There has been a ton of Marvel news coming through the pipeline lately and with THE AVENGERS a year away it’s just about time to start speculating about the future.

Chris Hemsworth Taking The Driver’s Seat In Formula One Drama Rush
There are a few films coming in the next couple of years that will be focusing on car racing.

One of the films gaining ground in the race to the your [...]
Ray Stevenson To Play Firefly In The G.I. Joe Sequel
Hearing more news about the G.I. Joe sequel for me is like being in a slow car crash. I’ve already spoken about how much I truly despised G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA and as it is I have little hope to how good a sequel could ever be. Regardless the sequel will happen and [...]
A Kenneth Branagh-Less Thor 2 Gets A Release Date And A Writer
THOR really was a pleasant surprise this summer. I’m well aware that Paramount and Marvel Studios had positioned the film to be a big blockbuster right at the front of the summer months, but, prior to actually seeing it, I was a bit uneasy about the movie, fearing the worst. I was getting WOLVERINE vibes [...]
The Avengers Assemble For This Early Licensing Poster
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit if we see some sort of teaser trailer for THE AVENGERS attached to CAPTAIN AMERICA later this summer.

The Kidd Vs. Thor
I’d be lying if I said I went into THOR with high expectations of any kind. I didn’t even have slightly positive expectations.

Depending on the culture you reference, the name Thursday can mean “Thunder’s Day” in Old English, “Day of Jupiter” in Latin, “Day of Zeus” in Ancient Greek and in Old Norse it means ”Thor’s day.” This along with the fact that Thor wields a hammer was all I knew about the character that is Thor. Clearly [...]
Jon Doe Feels That Thor Really Hits The Head With The Hammer
So I don’t particularly believe in and/or follow false deities. Such a conversation with me could go on for hours. As with most of everything else in my life, I seldom subscribe to any conventional set of standards, and this surely isn’t an exception. In all honesty, a bit of it might have to do [...]

Well, it’s about damn time. The summer is finally upon us, which can only mean one thing as far as we’re concerned (okay, two things if we’re counting hot girls in bikinis) – the summer movie season is here, cutting the ribbon on a few months of monstrous epic films trying to remind us why [...]
