Justice League: Here’s Aquaman Recruitment Scene That Never Made it to Final Cut

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

‘Justice League’ released last year and it disappointed a lot of fans. Now, it was not DC’s fault that movie didn’t work out. The film was supposed to be directed by Zack Snyder, who directed movies like ‘Man Of Steel’ and ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’ in the past for DC but he had to leave the film in between due to some personal issues after that Joss Whedon came on board to direct the movie and it was clear in the final cut of the movie that something was wrong. The tone of the film completely changed and it made no sense.

Now, a scene from Justice League has come out where Batman is recruiting Aquaman, in the movie the scene takes place a little differently than here. The main difference in the theatrical cut is that Bruce Wayne uses his business card to ask about Arthur Curry, while in the theatrical version he uses the money.

Well, this dysfunctional filmmaking did nothing but hurt the film. After the release of the movie, Fans wanted Zack Snyder’s version of the film to release but the makers thought that it would make no sense financially.

The reason why Whedon was brought on board to give a lighter tone to the movie but obviously that didn’t work out. It is rumored that Snyder shot enough to make a footage to have a decent story.

The darker tone of ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’was highly criticized by the fans and the critics so that’s why DC decided to do something different with this film and that came out as a disaster. The character to shine the most in ‘Justice League’ was Aquaman played by Jason Momoa and after that, it was announced that the character will have its own origin movie.

The synopsis of the movie reads:

“Immediately following the events of Justice League, Arthur Curry, the reluctant heir to the underwater kingdom of Atlantis, tries to balance the world of the surface dwellers and his own people. But where does his loyalty lie? In the water or on the land? While Aquaman finds himself at crossroads with these questions, closer to home a known foe tries to dethrone him.”

‘Aquaman’ is scheduled to release on 14^th December 2018 and it looks promising. The trailer of the movie released a few days ago at the San Diego Comic-Con event and it impressed the fans. DC is also looking for the release of ‘Shazam!’ and ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’, both the movies will be released in 2019. ‘Shazam!’on April 5, while ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ on 1^st November.

DCEU right now is lead by ‘Wonder Woman’, which played by Gal Gadot on screen and quite frankly, that is the only movie which is holding DCEU for a long time. People are expecting ‘Aquaman’ to be good as the trailer was really impressive and just like Gal, Jason Momoa looks like the character.

Earlier, we were supposed to bet the film on Batman starring Ben Affleck, who also wrote the script and was to direct the film but for some reason that didn’t go well and DC dropped that idea.

We are now uncertain whether Ben Affleck as Batman or not because there are rumors that he is about to leave DCEU if this is true then DC is in trouble, Ben is one of the stars in there and if he leaves, it will definitely hurt DC.

DC is also looking for Joker’s origin film directed by Todd Phillips starring Joaquin Pheonix as Joker. Now, this is the kind of film DC needs right now, this film is a guarantee to be a success as people love the character of Joker and this will be the first time we will see him as a main character.

It’s rumored that they will be making the second part of ‘Suicide Squad’. Now, the first one didn’t work out but DC can make the most out of this film but they have to establish their characters first. That is the major reason why ‘Suicide Squad’ was a disappointment, there were no back stories of the characters and we didn’t know anything about them.

Justice League New Footage Shows An Extended Flash Running Scene

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

Last year’s Justice League might not have lived up to the hype but DCEU is really doing some great work right now. Well, DC’s previously big projects have failed at the Box Office, including ‘Superman vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’ and ‘Suicide Squad’. However, ‘Wonder Woman’ did great and managed to make people care about the DCEU.

DCEU is experimenting right now, we have Jason Mamoa’s ‘Aquaman’ to come on 14^th December 2018, then we have ‘Shazam!’on April 2019. Now, we don’t know how these movies will perform at the Box Office, but the trailers of both the films looked great. After that DC will release ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’, the second installment of the franchise, which is expected to be huge considering the success of the first film.

All of these films are leading to ‘Justce League 2’. Now, we heard the rumors of this film after watching the first one and we kind of knew that they will go in this direction eventually. They have already started with the production.

Recently, a footage of ‘Justice League’ came out from the DC Cinematic community in reddit. We can see Flash, which is played by Ezra Miller fighting Steppenwolf’s Parademons under Gotham Harbor. It’s unclear whether the footage is from Zack Snyder or Joss Whedon. Snyder was to direct this movie but he suffered a personal loss and dropped it at the early stage allowing Joss Whedon to step and take over the project.

It looks like DC is not having a very good time right now, despite them trying new things, it is not working for them. Their big projects flop, footage of their films get leaked and actors walk out from the contract.

As we know, we were supposed to get a Batman movie starring Ben Affleck and he was supposed to write and direct the film as well but things didn’t really work. Then a different directed came on board to direct the film but that also never went as planned. It is uncertain whether we will get Ben Affleck as Batman in ‘Justice League 2’. Henry Cavill also doesn’t want to work as the Superman. So yeah, this is a rough time for DC.

Synopsis of Justice League read:

When the evil and powerful Steppenwolf returns to Earth with his demons after the death of Superman, he retrieves the Mother Box from The Paradise Island. Queen Hippolyta warns her daughter Diana Prince about the menace to the planet and the Wonder Woman meets Batman to discuss how defend Earth. Meanwhile Steppenwolf retrieves the second Mother Box from Atlantis and Batman and Wonder Woman team up with The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, with the support of Alfred, to protect the last Mother Box entrusted to humans. But Batman concludes that they do not have enough power to save the world and proposes to use the power of the Box to revive Superman despite the risks. Will his plan work?

All they need right now is a success of ‘Aquaman’, which should establish him as a legit superhero. You cannot just rely on ‘Wonder Woman’. ‘Aquaman’ needs to be a surprise hit, it needs to be what ‘Wonder Woman’ was last year.

Earlier, ‘Justice League 2’ was supposed to release on June 14, 2019, but that certainly not happening to look at the things right now. They have ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ to release on 1^st November, so it would be difficult for them to manage both of the things. We don’t expect ‘Justice League 2’ before 2020.

DC is also working on Joker’s origin film, which is also scheduled to come in 2020, but we don’t know it for sure. Joaquin Pheonix will be taking the role of Joker in the movie and it is directed by the director of Hangover ‘Todd Phillips’. There are also plans of ‘Suicide Squad 2’, but that is uncertain.

We have to see how things work out for DC, they are in a bizarre place right now. All eyes are on ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Shazam!’, which looks like a lot of fun.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Upcoming ‘Terminator 6’ Helicopter Set Video Leaked Online

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

The makers of Terminator franchise are on for the sixth installment of the iconic series. As we know, Tim Miller is directing the film while the screenplay is written by Billy Ray, David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Josh Friedman. The last movie of the franchise came out last year and it didn’t do as good as the previous films.

Now, this one looks bigger and better as it is the direct sequel to ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’, which came out in 1991 and became a huge hit. The makers are busy with the shooting of the film. Recently a video came out from the set of the film in which we can see a helicopter is carried out by a crane. It’s hard to say who is in the helicopter, but speculations are that Linda Hamilton might be in the passenger seat, we can see another character from the back of the aircraft, but it’s not quite clear.

The title of the movie has not been announced as of yet. When the movie was announced, the big speculation was that who is going to direct the movie because the franchise had its problems with the directors and then it was clear that ‘Deadpool’ director Tim Miller will be directing the science fiction.

James Cameron was very keen to hire Miller to direct the film, he even said that Miller is the best choice for this film. Now, Tim does have a good resume in directing action films, we saw that in ‘Deadpool’, and it makes sense why Cameron will hire him for this project. Another thing which might have been considered about Tim is that he was a visual artist before becoming a filmmaker and Terminator is a visual film so who better than Miller.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton will be reprising the lead characters in the movie. While actors like Natalia Reyes Diego Bonita, Gabrial Luna, Mackenzie Davis and Jude Collie will also be seen in the movie.

