Chris Evans is currently busy shooting the third Captain America film, but managed to find the time to congratulate Holland on his new role:   Of course, Evans is a seasoned Marvel veteran, having starred in four films as Steve Rogers aka Captain America, and is in the midst of the fifth. Holland, who was recently announced as the newest Spiderman, is scheduled to appear in the film, as confirmed by Kevin Feige, though how much screen time the 19-year-old Brit will have remains to be seen. Holland was up against several other actors, including Asa Butterfield, Charlie…

In a sit down with CBS, Jon Bernthal didn’t say much about his upcoming role as The Punisher – but did want to let fans know that he’s going to give it everything he has: Bernthal is looking forward to being part of a TV series again.

With Phase 2 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe wrapping up, it’s normal to at least speculate what’s going to happen with some of the bigger characters. While talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin Feige said that all of the key characters are locked in at least as far as they have movies planned. Currently, that is through 2019. As they look to the future, Feige did have this to say: “But one day, it will be a combination. It will be a combination of choosing which characters to continue on with and explore and which to bring in, as we’re doing…

It’s no secret that Ben Affleck is the new Batman – whether you support that decision or not. So, obviously, it’s only a matter of time before we get new solo Batman films with Affleck under the cowl. When that time comes, who should direct these movies? Rumors are circling that Warner Bros. wants Batfleck to pull double duty and both star in and direct at least the first solo Batman film. This actually is pretty logical. Warner Bros. and Affleck have a pretty good relationship. They have let him direct some of their biggest films of late -…

As you might remember, Warner Bros. Pictures President Greg Silverman recently claimed that WB’s DC Comics films were director-driven – where as he considered Marvel movies were “studio-driven”. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has responded to those claims: “My response is: Look at the movies. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 are as Jon Favreau films as you can see. Kenneth Branagh has his stamp all over Thor. Captain America: First Avenger is very much a Joe Johnston film. The greatest example of that, look at Guardians of the Galaxy with James Gunn. And the one I always point out is Avengers. We knew the general structure when we sat down with Joss [Whedon]. But I don’t…

One of the more surprising moves that Marvel has announced was William Hurt reprising his role as General Ross from The Incredible Hulk. I’m sure you all remember that post credits scene also. Well, Hurt sat down with IGN to talk about how his role as General Ross will be different this time around: “I loved playing Ross the first time because I was able to try and create an ego as big as the monster he was chasing. And one that was as warped too,” Hurt told IGN while promoting his new show Humans. “It’s a more modernized style. And…

A report has come out from Latino Review that a possible merging of Fox’s comic book properties, X-Men and Fantastic Four, could happen in 2018. However – it appears that a lot of things have to go right before that will happen. The Fantastic Four reboot, helmed by Josh Trank will need to do well at the box office, and its planned sequel for 2017 will also need to make some money. But it’s not just on the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing’s broad and rocky shoulders that this potential shared universe rests. X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016 will have to produce the…
