I’d love to see the absolutely badass Idris Elba play T’Challa in a Black Panther movie. Until then we can see the recent Golden Globe winner reprise his role as Heimdall in Thor 2.
Elba told MTV News on the red carpet for The Golden Globe Awards that he’s definitely in Thor 2 but not The Avengers.
Would you love to see Chris Hemsworth and Elba fighting Fafnir?
AMC announced the third season of The Walking Dead will be 16 episodes (Season 2 is 13 episodes) and split in half like this season according to Zap2It.
The news came at the Television Critics Winter Press tour where creator/Executive Producer Robert Kirkman dismissed rumors about the appearance of fan favorite character Michonne joining the second half of the current season.
Co-Executive Producer Gale Anne Hurd says 2 new writers will join the team and the writing for season three begins the next week.
Marvel revealed the cover to Avengers Versus X-Men #1 by Jim Cheung. This is the first issue of the 12 part event kicking off in April.
Very interesting to note that Wolverine and Beast are seen on the Avengers side. Logan and Scott split the X-Men during Schism but Wolverine is always the wild card. If one of his mutant students or Hope needs his protection due to the return of the Phoenix Force, Logan may switch sides.
Beast felt betrayed by Cyclops and left before Schism. But as the Dark Phoenix saga proved Hank would side with his fellow mutants if they need him.
Jim Cheung’s work is always stunning. Avengers: The Children’s Crusade is one of the most beautifully drawn books Marvel publishes.
DC Comics recruits a legend for the modern version of a classic concept. Nick Spencer and Wes Craig welcome Walter Simonson on board T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #3. Spencer talked exclusively with DC’s The Source.
“If it weren’t for Walter Simonson, I wouldn’t be writing (or maybe even still reading) comics — and that’s no overstatement,” Spencer told THE SOURCE. “He’s been my favorite creator pretty much the entirety of my life, so please believe me when I say working with him on T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS #3 was the biggest honor of my career so far.”
Since I enjoyed Spencer’s Ultimate Comics: X-Men, my comic book guy recommended T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and I’m so glad he did! A great book!
20th Century Fox is moving forward with a reboot of Marvel’s First Family. Variety reports that Josh Trank is the front runner to direct a next big screen appearance of The Fantastic Four.
Fox is reportedly waiting to see how Trank’s upcoming film Chronicle does at the box office before making an official offer. Michael Green of Green Lantern is penning the script. Chronicle follows the story of three high school friends who gain super powers.
Dark Horizons makes a great point that Fox had success with the X-Men: First Class reboot so there’s an opportunity to start over with this franchise. Here’s the Chronicle trailer to give you an idea of what might be…
All 6 actors who played James Bond will unite in the same place for a lavish party to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 007 film franchise. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
MGM calls this meeting the climax in a series of events celebrating the anniversary and the upcoming new film Skyfall. 007 leading ladies including Ursula Andress and Eva Green will join the party.
Daniel Craig said: “It’s an astonishing record for any character to endure for five decades in showbiz but I’ll bet this: the franchise is such a phenomenon that in another 50 years time a whole new bunch of actors and their leading ladies will be gathering for another party when James Bond becomes a centenarian.”
Daniel Craig was spotted shooting in London in Charing Cross Tube station for the next James Bond film. MI6 says the scene involves 007 chasing the main villain played by Javier Bardem.