Mackenzie Davis was last seen in ‘Blade Runner 2049’, where she played the role of Mariette and impressed everyone with her performance, it would be interesting to see her in this film. She has proved that she is a compelling actress, without a doubt.

Now, as we know, ‘Terminator: Genisys’ was the first film of a new standalone trilogy. ‘Terminator 6’ will be the second one. The shooting of the movie started back in June and it will release on 22^nd November 2019. Earlier the film was scheduled to release in July 2019 but things didn’t work out due to dates issues.

Well, the movie is expected to be huge. Over the years ‘Terminator’ has kind of lost its flavor but this film can bring back that charm of the franchise. Last year the 3D version of ‘Terminator 2: Judgement day’ was released and it did good, that film needed the 3D version as it made the franchise what it is today.

James Cameron is also working on the sequels of 2009 epic science fiction ‘Avatar’. The sequels were on making for a long time, he has been working on this project for a decade now. ‘Avatar’ came in 2009 and went on to earn around 2.78 billion USD and became the highest grossing movie of all time.

Cameron announced the four upcoming movies of ‘Avatar’ franchise, the first one will release on 18^th December 2020 and the budget of the film is around 250 million USD. The third movie will release on 17^th December 2021 with the budget of 250 million USD. The combine budget of all four movies is around 1 billion USD. Now, this clearly means that he is putting everything in this project, it took him a decade to develop a script for this series.

If ‘Avatar 2’ and ‘Avatar 3’ doesn’t do we at the Box Office then we will not be getting the fourth and fifth installment of the franchise.

Cameron has given some of the greatest film ever made in Hollywood, apart from ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ and ‘Avatar’, camern has directed ‘Titanic’, ‘Aliens’, ‘The Abyss’, ‘The Lies’ and many more.

The Flash Will Die In The ‘Heroes in Crisis’ Event!

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

So, the news is doing rounds that The Flash is going to die in the next comic event. The writer Tom King has revealed it by saying “You can’t have a Crisis without a dead Flash”.

Now, this clearly means that Tom is about to kill Flash in the next comic. They teased during the DC press event which was focused on the series. Tom King said that he wasn’t supposed to give any insight of the story, but obviously went and teased it anyway. He also talked about the Infinite Crisis era of DC’s recent history, when Wally West was absorbed in the Speed Force like Barry Allen once was.

We don’t really know why Tom would do such a thing, why would he spoil one of the surprises of the comic. All we know is that he is up with something great this time; he might have spoiled that because there’s a much bigger thing to come. Now, this is just a speculation, we are not betting any odds here, anything can happen and we can certainly expect anything in the world of comics.

King is right now leading the Batman’s wedding and also working on the Superman’s short story in Action Comics. We speculate that all of his work is leading to his ‘Heroes in Crisis’, which actually makes sense. He is working to make this comic a big one.

Heroes in Crisis’s story take place at, a mental health facility Sanctuary, which was put together by Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. When the story starts, we see a slaughter at the facility, which kills a lot of people. Booster Gold and Harley Quinn become the prime suspects in the crime, who were also there for the treatment.

Barry Allen as we know sacrificed his life to stop Anti-Monitor in the Crisis of Infinite Earths and came back to the Dc comic for the first time since 2011 and then it was turned out that Flash family casualty of Infinite Crisis.

Heroes of Crisis will come up in the shops on 26^th September, and it looks like they have done a good job to make this a successful one.

A few days ago, King got a number of death threats and for San Diego Comic-Con, they gave him a Bodyguard. He got the threats for his comic Batman #50. Now, why would anyone threat someone to kill just because of his artwork? This is what King said

“I was assigned a bodyguard by my con agent. Anyone who read the issue and felt that pain would get a little salve with it, and you’d see that there’s that twist at the end that sort of says this isn’t over. For five days [fans] didn’t get the salve, and they didn’t get the twist. They just got the pain. And so for those five days, understandably people were very upset […] and I can’t blame them. And it used to be when you’re very upset you yelled in the shower, now when you’re very upset sometimes yell on your phone. And some of those people, you know, they said some things that were, you know, just like, ‘Go kill yourself’ or ‘I’m going to come after you’ or ‘You’re fu****.’

What I got was a mere percentage of with some people get. There used to be a bounty on my head from the fucking Taliban — I can deal with a few Twitter followers.”

Regarding his Batman 50, he said that he would imagine it comes from Batman #50 and does happen, but they always tell creators if you feel any sense feeling imperiled or in danger they will do what it takes to make sure that they feel protected.

He also said about his bodyguard that he is as much as a bodyguard as Batman is the husband of Cat woman, shooting at the one who made the threat.

Ryan Reynolds Is Working On R-Rated Version of Home Alone Movie

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

Ryan Reynolds right now has to be one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. He has got an enormous amount of success after Deadpool, he brought the character to life. Now, he is signing interesting projects left and right. He will appear as Deadpool in ‘X Force’, and it sounds interesting. We saw ‘X Force’ in ‘Deadpool’ 2’, which was put together by Wade Wilson to fight Cable.

Now, we are hearing that Ryan will be seen in a stoner movie titled ‘Stoned Alone’, quite frankly, this is a kind of film made for Ryan Reynolds, he knows the R-rated world and did a phenomenal job in ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Deadpool 2’. People love him in that kind of role and it’s for sure that he will impress everyone in this one too.

‘Stoned Alone’ will be the remake of 1990 film ‘Home Alone’, which was loved by many. ‘Stoned Alone’ is a great way to bring back the concept of ‘Home Alone’. The story of the movie is about a 20-year-old boy, who misses his plane for a trip and spends his rest of the time by getting high.

Obviously, Reynolds is not a 20-year-old, he doesn’t even look like that and it’s unlikely for him to play that role in the movie. We speculate that we will see him in Marv or Harry, which was played by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci in ‘Home Alone’. Reynolds has not given a nod as of yet, but this certainly is his kind of film and he should not miss it.

There are also rumors that James Franco will also be the part of this movie. Well, this would be the best thing that could ever happen to this film. Recently, we saw James in ‘The Disaster Artist’, the movie on the making of the worst movie ever made ‘The Room’ and he was hilarious in that. We would love to see his pairing with Ryan Reynolds.

There is no news on when the movie will start; it’s most likely to be by the end of the year. The movie will be directed by a new director Augustine Frizzell, while Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider have written the script. It will be presented by Twentieth Century Fox, which makes sense as ‘Home Alone’ was Fox’s production.

Ryan is most likely to produce the film if he comes on board, which he will. He has produced and wrote Deadpool 1 and 2. Now they should give him the creative freedom for his character in this movie too because we all know what he can do with that.

Considering the success of ‘Home Alone’, ‘Stoned Alone’ is definitely going to be a huge film. In 1990, ‘Home Alone’ earned around 420 million USD, that’s a giant amount of money considering that era.

Reynold’s ‘X Force’ will also start its production by the end of 2018. The film was first announced in 2013 with the director Jeff Wadlow, but things didn’t work out back then and then we got ‘Deadpool’, which surprised everyone and after the success of the second movie, it was official that we will get ‘X Force’, which will be directed by Drew Goddard.

Now, as we know, in ‘Deadpool 2’, all of his recruits dies except for Domino, so it’s quite clear that we will get Domino in the movie and also Cable, who turns out to be a good guy at the end of the film.

Actually, in the comic Deadpool comes way later in the X Force, even after Domino and Cable. We certainly don’t know what the story will tell here, but it will be a lot of fun, that’s for sure.

Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, and Zazie Beetz are expected to star in the movie. The producer of X-Men said,

X-Force is a combination of Deadpool and Cable – they’re like the black ops of the X-Men. They’re much darker and have an R-rated decibel. There are other X-Men characters coming into X-Force at different times in the comic, but it’s separate from X-Men. There is a larger architecture to tell in these stories.

