Are you feeling the power of the dark side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) takes you beyond on the big screen this Friday. Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna as Robbie Reyes) is blazing on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ghosts are hunting for the Darkhold – one of the most infamous supernatural artifacts in the Marvel Universe..
The dimensional doors to the supernatural realms are flying open as Marvel conjures new heroes and villains into the ever expanding film universe.
Doctor Strange features the Sorcerer Supreme, The Ancient One, Baron Mordo, Wong and potentially even more characters from the Master of the Mystic Arts mythos.
The Marvel Now is here. Two number one issue Avengers books arrive this new comic book day. Two very different titles for a very different reality in the Marvel Universe.
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes reassemble in the aftermath of Civil War II. We still have more chapters of the superhero showdown between Iron Man and Captain Marvel’s forces over the power of predictive justice but we’ve already seen some of the fallout.
It was just a year ago rookies (Ms. Marvel/Kamala, Nova/Sam, Spider-Man/Miles) joined legacy heroes (Captain America/Sam, Thor/Jane) for an All-New, All-Different Avengers.
Marvel will launch a brand new Weapon X #1 as part of X-Men ResurrXion in 2017. The Weapon X program and X-23 will be part of Wolverine’s next film Logan, also next year.
Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool and X-23 are some of the most famous and infamous former products of the Weapon X program which turned mutants into living weapons.
Here are some other deadly graduates of the program you may not know about and who could be resurrected for the next chapter in the notorious saga of Weapon X: Continue reading WEAPON X RESURRXION Killer Class
A surprise visit to an alien world on the set from Thor: Ragnarok may have fan speculation at light speed.
Director Taika Watiti, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson greeted fans via Marvel Studios Facebook Live for the final day of shooting.
The director showed how they created a “sci-fi space wasteland” and “scrapers” aka actors dressed in robes plus a variety of alien weaponry on set of the sequel on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Mark Ruffalo (as the Hulk) will appear in the third Thor solo film.
Jeff Goldblum is playing the Grandmaster, a cosmic villain who pit heroes against each other in “Contests of Champions” for his amusement. In the comics the Grandmaster and Collector (Benicio Del Toro from Guardians of the Galaxy) are Elders of the Universe.
This was our first look at Thompson (sporting white streaks of face paint) playing Valkyrie. Karl Urban is playing Skurge and Cate Blanchett is portraying Hela, Goddess of the Underworld.
But a moment on the Facebook live set tour could mean an all-new version of “Hulk SMASH puny God!”
New enemies strike, members of the Dark Knight’s family return and is the Batman Boot Camp breaking up?
In the aftermath of losing Tim Drake and “Strange” attacks in Night of the Monster Men, James Tynion IV launches his second arc of Detective Comics with thrills, mystery and feeling with the welcome return of a Gotham citizen who gave up the mask.
The Victim Syndicate begins with a fan-favorite couple reunited at the site of a horrible event with a haunting but familiar use of the Bat symbol and ends with evil party crashers.
Experience a mutant Spring reawakening in 2017. Marvel announced X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue, Jean Grey, Iceman, Weapon X, Cable, Generation X books as part of ResurrXion, a heroic new beginning in the aftermath of Inhumans of X-Men.
We don’t know the rosters or creative teams but with the theme of new beginnings and resurrection here are the X-Men we want to see rise from the grave and to greatness again. Continue reading X-MEN We Want Resurrected for RESURRXION
