About a week or so ago, Karl Urban tweeted that he’d definitely be down to do a Dredd series for Amazon or Netflix. The response has been massive, which should tell you just how much of a following the cult film has built since its initial release back in 2012. Well, apparently, at the Calgary Expo this past weekend, Karl Urban said that “conversations are happening” regarding a potential series for the character: On @netflix or @amazon Dredd series @KarlUrban says “conversations are happening” @Calgaryexpo #CalgaryExpo — Christopher Edwards (@cjsedwards) April 30, 2016 The petition for a Dredd series has…

Every once in a while, there is news that comes along that everyone is excited about. This – this is one of those days. Netflix has officially agreed to order a series for The Punisher, after the great reception the character received for Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil. I’d also like to point out that we initially covered this before everyone else. Here’s what Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb had to say: “We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’” said Executive Producer/Head of…

This past week, Karl Urban said that he’d do a Dredd series for Netflix or Amazon. The response to his remarks have been overwhelmingly positive (as it has been for the past 4 f*cking years!) and it’s gotten everyone wanting a series. Literally EVERYONE. My cat even mentioned that she’d like to see Urban reprise his role as the Judge. After the huge success of Marvel’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones and even The Punisher’s appearance in Daredevil –  it’s been proven that there is an audience for adult comic book characters, so I can see why fans want this now more than…

Fans have been asking for a continuation of 2012’s Dredd ever since it’s home video release after it’s initial disastrous theatrical run. People still felt the stigma of the Sylvester Stallone film and just figured this new Karl Urban version would suck. They figured wrong, and have been clamoring for more ever since. In a recent tweet, Karl Urban had this to say about the possibility of doing a Dredd series: Dredd 2 : I’d do it !! @netflix or @Amazon . There’s a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories ! https://t.co/5KeUAizPNS — Karl Urban (@KarlUrban) April 21,…

The upcoming take on Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas will have a new voice behind the iconic character (obviously). This time, Benedict Cumberbatch will be the one to portray the character. Here’s what Chris Meledandri, CEO of Illumination Entertainment had to say about the casting decision: “Choosing the actor to voice The Grinch, we were determined to make a choice that would not only define this version of The Grinch as absolutely singular, but most importantly, we were looking for a voice to express comedic wickedness while embodying vulnerability,” Meledandri said. “It is that vulnerability that allows us…

At the Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon this evening, CEO Kevin Tsujihara gave a run down of the upcoming movies from the studio. After stating that they have at least 10 DC Comics movies coming in the next five years, he finally gave confirmation about something fans have been asking for for some time now – and it involves Batman: “We’re working with Ben Affleck on a standalone Batman movie,” the CEO announced. Not much else is known at this time, but once information becomes available, we’ll be sure to let you know. We last saw Ben Affleck’s Batman in Batman v Superman:…

While everyone is currently thinking about Captain America: Civil War, another thing that has been discussed as of late is who exactly will appear in Avengers: Infinity War. The Russo Brothers have stated that 68 characters will be appearing in the film but haven’t really said who (outside of the major ones of course). In a recent sit down with ComicBook.com, here’s what they had to say about certain characters: “The movies are intended to be a culmination of everything that’s happened before in the MCU so you don’t want to get into spoilers but I’m a big fan of…

Before the steel-skinned X-Men made his memorable debut in 2016’s Deadpool, Colossus nearly looked very different — complete with a hood and robe that wouldn’t be out of place in a galaxy far, far away. While Joshua James Shaw handled the concept art for Deadpool himself and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, artist Alexander Lozano was brought in to reimagine Colossus for his updated appearance in the R-rated hit. Though Colossus had already been seen in previous X-Men films, the creative team opted for a complete redesign — one that went through several surprising stages before landing on the now-iconic final look.…

As early fan reactions begin to surface online, new details are emerging about Tom Holland’s debut as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Marvel’s highly anticipated Captain America: Civil War. One of the biggest questions surrounding his appearance has been the extent of his role—would he be a major player or simply a glorified cameo? Thanks to social media buzz, particularly from early screenings, we now have a clearer idea of how much time Holland’s Spider-Man actually spends on screen. According to several sources, including a tweet from journalist Mike Sampson, Spider-Man is reportedly featured in the film for around 30 minutes. That…

In a bit of strange news, the next Suicide Squad trailer is going to be featured before a very unlikely film – none other than Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. Apparently, the next trailer will be in front of Civil War, potentially showcasing more footage that may support the Batman scenes and “rumored” to add another well-known track in the form of “Ballroom Blitz” by Sweet. You can hear the original source from 15:03- 15:54 on the latest episode below: The synopsis for Captain America: Civil War: Political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the…
