So this past week, some silent quicktimes leaked across the web of the Civil War D23 presentation, and we all got to see low quality silent moments from what looks like quite a fun action packed sizzle reel. Lets talk about this MOS moment!  2 Spiderman speaks out!

Andrew Garfield recently talked about his portrayal of Spiderman and Peter Parker, mentioning that his comic con appearance, long before either of his two films ever came out, was his truest acting as Spiderman. He says “I couldnt rescue those films”.

3 Michael Shannon flips it!!!

A few weeks ago, Michael Shannon was talking about wearing flippers on his fingers, while on set for Batman v Superman, and he was stuck in the bathroom while Zach Snyder was looking for him. Now he’s saying none of that was real, and that he is not in the film, but he is, only as a ghost, like Jorel, but also maybe that Doomsday will be wearing flippers in the next movie. Can I have all of the drugs that this man is on?.  4 Mads Mikkelson is cast in Doctor Strange

1 Civil War in the Marvel Offices

So this past week, Kevin Feige will now report to Alan Horn, circumventing Ike Perlmutter, as well as the Marvel Creative Committee has been disbanded, no longer giving notes for the film division.Jeph Loeb is still in charge of Television, but what does this mean for Phase 4 and the future? While we’re at it, Disney has called Avengers Age of Ultron a financial failure, after making 1.4 billion at the global box office. How will these new moves clear the upcoming slate for bigger bucks?

2 Captain America Forever!

Chris Evans has recently stated that even though his contract is up after the next Avengers double feature, he’d be willing to play Captain America Forever.  3 Tommy Wiseau wants to direct Fantastic Four 2? Herbie and Fantasticar designs?

After the critical and boxoffice failure of Fox’s Fantastic Four, many wonder who they might pick to direct the sequel? Well, fear not cinema fans, “The Room’s” very own Tommy Wiseau has spoken out in an interview, declaring that he “wouldnt mind” directing the sequel” and wondered aloud “why too bad they didnt call me”? He’s open and ready to talk commision fees. So is Uwe Boll and Allen Smithee. Well let’s talk about this for a few minutes...

Dennis Tzeng's Fantastic Four Sketch Parody "The Secret Behind Why Fantastic Four Sucked" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFSUO...  4 Waterman Rising!

He can summon 500 hammerhead sharks and 30 sperm whales to whomp on your ass! I demand to see him riding a swordfish!!!

While talking about Batman and why he is featured heavily since its a new interpretation of the character, he called out Marvel’s recent film Antman as Flavor of the week, while Superman and Batman are bigger than that, in that they are mythological in tone.  2 Rachel McAdams could be Clea in Dr.Strange

Now that their is a third reboot for Spiderman, this time within the marvel cinematic universe, Drew talks about his Sinister Six as being “epic” and how hes back on daredevil talking about Matt Murdock.

4 Miller & Brainiac, together again!!!

Flashback - Iron Man (2008)

Jon Favreau directed the first of many Marvel shared cinematic Universe with Iron Man, fighting to get Robert Downey Jr, who at the time was box office poison, to play shellhead and Tony Stark himself. The results were felt around the world, launching the Marvel Movie Empire we now live in.

Spotlight - Girls

The Luna Brothers have several incredible graphic novels to adapt, I covered the amazing series The Sword a few months ago, now let’s talk about “Girls”. A small town is overrun by an endless number of naked female clones, who quickly take the towns men away. What do they want?

Flashback: Sin City (2005)

Frank Miller created an incredible world of hard boiled black and white crime noir comics called Sin City, first starting as short 5 to 7 pagers in Dark Horse presents before going into its own limited series of standalone stories. Robert Rodriquez, known for his el matriachi trilogy and from dusk till dawn and spy kids films, temaed up with Miller to codirect the film adaptation of the comic series. Pushing the boundaries of green screen technology, Rodriquez was able to capture Miller’s world successfully, from the perfect casting of Mickey Rourke as Marv, to the incredible blending of the graphic black and white shadowed treatment of the backgrounds, we all felt like we had entered the world of Sin City  Spotlight: The Spectre

DC comics has quite an amazing roster of supernatural characters, with The Sandman making it out of the gate first in the cinematic world. Now the cancellation of Constantine, where they introduced Jim Corrigan, the human side of the man who becomes the Spectre, this character is now open to be introduced in the cinematic world. Created in the 1940’s by Jerry Siegal and Bernard Bailey. This all powerful creature seeks out revenge against those who are inately evil, and dispenses gruesome judgement.

On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday Oct 13th 2015) we discuss the following:  1 Marvel drops Antman and The Wasp into the release slate  Marvel announced the sequel to the surprisingly entertaining Antman film for July 5, 2018 for Antman and the Wasp, Black Panther moves up to Feb 16th 2018, while Captain Marvel moves forward to March 8th 2019.  2 Justice League Dark is back!

Justice League Dark or Dark Universe is back on the table, with Constantine leading a search for some dangerous mystical books that were stolen. We’ve got Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and The Demon all possibly being a part of this supernatural team.

3 Marvel Mystery Movies!

Marvel also stakes out May 1st, July 10th, and Nov 5th 2020 for unknown marvel mystery movies. What will they be? My money is definitely on Guardians of the Galaxy part 3, and then perhaps Moon Knight, Howard the Duck, Nova, Warlock, Spirits of Vengeance or Midnight Sons film (Dr.Strange, Brother Voodoo, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Morbius, Ghost Rider,Blade) and then finally Avengers: Secret Wars

4 Inhumans: Vin Diesal is Black Bolt

Vin has dropped another hint of who he’s playing besides Groot, by saying “one role is my voice, while the other role is my presence”. Wonder who he’s talking about?  5 Watchmen coming to HBO?

Zack Snyder has been in talks with HBO to bring the acclaimed graphic novel The Watchmen to the cable channel. Snyder already made a 2009 feature film adaptation! Is it a reboot, or will they adapt the recent “Before Watchmen” DC comic series, with most notable Darwyn Cookes “The Minutemen” series. Will Snyder reach out to the same cast, and will he expand his original movie to adapt even more of the comic book, to fill out his movie into a larger television series?  6 Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

Well, here comes the second season teaser of “Daredevil”, and it’s got The Punisher and Electra, with Stick coming back as well. Can the Hand be far behind? Beg...

5 Hugh Jackman is leaving everything on the table for his last “Wolverine”

5 Batman Animated version of The Killing Joke could possibly be R rated?  More importantly, Hamill and Conroy are back to speak Alan Moore’s dialog!  Flashback: Fantastic Four (2005)

The first official movie adaptation of the Fantastic Four comic book series, since the unofficial unreleased Roger Corman version of the early nineties, was a box office hit with a lukewarm critical reception. It had Chris Evans as the Human Torch, before he picked up Captain America’s shield. It was goifily directed by Tim Story, with a weird mix of uneven comedy and a stupid approach to the fantastic fours powers and making Doctor Doom an electrical powered foe. It made enough money to get a sequel.

The first official adaptation, since the unreleased roger Forman nineties attempt, was a box office hit but was relieved lukewarm by critics and fans. Chris Evans played the Human Torch before he would hold Captain Americas shield. Let's talk about his film  Spotlight: Deadman

Another of DC's supernatural characters, Deadman tells the tale of Boston Brand, a circus high wire trapeze performer who is murdered and comes back for revenge. The series had haunting cinematic art by infant terrible Neal Adams, and when looking back at it now, could make a great movie or episodic procedural mixed with "the fugitive". It had contract killers, secret assassins, Hindu mysticism, ghosts, what else do you want!