Natasha Rothwell Has Been Cast To Play An Important Role In ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 26, 2018

Natasha Rothwell, who was recently seen in Romantic Drama ‘Love, Simon’ will now be seen in Wonder Woman: 1984. Her role in the movie has not been disclosed as of yet but it looks like she will be having an important part in the movie.

Rothwell will also be seen in Christopher Winterbauer’s film ‘Wyrm’ and recently she appeared in HBO’s ‘Insecure’. She is slowly making a name for herself in the mainstream industry and she is doing quite well. It would be interesting to see her in ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’, the movie is expected to be big and after the huge success of the first one, people are really expecting this to be huge.

Patty Jenkins will return to direct the movie. Well, after watching the first film we can say that there’s no way any other director can tell the story of Diana Prince better than Jenkins. ‘Wonder Woman’ kind of needed a female director, only a woman can tell a story from a woman’s point of view especially when it is someone like Wonder Woman.

Gal Gadot brought the character of Wonder Woman to life. She is the perfect actress to play the character on screen; she was phenomenal in the film. Everything from her look, to the mannerism, worked perfectly for Wonder Woman. Gal did do some films before this but with this one she became a huge star. With her limited screen time in ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’, she managed to make an impact.

‘Wonder Woman’ came last year but people are still talking about it, now that says something. It is also said that the movie was one of the best superhero film ever made, which is debatable, but there’s no doubt that ‘Wonder Woman’ is the best women superhero film.

Apart from Gadot, we will also see Chris Pine as Steve Trevor and Kristen Wiig as Cheetah. It’s also been announced that Pedro Pascal will be the part of the movie. However, we don’t know which part he will play and of course now Natasha Rothwell has been announced for the movie. ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’, as of now is looking great and people are really excited for this film.

Wonder Woman is undoubtedly the best thing going on for the DC right now. Almost all the film has been disappointing. Last year, ‘Justice League’ didn’t live up to the hype. So, DC owes a lot of things to Wonder Woman right now.

At the San Diego Comic Con, we saw the trailers of ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Shazam!’, which looked good but we don’t exactly know how it will work. This is DC has only one movie, ‘Aquaman’, which will release on 14^th December 2018, after that we will get ‘Shazam!’ on 5^th April 2019. Let’s see who it does.

‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ is scheduled to release on 1^st November 2019. The movie is in the pre production stage right now. The first look of the movie is already out and impressed the fans. Gal Gadot looked badass and beautiful as a Wonder Woman should be.

DC has some interesting project to come, starting with Aquaman. It has already announced Joker’s origin movie, where Joaquin Pheonix will play the Price Clown Joker and will be directed by Todd Phillips and that is one of the film which should be looked forward after ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’.

The official synopsis of the movie reads

“Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers and her true destiny.”

Here’s What You Need To Know on the Back story of Shazam!’s Villain

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 25, 2018

DCEU’s ‘Shazam!’ is creating a lot of buzz as of late. The trailer of the movie was released a few days ago at the San Diego Comic-Con event. It surprised a lot of people as not much was expected from this movie, the trailer has a lot of Easter Eggs and we have talked about that before but what was missing in the trailer was the antagonist of the movie.

As we know, Dr Thaddeus Sivana will be the villain in the film and will be played by Mark Strong but it was completely missing in the trailer. However now, we have a detail on Dr Sivana, thanks to EW.

“Comic fans already know Sivana is Batson’s arch-nemesis, but there have been different backstories for the character over the years. In Shazam!, 14-year-old orphan Batson is selected by a 3,000-year-old Wizard to inherit his powers due to his pure heart. The film’s version of Sivana also encountered The Wizard as a kid — but he was rejected to receive his powers. Ever since then, Sivana has spent his life searching for a way to gain the abilities that Billy now possesses in a desire to live up to the expectations of a domineering father.”

The new take on Dr Sivana looks good; a mad scientist who is obsessed with magic can be a good thing here. The director of the movie said that he loves the new take on Dr Sivana, it’s something new and people will like it. He also said that Mark Strong loved the idea of this character.

“Mark Strong loves being a bad guy. And it’s not just him; really, it’s … something else … that lent him his powers … he can do some things that Shazam can’t. The danger in some films is the bad guy has the same powers as the good guy. [Sivana] has an extra thing, extra dynamic, that takes care of that….”, he said.

Now, this new back-story of the evil scientist does make sense as it represents the dark side of Shazam!. The trailer of ‘Shazam!’ looked a lot of fun, it is way lighter than DC’s previous films and that’s kind of what DC needs right now. Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’ was a good start for DCEU but after that, the dark persona of this Universe didn’t really work. ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’ and last year’s ‘Justice League’ didn’t live up to the hype. Even ‘Suicide Squad’ was a disappointment; the only thing working for DC right now is ‘Wonder Woman’. Let’s see if ‘Shazam!’ makes that list or not.

The next DC film to release is ‘Aquaman’ starring Jason Mamoa. It will release on 14^th December 2018. We also saw the trailer for this film at San Diego Comic-Con and to be honest here, it wasn’t all that great. Now, it doesn’t mean that the movie will be bad, just the trailer didn’t do what it meant to do and that’s to create the buzz for the movie.

‘Shazam!’ can work for DC on different levels. First of all, it is way different than other Dc movie, it has a lighter tone. Secondly, it is a new character in the DCEU and they need some new characters in the universe. It will release on 5^th April 2019.

DC will have ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ after ‘Shazam!’, which will release on November 2019 and is expected to be even bigger than the first one. The first ‘Wonder Woman’ movie was a huge surprise, people absolutely loved Gal Gadot as Diana Prince.

Shazam!’s story looks more relatable and will be taken by a large number of audience. The synopsis of the movie is.

Billy Batson, a troubled 14-year-old orphan, is set up to move into a new foster home – his seventh in a row – with the Vazquez family and their other five foster kids. One day, Billy gets on a subway car and finds himself transported to a different realm, where an ancient wizard gives him the power to transform into a godlike adult superhero by uttering the word “Shazam!” Billy and his new foster brother Freddy Freeman must learn what Billy’s new powers are and how to use them in order to stop the villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana from wielding powers of his own.

‘Shazam!’ Easter Eggs Suggest the World Blames Lex Luthor for Steppenwolf’s Invasion

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 25, 2018

Shazam! official trailer came out at San Diego Comic-Con and it was hilarious for the most part. It impressed a lot of people. There were a lot of Easter Eggs and references of DC previous films. One of the Easter Eggs of the movie blames the billionaire Lex Luthor for the alien invasion in ‘Justice League’.

Now, as we know Luthor was shaved bald and sent to prison at the end of ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’. He warned Batman that ‘he’s coming’; now, here he refers to Steppenwolf, who wants to terraform the Earth into another version of his homeworld Apocalypse.

At the end of ‘Justice League’, the bald billionaire managed to escape from the prison and recruits Death stroke. As we have seen in the trailer, ‘Shazam!’ is full of the references of ‘Justice League’. In fact, Freddy Freeman, the foster brother of Shazam! is a superfan and has the number of merch Justice League. There is a newspaper in the trailer, which says, ‘Superman is Back’.

However, what got unnoticed in the newspaper was an article saying, ‘Amazon woman and Batman’ helps combat Lex Luthor plans’. Now, this is really fascinating. This not just hypes ‘Shazam!’, it also hypes the other DCEU projects.

Pointing the fingers on Luthor for Steppenwolf’s invasion makes sense now. Luthor’s escape was news because he has been vocal regarding the aliens coming to earth. Now, blaming Luthor for something in which he had no hands in it is a bit unfair for him but it does put the evil billionaire on notice and also gives the message to the world that the League are onto something.

Well, this certainly hypes up ‘Justice League 2’, which has not been officially announced as of yet but we can say that the sequel is definitely on the making. We don’t know when will it come, but eventually, it will come. The director of the movie David F. Sandberg took his twitter to share the picture of that newspaper which says ‘Superman is Back’. Now, the rumours also say that we might see Superman in the movie as a cameo but that’s not official as of yet and it’s unlikely to happen.

