Due to there being so many rumors about the upcoming slate of comic book movies, I thought a little cheat sheet on the site might be a good idea. I'll update and keep track of all the dates and details for each upcoming movie on both Marvel and DC's side of things.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
WhedonCon 2017!
The Great Divide
Too many people let a simple thing like Company Brand dictate what they enjoy. As I sit here and write this, there’s two Marvel films in theaters. Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man are in a theater somewhere in this country. ANT-MAN has been made into a movie. Never in my wildest youth imagination would I have predicted that there would be a film based on the comic book character Ant-Man. Yes, I’m astonished, and I’m elated! I was NEVER a fan of Ant-Man in the comics. Hell, I was never a fan of Iron Man or Captain America either, and yet I’ve enjoyed both of their films and now have a greater enjoyment for their characters in the books. But I grew up loving X-Men…and Batman! Gasp! ‘He’s with that other company, not with the wonderful Marvel, how dare you sir!’ I know, it’s crazy. I love both companies' characters and stories. And my question I pose today…why don’t you?
New Ant-Man Viral Promo!
In the world of Twitter and YouTube and the internets in general, there's so many ways to advertise and promote projects. We've seen a lot of online viral marketing the past, the coolest in my opinion was the promotion for Cloverfield that turned into a puzzle game spanning the world wide webs. Now Marvel is jumping into the fray with this promo video for a news show...
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Brings The Fight!
In an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that acts as a direct lead in to Avengers: Age of Ultron, we got to witness possibly one of the best fight scenes on television. Arrow and Daredevil are known now for their stunt prowess, and not many people are expecting much from that Marvel TV show over on ABC. But check out this nugget:
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Spin-Off Series Update!
We found out recently that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would possibly be getting its only spin-off series, but we were left in the dark as to who it would star and on what the story could possibly be focused. Today The Hollywood Reporter has shed a little light as to who might at least be in the cast. Current AoS stars Adrianne Palicki (Bobbie Morse/Mockingbird) and Nick Blood (Lance Hunter) are being reported as possibly the two leads.
Director Leaves Wonder Woman
There was great excitement when DC Comics and Warner Bros. announced that Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones) would be directing the first official live action Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot and Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is to be DC's first female led film and is a very important film in the DC Universe. Unfortunately, however, they will have to find a new director for the film. MacLaren has left the film, according to a statement from the studio.
The Avengers Line-Up Is Changing Post 'Age of Ultron'
So you've seen the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron right? Pretty dramatic stuff going on and such. It seems like its possible we could lose a few of our favorite Mighty Heroes before its all said and done in the battle against Ultron. If you were thinking this...you MIGHT be right. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige spoke with Buzzfeed about the upcoming Superhero Epic and had this to say about the Avengers roster...

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Synopsis Revealed!
Something official from Disney has been released regarding the highly anticipated sequel to the 'Avengers' which was a record breaking hit. 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is still a few months from being released, and we haven't seen a trailer yet (Unless you were at SDCC this year) but finally an official synopsis was released earlier today.

First Photos of Avengers: Age of Ultron
Entertainment Weekly has provided us with a first look at Avengers: Age of Ultron which hits theaters May 1st, 2015. The cover of EW gives us a good look at Ultron for the first time. In the article itself EW reports Tony Stark will be the one to build Ultron in an effort to save the world and give the Avengers some time off but as they always seem to do with best laid intentions, things go horribly wrong.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Set Photos
Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for release on May 1st 2015 but filming has already started. A few photos have leaked to the web, among them the debut of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Feast your eyes and salivate...also do I see perhaps Ultron amongst the action? Its still very early but it looks like he'll be both CGI and practical effects much in the manner of Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit.
Seventeen Years of Buffy
First there was a movie. It wasn’t great, but it was memorable. I saw the movie on VHS for the first time and thought…meh. It didn’t blow me away, but the reason it was memorable was because of the title. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was intriguing and different. I can’t say I remember the advertising for the film and it wasn’t something I was looking forward to seeing, but I loved the horror and vampire genre so I wanted to see it. It starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, David Arquette, Rutger Hauer and in an un-credited role even Ben Affleck. It didn’t do great and after it was made into a show we found out it wasn’t made with Joss Whedon’s vision in mind. That was the summer of 1992.
