DC Comics have made quite a bit of interesting moves as of late. They recently gave Batman a gender change, but the latest move of interest is with Joker and Harley Quinn. Writer and Artist Sean Gordon Murphy, who’s been working on Batman: White Knight, uploaded a pretty interesting photo of the two characters in a very sexually intimate position – though it’s not clear if it was before or after they had sex. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaMyrEQBACS/ Back in August, DC Entertainment found themselves at the center of controversy (who isn’t these days?) when they featured Dick Grayson (Nightwing) and Harley Quinn…

You might think that everyone is a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, at this point. The films have grossed a ton of money and earned universal praise from critics and fans alike, but some filmmakers aren’t fans. David Fincher is one of them. Most recently, the Fight Club and Se7en director had some interesting comments about the approach of Marvel Studios (via Yellow King Film Boy): “Look, there’s a very large talent pool of people who are- don’t feel there’s much for them in terms of sustenance working for Marvel. And I think that if we can make a playground for…

Comic Book super fan and filmmaker Kevin Smith is no stranger to giving his strong opinions on comic book related things – including Batman. This latest thing, happens to be the recently announced strategy of The DCEU (or DC films). Back in September, DC Entertainment announced that while some films will still be connected, others won’t be. As Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns put it: “Some of the movies do connect the characters together, like Justice League. But, like with Aquaman our goal is not to connect Aquaman to every movie.” Kevin Smith recently had an interesting chat with Screen…

A new Black Panther trailer has been released courtesy of Marvel Studios – and it’s great! We were given a teaser trailer back in July, but this one has much more footage than that one. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will definitely be more excited after they watch it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjDjIWPwcPU&feature=youtu.be Kevin Feige was recently quoted as saying the upcoming Marvel releases will be different: “All of the next films by design have been built to be very different, to be very unique. Ragnarok, Black Panther, certainly as we get into Infinity War and even Ant-Man and the Wasp, which is nearing the end of…

By now, it’s hard to imagine Marvel’s Ant-Man having a drastically different look. Paul Rudd’s performance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been praised by fans, and the 2015 debut movie for the character was a Box Office hit. With the character getting a somewhat different suit for for Ant-Man and The Wasp, as well as the upcoming Avengers movie, we thought it would be interesting to show what the character could have looked like, based on concept art from Andy Park: It’s definitely different, and probably would have changed the film. Kevin Feige has said the next four Marvel…

Last night’s Saturday Night Live featured an interesting parody of this year’s IT movie. It compared Kellyanne Conway to Pennywise the Clown, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper to Georgie. While the episode itself wasn’t very notable (when was the last time SNL was?), what was notable was how easy they took it on Harvey Weinstein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlt3rA-oDao While they did finally tackle the Weinstein scandal, creator of SNL Lorne Michaels had previously said the reason they stayed away to it prior was because: “It’s a New York thing.” That’s an interesting quote for quite a few reasons, but we’ll let you find…

Back in July, the Avengers: Infinity War trailer leaked, though it wasn’t great quality. Marvel was quick to take down the trailer, but that wasn’t before fans took screenshots. Lots and lots of screenshots… One particular screenshot, that we actually posted back in July (but has since resurfaced elsewhere), features Chris Evans’ Captain America sporting a drastically different look! It’s already been revealed that other characters will be sporting some pretty different looks as well. Black Widow and Thor – as well as Hawkeye, all have had their looks revealed via set pictures and promotional stuff. Before this major Marvel…

The first trailer for the upcoming X-Men spin-off movie, The New Mutants has arrived and it’s definitely a little darker than people were probably expecting it to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu9e410C__I Back in May, director Josh Boone said they were going for a full fledged horror movie: “We are making a full-fledged horror movie set within the X-Men universe. There are no costumes. There are no supervillains. We’re trying to do something very, very different.” He also added: “…a darker and more surreal and impressionistic X-Men series than we’d ever seen before. It felt like Stephen King meets John Hughes. We made…

Last month, Bill Skarsgård spoke about a disturbing scene that was cut from IT which featured more backstory on Pennywise the Clown. It was set in the 1600’s and Pennywise wasn’t actually the clown yet. Per the actor: “There was a scene we shot that was a flashback from the 1600s, before Pennywise [was Pennywise]. The scene turned out really, really disturbing. And I’m not the clown. I look more like myself. It’s very disturbing, and sort of a backstory for what It is, or where Pennywise came from. That might be something worth exploring in the second one. The idea…

After years of waiting, Marvel fans are finally (presumably) going to get the Gambit movie from FOX with Channing Tatum. That’s right. The X-Men spin-off film that no one thought would ever happen – is probably, maybe, potentially going to possibly happen. Maybe. Deadline reports that the film will be released on February 14th, 2019. Just last August, Tatum said they had started over with the script: “We lit a fuse on the first one and just blew it completely out of the water. I think we got lucky – we got hit with some setbacks and it was all…