The synopsis of the movie reads:

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

Before ‘Shazam!’, DC has ‘Aquaman’ to release, which will hit the screens of 14^th December starring Jason Momoa in the lead role. He first appeared in ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’ and ‘Justice League’ but this is the movie which can put him on the map. The trailer of ‘Aquaman’ released at San Diego Comic-Con with ‘Shazam!’.

DC right now is lead by Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, which released last year and was a shocking hit. It was one of the most successful films of the year and now they are coming up with the second movie titled ‘Wonder Woman:1984’, which will release on 1^st November 2019.

DC is in a need of good film right now, ‘Justice League’ didn’t do as it was expected and same with ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn of Justice’ and ‘Suicide Squad’. The upcoming films have to deliver. They have also announced Joker’s origin film starring Joaquin Pheonix.

Marvel Finally Explains All The Infinity Stones

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 25, 2018

Avengers: Endgame Thanos Infinity Gauntlet

So, the highly anticipated film ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ released a few months ago and it delivered on a whole different level. People were shocked to see the ending of the movie. The antagonist Thonos did exactly what he said he was going to do in the movie.

Now, Marvel has given a lot of good movies as of late from ‘Spiderman: Homecoming’ to ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, but none of them was as shocking as ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. There were a lot of questions in people’s mind after watching the movie and one question was what can an Infinity stone do and how powerful is it? Well, now Marvel has given the answer of our question. A video has been released on Youtube explaining all the infinity stones.

https://youtu.be/Qwc67btQOUM

It starts with a voice-over, which says,

“At the dawn of the universe, I was nothing. It bangs and six elemental crystals hurdling across the Universe. These Infinity Stones, each control an assential asspect of the system”,

Then it starts with the space stone, from which travelling across any dimension is possible.

The time stone is for seeing the future. Then the reality stone comes, which is bend the reality to your will. The most talked about stone, the soul stone is there to control life and death. The power stone is for destroying anyone in your path, and finally the mind stone, which can create and alter consciousness.

People were talking about soul stone as not many people knew about that. Now, in the comic, it has its own Soul world but that was not shown in the movie but it is still possible that people died after Thanos finger snap can be trapped inside Soul Stone. Now, this is just a speculation and we don’t really know what will happen in the second movie but it is possible.

People are desperately waiting for the second movie to come. Infinity War ended at a point where most of the audience couldn’t take it. The credit of the movie has not been announced as of yet. It will release on 3^rd May 2019.

Marvel Cinematic Universe started back in 2008 with the movie ‘Iron Man’ starring Robert Dawney Jr. and till now it has around 20 films, which includes, all the three parts of ‘Iron Man’, three parts of ‘Captain America’, three parts of ‘Thor’, three parts of ‘Avengers’, ‘Ant-Man 1 and 2’, ‘Spiderman: Homecoming’, two parts of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘The Incredible Hulk’. It still has two major movies to come, ‘Spiderman 2’ and ‘Guardians Of the Galaxy Vol.3’.

Now, recently, the news came out that Disney fired the director of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, James Gunn. How already started working on the third movie of the franchise. Now, we have to see how that will work out.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ are still running in the theatres. Infinity War has become one of the biggest movie ever made and earned around 2 billion USD. Ant-Man, on the other hand, has been a big disappointment, it has earned around 356 million USD, which is a decent amount of money but is certainly less than the other Marvel movie. Now, Ant-Man just released a few weeks ago but we don’t think that it will make a huge impact.

The synopsis of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ reads:

“As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.”

It stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Don Cheadle as Colonel James Rhodes/War Machine, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Paul Bettany as Vision, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

Let’s see what we get in the second movie.

Another Character Is Revealed For Joker Origins Movie

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 25, 2018

Recently, we came to know that veteran actor Robert De Nero will be playing a huge part in Joaquin Pheonix’s Joker Origins Movie. He will be seen as a TV host in a film, which sounds great. People were already excited about the film when it was announced and with De Nero coming on board the expectations are even higher.

Now, according to Omega Underground, we have the details of another new character in the movie. The character will be named Mr Warner, a 60-year successful businessman from New York. ‘He has a black died hair, so black that it is blue. He is a public figure in the city and is a symbol of wealth’. Mr Warner is said to be a strong supporting character in the movie.

We don’t exactly know that which actor will play the character on screen, there’s no report of that as of now. But it looks like DC is really trying to do something different with this one. This film will be new and completely different than the other comic book films. There will be not much of VFX and the budget of the film is around 55 million USD, which is not much considering a comic book film.

It is also said that Joker will be the darkest and grittiest film in DC. It sets in 1980 in Gotham City, which separates this from other DC cinematic universe. The idea of the film is to make a new storyline to expand the universe.

Rumours say that Joaquin’s Joker will be a failed comedian in 1980, who becomes Joker after the audience rejects him. This take of the Prince Clown sounds interesting, its new and we have never seen Joker in that role before. This will definitely capture the audience’s heart. The film will pay tribute to Martin Scorsese’s 1982 film ‘The King Of Comedy’. The storyline of that film is somewhat similar to this one. However, the official plot of the Joker is still on the wrap.

What’s interesting is that Robert De Nero was in that film and he is in this one too. Now, De Nero is not the main lead in this one but his presence will definitely benefit the film. As of now, we know that the movie has several characters, including Joker’s mother, a single mother who catches the attention of Joker, a TV host and now a businessman Mr Watson. Zazie Beetz will be playing the role of the single mother and Robert De Nero will be seen as the TV host.

Joker will be directed by Todd Philips, the director of ‘Hangover’ franchise. The script is written by him and Scott Silver, the writer of ‘8 Mile’. The people involved in this film are brilliant so there’s no doubt that this will be a successful one for DC.

DC is in a desperate need of a good film right now. Yes, last year ‘Wonder Woman’ did great but ‘Superman Vs Batman: Dawn Of Justice’ and ‘Justice League’ was a disappointment. Even ‘Suicide Squad’ did not live up to the hype. We were supposed to get a Batman film but now even that is not happening. So, DC really needs a good film.

You can not rely on just ‘Wonder Woman’. The trailers of ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Shazam!’ released at the San Diego Comic-Con and it was impressive but we don’t really know how it will work out. Joker, on the other hand, has expectations from the fans as we have seen the character multiple times played by multiple actors.

Actors who have played Joker on screen in the past are Cesar Romero in 1966 Batman, Jack Nicholson in 1989 Batman, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight in 2008 and Jared Leto in Suicide Squad in 2016. Pheonix has a lot to prove in this movie. This is the first time we sill get the character as the main lead in a movie so Joaquin Pheonix has a lot to work on to make an impact.

Joaquin Pheonix is a great actor and has four Academy Award nomination in his credit so we can say that he is a good choice. Earlier there were talks on Jared Leto and Leonardo DiCaprio to play the Joker but they went with Joaquin Pheonix.

Revealed: Why Legends of Tomorrow isn’t a Part of Arrowverse Crossover This Year

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 24, 2018

It was revealed recently that Legends of Tomorrow will not be included in the networks annual crossover event. The show is planning to have moved steadily with logical obligations.

The makers of the series said.

“Totally, we are so different from those other shows at this point, it’s hard to jump back into that world with the other Arrowverse shows. And we did it last year and it was of course this gargantuan production and pre-production,” explained executive producer Keto Shimizu in a press roundtable with Cinema Blend this past weekend at Comic-Con International. “For four shows to do that again and to try and make it bigger than last time, I just don’t think it’s possible. I think the crossovers are going to be a lot different in general than what we’ve seen.”

The crossover was announced to introduce Gotham City and Batwoman. The Legends of Tomorrow will not be the part of the crossover because they will be busy hunting the magical monsters, which they unleashed accidentally in the last season. They might not be in the crossover in Gotham but there will be references of the Legends in the series.

