Deadpool is currently scoring big with both critics and at the box, with the film looking looking to take a whopping $130 Million this Valentine’s weekend. But it sounds like we could have gotten a very different film. We already learnt last week of two characters who were dropped from the script, but now in an interview with Cinemablend, Writer Rhett Reese has revealed another three characters who were going to be working for Ed Skrein’s villain, Ajax. He told the website: “We consolidated, in the first draft, Ajax has really three underlings. It was Wyre, it was Garrison Kane…

When questioned by a fan on Facebook in regards to Thanos’ role in the sequel, Gunn responded:  No. He’s not in the film. There’s no sadness. I chose the story to tell in Vol. 2 because it’s the story I wanted to tell! It just happens not to include Thanos. And I’ve answered honestly because I’ve answered it before. Even without Thanos there is still the matter of the Infinty Stones which still need to be introduced before the Mad Titan adds them to his cosmic jewellery in Avengers: Infinity War. Many fans assumed that we may see another stone…

With the film now less than two months away, Warner Brothers are starting to increase their marketing for the upcoming Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice with their third and presumably final trailer. The action packed trailer seems to focus heavily on Ben Affleck’s Batman, offering up plenty of new footage of the character in action including the money shot of the dark knight blocking Supermans blow, something which sends a look of shock to the kryptonian’s face. No new footage of Doomsaday or Aquaman unfortunately, implying that they are still looking to keep some things under wraps for the…

After 11 long years and one previous failed attempt, Deadpool has finally graced our screens – but is the film worth the wait? You bet your ass it is. From the moment the credits roll, it’s obvious that this isn’t going to be your usual Superhero movie. It’s hilarious, violent, rude, crude and with so much fourth wall breaking, I’m surprised the rest of the walls were left standing. Basically it’s everything you would expect a Deadpool film to be. One of the most important things to get right in a Deadpool film is the humour, something which writers Rhett…

Well that didn’t take long. Deadpool may not even be out but that hasn’t stopped Fox from already greenlighting the sequel, and it looks like the character won’t be alone. The news comes via The Hollywood Reporter, who reveal that while writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are already on board, Director Tim Miller has yet to sign on, although they do say that Fox are looking to keep the creative team together. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I suppose. At the same time, a report from ComicBook.com reveals that Deadpool’s longtime partner in crime Cable will be…

With the upcoming Deadpool film so close you can almost smell the chimichangas, it seems like we’ve heard from everybody except the main man himself. Luckily the Merc with a Mouth took time out of his busy schedule to lay down some knowledge. Speaking to Collider, Deadpool offered insight into such subjects as Selling out, Living in the shadow of Wolverine, what’s his ‘process’ when making a film and much more, all of which you can check out in the video below. It’s surprising that someone as egotistical as Wade Wilson would let Ryan Reynolds take the credit for the…

In a recent interview with Cinema Blend, the films screenwriters, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick discussed the films script and what was cut from the finished film. The first character they reveal was dropped from the film was Patch, the proprietor of the mercenary dive bar known as the ‘Hellhouse’ where he also dispatches contracts to the patrons. Wernick revealed that this character was eventually merged with that of T.J Miller’s Weasel. He explained: Weasel basically assumed Patch’s behind the bar job. A lot of it had to do with consolidating and budget and making sure that we focused on…

Well that was fast. Despite the big game having not actually started yet, we’ve already been treated to our first new trailer of the day, and it’s none other than the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. While unfortunately not giving us the glimpse of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man (which we are all so desperate for) we were treated to plenty of new footage from the Marvel blockbuster – including the big payoff of seeing both sides squaring off in what we can assume is the final showdown at the airport. Check it out below: We also have other quick glimpses…

While Marvel’s Daredevil was generally well received, there was one aspect that fans that were left disappointed with and that is the suit the character dons in the finale. Now thanks to some concept art, we can have a look at what could have been. The concept art, created by Josh Nizzi was uploaded to his official site and offers up two new looks at the Man without Fears attire. Interestingly the first piece actually looks a lot closer to characters comic book version. Check them out below: We’ll see whether the suit will receive an upgrade when the second…

It was rumored back in November that not only was Fox planning another X-Men film, but that Bryan Singer would also be back at the helm. That might not be the case. Earlier this week it was announced that the directors next film is an adaption of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which is being described as a ‘New franchise’ something which, depending on its success, could lead to Singer’s schedule becoming pretty full in the coming years – not leaving him much time for everybody’s favorite mutants. About the upcoming 20,000 Leagues franchise, Singer revealed: “I’m incredibly…
