Brian Michael Bendis. Steve McNiven. Iron Man.

3 superstar reason why you likely can’t refuse taking off with a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy series launching this week.

In last month’s prelude we learned the tragic past of Peter Quill. Bendis revealed on Marvel.com  how these sci-fi themed heroes will connect to teams on planet earth and the connection to the 2014 movie.

“This will be the most surprising chapter of Marvel NOW! This is a brand new #1 that starts these characters off in a place for new readers but doesn’t rob them of what made them great in the first place. It’s also a great place for you to hop on and see why we’re excited for these characters to be in a movie and why it’s as good a franchise as Marvel has.”

“This ties into a lot of things already happening in the Marvel Universe. The things that have happened on Earth in the past few events have had a butterfly effect Continue reading Marvel Wants YOU for Guardians of the Galaxy!

Marvel aims for the stars with Guardians of the Galaxy. Brian Michael Bendis and Steve McNiven launch a brand new Guardians of the Galaxy series this week.

Star-Lord, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Gamora will be joined Iron Man. Bendis tells Marvel.com he’s been digging into the book’s history as he makes the team accesible to old and new audiences.

“We were talking about the characters, what they want and their reliability. I dug up some of their origin stories, particularly Peter Quill’s origin story, which as I tweeted recently I had come across, and decided that it was, for my money, as good as Superman or Spider-man’s origin—it was just no one knew it! It was literally a two-page story in MARVEL PREMIERE about 34 years ago, and I just really really liked it. As the movie was getting closer, and more drafts were coming in, they called me and said “Listen, you were so excited during the Guardians movie calls, we need to get this book back in the public eye. We really want to make it more a part of the Marvel Universe.”

In The Avengers movie Earth now has its Mightiest Heroes but became a target Continue reading Guardians of the Galaxy Are Cosmic Avengers

Director Bryan Singer revealed Daniel Cudmore will return as Colossus in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The director also revealed Boo Boo Stewart and Fan BingBing have joined the cast via Twitter.

Cudmore played the X-Man who can transform his body into organic steel in X2: X-Men United and X3: The Last Stand. Cudmore played a role in The Twilight Saga. In the classic comic book storyline the film is based on Colossus married Kitty Pryde. In the films Kitty was part of a romantic triangle with Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Rogue (Anna Paquin.)

It was revealed earlier that BingBing will play Blink. No word on which character Stewart will play but when I saw his picture my brain jumped to (young Nightcrawler, the original Thunderbird- John Proudstar, or his brother Warparth – James Proudstar)

The director’s Tweet showed the cast list and mentioned the awards among the cast and ended with “now let’s blow —- up!”

Looks like we’ll see a famous Colossus/Wolverine fastball special in the next film!

I’ve often said Blink is the James Dean of X-Men. Clarice was immediately popular but was killed off Continue reading Blink in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