Yoko Shimizu hinted revealed that there will be references of Legends.

“We’re just gonna do our own thing and have fun and maybe we’ll be like, ‘Why can’t we get anyone from Star City on the phone? Is something going on over there? Did we get left out of something?’”

Legends of Tomorrow till now has three seasons with approx 50 episodes. It started back in January 2016 and the fourth season will start from the 22^nd October 2018. People are expecting to be something big as there will be references of the show in Gotham City.

As we already know that Batwoman will be joining Arrowverse in the next crossover event. Stephen Amell, who plays Arrow on the screen said that he is very excited for crossover.

“We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’ll be doing another crossover event this fall on the CW, and we’ll be introducing a new character,” Amell said. “For the very first time appearing, we’ll be fighting alongside Batwoman, which is terrific. The crossover is going to make it to air in December. I need to leave right now and start filming it.”

Legends not having the crossover with Arrowverse and Batwoman is a letdown, there’s no doubt about that but what we are getting is certainly not bad, all we need is a good storyline and it looks like it is going quite good. People care about the characters and wait for seasons to come.

The show is in a very interesting point right now. We still don’t know whether they have defeated Mallus or not, people are speculating regarding that and that’s a good thing. The audience should think and talk about the shows which they are watching and ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ has done a good job by creating that speculation.

A few weeks ago, the new set of pictures were released revealing that the Legends of Tomorrow will be heading to 1960’s era. This looks a lot of fun, the Legends have made things work out in almost every season, so this one is certainly going to be a lot of fun.

It’s also been announced that Maisie Richardson, who played the role of Amaya Jiwe in the series will be returning to play a new role. She will be seen as a British character Charlie. Now, we don’t know the origin of this character but it certainly sounds good. Richardson made a huge impact with Amaya and became one of the most loved characters in the series. It would be interesting to see her in a different role.

The series stars Caity Lotz as Sara Lance/White Canary, Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory/Heat Wave, Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/Atom, Nick Zano as Nate Heywood/Steel, Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Amaya Jiwe/Vixen, Tala Ashe as Zari Tomaz, Matt Ryan as John Constantine, Jes Macallan as Ava Sharpe and Courtney Ford as Nora Darhk.

‘The Toxic Avenger’ Director Lloyd Kaufman Criticises Disney for Firing James Gunn

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 24, 2018

The firing of James Gunn has created a lot of buzz in the entertainment media, everyone is talking about it. Recently we saw Dave Bautista reacting to the matter and now we have the veteran filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman, who directed ‘The Toxic Avenger’ in 1984 has something to say.

Lloyd, who helped James Gunn in his initial years of filmmaking, said that he is the nicest, generous, talented and decent person he has ever known, same thing Dave Bautista said.

He also told his fans to boycott Disney for this behavior.

“If Disney wants to kick somebody else out, they should look at their own movies, their sexist, racist movies that have influenced an entire generation of Americans,” Kaufman explained. “Why do we have so much racism and sexism? It may well have to do with the Disney movies. So maybe Disney [you] should fire yourselves.”

“Troma fans who are here, and nerds who are here, go and picket and do a demonstration at Disney, Uncle Lloyd will be there with you, tell them you love James Gunn.”

Kaufman’s statement was shared by a lot of people in Hollywood and Gunn is getting a huge support from Hollywood and his fans. His star casts from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ are giving him full support, especially Dave Bautista, who went on to say that his firing was because of cybernazis.

Disney’s official statement regarding his firing was

“The offensive attitudes and statements on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.”

Kaufman also said that Gunn’s firing doesn’t make any sense as his action was way before he was employed by Disney. Gunn’s other supporters pointed on ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Jhonny Depp, who is still employed by Disney despite he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard. They also pointed out that Disney distributed the film ‘Powder’ despite the director of the film Victor Salva had an allegation of having a sexual encounter with 12-year-old, an actress from one of his previous films.

Now, if they are still employed by Disney then there is no point to fire James Gunn. He has given two of the biggest movies of the respective years to Disney and sad to see him go like this. He was already working on the third film of the franchise. We don’t know who will be directing the movie now but Gunn certainly was the best director to make ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies, he made the franchise what it is today.

People are being vocal on this matter and want Disney to rehire Gunn. As of now, around 230,000 people have signed the petition to rehire their beloved filmmaker. Now, its unlikely to happen that Disney will rehire him based on public petition. However, Chandler Edwards, who started the petition is hoping that the company will not fire another talent based on their past.

The petition says:

I’m smart enough to know this most likely won’t change anything but hopefully, this could get Disney to realize the mistake they made and not do it again in the future,” reads Edwards’ petition, which goes on to offer reasons of support for Gunn.

“I agree on the point that if people say a bunch of stupid shit while working for a studio, the studio has full right to fire him over the possible controversy. This situation is very different though as he made these jokes years before he was working for Disney and also the fact that they were jokes.”

Before ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, Gunn worked on various films like Slither, Super, Lolly Love and many more. He has also helped in directing ‘Doctor Strange’ and was the exclusive producer in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

Let’s see what we get in the third installment of the franchise. Gunn promised that it will be the biggest film of the series but now we have to see how that will work out.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals The Reason of Brad Pitt’s Cameo in Deadpool 2

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 24, 2018

Deadpool 2 released a few months ago and impressed everyone. Now, it’s debatable whether it is better than the first one or not but it certainly entertained everyone who saw it. One thing was shocking in the movie was the cameo appearance of Brad Pitt as The Vanisher, who was recruited by Deadpool to form his X-Force.

Recently, at the San Diego Comic-Con, Ryan Reynolds, who is also the writer of the movie, explained how Brad Pitt came on board. He said that when they approached Pitt for the cameo, he asked for a cup of coffee.

“I was told all he wants is a cup of coffee and I said, ‘Like a franchise or just one individual cup of coffee?’ And I was told one individual cup of coffee, which was really his way of saying, ‘I’m doing it for nothing.’ And it was a total solid and the nicest thing anyone could do.”

“I just loved it, because what’s more irresponsible than taking one of the biggest movie stars in the world and giving him a role that is utterly wordless and invisible with an exception of three frames of film?” Reynolds joked. “Yeah, that’s kind of amazing.”

Brad Pitt appeared in the movie for a few seconds and it was a huge surprise for the fans. He played the role of The Vanisher, who joined Deadpool’s X Force because of his power of invisibility, as ridiculous as it sounds; it was as great to see him. For the majority of the time, we didn’t get to see his face, and everyone was wondering who is Vanisher and when it was revealed, he dies.

The director of the movie David Leitch said that it was amazing to work with Pitt in the movie. He also said that the cameo would have been impossible if it wasn’t for Deadpool.

People just adored the first film and when the second one was announced it was expected to be huge. Pitt’s appearance didn’t do much for the film but it certainly added a little more spice. Pitt also appeared in a cameo in the MTV series ‘Jackass’ for few stunts, again he appeared for few seconds but it was cool to watch him.

Pitt is currently doing some interesting work. Right now, he is working on the Science fiction film ‘Ad Astra’ and ‘Once Upon a Time In Hollywood’, which is a crime thriller. He will be playing the role of an astronaut in ‘Ad Astra’, and its directed by his longtime collaborator and friend James Gunn.

‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’, in the other hand will be directed by Quentin Tarantino and it also stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie. It would be great to see Pitt in both of the films.

‘Deadpool’ was Rayn Reynolds’ baby project, he wanted to make this film ever since the character was first introduced in ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ in 2009, but no one wanted to make as the character was not very popular at that time but finally the movie got made in 2016 and shocked everyone. It became a surprise Blockbuster of the year.

People are now hoping for the third film, which should happen soon. After watching the second one, it’s kind of necessary to have another film. The new characters like Domino were introduced and we would love to see her again with Deadpool.

Deadpool 2 has become the fifth highest grossing movie of the year and the highest grossing R-rated movie. It stands with 733.1 million USD.