1 Grand prize winner , 2 runner ups, gets the super rare Avengers; Age of Ultron artwork from Tyler Stout - this was never sold. Only gave away to those who were involved in the movie and there were only 160 copies made. Go to collider.com and subscibe to our channel to enter.

1 Planet Hulk involved in the Thor: Ragnarok.
Mark Ruffulo and The Hulk will be in the third Thor movie, currently titled “Thor: Ragnarok”. It will take place on a new planet not Asgard or Earth, and both Thor and The Hulk will either be teaming up or fighting each other or a little bit of both.

2 Hellfire Club and Legion come to TV via Marvel and Fox!
Fox has got two X-Men television series moving forward, and they are somewhat offbeat picks to me. One is based on Prof. Xaviers son David Haller called Legion, while the other focuses on the XMens villanous superteam named Hellfire Club, last seen in the movie first class.

3 Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer invades the planet!
So the internet broke a few times yesterday when the seventh Star Wars trailer dropped, forcing many of us to endure watching Football. 5oo timeouts later, we all watched in the final full trailer. What did we think?

4 “Y: The Last Man” headed to FX
So FX is developing "Y: The Last Man", being developed by the comic creator Brian K Vaughan. This dystopian science fiction series is about the last man on earth who can actually still procreate, and make babies.  5 is OMAC the big bad for Batman v Superman?
Rumors are bouncing all around the web, started by a special effects artist who said Doomsday isnt in the finished film. Whether he’s lying or its true, many are now looking for clues, and they might be in the lexcorp website. Is OMAC already fully operational?

Minor Mutations
1 Doug Limon is in talks to direct “Gambit”
2 Seth Rogen want to make “The Boys” as a series
3 "Y: The Last Man" is now being developed as e FX series
4 Topher Grace loves Spiderman 3, “it made a lot of money”
5 Fox says Captain America is “Un-American”
6 Batman v Superman from 1949  Flashback: Superman 3 (1983)
When I think of “Superman” I never thought about Richard Pryor. I still don’t. When I think about Richard Pryor, I think about “Live on the Sunset Strip”. Anyway, the fake director of Superman 2 revealed his real inability to direct a Superman film without using most of Richard Donner’s directed material. Here comes the living abortion called “Superman 3”. This film really sucks, on so many levels. It’s a challenge to watch now, almost as bad as Superman 4 the quest for peace, which is the big winner of all time superman suckage. Let's chat about Superman 3.

Spotlight: The Goon
Eric Powell has created written and drawn an incredible universe filled with ghouls monsters zombies and demons, all populating a crazy town, but stay away from The Goon, or you’ll be sorry. This comic is incredible, the art is amazing, the writing original funny and grittily violent. This is being developed to be an animated movie, but I’d love to see it go into live action and animation as well.  Twitter Questions:

Batman v Superman

Zack Snyder recently talked about why Batman has the edge over Superman, and here’s what he had to say "The advantage that Batman has is the goodness of Superman," he explained. "The compliance to fair lay that Superman has...Batman knows how to exploit Superman.". Bruce Wayne has a big reason to hat the alien Kalel, for the opening scene of the film involves Supermans battle with Zod in Metropolis, as they lay waste to one of Wayne’s buildings.

Preacher Synopsis revealed. Trailer coming next week!

This comic was made as a social commentary on superheroes, with the viewpoint that Kickass and the rest of these heroes were part of the real world, and in the real word people get hurt, and perople die.

Jessica Jones premieres, talk of Season 2 and The Defenders

Legends of Tomorrow set for Jan 16 premiere, new trailer is out!

Flashback -  Superman 4: The Quest for Peace (1987)
What can be said about the super-turd bomb that is “Superman 4: The Quest for Peace”. The worst of all the Superman films that exist, possibly the worst superhero film ever made, this poisonous vapor-clump of super-stink destroyed the Superman movie franchise for over 17 years! Starring the amazing Christopher Reeve as Superman and Clark Kent, this Golan Globus production cut costs in every conceivable way, so that what ended up on screen was an eye burning laser beam to the brain, a painful lobotomy to all the senses, an embarrassing liquid poem made by a feral and starving animal chained up in a demented mutant’s basement.

Spotlight: Planetary
This weeks spotlight is on one of my favorite series, Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday. This comic follows time jumping time shifting future time agents who are involved in uncovering phenomenas of epic proportions, spanning thousands of years and multiverses. Warren Ellis just killed it with his creation of the three main characters, the hot and cold powered Elijah Snow, the IT super genius The Drummer, and the invulnerable super warrior Jakita Wagner, and their multiverse spanning jaw dropping explorations  into the archetypes of popular comic book characters like The Shadow, Doc Savage and Godzilla. Like Kurt Busiek did with Astro City, Warren does with some of the golden age characters, as well as a diabolical version of the Fantastic Four simply called The Four. The artwork by John Cassaday is stunning and completely cinematic, making the translation from comic to movie or series very viewable within our own minds eye.

Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice New TEASER Trailer!

This time we had to watch Gotham instead of Football in order to see a new teaser trailer, but I have to say it was worth it! Let’s talk about this short teaser trailer now

Captain America: Civil War First Full Trailer!

The Captain America Civil War Trailer dropped unexpectedly last week on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and what a trailer it was! Filled with incredible action and emotionally moving scenes! this trailer dropped my jaw, for it was way better than I was expecting!

Green Lantern Corp is buddy space cops film, while Cyborg becomes Teen Titans!

The DC Superteamup’s look like they might be happening, with “Cyborg” turning into a Teen Titans movie, and Green Lantern Corp being spoken about a buddy cop movie in space. Who doesn't want to see Lethal Weapon in Space? I know I do! If they smartly use the Marv Wolfman George Perez material to base their Teen Titans movie on, then it could actually be a hit.

Spiderman begins shooting in Atlanta, with Ironman and Captain America?!

Tom Holland says “Spiderman” might be the only secret identity hero that is left after Civil War, and they are shooting in Atlanta. Robert Downey Jr mentioned he and Chris Evans are going to shoot in Atlanta to shoot something else, since Civil War is done…

Flashback - Batman & Robin (1997)

The big dumb dumptruck, the better best big winner at the top of he sky high pile up that is superhero garbage city, The golden turd topping the top of all that stinks, yes, comic cryers and sweaty nerds, I speaketh of that which is called “Batman & Robin”. The worst of all the Batman films to ever exist, the worst superhero film ever made, a painful lobotomy to all the top senses, an aquatic stink fest of rotten celluloid, this embarassing franchise killing assembly of horrible ideas and even worse execution, that was most possibly made by a feral and starving neon animal chained up in a demented misguided mutant’s 1950’s timevault locked basement, was unleashed on us all in 1997. Let’s pour over the tepid stale crumbs of the dried stench that is “Batman & Robin”.

Spotlight: BPRD

This weeks spotlight is on a spinoff to Mike Mignola’s “HellBoy” comic series, with a supernatural superteam set up at the same spot that employs Hellboy, called the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, or BPRD. This team has enhanced Agents like Hellboy, all with different powers. Their is Abe Sapien, amphibious gillman, Liz Sherman, fire powered pyro, Johann Kraus, ectoplasmic medium, among others. The movie Hellboy 2 was basically a pilot for the as a movie or tv spinoff but it never happened. Let’s talk BPRD , movie or TV series?

Spiderman, Antman, Black Panther in Civil War news!

