Last month, we posted what appeared to be an artist’s rendition of the new Spider-Man outfit for the upcoming Marvel/Sony reboot. Now, someone has posted an image on Reddit of what appears to be the new Spider-Man outfit – and it looks almost identical to the artist’s rendition: What do you guys think? Be sure to sound off below! [

With Suicide Squad in production and excitement continuing to build around Jared Leto’s take on the Joker, fans were sent into a frenzy this week thanks to a cryptic new photo the actor shared on Twitter. In the image, Leto is seen wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a haunting expression—one that immediately drew comparisons to a very specific and iconic Joker moment from DC Comics history. Longtime Batman fans were quick to notice that the hat closely resembles the one worn by the Clown Prince of Crime in Batman: The Killing Joke, Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s legendary graphic novel.…

Earlier we reported that FOX is considering moving a Deadpool sequel into the release date that currently has a Fantastic Four sequel in it. Now, there’s even more news regarding a Deadpool sequel – and who the studio wants to appear in it. Keep in mind these are rumors but we’ve heard something like this before: “They’re already kicking around ideas for the sequel. And there’s one that has stuck, and – while anything could change between now and whenever the sequel starts shooting – that idea is bringing in Cable.” You can read more of the report at Birth…

It’s CLOBERRIN’ time – well, for the Fantastic Four at the box office this weekend. The film was clobbered by Mission Impossible and only managed to gather $26.2 million at the domestic box office according to estimates from The Hollywood Reporter. Fox was tracking for about a $40-50 million dollar opening, so that’s well below the estimates from the studio. The film had a $120 million dollar budget, so the studio will be taking a pretty hefty loss here. Horrible reviews, drama between director Josh Trank and FOX were all to blame and the fact that the movie just didn’t…

Earlier we reported that Josh Trank’s behavior on the set of Fantastic Four was “destructive” and the reason that the reboot failed for the most part. Well, yet another source has come forward (in a day of endless Fantastic Four reports) and detailed Fox’s role in the the failure of the film: New sources on the situation continue to come forth, with some close to the movie arguing that whatever frustrations and conflicts Trank faced from the studio, they were normal parts of the development and production of a tentpole movie with a budget north of $100 million. Some theorize Trank…

A new report about trouble with Josh Trank and Fox states that Trank was “destructive” on the set. According to Entertainment Weekly’s sources, anyway, who said the following: Several high level sources close to Fantastic Four – spoken to independently of each other – have told EW the rift on set was not about creative differences but rather combative behavior Trank demonstrated toward the crew, producers, studio and even the stars. It’s partly linked to Trank’s personal disputes – involving accusations of deliberate damage done to the house he was renting – which sources say eventually manifested on set as hostility and frustration from Trank.  This could make…

After bombing at the box office yesterday, and presumably for the weekend – the Fantastic Four reboot could not have had a worse opening weekend. Well, now, FOX seems to want the fans input on which direction to take the franchise. According to The Nerdpocalypse, they’re actually asking fans at a screening: At the Fantastic Four screening and Fox is passing out a survey to decide what to do with the franchise…that’s not a good thing. — The Nerdpocalypse (@ThoseNerds) August 8, 2015 If they’re really doing that – do you think it’s a good idea or just an act…

During an episode of Collider Movie Talk, Jon Campea revealed that multiple sources informed him that Fox had agreed to let Josh Trank film his vision of the Fantastic Four. However, days before the film was to begin filming,  Fox took out several big set pieces. Apparently, Fox also took over the final act and removed Trank from the editing room entirely. Here’s what Campea said: “I’ve got a source, fairly close to the production of this film, who had told me that the movie that Josh Trank and Fox had agreed on making — included 3 really big action…

Filmmaker James Wan is reportedly in talks to produce a Mortal Kombat reboot for New Line, according to The Tracking Board. While the Mortal Kombat video game franchise has been a huge success, the movies are a different story. They were pretty tame in comparison to the game and the 1997 sequel (Annihilation)  to the ’95 original film is regarded as one of the worst video game movies of all time. There was also a web series that was recently made. Wan’s involvement should help get the Mortal Kombat reboot going, as he’s been pretty successful as of late with…

WB has moved the release dates of two films involving Ben Affleck. The Accountant, a film starring Affleck, has been pushed from January 29, 2016 to October 7, 2016. Live By Night, a film that he’s directing, has been pushed from October 7, 2016 to an undetermined 2017 date. This should all be taken as speculation but it definitely goes hand in hand with the rumors regarding a solo Batman film – and the news that came out today about WB wanting more Affleck Batman films. That would be a lot of Batman in the next few years if you…
