Marvel Reveals The Identity Of That Mysterious Lady In The Cave

If you're a Marvel geek, there's a very good chance that you recognize the image above. That's because it's a still from an Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer released back in January, and has been the subject of endless speculation for months now. After seeing the mysterious woman in the cave, many fans jumped to the conclusion that she is a character being kept hidden, and would only be revealed as significant within the context of the film. As it turns out, all of the guesses were 100 percent wrong, and the truth of the matter is that the mysterious figure ...

Why 2016 Could Be A Hot Mess For Movie Theaters

For good while, 2016 was looking to be a tremendous opportunity for the theater industry to grow. Coming off some optimistic stock reports at the end of March, the collective business was looking at next year as being full of surefire tentpole hits galore, rising concessions sales and experimental aesthetic viewing options. Yet, the latest forecast from Wall Street soothsayers seem to indicate that 2016 will be anything but superb. According to an analysis appearing in Deadline, the exhibition industry may want to lower expectations for 2016. If Eric Wold of investment firm, B. Riley & Co. is correct in his forecasting, then ...

Joss Whedon's First Cut Of Avengers: Age Of Ultron Was Way Longer

Joss Whedon's The Avengers: Age of Ultron is quite the large-scale blockbuster. Not only is the epic ensemble cast somehow even bigger than the one we saw in the feature's predecessor, but the movie also presents a globe-trotting adventure that sees the titular group of superheroes flying all over the world. As you might imagine, squeezing all of this into a reasonably long feature was quite the challenge, and, in fact, the original cut of the film was evidently nearly three-and-a-half hours long. With the Avengers: Age of Ultron domestic press day held in Los Angeles this past weekend, Vulture ...

Avengers 2: Watch Black Widow Show How To Turn The Hulk Into Bruce Banner

If you're looking for the best way to get Hulk to transform back into puny Bruce Banner, Black Widow has the answer. Take a look at how she accomplishes this pretty monumental task in a new clip for Avengers: Age of Ultron below: This scene looks like it takes place the aftermath of the film's opening battle between Earth's Mightiest Heroes and HYDRA. Hulk is tossing around some wreckage and is clearly still pissed off. Black Widow tells him in a soothing voice that the sun will be setting soon, and knowing not to get too close, she kneels down ...

Much Of Avengers 2 Was Conceived In One Epic Email Joss Whedon Wrote

We're only a few weeks away from the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, and not only is the movie projected to break box office records, but early buzz from press screenings is largely positive towards the film. As is the case with blockbusters, this film is the culmination of years of hard work both in front of the camera and behind-the-scenes. However, as far as the film's plot goes, much of what we'll see in the superhero blockbuster originated from one long email director Joss Whedon wrote years ago. Marvel producer Jeremy Latcham told IGN that when discussions first ...

Will Aaron Taylor-Johnson Be Back For Godzilla 2? Here's What He Says

Gareth Edward's Godzilla is a rare beast, in this way. It made a ton of money back in 2014, and earned near-universal critical praise. But since its release, almost everyone involved in it immediately moved on to other massive projects, leaving the future of the monster-movie franchise in an uncertain state. When I sat down with Godzilla star Aaron Taylor Johnson over the weekend on behalf of The Avengers: Age of Ultron (one example of the massive properties that have tied up Team Godzilla), I snuck in a question about the status of Godzilla 2, which right now carries a June 8, 2018 release ...

Why Marvel Pulled Captain Marvel Out Of Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Avengers: Age of Ultron has already begun screening for the press, and early buzz pegs this as Marvel&rsquo;s most ambitious yet thrilling effort yet. But the big question is whether or not we&rsquo;ll be getting our first look at the MCU&rsquo;s Captain Marvel. As rumor had it, Carol Danvers was originally part of the sequel&rsquo;s script, but after development went on she was cut out. Now, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has spoken up about the subject and the decision to not include her in Age of Ultron. &nbsp; In an interview ...

Yep, Paramount now seems OK with letting fans know that John Connor (played by Jason Clarke in this version of the Terminator timeline) will be the one causing all sorts of problems for his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), his best friend, Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) and, of course, the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who promised he'd ...

Why Adding Spider-Man Didn't Screw Up Marvel's Long-Term Plans

Exciting as it was when it was announced earlier this year that Spider-Man would be coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the reveal also resulted in a schedule disruption for four of Marvel Studios' upcoming projects. At the time, many wondered how this move wouldn't completely throw all if the company's plans out of whack – given that Marvel has become notorious for planning 10 steps ahead. Well, as it turns out, Spider-Man's inclusion to the MCU actually didn't really disrupt things all that much, and it's for a rather simple reason: all of the shifted projects are still so early in ...

Paul Bettany Almost Appeared On Camera In A Marvel Movie Way Sooner

To this point, Paul Bettany has had a rather small overall role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though he has been a part of the massive franchise since its beginning back in 2008, his part has long been limited to delivering exposition as the voice of Iron Man's digital butler, Jarvis. Of course, that will all be changing in Joss Whedon's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, as the British star will be taking on the role of the android Vision, but what you may not know is that Bettany actually almost had a live-action role in Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2.

How Marvel Decides What To Put Into Post-Credit Scenes

Since arriving on the Hollywood stage back in 2008, Marvel Studios has become known for creating two very different kinds of post-credits scenes. There are the more epic ones that tend to make big reveals and tease future movies; and then there are the ones that are made to be a bit more silly and just add to the fun charm of the Marvel brand. A result of these two disparate directions is that audiences never really know what they are going to get, but what may surprise you is that there is an on-going debate behind every Marvel film regarding ...

The Power Rangers Movie Has Finally Found A Director

The upcoming Power Rangers movie has been slowly moving forward since this time last year. After the announcement of the project's existence, it landed a pair of screenwriters, and Lionsgate has even carved out a release date. Only now, however, has the studio finally started zeroing in of the filmmaker who would be helming the film - and right now it looks like it will be Project Almanac director Dean Israelite. The Wrap was the first to report this news, saying that Israelite is in negotiations to sign on to what's expected to be a blockbuster for the summer 2016 season. ...

Weekend Box Office: Furious 7 Takes Second Victory Lap

The box office settled in for the April calm before the comes-a-little-earlier-every-year summer blockbuster storm. One new release made a quiet debut while last weekend's top gun held the number one spot. Furious 7 took a hard but not unexpected drop, slipping almost 60% from its franchise record high opening last weekend. Cruising easily past the $200 million mark, adding $60 million to its now $252 million domestic total, the movie surpassed Cinderella and Fifty Shades of Grey to be the current front runner for highest grossing movie of 2015.