Anthony Russo said that Spiderman has always been a part of the Captain America: Civil War storyline, and that they cast the young Tom Holland to be the age appropriate high schooler that Peter Parker is in this new incarnation. Spiderman and Antman enter the movie later and bring the laughs, while Black Panther enters the film early, is central to the story, and never picks a side like all the other characters.

Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice Trailer 2!

The second full length trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice dropped last wednesday, which features dialog between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, much much more Lex Luthor, and something that looked like a Teenage Ninja Abomination coming in and attacking both Batman and Superman. It’s been officially revealed that the “Knightmare Batman” chained up and fighting those parademons and a grim silent Superman seen in this trailer is indeed a nightmare that Bruce Wayne has in the movie. Speaking of those two guys who are really angry with each other, they are subsequently revealed to be pals at the end of the trailer, and fighting side by side with Wonder Woman right before the now useless somewhat deflated title appears.  “Iron Fist” Netflix Series moves forward with Showrunner and Executive Producer!

The series that many have been doubting might be made is now officially a go with Marvel bringing on Scott Buck to be the Showrunner and Executive Producer. Jeph Loeb says Scotts idea knocked them off their feet. Buck said "I’ve always been drawn to writing complex, intriguing characters, and that’s what most excites me about the opportunity to bring Danny Rand and “Iron Fist” to life with Marvel on Netflix."Here is the official Marvel Netflix Series Description: “Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.” I’m looking forward to how they introduce Danny and Luke Cage, if they were friends before Rand disappeared, and how all these characters become the Defenders and what brings them all together.

Flashback - Blade 2 (2002)

The 2nd installment in what became a Wesley Snipes Trilogy, Blade 2 was directed by the amazing Guillermo Del Toro, and as with anything made by this monster lover, he brought with him the concept of something even vampires fear, horrible creatures that feed off of the humans and the vampires. These diseased hybrids are tough for Blade and his eventual allies to fight, and this second feature brings with it that Del Toro style, amazing designs, and a great final fight. Let’s talk about Blade 2!

Spotlight: Ronin by Frank Miller

This week’s spotlight is on one of the first DC serialized graphic novels by Frank Miller, who has playing with Ninjas in his run on Daredevil, and went into deep scifi fantasy with “Ronin” which introduced us to a dark dystopian word of the future and the main character Billy, and armless legless savant who dreams of being a Ronin from the past. Billy has special powers, and indeed manifests not only this Ronin, but a Demon as well, and brings his Heavy Metal Sex fueled fantasies into this futuristic Reality with horrifying results. Let’s talk “Ronin”, and what would it work best as, a movie or series?

X-Men :Apocalypse Trailer!
The new Xmen film directed by Bryan Singer and written by Simon Kinberg just had its trailer drop. As I mentioned, the final look of Apocalypse is quite different from the purple ivan ooze picts that were scene earlier, with a new poster accompanying the trailer. Actor Oscar Isaacs had this to say "I love Apocalypse. I grew up collecting X-Factor. I remember when the first comic book came out, and for me, especially because I grew up in a religious household, I knew about the book of revelations, the second coming, the Apocalypse, and then you see this comic book character that is supposed to embody all of these ideas. For some people they just thought he was this big blue guy and it was survival of the fittest, but for me, that was less interesting. The most interesting part for me was the Blibical aspect and end of the world and the revelation of the way things were before." What are your thoughts on the newest Xmen Apocalypse Trailer?.

Series vs Movies!
We are at the point that in this coming year, we will have 7 big budget films and 11 serialized programs for us to watch in 2016. We have Deadpool, Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice, Captain America Civil War, Xmen Apocalypse, Dr.Strange, and Gambit in theaters, while we have Daredevil, Arrow, Luke Cage, Flash, Agents of Shield, Gotham, Legends of tomorrow, Agent Carter, Preacher, The Walking Dead, and Supergirl in our living rooms. As we move forward into the coming years, what delivery formats will be the dominant ones?

The Legend of Tarzan Trailer!
Jungle swinging man raised by apes is back on the big screen, played by muscled Alexander Skarsgard as The king of the Jungle, with Margot Robbie as Jane. Will this Tarzan hit the right roar with the audience?

Star Trek Beyond Trailer!
Star Trek has had many lives via comic books, and has gone through many different television series and films. The newest trailer dropped for the third film that exists in some sideways pocket-universe multiverse transdimensional place, separate from all the other Star Treks. “Sabotage the system”. Let’s talk about this Beastie Boy themed trailer.

Deadpool Holiday Viral Marketing !
The merc with the mouth has got quite a fun campaign going on right now, as Ryan Reynolds goes hangs with kids during Halloween, smashes Mario Lopez with a chair announcing the R Rating, and now, a egg noggy intro to the 12 days leading up the the newest trailer on xmas.

Flashback - Hellboy 2 (2008)
The 2nd installment in the adventures of Hellboy was directed by the amazing Guillermo Del Toro, and he as always brought with him some of the greatest designs and creatures t grace our screens. Bigger, Badder, and in my own opinion, better than the first Hellboy, Guillermo got to have some fun this time, expanding the roles of Abe Sapien and Liz and the really fun ectoplasmic Johann Krauss, and Hellboy gets a little closer to his final destiny, but first must battle the Golden Army. Let’s talk Hellboy 2

Spotlight: The Death Ray by Daniel Clowes
This week’s spotlight is on one of the most recent graphic novels written by the fantastically talented Daniel Clowes, of Ghost World and Art School Confidential fame. With this story, he tracks two friends, Andy and Louie, and their lives from kids to adults, and their relationship with a “Death Ray” toy gun that may or may not have magical powers to make people disappear. Would this book make the translation to film like some of his other works?

Batman v Superman International Trailer and Run time!

A new international german spot has dropped, cutting out the Doomsday/Wonder Woman Superfriends reveal, and instead highlighting the conflict and the battle between both Batman and Superman. A few new clips were also added, but with this spot comes the movies official running time of 2 hour and 31 minutes, 8 minutes longer than Man of Steel. What do you think about the film’s runtime?

Captain America Civil War interview with The Russo Brothers!

So the Russo Brothers spoke about how Captain America and Bucky are like brothers, who are bonded by their past and the only thing left from their past. They also mentioned that Cap will indeed be getting a new suit, his traditional chain mail outfit, and they again spoke about the newer younger Spiderman, and how can they contemporize his relationship with Aunt May?

Krysten Ritter for Jessica Jones season 2 and the Defenders?

Jessica Jones herself Krysten Ritter recently spoke positively about her hope to get a second season rolling for her character, saying there is lots of story left to tell with Jessica, and she would throw on the boots and leather jacket anytime. Do you think she’ll be in Luke Cage, Daredevil season 2, before she’s in the Defenders?

Kurt Russell might play Star Lord’s dad?!

Can we please make this happen, I mean it’s Kurt Russell. He has just rocked it with The Hateful Eight and Bone Tomahawk, and the list: Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, .I think the idea of using the original earthman Vance Astro, an astronaut who later became Major Victory would work with the time periods set up with young Peter Quill aka Star Lord. What do you think?