Here is the official synopsis of the movie.

“Wisecracking mercenary Deadpool meets Russell, an angry teenage mutant who lives at an orphanage. When Russell becomes the target of Cable — a genetically enhanced soldier from the future — Deadpool realizes that he’ll need some help saving the boy from such a superior enemy. He soon joins forces with Bedlam, Shatterstar, Domino and other powerful mutants to protect young Russell from Cable and his advanced weaponry”.

Veteran Actor Robert De Nero To Join The Star Cast of Joker Movie

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 24, 2018

As we all know, Joker’s origin movie is on its way. It was announced after the success of Suicide Squad, where Jered Leto played the role of the menacing psychopath Joker. When the movie was announced the question was who will play the Joker, Jared Leto was in the mix along with Leonardo DiCaprio but after months of speculations it was finally announced that Joaquin Pheonix will be seen in the role of Joker, which actually is not a bad choice, Joaquin is a phenomenal actor and he has three Academy Award nominations in his credit.

Now, it’s been speculated that veteran actor Robert De Nero will be joining the star cast of Joker’s origin movie. Earlier it was reported that Warner Bros. was very keen for De Nero to join the cast and now it is said that he is negotiating to play an important part in the movie.

As per the rumors, De Nero will be seen as a host of a talk show in the movie sets in 1980 in Gotham City. This news certainly makes the movie bigger, people were already hyped for this film but with De Nero coming on borad raise the expectations even higher.

The movie is directed by Todd Philips, who has directed all the three movies of ‘Hangover’ franchise. De Nero was in one of the Hangover films, so it would be interesting to see him again in a Todd Philips movie.

Robert De Nero is one of the greatest actors in Hollywood, starting his career in the 1960’s, he has done countless films and won countless awards for his performances.

Joker will not be high on the visual effects like the other comic book movies and it’s said to be the darkest film in DC. The budget of the movie is also not very high, it is around 55 million $ USD, which is a decent amount for a comic book film.

Joaquin Pheonix said has huge expectations from this film. Recenty he said,

“I wouldn’t quite classify this as like any genre,” Phoenix said. “I wouldn’t say it’s a superhero movie, or a studio movie or a…It feels unique, and I think more than anything, and probably the most important thing, is Todd seems very passionate about it and very giving, and so that’s exciting. I think, underneath the excitement of these films, and the size of them, there are these incredible characters that are dealing with real-life struggles.

“And sometimes that is uncovered and exposed, and sometimes it isn’t, and so I always felt, like, there were characters in comics that were really interesting and deserve the opportunity to be kind of studied. And so I think that’s what Todd sees appealing about this idea.”

Over the years we have seen multiple actors playing Joker on screen. First, it was Jack Nicholson, who brought the character to life in ‘Batman’ in 1989, and how can we forget Heath Ledger’s portrayal of Joker in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’. Ledger raised the bar for everyone and also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. After that in 2016, we saw Jared Leto, who did a decent job considering the screen time he got in ‘Suicide Squad’.

Pheonix has a lot to look for in this film, he is not just playing a character from the comic book, he is playing someone who has made actors famous. Let’s see whether he can deliver or not. We can cross our fingers on him because he is a great actor and has given some great performances in the past and also considering the director of this movie.

Joker will release in 2019 and is in pre-production right now. It also stars Zazie Beetz, who was seen as Domino in ‘Deadpool 2’.

Dave Bautista aka Drax Reacts Strongly On James Gunn’s Firing!

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 24, 2018

James Gunn Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Disney

As we all know, the director of ‘Gurdians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Guardins Of the Galaxy Vol. 2’, James Gunn has been fired from MCU and Disney at the San Diego Comic-Con. Gunn is one of the most successful filmmakers that MCU ever had, he made the series of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ what it is today.

His firing shocked the entertainment world as no one expected it. Disney cut down all the ties with the writer-director because he made some offensive jokes 10 years ago. Obviously, this is huge and it has disappointed a lot of fans including the actors from the movie.

Dave Bautista who plays Drax in the series blamed the cybernazi’s for the firing of Gunn. With the series of tweets, he wrote.

“What will you do when the #cybernazis attack you? Who will stand by you? Who will cowardly distance themselves from you? Who will punish you for horrible JOKES in the past instead of defending you for INSPIRING millions? MILLIONS!!!”

What will you do when the #cybernazis attack you? Who will stand by you? Who will cowardly distance themselves from you? Who will punish you for horrible JOKES in the past instead of defending you for INSPIRING millions? MILLIONS!!! #Redemption #injustice @JamesGunn

— Super Duper Fly (@DaveBautista) July 22, 2018

“What happened here is so much bigger than G3, @JamesGunn, myself, @Disney etc. This was a #cybernazi attack that succeeded. Unless we start to unite together against this crap, whether people are offended are not! …it’s going to get much worse. And it can happen to anyone”

What happened here is so much bigger then G3, @JamesGunn ,myself,@Disney etc. This was a #cybernazi attack that succeeded. Unless we start to unite together against this crap, whether people are offended are not! …it’s going to get much worse. And it can happen to anyone https://t.co/AMZEd0tfqb

— Super Duper Fly (@DaveBautista) July 22, 2018

Bautista referred to Jack Posobiec and Michael Cernovich with ‘cybernazi’, who wrote about Gunn’s previous tweets. Bautista is a close friend of Gunn and we can see exactly why he is upset. He also said that Posobiec is a self-described “political operative” and Cernovich wrote a book Gorilla Mindset, which says that women should submit to alpha males.

Dave Bautista has been very vocal when it comes to his opinion, he always makes his point whether anyone likes or not. He is one of the most entertaining and loved characters in the franchise, he was the best part in the second film and even in Infinity War, he managed to impress the audience in a very limited screen time.

In 2012, when Disney hired Gunn for directing the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies, he formally apologized for everything he said and claimed to be a different man. Bautista also said that Gunn was a changed man.

Gunn already started to work on the third installment of the franchise which was dated to released in 2020 but now with his firing, we don’t know about that. We don’t know who will direct the movie now and how a different director’s vision will work with Gunn’s.

We saw ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ earlier this year, where all the characters from the Guardians except Rocket Racoon dies. The third installment of the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ was supposed to be the biggest movie of the franchise and James Gunn was working on it for a long time and he promised that the movie will be a Blockbuster.

He has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood as of late. ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ gave a different dimension to his acting career and he often says that the series is close to his heart.

This will definitely hurt the series, James Gunn is a great filmmaker, and sad to see someone like him go like that. Now, obviously this is not the end of his career but he was enjoying his part as the director of ‘Guardians Of the Galaxy’. This also states that you have to make a certain image if you are working with Disney.

‘Bumblebee’ Writer Explains the Reason of 1980’s Setting!

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 23, 2018

The official trailer of ‘Bumblebee’ released a few months ago and it was quite good. Things with the Transformer movies are that it’s not meat to take seriously, it’s for kids and it does a good job to entertain them. As we know, it is the sixth installment of the Transformer film series and is the prequel to the 2007 movie ‘Transformers’.

The setting of the movie is in 1980, which is interesting considering the previous Transformer movies. The writer of the movie Christina Hodson at the San Diego Comic Con gave the reason for the film’s setting in 1980. He said that the film takes place in 1987, 20 years before Michael Bay’s first live-action film and the reason for that is to pay tribute to the original ‘Generation 1’ series. The series ran from 1984-87 and inspired many children, he said:

“Honestly, I want to tell a pretty timeless story with this one,” Hodson said. “I grew up on Amblin movies. I always loved the way those movies did kind of feel timeless. They felt like they could exist anytime, anyone in this small town that felt almost like a bubble. And the 80’s felt like a natural fit. I grew up in the 80’s. It’s when Transformers became a big thing. It’s when a lot of people fell in love with Bumblebee, so it made sense to do it then.”

