Review: Marvel Pinball
Third on the "Live Action" slate was Cloak and Dagger , an ABC Family show aimed a teenagers, which will take place in a "post-Katrina New Orleans." For those not in the know, the comic book is about two teenage runaways: 1) "Cloak," A.K.A. Tyrone Johnson, a seventeen-year-old Boston boy who runs away to New York because his debilitating stutter prevents him from calling out to his friend and saving him from getting hit by a car. 2) "Dagger," A.K.A. Tandy Bowen, an incredibly privileged rich girl who runs away from her home because her super model mother doesn’t have time for
By now you should know that Thor will be played by Chris Hemsworth (Captain Kirk's father in the new Star Trek movie); British actor Tom Hiddleston is playing Thor 's nemisis, Loki ; and director Kenneth Branagh is rumored to have tapped renowned thespian Brian Blessed to play Thor 's father, the almighty Od
The film’s failure was so colossal that Berry herself later accepted her Razzie Award in person , laughing at her misfortune. While Catwoman has gained ironic cult status, it remains a textbook example of how to completely misunderstand a beloved character. It is frequently voted one of the worst superhero movies e
Critics slammed Fantastic Four ’s pacing, tone and lack of fun. Even Trank publicly disowned the final cut. What could have been a bold reimagining turned into a lifeless origin story that alienated viewers and embarrassed Marvel’s most enduring t
The last we heard Jon Favreau was possibly going to helm The Avengers movie . Only real update to report is that according to Kevin Feige, Captain America will be involved in the film from the very start - meaning we won't have to spend half the movie waiting for The Avengers to thaw him out of suspended animation. That's good news, in my opinion: I was worried The Avengers was going to go the "Cap appears at the end" route. That would've been a serious cop-
Long before antiheroes were fashionable, this quote turned trauma into strength. It’s playful, biting, and tragically human – a declaration of self-worth hidden behind a mask and claws . Few superhero lines have captured vengeance, gender politics, and liberation quite as sharply as this
Before joining the MCU timeline as Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds starred in Green Lantern – a film that became a textbook example of superhero misfires. With a $200 million budget and one of DC’s most iconic characters, expectations were sky-high. Unfortunately, weak writing, inconsistent tone, and overreliance on CGI doomed it from the st
Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau recently got an "Atta Boy!" from George Lucas. Lucas handpicked Favreau to interview him next weekend at the Four Seasons hotel in Chicago. Favreau will also present Lucas with the Gene Siskel Film Center Visionary Award for Innovation in Filmmaking (...for making one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies of all ti
Iron Man 2 villain Mickey Rourke recently opened up a bit about what we can expect from his character, Whiplash. After some unofficial concept art of the Whiplash armor surfaced online recently, Iron Man 2 fans have been keeping web pages on constant refresh, hoping to get an official glimpse of Rourke-in-armor. Well, Mickey didn't exactly provide a snapshot of his costume, but he did recently talk to Empire about what it's like wearing the Whiplash s
Frankly, of what little we saw, the show looks pretty excellent. The sense of humor and writing are top-notch, the cast and the acting are excellent, the characters and stories utilized looked good enough, and the visual quality of the show was a least two or three steps above Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 abilities|https://spiderman2mix.com/ Earth’s Mightiest Hero
After Avengers recruit Jean Grey is bitten by Daredevil, Captain America carries her to Otto Octavius' research station, where Doctor Octopus reveals Jean may quickly transform into the most powerful zombie. Instead of helping Jean fight the disease, which is technically impossible, Doc Ock plans to incinerate her. Turns out, **Doc Ock has been working on a cremation chamber powered by Battleworld's alien technology, which he describes as "the power of the sun... in the palms of our hands.
Also on ABC Family will be Mockingbird , a story about Bobbi Morse – Hawkeye eventually married her in the comics – a freshmen in college (perhaps Stanford in California) who gets contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and becomes a secret agent. Basically, the thrust of the show is, "College student by day, secret agent by night," and according to Jeph Loeb, it’ll be like J.J. Abrams’ Felicity meets J.J. Abrams’ Alias . That's a lot of J.J. Abrams going on th

Next up in the "Live Action-in-Development" portion of the panel was ABC’s The Hulk . Jeph Loeb revealed very little about that TV show, which is going to be produced by Guillermo del Toro, except t