Flashback - Batman (1966)

The first feature Length Batman movie happened back in 1966, hitting theaters right after the final epsiode of the first televion season finished airing. America was hit with Batmania!!! starring Adam West as Bruce Wayne Batman, and Burt Ward as Robin. We had the rogues gallery represented by Ceasar Romero as The Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penquin, Frank Gorshin as the Riddler, and Lee Meriwether as the Catwoman on screen, which was played by Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt on the television series. This pop comedy styled film was written by Lorenzo Semple Jr,and directed by Leslie Martinson, who just turned 100 years old this year!! . This was the way the modern world looked at comic books, and superheroes in general, as comedic fluff entertainment, and what fluff it was! I saw the series on TV as little kid, and this version of Batman was so entertaining, so action packed, with wild colorful villains every episode, and I had a crush on Yvonne Craig as Batgirl! This was before comics entered the 70’s, and way before we got the grim and gritty dark knight detective. Let’s talk about nanananananana Batman!!!

Spotlight: Invincible

This week’s spotlight is on a superhero written by “The Walking Dead’s” own Robert Kirkman and artist Corey Walker, and the title is called “Invincible” about a high school kid who develops superhuman powers, finds out his dad is a super powered alien sent as a scout to prep a hostile takeover, and he must ultimately battle his dad, all the while falling in love and befriending all types of superpowered aliens and various superheroes and villains.Would this comic book series best make the translation to film or television?

So EW dropped the first character picts of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, as well as stunning concept art of astral travel and his sanctum sanctorum. We’ve seen that the film closely follows his origin in the comics, and Kevin Feige says they are keeping that Steve Ditko look in the dimensional travel that goes on in the film. Cumberbatch has mentioned how he himself uses meditation, Tilda Swinton has stated her character The Ancient One to be androgynous, Chewetel Ejiofor has said Baron Mordo is both a hero and villain, and Mads Mikkelson is set to be the villain, but who, is he Mephisto, Nightmare, or Dormammu?

Daredevil season 2 is debuting in late March, and now it seems to be on the exact day that “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is opening, March 25th. If this does indeed happen, what will this do to the BvS box office, if anything?

Deadpool 2nd Trailer is better than the first!

As we edge towards the first big Superhero film of the year’s release, we got another trailer released on christmas day, and this one was a doozy, funnier than the first, with more of that Ryan Reynolds flavor. How crazy is this film going to be, and can it be better than this viral marketing campaign that i never want to end?

Welcome to Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with John Campea and special guest Robert Meyer Burnett. We bring you the latest news about the Cinematic World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday Jan 12th, 2016) we discuss the following:

Batman v Superman:

with the upcoming special on DC’s world of both film and television airing next week, the world got another tv spot during the NFL playoffs. This trailer got it back to what we all want to see, two of comic books biggest iconic characters squaring off, in this crazy “batmobile vs superman” scene. We see exactly what Superman is made of, ie immovable super strenght, as the batmobile richochets off him and smashes across from him, and we then see that the Batman is not shaken in the least bit by this alien, asking him “So, do you bleed?”. Let’s talk about what Superman heard as he flew off into the night…”you will”

Captain America Civil War:!

Now the Russos have been doing press for Captain America Civil War, along with Frank Grillo who plays Crossbones in the film, and they have been hinting about several big emotional moments that will be hitting viewers upon it release in May. Grillo, while in New Orleans doing press at the Wizard World Convention, states his character is out for revenge, “I think he's out for one thing and one thing only and that's to revenge what's happened to him." The Russos teased about several funeral’s as well. Will they actually follow through and do the Civil War storyline?

DC Small Screen heats up!

So in upcoming episodes of the various DC comic series, Supergirl is going to be fighting a Bizarro version of herself and having “For the man who has everything” adapted, Legends of Tomorrow has been having isolated character trailers and showing 1975 time travel clips, and showing the future fully goateed Arrow and future Flash in upcoming episodes, Vixen is joining the Arrow Series, Flash and Supergirl are going to crossover. What is happening on the small screen! This is insanity!!

Ryan Coogler is officially directing Marvel’s Black Panther!

So it’s finally been announced that Creed director Ryan Coogler will indeed be directing the feature film starring Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther. The film is slated to come out Feb 18, 2018. What will be the focus of the standalone Black Panther feature?

4 Preacher will premiere at SXSW

6 Kevin Smith will be directing an episode of The Flash!

Flashback - The Incredible Hulk (2008)

This reboot feature happened after the luke warm reception to Ang Lee’s experimental “Hulk:, and this was the movie that was Marvel’s second film in the launch of their own new cinematic universe! Directed by Louis Leterrier, written by Zak Penn, and starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk! This film had a great opening in Brazil, it had some Kirby inspired Hulk fighting the Military, and it had a blowout battle with Tim Roth as The Abomination. Let’s get angry and talk about the incredible Hulk!

Spotlight: MadMan by Mike Allred

This week’s spotlight is on Mike Allred’s MadMan. Now if you go back 40 episodes, you will see I called this out, when I was covering three books at a time, and I want to highlight this series in particular. Frank Einstein has amnesia, and only remembers bits of his past life as a spy. He gets into crazy adventures with robots, aliens, secret agents, with a fun 1960’s inspired artistic flavor that rings through in every panel. I could see this being made in a current world with a mad hip art design to every set, and having incredible psychedelic music to go along with it. Would this comic book series best make the translation to film or television, animated or live action?

Avengers Infinity War: The Ultimate Teamup?

The Russos dropped some more information about the upcoming two parter Avengers Infinity War, saying “"We were being figurative when we said [67 characters] and people took it as literal but there’s a lot of characters. Infinity War is meant to be the culmination of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe up to that point. It’s very ambitious in its scope, it wants to take everythign that you’ve seen before and coalesce into some kinda of climactic ending. It’s complicated , ambitious storytelling…We’re not talking about lead characters, just people that make an appearance." They are shooting both films at the same time, mixing the shoot up between parts 1&2, over the next year in Atlanta, and all over the world.

Deadpool screened and gets rave reviews, see also banned in China!

Deadpool has officially been banned in China! Too much hard R secret sauce! Then it gets a secret screening last night, and from what collider.com has reported on their website, the people who have seen this film are RAVING about it! I’m reading these reactions, and I’m talking Klaus Kinski Werner Herzogs Ravings going on! Granted this is a select group of nerds who got to flavor sample this, going to what they thought was going to be a few select scenes. Deadpool himself Ryan Reynolds was at the NY screening, while director Tim Miller, creator Rob Liefeld, actors TJ Miller and Brian Hildenbrand, writers Rhett reese and Paul Wernick, producer Simon Kinberg, and the legendary Stan Lee himself attended the LA screening.

Jessica Jones Season 2, The Punisher coming to Netflix!

The great news justs keeps getting greater over on Netflix, as news broke of a second season for Jessica Jones, as well as The Punisher possibly getting a season order? Bernthal says "He’s a guy who brought the war home with him [in] the worst possible way." while Krysten Ritter instagrammed “Cats outta the bag! Season two baby! #JessicaJones GIRLS MAKIN SOME NOISE!!!! let’s talk about the netflix marvel universe!

Hellfire Club delayed, Legion not in Xmen universe

Fox is bringing xmen characters to the small screen, with two series, and now we’ve learned more about each one. Wirth Hellfire Club, it’s production has been delayed since its showrunners left to work on the new 24 reboot, and Legion is happening, but will exist in its own universe, not connected to the cinematic Xmen world. Will it be connected to Hellfire Club?

Spotlight: The New Gods by Jack Kirby

This week’s spotlight is on Jack Kirby’s incredible superteam of new gods and villains, published in 1971. We are introduced to Orion and his world of New Genesis, a utopian world, in constant battle with a warlike planet called Apokolips, ruled by the overlord Darkseid. This evil being also happens to be Orion’s dad, and the two do battle for the serie run. This cosmic series was Kirby jumping over to DC, from his co-creations at Marvel that he did with Stan Lee, of which he was never properly credited. Many have said George Lucas was heavily influenced by these comics while in college, and applied this to Luke and Darth Vader’s father/son relationship. Would this comic book series best make the translation to film or television, animated or live action?