The story of Bumblebee looks interesting as it is the story of the beginning of Transformers series. The fact that it sets 20 years before the Transformer movie makes it compelling and interesting. It stars Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena in the lead role and it is a very important project in both of their careers. Hailee has done some films but has not made a huge impact, her music career is great, she has impressed a lot of people in that but in acting, she has yet to impress the mainstream audience.

John Cena, on the other hand, is trying to make his name as a star. After becoming a part-time wrestler, Cena has done some great films and made his name in the Hollywood but he is yet to give a huge Blockbuster and it looks like his first Blockbuster will be ‘Bumblebee’. Cena is one of the biggest WWE stars just like Dwayne Johnson but unlike Dwayne, he is not a huge movie star. ‘Bumblebee’ will definitely help him considering his popularity.

The movie is produced by Stephen Spielberg’s production company, which has given some of the best movies from the 80’s. The director of the movie Travis Knight shares his experience as the 80’s child. He also said that Transformers has made a huge impact on him in the early years.

“I was around when the first wave of Transformers hit our shores,” he said. “I love these characters. The first feeling that I got when I saw the Transformers was wonder. I couldn’t believe it. I’d never seen anything like it. I thought they were so completely awesome, but at the same time I grew up, you know, loving ’80’s cinema and there was nothing for me that was more meaningful than those great Amblin, Spielberg, Spielberg-ian coming of age stories.

The first movie that moved me to tears, was E.T. I saw in the movie theater with my mom and I remember seeing this whole thing transpire on screen and it was this incredibly moving portrait of childhood loneliness. It felt like someone had somehow peered into me and, and seen an aspect of me and put it on the screen.”

Transformer movies have always been a Box Office success despite the reviews, but its last film ‘The Last Knight’ failed to make an impact in the Box Office. ‘Bumblebee’ has an even bigger point to prove right now, it has to take the load of the failure of ‘The Last Knight’. Let’s see how it goes in the Box Office.

Tony Stark will Debut His Biggest Armor to Fight Thanos!

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 23, 2018

Earlier this year, we saw one of the biggest films ever made in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and everyone was shocked by the end of that film. No one expected the way it ended, Thanos did exactly what he said he was going to do and it left a lot of question in the mind of fans and for the answers, we have to wait for the next part of the movie, which will release next year.

Tony Stark aka Iron Man played a huge role in the film, he was about to die with the hands of Thanos but Doctor Strange saves his life by giving him the Time Stone. Now this left the audience wondering why Doctor Strange would do that, why would he give the Time Stone to Thanos making his work easy, why would he save Iron Man’s life.

Well, now it looks like the questions have been answered. Tony Stark will be debuting his biggest armor in the next film. In the year 2013, Stark came to know that he had a secret origin, which even he never realized existed. He discovered the Godkiller armor, an ancient weapon and the purpose of that weapon is to scupper Celestials. Now, he can not pilot the armor but his experience with Godkiller was enough for him to make one of his own.

In Avengers 4, we will get Iron Man’s biggest creation ever, the giant-sized Godkiller Mark II. We don’t know what the armor is capable of in terms of damage, we don’t know whether it will be enough for someone like Thanos but certainly it is a good thing for the Avengers to have. This might be the reason why Doctor Strange saved Tony’s life, which makes sense.

In the last movie, we saw Thor getting an axe, which helped him in fighting the battles and it obviously was not enough but in the next film there are a lot of things to come that’s for sure. With Tony’s Godkiller Mark II, the Avengers will become better and stronger.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ has become one of the biggest film ever made, it has earned around 2 billion USD, and it is one of the highest grossing movies of all time. The expectations from the second movie are in the sky, people are desperately waiting for the movie. After watching the first film, we don’t know what to expect in the second one, which is a good thing. Marvel did a great job in building up the Universe from 2008, with the movie ‘Iron Man’. Since then we got 20 movies and still 5 more to come.

There are a lot of things to look out for in the next Avenger movie, and it looks like Marvel is doing a good job of making us excited for it. A few weeks ago MCU’s latest film, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ released and it did not impress the audience. People were excited about the movie but it was a big disappointment. The next Marvel film is ‘Captain Marvel’, which will release on March 8, 2019. In the Infinity War, we saw Nick Fury calling Captain Marvel before dying in the post credit. It would be interesting to see how Captain Marvel comes to the team of Avengers.

After ‘Avengers 4’, we still have ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, which is interesting because both Spiderman and the members of the Guardians die in Infinity War, the only surviving member of the Guardians was Rocket Racoon. Avengers 4 will release on 3^rd May 2019 and is directed by Russo brothers, the confirmed star cast of the movie is Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin and Scarlett Johansson.

Lynda Carter will be Back for the Fourth Season of ‘Supergirl’

Post date July 23, 2018

Lynda Carter, who brought Wonder Woman to life in 1975 will be making her return in the DC universe by reprising her role in ‘Supergirl’ season 4. She was seen as President Marsdin in three of the episode. She made her return in DC back in 2016 in season 2 of Supergirl. Now, in the fourth season, we will again see her in the role of President.

President Marsdin is one of the best characters in ‘Supergirl’ series and watching her again in the screen is great. Her character was an alien and that really connected with the audience, it also helped Supergirl in the immigration storyline. The series is on a very interesting note right now and with the return of Carter, it has become even better. Her presence will definitely make an impact on the series.

The trailer of released at the San Diego Comic-Con, where the producer Robert Rovner said that the show will be more of the reflection of the real world. It certainly sounds interesting. People are waiting for the series to come, and with this news, the anticipation and the expectation from the series are high on the sky.

I absolutely LOVE working with @MelissaBenoist and I'm delighted to be returning to @TheCWSupergirl next season as President Marsdin. #supergirlcw pic.twitter.com/d7Sj3Xu59S

Lynda confirmed the news on her Twitter account by writing “I absolutely LOVE working with @MelissaBenoist and I’m delighted to be returning to @TheCWSupergirl next season as President Marsdin”.

Fans are also expecting the return of Callista Flockhart as Cat Grant, which will be great if happens, however, it’s not been confirmed as of yet. At the San Diego Comi-Con pannel, the makers stated that anything is possible, so there still is a possibility.

To be honest, the third season of Supergirl was not all that great, it was average. Now, when President Marsdin is back in the fourth season, we can expect something good. It stars Melissa Benoist as Supergirl, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Jeremy Jordon as Winn Schott, David Harewood as Martin Manhunter, and of course Lynda Carter as President Marsden.

It’s not clear that for how many episodes Lynda will appear, that’s a complete suspense. Her role will be and should be a surprise, she should have a bigger and better part in this series.

Lynda played the role of Wonder Woman in 1975, which quite frankly was the incarnation of Diana Price as a character. She made a huge impact and carried the series for four seasons till 1979. People loved her in that role. She was one of the honorees in DC’s 50^th Anniversary publication for her amazing work in the Wonder Woman series. She was there when DC was just starting to adapt their comics in cinema.

Lynda also starred in ‘Super Troops 2’, which is the sequel to the 2001 film ‘Super Troops’. It was her return to Hollywood after 11 years and she did a great job in that film. We are expecting her to make a huge impact in ‘Supergirl’ too. She has been featured in several TV series including Hawkeye, When Friendship Kills, Slayer, Skin Wars and many more.

Supergirl will start from October 14 on CW.

Shazam! Director Sandberg Shows The Close Up Pictures of ‘Justice League’ Easter Eggs

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 23, 2018

The trailer of DC’s ‘Shazam!’ came out yesterday and it impressed a lot of people. There was not much hype for this one looking at other DC’s projects but the trailer did its job and created hype for the film. It focuses on Billy Baston and Zachary Levi’s origin story but it also has the clips of several Easter Eggs from ‘Justice League’.

