DC has decided to keep their movies and TV shows separate from each other in different universes. All the movies from Man of Steel on, live in the same universe. That includes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the upcoming Suicide Squad. Arrow has built itself up quite the universe, with its spin-offs Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, and it has acquired other properties that have crossed over into this Arrowverse, such as Constantine and Supergirl. There is even an animated show, Vixen. Yet, there are DC shows, like Gotham, that exist in even yet another universe. DC’s multiverse…

Netflix CCO, Ted Sarandos, has promised us a new season of a Marvel show every six months. So far, we’ve had two seasons of Daredevil, and one of Jessica Jones. Later this year, we’ll have Luke Cage. And some time next year will be Iron Fist. It is reported that season two of Jessica Jones and The Defenders, a team-up of the aforementioned heroes, will film back to back. There is also rumors of more heroes being lined up for shows, like Moon Knight, and Punisher (hot off his appearance in season two of Daredevil). Though, while Daredevil has been…

Waves of information are coming to shore from the next Spider-Man flick, sub-titled Homecoming. With rumors of actors and characters, including those of Micheal Keaton and Vincent D’Onofrio, it looks like Marvel Studios will have another hit on their hands. But all this hub-bub, especially since we just got our first hint of the new guy, lets us forget that Sony still has other Spider-Man projects in development. There’s that solo Venom feature, not affiliated with the MCU. There will also be that theatrically released animated film. Heroic Hollywood tells us that there are two, rumored, working titles for the…

What? Steve Rogers is, and has always been a Hydra agent? I’m just as shocked as everyone else with this news. Everyone, including Steve Rogers himself: Chris Evans. Hydra?!?!? #sayitaintso — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) May 26, 2016 Therealstanlee.com says that, in the new title, Captain America: Steve Rogers, Cap turned on his sidekick, Jack Flag, throwing him out of a plane, right before hollering “Hail Hydra!” Furthermore, Rogers’s mother joined Hydra when he was little, influencing him from a young age. This almost sounds like Grant Ward’s arc in Agents of SHIELD. When he betrayed his teammates, it was revealed…

In a previous article, I mentioned my theory that Sony will reprise Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man in their solo Venom film, reported to be separate from the MCU. Some of you thought that was preposterous. Especially since Tom Holland did such a stellar job in Captain America: Civil War. But, what if? That’s right. Like the old Marvel title, “What If?” It invited readers to open up their minds, and imagine things like, “What if Jane Foster Had Found The Hammer Of Thor?” (Which she did just a few years ago, around the second Secret Wars, when the God[dess] of…

“I read a fantastic script that was action-packed and full of great characters,” Karl Urban told Scott Collura with IGN. He was talking about the script for Thor: Ragnarok. It has been announced that the Dredd actor will play bad guy, Skurge the Executioner. “When I heard who was involved — and the cast list dropped yesterday — and [saw] the opportunity to work with [director] Taika Waititi, who I think is one of the most brilliant directors coming through, I made the decision it was something that I wanted to be a part of. And the character is fantastic.…

Marvel announced their Phase 3 slate of films at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, back in October of 2014. They previewed a timeline with the movie logos. Captain America 3 had the subtitle, Serpent Society, as a joke, before eventually dropping the bomb that it would be an adaptation of Civil War. Kevin Feige and pals may have been joking about using the snake-themed baddies for a Captain America movie. But they’ll still be in the MCU, after all. The next Netflix/Marvel show will be Luke Cage. It has been reported that his main antagonist will be…

On May 18th, the Warner Brothers Studio Tour Hollywood Facebook page, posted a video of DC Universe: The Exhibit. One minute and thirty-three seconds in, tour guide, John Kourounis, says: “This was one of the big things from Batman v Superman, right across this way. The Jason Todd/Robin suit…….Spray painted on the front, ‘Ha-Ha. The joke’s on you Batman.’ Those of you that know the storyline, know what happened to this Robin.” Ever since the trailers featured the suit, with the signature graffiti, fans have speculated that the particular Robin was indeed Jason Todd.