Batman v Superman: Another Villain Revealed?

We’ve got lots of juicy bits from the blockbuster DC movie “Batman v Super: Dawn of Justice. We had a few dramtic tv spots drop on Sunday, revealing both Superman and Batman’s headspace as to why they are going to war on each other, Snyder talks about why he’s using Doomsday, and Empire Magazine has released all new pictures that have revealed a heavy spoiler for an upcoming villain. We will give you a “spoiler” hand signal at the beginning and end of our reveal segment. (ray use this image for main, then here is the spoiler)

Planet Hulk arrives in Thor:Ragnarok!

We’ve been hearing quite a bit about the upcoming Thor:Ragnarok film, with Cate Blanchett playing Hela, the film being described as a buddy road trip film between Banner and Thor, Director Taika Waititi says the film’s humor will have a new fresh style, and now we have this. from geek.com comes story points of Thor being banished to gladiator type planet, where he must fight his way up to the current champion, The Hulk! This new green giant has been able to stop from returning to Banner, but now has both personalities combined. What do you think of this info?

Kevin Smith talks about a cut interview with Geoff Johns!

If you saw last weeks special that aired with Kevin Smith and Geoff Johns, where they talked about Justice League, Wonder Woman, and Suicide Squad, you know it was quite an event! Well, Kevin dropped this bomb yesterday “We did a piece where we talked about how DC is known for nothing if not a multiverse,' so at which point I was like [to Johns], 'Could they fucking crossover?' And he was like, 'Ahh.' So doors are being left open and stuff like that."

Smith explained, "Think about this, you can have Ezra Miller be the Flash and you could also have Grant be the Flash, because there’s a multiverse at work." What do you think about the Multiverse being introduced in the movies, since they already have them in the DC TV universe.

Deadpool goes off, new tv spots highlight characters.

Deadpool is going into overdrive as we quickly appoach the release date of Feb.12th, we have a lot of new tv spots highlighting Weasel, Blind Al, and Colossus, with quick shots of the X Mansion and Blackbird.

Welcome to Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with guests John Campea, Robert Meyer Burnett and very special guest Rob Liefeld. We bring you the latest news about the World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday February 2nd, 2016) we discuss the following:  Deadpool Mania!

With a week left before the first superhero film of 2016 opens, we’ve got a cubic ton of Deadpool viral marketing and pre-movie mayhem to enjoy! From the Breast Cancer Exam commercial to Ryan Reynolds cracking us up on the Graham Norton show from across the pond, now we’ve got Deadpool giving away Chimichangas at the Superbowl, with a new special trailer to debut, and all of us will be seeing the film in IMAX this week! Let’s talk Deadpool!

How funny do we want “Thor:Ragnarok”!

So after the news of Director Taika Waititi of the comedy series “Flight of the Concords” and the comedic mockumentary “What we do in the Shadows” sank in, I understood that because the script was reportedly so heavy and dark, that they wanted someone with a lighter touch to direct the film, and add some moments of humor to the film. Here is a quote from Taika “whether or not the Hulk should be verbal/conscious, I think those conversations have more to do with what’s going to come in future movies, so I think those are larger group decisions”. He also stated he wants to be able to add his brand of humor when it needs it. How funny do we want the Hulk and Thor to be?  Legends of Tomorrow Guests! Flash meets Supergirl! DC TV explosion!

Legends of tomorrow has time-jumping and features Constantine, Jonah Hex, Hourman, Red Tornado, and a much older Green Arrow from a future multiverse who is missing an arm (dark knight returns!), while the Flash has ripped into the Multiverse, and her comes a “Crisis from infinite earths” storyline to feature the crossover between Flash and Supergirl?! Let’s talk about this!

Two different cuts to ending of “Captain America: Civil War”!

So the newest rumor which could be spoilery is that the film ends with one of two shot endings, Cap walking away with the new team of secret Avengers, or Crossbones killing Cap just like in the Comics, with plans to have him out of Avengers infinity War Part 1, and then being brought back by the Infinty Stones in part 2. Which ending do you think is most probable and why?

Watch this very special episode of Collider Heroes with Jon Schnepp, Robert Meyer Burnett, Umberto ‘El Mayimbe’ Gonzalez and our own Editor-in-Chief Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub, as they talk all things Deadpool — spoilers, discussion, and speculation moving forward. What could Deadpool’s success at the box office mean for the franchise, and what could it mean for the now hot ‘hard R’-rated superhero movies out there in development?

Did we mention this is a SPOILER discussion? Because it is. If you haven’t seen Deadpool yet, what’s wrong with you? Go out and see this movie. For the rest, let’s dive in with Jon and his guests.

To start, Jon, El Mayimbe, Robert and Frosty loved the movie, needless to say. The guys all comment on their personal experiences and some of their specific reactions. And everyone agreed – the movie reinvigorated the genre because it focused on its source material, and by doing so, managed to give the audiences something different in a very special way.

The guys also discuss one of the big winners in all this – the viral marketing campaign that 20th Century Fox mobilized in a perfect way. This led to a great discussion about what they all loved about the marketing, with some of their favorite examples.

Deadpool’s success also traveled throughout the industry as well. Robert even shares a story about what X-Men director Brian Singer thought of the movie, and especially, if they kept a very funny joke in the finished cut.

Even the supporting cast gets a ton of mentions from the crew. Everyone chimes in on some of their favorite characters in the movie – as well as one particular mutant that finally got his chance to shine!

The guys all talked about their favorite parts of the movie — the love story. Despite teases from the marketing for the movie showing posters that were for a romantic comedy (of all things), everyone was impressed with how they pulled off the love story.

From all of that to the Easter Eggs (there are too many things to mention in one post), to its connection to the bigger X-Men universe and whether or not we’ll ever see our favorite mutants in the same movie with Deadpool, the guys all go into some behind-the-scenes talk, and speculate on what to expect moving forward.

And of course, they also discuss the mega-sonic-amazing action set pieces and style that was some of the best action in any movie – comic book or otherwise. It’s a thorough look at every side of Deadpool, so enjoy!

On the heels of the success of Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man, lots of comic book superheroes got optioned and developed, and Daredevil was one of the the next films out of the gates. Ben Affleck was cast as attorney Matt Murdock, with Jennifer Garner playing Elektra, Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin, and Colin Farrell bringing a psychotic turn as Bullseye, this movie adaptation tried to merge lots of the famous comic run of Frank Miller, alongside Daredevil’s origin story.  Spotlight: Atlas Comics

This weeks spotlight shines on Atlas Comics, and their superhero brand of characters. I remember this series of comics best from my childhood, with The Destructor, Grim Ghost, Iron Jaw, Wulf the Barbarian, Tiger-Man, Planet of Vampires, Man-Monster, Demon-Hunter, Man-Stalker, and The Brute all peeking my monster obsessed interests. They had talents like Steve Ditko and Rich Buckler handling the art, while This series had a strange vibe to each comic, offbeat and weird, combining monsters with heroes, and attempting to create their own universe with some crossovers. Could this collection of superhero/monster properties make a good television series or feature film?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is Finally Here!