There were logos of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, and also we saw a newspaper talking about Superman in the trailer. In fact, the director of the movie David F. Sandberg took on his Instagram to share the picture of the Daily Planet newspaper, with the headline ‘Superman is back’.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Blilhvtgnsw/?taken-by=ponysmasher

It’s also been rumoured that Superman might do a cameo in Shazam!, now if this happens, the movie will become even bigger. However, nothing is confirmed as of yet. The trailer of the movie released at the Comic-Con 2018 along with a footage of ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ and the trailer of ‘Aquaman’.

There are small things to be noticed in the trailer of ‘Shazam!’ as when Shazam is testing his flying abilities, he runs up to the half ramp and at the right side of the frame, we can read Arion. Now, Arion has not been introduced in DCEU as of yet but he is a huge part of DC comics. This might indicate that we can see Arion sometime down the line in DCEU.

The movie looks a lot of fun, the trailer was hilarious and interesting and it did its job to make fans excited. It might be a surprise hit just like ‘Wonder Woman’ last year. But let’s see whether the movie delivers or not.

The synopsis of the movie reads:

“We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).”

Last year was pretty big for DCEU, they had the huge success of ‘Wonder Woman’, ‘Justice Leauge’, didn’t live up to the hype but it still managed to make a decent amount of money at the Box Office but in 2018, we will only have ‘Aquaman’ from DCEU. 2019, however, will be the big one, where we will see ‘Shazam!’ and ‘Wonder Woman: 1984. People are already excited about ‘Aquaman’ and ‘Wonder Woman: 1984’ as they are introduced in DCEU. But the trailer of ‘Shazam!’ surprised a lot of fans.

Shazam project was on hold for a long time but last year when David Sandberg came on board, the movie went on the floor. Earlier, Dwayne Johnson was supposed to play the lead role in the movie but things didn’t work out for some reason.

Finally, in August 2017, Sandberg confirmed that he would be directing the movie and by the end of that month the movie started its pre-production. We still have a lot of tie for this movie and quite frankly, that’s a good thing, the excitement and anticipation for the film will increase over time. It will hit the screens on April 5, 2019.

Ruben Fleischer Teases Spider-Man’s Cameo In Venom

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 23, 2018

Last year we saw Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man Homecoming’, which made a very good impression on Marvel fans. Tom Holland as Peter Parker worked very well and he gave a completely new dimension to the character of Spider-Man. Even in the ‘Infinity War’, Spider-Man managed to make a huge impact and people felt for him.

Now, it’s already been confirmed that we will get another Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland but it’s been rumored that we can get a crossover of Venom and Spider-Man in Tom Hardy starrer ‘Venom’. It has not been confirmed as of yet but the director is teasing it. At the Comic-Con 2018, the director Ruben Fleischer stated that they will meet some point down the road. We don’t know that when we will get to see Spider-Man and Venom at the same time but it looks like it will happen.

Sony has done a good job by introducing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and although Venom is not attached to the MCU, Sony owns the right of Spider-Man, so they can do whatever they want with the character and the rumours of Tom Holland making a cameo appearance in Tom Hardy’s film is doing the rounds. It looks like Sony wants this crossover to happen as it would be good for business. However, MCU is at that stage right now where something like this might spoil their reputation. This can happen only if Venom crashes at Box Office and becomes a Blockbuster, which is likely to happen.

It would be interesting to see these two characters together as they have a long history. Its another thing that they have never meet in the MCU but Venom was a huge part of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man in ‘Spider-Man 3’. Topher Grace played the role of Venom in that film. Of course, ‘Spider-Man 3’ didn’t live up to the expectations and people were disappointed.

People are excited to see the new version of Venom as in Spider-Man 3, we didn’t get to know much about him as a character but here we are getting a full fletched movie on him, which is great. Sony and Marvel so far have done a good job with their films, so we can cross our fingers with Venom too as it is in good hands. The trailer of the movie released a few months earlier and it made everyone excited. Hardy is one of the finest actors working in Hollywood today and playing such a character makes both the film and him better.

Tom Hardy is also excited for the movie, at the Comic-Con, he said that he would go toe to toe with Tom Holland someday. Spider-Man has become one of the most loved superheroes in MCU and his presence will make ‘Venom’ bigger for sure. With Tom Hardy’s involvement in the movie, it is already something to watch out for.

It would be interesting to see Spider-Man after watching his role in Infinity War. Tom Holland has managed to make us care about the Spider-Man, people love him in that role and are desperate to see him again.

Venom, on the other hand, is making his cinematic debut as the lead character and it is looking good as of now. The trailer left the fans with anticipation. As we know, the movie is supposed to adapt the 90’s Marvel comic Lethal Protector, where Eddie Brock aka Venom becomes a hero in San Fransico. In the comic, the story begins with Venom making an agreement with Spider-Man that they will not see each other again and he will not commit any crime. Now, it’s not sure whether this part will be shown in the movie or not. However, it sounds interesting. The movie hit the screens on 4^th October and is expected to have a good run at the Box Office.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald New Trailer Gives The Insight of The Story

Post author By Rohit Ranjan
Post date July 22, 2018

The first trailer of Fantastic Beast: The Crimes of Grindelwald released a few months ago and it left a lot of questions in the fans mind. Well, now the second trailer is out and it gives a little bit more about the plot. The second of the five confirmed Harry Potter prequels is looking even bigger and better than the first one, which is a good thing.

In the first movie, we saw the American Wizard World in the setting of New York. While in this film the magic moves to Paris, covering another adventurous world.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer starts with Albus Dumbledore and young Newt Scamander in Hogwarts. Jude Law as young Dumbledore is going to be the highlight of the movie, he is the one to watch out for in the movie, people are looking forward to his character and it looks like he has done a good job in portraying it.

The menacing and evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald played by Johnny Depp is the perfect villain for Dumbledore and Scamander. His presence in the trailer makes it even more compelling and interesting, and Johnny Depp is the perfect actor to play it. We did saw him at the end of Fantastic Beast and Where to find them, but we can say that this is his movie; he is the main antagonist in this film which is quite clear by the trailer.

The thing to look out for in this film is the relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Grindelwald. As we know, these two were good friends before but now they are standing on the other side against each other, it sounds interesting and it would be good to see their chemistry. Newt Scamander shows more of his magic in this film and we can see that in the trailer. The first film was just an introduction to his character but here we will be exploring more of Scamander’s character, that’s for sure. The fact that he will be teaming up with Dumbledore in the movie makes it interesting.

The first movie, which released in 2016, was a huge success, it grossed around 800 million USD, that’s a huge amount of money and there were no Dumbledore or Grindelwald. With their presence in the second movie, it is expected to be even bigger. When it was announced that Jude Law will be playing the role of young Dumbledore in this film, people got more excited for this film as we have always seen Dumbledore as an old professor. In this film, we will get to see him in his prime.

There are multiple Goosebumps moments in the trailer, every dialogue gives you chills, but at the end when we hear the Harry Potter theme song is the moment where we can say that the film is sold and it is going to be a Blockbuster. The movie is directed by David Yates, who also directed the first Fantastic Beast movie, including the last four installments of Harry Porter from The Order of Pheonix. He knows the inside of this world very well. He knows these characters just like JK Rowling. His collaboration with Rowling in six movies might have helped him in knowing the characters from the inside He also confirmed that he will be directing all the five movies of the franchise. Rowling has written the screenplay herself just like the first film.

The visuals don’t disappoint here, in fact, it’s looking to be one of the best parts of the movie, which is not a surprise and it is kind of expected from Harry Potter movie, it always had eye gasmic visuals. However, the VFX is looking more compelling than the first Fantastic Beast movie.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be releasing on 16^th of November 2018 and we just can’t wait for it. It is one of the most anticipated movies of the year and the trailer did its job to hype the movie. Earlier, Fantastic Beast was supposed to be a trilogy but JK Rowling confirmed that it will have five movies. Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Walterson, Dan Fogler and Ezra Miller will reprise their role as Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Jacob Kowalski and Credence Barebone. On the other hand, Jude Law and Johnny Depp will be playing Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.

Here’s the trailer below:
