leaked image of the movie's Funko Pop toy line has thrown this into question. It lists the character simply as "Kree military officer Star Commander," and some observers have speculated that Marvel may be pulling a switcheroo on us and that Law is actually playing Yon-Rogg, a frequent Captain Marvel nemesis.

Then, the spot brings out the big guns. A sinister voice (likely that of Ben Mendelsohn's Skrull warrior Talos) intones, "This war is just the beginning," to which Danvers has a succinct reply: "I'm not gonna fight your war. I'm gonna end it." We see Danvers taking out a room full of baddies all at once with an energy attack, and then — in all her blazing glory — streaking through space, indiscriminately laying waste to what appears to be an entire armada of invading Skrull vessels. After giving us a second to catch our breath, the trailer closes on a touch of the trademark Marvel humor with a brief sequence of Danvers attempting to keep an easily distracted Fury on mission.

This film has been a long time coming, and if this spot is any indication, it's going to be well worth the wait. It promises a rich story on an intergalactic scale, with the delicate blend of intrigue, well-drawn character moments, and jaw-dropping action characteristic of the best MCU entries — plus, a heaping helping of a younger, wisecracking Nick Fury, which could never be a bad thing. Larson looks perfect in the title role, and it's becoming more and more apparent why Fury (spoiler) put in a distress call to the good Captain seconds before crumbling to dust at the conclusion of Avengers: Infinity War.

It also sheds some light on Larson's description of her character, who appears at turns to be both vulnerable and incredibly badass. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in December, she said, "You have this Kree part of her that's unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive. Then there's this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It's the thing that gets her in trouble, but it's also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her."

All told, the MCU's first female-led solo film is shaping up to be a doozy. History suggests that we'll get a third and final trailer before the film's release, but as far as we're concerned, Marvel can just take our money right now.

Captain Marvel hits the big screen on March 8, 2019.

Batman Kicks Off DC PRIME Premium-Grade Action Figure Line...

Batman Kicks Off DC PRIME Premium-Grade Action Figure Line...


 

 

DC Comics has announced a new line of premium grade, highly detailed action figures for later this year, with Batman set as the first character to be released.

DC Prime, the new line of high-grade action figures from DC Collectibles, launches this October with a posable Batman figure. The figure is designed by artist Riccardo Federici and sculpted by Wonil Song.

Standing at 9 inches, the armored Batman figure sports a wired fabric cape and comes with a variety of accessories, including three pairs of interchangeable hands, three swappable heads, a grapple gun and three different Batarangs.

The DC Prime Batman figure features a noticeably more armored design than most traditional depictions of the character, with an appearance reminiscent of the character's look in Batman: Arkham Knight.

However, the iconic Bat logo emblazoned on the figure's chest features the yellow border, similar to Greg Capullo's redesign of the character near the end of the acclaimed artist's run on the Batman ongoing series with writer Scott Snyder. This design that has since been largely carried over into the DC Rebirth era..

Jupiter’s Legacy Cast Set For Netflix's Millarworld Superhero TV Show

Jupiter’s Legacy Cast Set For Netflix's Millarworld Superhero TV Show

 

 

The cast has officially been set for Netflix’s Millarworld TV show, Jupiter’s Legacy. Based on the Image comic created by Mark Millar and Frank Quietly in 2013, the show will be the first of several adaptations of Millar’s catalog currently in the works at the streaming service.

Millar has become one of the most recognizable names in comics. He has done important work for Marvel, such as The Ultimates, along with penning several storylines that have since been loosely adapted into major motion pictures, including Captain America: Civil War and Logan. Millar has been responsible for groundbreaking work at DC as well, with The Authority and Superman: Red Son. However, it is with Millar’s creator-owned properties that he has truly carved a name for himself. These include Kick-Ass, Wanted and Kingsmen(formerly titled The Secret Service). He has been launching titles under his own imprint, Millarworld, since 2004. Aside from publishing indie comics, Millarworld also split the ownership of the titles 50/50 between artist and writer. Netflix acquired the company in 2017, announcing plans to adapt Millar’s previously published work, as well as developing properties based on stories that he will create exclusively for the streaming service. It was previously announced that Netflix is already developing three Millarworld movies and two TV shows.

Gambit & X-Force Movies Are 'Up to Disney', Says X-Men Producer


According to X-MEN producer Lauren Shuler Donner, future movies are effectively on pause until after the Disney acquisition. Disney now expects to complete their purchase of Fox by June, after which point they'll take ownership of most of Fox's film and TV empire. The X-Men and Fantastic Four will be handed over to Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige set to decide how exactly to integrate them into the MCU.
This leaves the future of the X-Men film franchise in considerable doubt. For months it's been business as usual for both Disney and Fox, who've been wary of upsetting regulators by presuming approval. As a result, Fox has continued working on projects like X-Men: Dark Phoenix and New Mutants, and they have a whole swathe of other films in pre-production. These include the much-delayed Gambit, the X-Force movie set up by Deadpool 2, and surprising spinoffs like Multiple Manand Kitty Pryde.