It's finally here! The older fans have been waiting their entire lives to see these two characters in the same movie; whether they are friend or foe, this is it! Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice is finally being released this week and it's going to be a blockbuster with a predicted $350 million global weekend! This film not only pits the two iconic titans against each other but it also introduces Wonder Woman; as well as Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg to the big screen. The film is years in the making, and we’ve been following its every move since its announcement at SDCC! So the panel goes right to it with an epic discussion about BvS, with thoughts about what the future holds for the DC Movie Universe!

Daredevil Season 2: Fully Binged!!! (SPOILER ALERT)

Can you believe that we have an episodic series of the character Daredevil? And we just got another season which amplified everything that the first season set up. And it just got better! We have the further adventures of Matt Murdock a.k.a Daredevil, alongside Foggy and Karen, as they deal with Frank Castle The Punisher and Matt’s old murder-flame, Elektra. We’ve got Stick, we’ve got The Hand; we’ve got incredible action, and we’ve got the ying-yang debate of what Daredevil stands for as everything he believes is pulled and pushed and torn away from him by his enemies and then, ultimately, himself. It's now the panel's turn to discuss their thoughts about the groundbreaking series so be wary of spoilers as we dive in!

Flashback: Man of Steel (2013)

The controversial reboot made after the softly received Richard Donner homage sequel of Bryan Singer’s 2006 Superman Returns, this new vision of Superman came from The Dark Knight Trilogy pair of Christopher Nolan and David Goyer. It is a film that takes a look at the mythology that has been built up over the last 75+ years for the character; which places him in our world today making decisions that have many fans split right down the middle. Watchmen director Zack Snyder was hired to helm this new version, and with it he brought Superman into the new millennium. Schnepp likes to think of all comic book movies as 'Elseworlds' versions because in comics, these characters are constantly changing with the times. This is a version of Superman that is reflecting our times that we live in now; with a story that pushes those themes and ideas forward revealing just what this alien must do to eventually become “Superman.”

Spotlight: The Demon

This week’s spotlight shines on another of Jack “King” Kirby’s creations, called The Demon. This demon was conjured by Merlin, and fought Morgana Le Fey, but was bonded to one of King Arthur's knights named Jason Blood. This Jekyll and Hyde identity causes immortality with Jason Blood ending up as a Demonologist that fights other monsters and demons across time - speaking in rhymes and, occasionally, teaming up with other supernatural heroes like Swamp Thing. Could The Demon make a good television series or feature film?

Ben Affleck Takes on The Batman

So the news was finally confirmed and Ben Affleck is writing, directing and starring in The Batman! Now aside from B v S issues, we think many can agree that the take away besides Wonder Woman was Affleck’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne and The Batman. The Collider Heroes panel dives in to a discussion on what they would like to see from the movie!

Marvel’s Inhumans has been officially shut down and removed off the release schedule. Kevin Feige stated with the addition of Spider-Man: Homecoming to the MCU, and the sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp, there was no more room for their Inhumans film for for Phase 3.

Captain America: Civil War Opens This Week

So the big Marvel film of the summer opens this week here in the US; which has already made over $200 million overseas. Our own Robert Meyer Burnett and Amy Dallen got a chance to see it last night finally, so the panel look at what we can expect from the audiences and box office. With additional TV clips dropping as of late, the hype is overwhelming for this panel of Heroes.  The Batman Stand Alone to Feature Rogue Gallery of Iconic Villains

Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns have complete creative control over the upcoming feature film The Batman, with a new rumor stating that many villains are reportedly going to appear in the new film. The panel discuss the movie versions of The Joker, TwoFace, Scarecrow, Bane, Ras Al ghul, The Riddler, Penquin and Catwoman in all the previous Batman films so now they wonder - who's going to pop up in this new Batfleck universe? Will it be The Joker played by Jered Leto? Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie? Or/and Killer Croc played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje?  The Punisher Get's a Series Order from Netflix

After an incredible introduction in the second season of Daredevil on Netflix, The Punisher, with an incredibly tough and nuanced portrayal by Jon Bernthal, has been given a full season greenlight at Netflix! Frank Castle will likely be seen in some of the upcoming series like The Defenders and perhaps even Luke Cage and/or Iron Fist (maybe just a cameo). The Collider Heroes panel dig in deep on what they can expect from the new series.  Robert Downey Jr. & Jon Favreau Returning to Marvel

This past week we have found out that Jon Favreau is interested in returning to Marvel as more than an executive producer on future Marvel projects. We also hear that Robert Downey Jr. is very interested in doing an Iron Man 4... Does this sound like a re-team-up? Could Favreau and Downey collaborate on another Iron Man movie for Marvel?

The Flash In Search of a New Director

Over the weekend, The Flash lost its first time director, Seth Grahame-Smith due to “creative differences.” Now the search is on for a new helmer. After the report, more rumors surfaced stating that James Wan is also possibly abandoning ship from the Aquaman. Then he cleared that up with a well timed picture of him leaning against a giant image of Aquaman. All this led to more speculation about Warner Bros. and Zack Snyder, with rumors that just won't quit about problems between him and the studio over Justice League. What is going on over at DC? Should we be worried?

Simon Kinberg recently revealed that the final Hugh Jackman Wolverine is set in the future and will be close to tone like a western. The movie is already filming and has been revealed to be R-Rated. Kinberg also mentioned that the next X-Men spinoff will be set in the 90s.  Captain America: Civil War Opens Big  So Captain America: Civil War made 181 million here in the states, making it the 5th highest grossing movie of all time; raking in $673 worldwide. People are buzzing about Civil War, but it didn’t make as much as many people projected. Is this the beginning of Superhero Fatigue, or is it something else?

The Batman Now Executive Producing Justice League

Oscar winner Ben Affleck is on the creative side of things as well as in front of the camera, currently shooting Justice League. And now, WB has appointed him Executive Producer. Deadline describes his duties as supporting Zack Snyder, and will help with the script; as well as certain aspects of the shoot and heavy post production.

Kevin Feige Talks Spider-Man Back to Marvel

After many years and many missed opportunities, Kevin Feige recently revealed how he got Spidey back into the MCU. He said, “The only way, the best way that we could help is if you let us do it for you. It stays a Sony character and Sony pays for it and Sony makes the profits from the film and it is marketed and distributed by the entire Sony team.” Kevin then talked about why they got Tom Holland, because they wanted a high school Peter Parker, as in beginning high school, and Holland did an incredible audition across from Robert Downey Jr.

Micheal Keaton Back for Villain Role in Spider-Man:Homecoming!

It seems the Birdman did not fly the coop after all as Michael Keaton is back as the main villain rumored to be The Vulture in the new Marvel/Sony film Spider-Man Homecoming. Will he be joined by the nefarious Tinkerer, who also appeared way back in Spider-Man #2? What other villains will be in the film? The Heroes Panel mull this over for a great discussion on what we can expect from the new movie.

