Anti-Review: Captain America: Civil War
Secret Empire United We Stand Trailer
It's been building for some time now. Amidst the controversy that was the reveal of Steve Rogers (Captain America) being an agent of Hydra, the story began. Secret Empire is a story told across several Marvel titles but culminating in this new series. Here's a teaser trailer for the series along with some comments from writer Nick Spencer:
New 'Captain America: Civil War' Trailer Has Arrived!
Today is the day! We were promised a new trailer for Captain America: Civil War and we got it! It had everything! We got more of a perspective from Tony's side of the feud this time around and we saw just how War Machine ends up being beaten up pretty badly and cradled unconsciously by Iron Man. We were treated to much more Black Panther action and we also saw a VERY awesome sequence in which Ant-Man shrinks down and flies on one of Hawkeye's arrows. So fantastic! Oh...and Spider-Man finally debuted. Check it out!
'Captain America: Civil War' S.B 50 Spot
It's that time of year. While two teams decide which one is the best in the NFL during this year's Super Bowl, the nation watches and waits...for commercials. In the year of dozens of Geek related films, we all waited to see what new trailers we'd get for those films. First up was Marvel and their new teaser for Captain America: Civil War.
Review: Ant-Man
You've seen one Marvel film, you've seen them all...right? I've heard a LOT of negativity going into the production of Ant-Man. Fans of Edgar Wright will likely hate everything about the movie going in because he left the production and they're die hard Edgar Wright fans. Casual fans of the Marvel universe might not care about a movie called Ant-Man. Really? He has the powers of ants? He can control ants? He's the size of the ant? Yet, we're all amped up at the prospect of a movie called Spider-Man. Whether you are interested in this film or not, one thing you can say is that Marvel doesn't fail often with their films. I was heavily interested in this film, mostly due to Paul Rudd's involvement. I'm a big fan of Paul Rudd, since his Clueless days, so I was feeling pretty good about the entertainment value of this film, so let's dig in!
Marvel Studios Releases 'Civil War' Cast & Synopsis!
As production begins for Captain America: Civil War, Marvel Studios has released a statement announcing the cast and the premise for the upcoming film:
Robert Downey Jr. Set To Join 'Captain America 3'
Earlier today Marvel announced a large Civil War event to take place in the Marvel Comic Book Universe in 2015, now Variety is reporting that we'll see some Civil War action taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well. Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to join Chris Evans in 'Captain America 3' which will be directed by the Russo Brothers and is set for a May 6th 2016 release. The third film in the Cap series is set to follow 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (May 1st 2015) and 'Ant-Man' (July 17th 2015.)
Ongoing: Thor #1
A few months ago it was announced that Marvel would be replacing the Thor we've known for so long, with a new version...a new female version. This news caused waves in the fanboy comic loving world. We've seen changes to our favorite comic book characters before (see my story about the new Wally West). This change seemed to have come from nowhere, but it wasn't alone. We also found out that we'd be seeing a new Captain America soon in the form of Falcon taking over for Steve Rogers. Well, the time for change has come as Thor #1 has hit shelves this week.