DC Films names their ‘Feige’ in Geoff Johns

WB made it official by assigning their heads of production to specific genres last week, and Geoff Johns will now spearhead DC Films alongside John Berg. Geoff previously stated he wanted to bring “hope and optimism” to the DC line of announced films. He recently said “My job is to work with many people to get these films going, especially Batman," essentially confirming to the movie that has been mentioned/rumored/discussed. But will he be good for the future of the DC Universe of films at Warner Bros?  Thor: Ragnarok Adds a Ton of Talent, Ruffalo says it’s “Hulkier”

Jeff Goldblum is the Grand Master, Karl Urban as Skurge and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie... This amazing line up of talent are part of Thor: Ragnarok. Not good enough? How about the fact that Cate Blanchett will also be in the movie as Hela? Yeah, what an amazing cast. They join the already announced Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and our boy Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Mark Ruffalo also says that the Hulk is even "Hulkier" in the new adventure, and mentions that it's a Banner and Thor intergalactic road flick. He also discusses Blanchett's a Hela saying she is literally a killer.  Preacher Debut on AMC This Week

Sunday saw the premiere of the new series on AMC, Preacher; based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s hyper-violent religious saga of the same name. What did we all think? How did Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip fare in the real world and how close is it to the comics? The Heroes Panel break it down!  Michael B Jordan Added to Black Panther

With rumors that Lupita Nyong'o was joining the cast, Michael B Jordan was then announced at officially signing on to be in the film; with many assuming it to be for the lead villain. Ryan Coogler is directing the movie, calling this his most personal film to date. He fancies himself as a lifelong comics fan and reader and that's why he is so excited for the new movie.

Bryan Singer Talks the Future of X-Men Movies

Bryan Singer recently talked about going into the X-Men cosmos in the next feature after X-Men: Apocalypse. But where can they go, is this going to be the beginning of the Dark Phoenix Saga done right? Will the Star-jammers play a role, and will Professor X meet up with Lilandra? Singer also talked X-Force stating that Simon Kinberg is currently working on a rough draft, which will feature the female Wolverine or X-23. He would like to do a big crossover but it must be done right.

Collider Heroes is moving to Wednesday! Set your calendar everyone, because the Collider Heroes Panel will be even sweatier! Next week, Tuesday, is the premiere of Collider Nightmares, a show dedicated to all things horror and it will be hosted by our own scream queen Clarke Wolfe, with Perri Nemiroff, Mark Reilly and myself talking about ghoulish cinematic nightmares and bloody good series to watch, like The Conjuring 2...so now Collider Heroes will be let loose on Comic Book Day, Wednesday, the sweatiest day of the week!  The Rock is Doc Savage!

Yes, this man is literally in everything, and that’s totally okay for the Collider Heroes panel. The Rock is Hobbs, he’s in Baywatch, he’s Black Adam, he’s in some new Ludlum Cinematic Universe and now he’s Doc Savage in writer director Shane Black's next film after he rocks the new Predator! Doc Savage is indeed the very first super-man, introduced in the pulp magazine that brought us The Shadow, and The Phantom. In fact many say Doc Savage was the inspiration for Superman! The Rock announced the casting via his Facebook page saying that the #1 reason he is most excited... is because "HE'S A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO!" The panel talk all about the Doc Savage film and what The Rock and Shane Black will bring to the adaptation.  X-Men: Apocalypse Box Office and the Future

X-Men: Apocalypse opened here in the states to a solid $65 million, much less than was expected; with mixed critical reviews and audience word of mouth affecting the box office. Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg have been very vocal about the upcoming X-men, New Mutants, Deadpool and Wolverine films and what they hold for the future. The panel go into detail about the future of the mutants over at Fox and look at what we might be able to expect from the X-men franchise.

Lex Luthor Returns for Justice League

Jesse Eisenberg let people know over the weekend that Lex Luthor will be returning in the Justice League film, currently in production. Though details were pretty scarce on just how involved he will be in the movie, Eisenberg did confirm his return, saying he's excited to be a part of the new movie and to get his turn.  Captain America: Hydra Agent

Marvel did a massive shake-up for their Captain America comics line, revealing that Steve Rogers betrayed his team saying “Hail Hydra” in the last panel. The news was heard around the world, to noticeably mixed reactions. Even the writer was getting death threats! Every single person on social media it seemed was weighing in with their own opinions and so, the Heroes panel offer their own thoughts and look towards the future of the series and how it might affect the MCU.  Rosa Salazar Cast as Battle Angel: Alita

The much talked about Manga comics adaptation has found its Alita in actress Rosa Salazar. The film is going to be directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, who is currently busy directing four consecutive Avatar sequels.

Mandrake the Magician in Development

Sacha Baron Cohen is Mandrake the Magician, coming soon from Warner Bros., which is based off of Lee Falk’s syndicated 1934 newspaper comic strip. Mandrake has an enchanted hat, clock and wand, and can levitate, teleport, turn invisible, hypnotize, you know, all things magic wizards can do.  Namor Returns to Marvel

Finally, Marvel has got the rights back to their own original King of the Sea, Namor the Submariner! Is this a done deal, and will they introduce him the same way they did for the Incredible Hulk? How will they get him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Will they immediately throw him into the Infinity Wars pool of heroes, or wait until their upcoming Fantastic Phase Four is set into motion?

Animated Justice League Dark

Yes, the Justice League Dark will be an animated feature film. Does this mean that Guillermo Del Toro’s movie is officially done? Who will be in this animated version? Constantine, Deadman, The Spectre, Zatanna, Swamp Thing? Will we get The Demon or Mandrake?

Superman Added to Supergirl in Season 2!

So we finally get Superman back on the small screen! With Supergirl moving from CBS to the CW for her second season, word is that the Man of Steel will be appearing for the first time (not counting a shadowy appearance) in his cousin’s series. Can this signal the return of Smallville’s Tom Welling, or will they cast a new Superman?

Brie Larson is frontrunner for Captain Marvel

Oscar Winner Brie Larson (Short Term 12, Room) has been named the front runner for the role of Carol Danvers, aka Marvel's first feature length lead heroine Captain Marvel. This leads us to wonder how will they introduce her into the Marvel cinematic Universe. It would make sense to get her involved in the Infinity War, and possibly get her origin wrapped into it as well, before we go into her own feature. How will Captain Marvel be introduced?

Flash Hires Dope New Director

The feature film version of The Flash has a new director in Rick Famuyiwa, who recently directed the incredible independent film called Dope. Rick posted an image of Flash Comic Book Trades on his Instagram with the quote “Today was a blur.” How much will the screenplay written by previous director Seth Grahame-Smith change, and will this mean possibly recasting the Flash himself?

It was all wonderful, with things getting super sweaty over the weekend festivities. It was definitely worth the trip to go to the Super Museum, and see the history of Superman over all the years!

Is X-23 in the Wolverine 3 / Has the Title Been Revealed?

With this past week, photos from the set of Wolverine 3 show Professor X and a bearded Logan running from some unseen enemy, with a teenage girl in tow. With these photos and the speculation that comes with it, news soon after broke about a potential title for the third movie. Fox apparently registered the title Wolverine: Weapon X, though no confirmation has been given.  Batman v Superman Ultimate Cut Pirated

Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition was allegedly pirated and sat online for a few days before being pulled down by the powers that be. So of course, that led to some early reviews from people who watched the extended cut. Did the extra footage change the film? Spoilers ahead!

Donald Glover Cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming

Sometimes dreams do come true. Actor Donald Glover, who had campaigned very publicly to be the new Spider-Man when the reboot was announced back in 2011, is now joining the cast in a mysterious role. Now the question is: Will he portray an older Miles Morales, or a friend or foe?  James Wan Talks About His Version of Aquaman

In an interview from CBR, James Wan recently talked a bit about what's in store for the feature film version of Aquaman. Speaking about the movie, he said he knows that after the audience sees Aquaman for the first time, he will definitely NOT be the butt of superhero jokes. Wan thinks that there's something very exciting about that and that he actually does think there's something kind of fun, as well, to take a character where people don't know what to expect from him and go from there. Wan then spoke about going all "Cameron" style, talking a sequence in Conjuring 2 with water and now, he has to put up with water for a whole movie!  Minor Mutations

Suicide Squad Revealed

It’s almost here. After SDCC we have a week and a half, and then Suicide Squad explodes across theaters! With DC’s third movie in their burgeoning DCEU, news has been dropping all over the web, with a report from Collider.com. We’ve got director David Ayers talking about the Batman as “Freaking Scary” seen from the villains POV. The panel go deep into the report and talk all things they’re excited about for the upcoming release.

Skrull, Skrulls, Skrulls!!!!

James Gunn has recently stated that the Skrulls are co-owned and can be in a Marvel Film as well as all the Fox films - it just depends on which Skrull character is used and from what story. Obviously, the Skrulls from the Fantastic Four can’t be used, nor can the Super Skrull; but the Kree Skrull War and the characters from those storylines? Now we are cooking. Is it cool that all the different companies that own Marvel Characters can use the Skrulls if they want, and will this cause confusion chaos or sheer awesomeness? The panel break it down.

Wonder Woman Synopsis Released

With Warner Brothers showcasing all of its big upcoming releases, they have released a detailed synopsis of Wonder Woman’s first film. “Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.” The synopsis seems to follow the original comic book line and is directed by Patty Jenkins; with a script by Allen Heinberg and Geoff Johns, from a story by Zack Snyder and Allen Heinberg.

Suicide Squad Opens this week!

In two days, DC’s third film in their cinematic shared universe opens across the country, everyone is waiting on this with baited breath and a few of us here at the table have seen it. Let’s give a few non-spoilery opinions on “Suicide Squad”!

Avengers: Infinity War is now one movie, not two!

Well, the two part war has become one movie, and this leads us to wonder, what will be the shakeout as far as characters surviving the Infinity War? Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely recently stated “"When we lock ourselves in a room with the Russo brothers and a couple of execs from Marvel, one wall has cards for movie one and the other wall has cards for movie two and another wall has little baseball cards of every character still alive in the Marvel universe - down to Darcy's boyfriend in Thor 2. Let’s call it early, who lives, who dies in Avengers: Infinity War?

Superman Lives..on TV’s Supergirl!!!

This past week we have seen the official press photo of Tyler Hoechlin playing Superman next to Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl, and now we have seen some picts from them on set shooting.  Higher Tier Inhumans featured in Agents of Shield Season 4

So besides the newer version of Ghost Rider, who wears a skull mask and drives a car not a bike, The Inhumans, namely the actual original core crew, like Karnak, Triton, Medusa, and Black Bolt, have been cleared for use in the TV show. Will the giant teleporting mutant dog named Lockjaw show up, or will we actually get the Story of Black Bolt?  Minor Mutations

Welcome to the 69th Episode of Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with guests John Campea, Robert Meyer Burnett, and Ashley V Robinson. We bring you the latest news about the World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Wednesday August 10th, 2016) we discuss:

-Man of Steel 2 in active development

-X-men TV series moving forward

-Suicide Squad smashes box office records

-New Luke Cage trailer

-Minor mutations

-Flashback: Judge Dredd

-Spotlight: Magnus Robot Fighter

-Twitter questions

First we got the new Superman on the small screen in the CW series “Supergirl”, and now the news we’ve been waiting five years to officially hear, that WB and DC are actively moving forward with Man of Steel 2! Now that we’ve dealt with the death of Superman and his eventual resurrection in Justice League, the official sequel will put Superman back in his own world, and who will he be up against? Metallo, Parasite, Luthor, Brainiac?  It looks like Matt Nix’s X-men TV series is moving forward, with Marvel TV head honcho Jeph Loeb stating "As an X-Men fan, and ultimately, what Matt brings to it is that the X-Men are always stories about family. That's where they start, that's where they live." Fox CEO Dana Walden added “There will be some iconic characters but mostly this is about a new family.

The “Suicide Squad” has smashed box office records, pulling in $135 million for its american weekend debut! With many many critics not taking to the squad, and a very large divide between the mainly negative “Rotten Tomatoes” reviews and the audiences totally eating the squad up with positive exit polls! What will the next weeks box office bode for this film?

The full length trailer for Luke Cage has arrived, and this series looks awesome!! We’ve got his origin with a tasty cameo callback to his original outfit design, we’ve got Cottonmouth and gangs battling in Harlem, we’ve got the Rosario Dawson connective thread for all the Netflix marvel shows, and in the middle of it all is Mike Colter’s Luke Cage!

Spiderman: Homecoming gets a third villain, and a marvel crossover!

So we pretty much can guess that Michael Keaton is playing the Vulture, but now word comes that Bokeem Woodbine is playing The Shocker, and both of these villains are getting their power suits from a disgruntled Tony Stark employee codenamed The Tinkerer, played by Michael Chernus!  Jason Momoa will be the brand new Crow!

So Jason Momoa has had his fair share of playing superheroes with Conan and now Aquaman, but it looks like he will be playing one of the darkest and gothiest superheroes ever if he does indeed play Eric Draven aka The Crow! He let it leak on his instagram that he is in final talks to take on the role to be directed by Corbin Hardy based very closely to James O’ Barr’s comic series.  Shazam! Will be part of the DCEU

As we move forward in production of feature films in the DCEU, “Shazam” has finally said they will indeed be part of this shared cinematic universe. Dany Garcia, Dwayne Johnson’s manager stated “It needs to be of the world, You’ve got Justice League, Wonder Woman with a different director, so you’re going to see different points of view.” They have complete autonomy, but will make sure that the idea of Batman and Superman and the other heroes existing in the same world as Shazam.

Kevin Smith directs “Supergirl Lives”, Joss Whedon directing Musical Crossover for Flash/Supergirl!

It looks like a great year for TV’s DC universe, as two great directors head over to direct some episodes. First, we’ve got Kevin Smith directing a Supergirl episode aptly named “Supergirl Lives”, as a tip of the cape to his “Superman Lives” screenplay he wrote, which you can find out all about in my documentary movie “The Death of ‘Superman Lives’; What Happened? Then we’ve got Joss Whedon directing and rocking crossover Musical episodes with The Flash and Supergirl, in the tradition of his Buffy and Dr.Horribles Singalong.  Minor Mutations

Spiderman: Homecoming gets its Mary Jane!

Spiderman has had its Mary Jane, and she’s been sitting under our noses this whole time, when it was revealed that Zendaya is actually playing Mary Jane and not a character named Michelle.  Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders!

Holy Flashback DVD, Batman! We’ve got the return of the dynamic duo, Adam West and Burt Ward, from the 60 ultra campy Batman television series, in an all new feature film. Spawned from the big success of the DC comics recent Batman 66, this movie also feature original Catwoman Julie Newmar, in what seems to promise a fun return to the biff bang pow world we loved so much before Frank Miller’s Dark Knight really took hold and changed Batman forever.

Thor Ragnorak: Are the Asgardians visiting Stephen Strange?

Thor Ragnorak is chugging forward with principal photography, and recent set photos have revealed a certain address that Thor is going to visit, and that is Dr. Strange, while we have set picts revealing Anthony Hopkins in some dirty earth clothes, perhaps playing a deranged insane street person?  Are we looking at a brand new MCU for Phase 4?!

Joe and Anthony Russo recently spoke about Avengers Infinity War and its giant cast, and how it will be a setup to rock what we know about the MCU. Anthony said “For us, there's a narrative continuity between the movies, and each movie is in many ways setting the stage for the ones that follow. For us, we have a very specific through-line for all those films.”  Minor Mutations
