Quentin Tarantino almost jumped into the Marvel universe before an argument with his friends convinced him not to take the leap.  During an appearance on a recent episode of Amy Schumer‘s 3 Girls, 1 Keith podcast, Tarantino revealed that he was interested in creating a film adaptation of Marvel’s Luke Cage superhero. Tarantino is heavily influenced by blaxploitation films […]

Todd McFarlane undoubtedly wants to get a Spawn reboot onto the big screen, but not so much so that he’s willing to compromise on a set of demands he’s making if, say, a studio were equally as eager. Though this prospective movie was announced almost three years ago, and is looking more and more like […]

The release of the final trailer for Marvel’s Black Widow is…interesting. The way the world is going right now, it’s hard to get excited for anything that involves leaving the house. What is worth getting hype over, though, is all of that Taskmaster action we got to see in this final look at the Scarlett Johansson-led 24th […]

Back in 2013, Fantasy Island writer and director Jeff Wadlow was tasked with writing the script for an X-Force film trilogy. However, those plans fell by the wayside when Fox decided to release Deadpool instead. Seven years later, Wadlow is ready to share what he had planned for the trio of projects. In an interview with Comic […]

The first season of HBO’s Watchmen lived up to the hype created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ original comic. Normally, a show that wowed viewers this way would be a shoo-in for another season, but there are still questions marks surrounding the series’ return.  The season (or series) finale aired on Sunday, yet HBO hasn’t formally announced its renewal. This could […]

Today is the 66th birthday of Alan Moore. So what better way to celebrate than to unearth an interview from three years ago where Moore, the co-creator of Watchmen and writer behind Batman: The Killing Joke, criticized the public fascination with superheroes with such vitriol that it makes Martin Scorsese‘s remark about the Marvel movies not being “cinema” look light-hearted.  “I […]

Thor: Love and Thunder is set for a release date of November 5, 2021, and will reportedly start filming early next year, but it’s never too early to start speculating what Taika Waititi, the film’s writer and director, has planned for the plot.  There’s always the possibility that Waititi could adapt the comic book version that inspired Love […]

If your Vin Diesel impression is spot-on, Sony is looking for you. Diesel is set to star in Bloodshot, where he will play the titular comic book character. The character, brought back to life by scientists, is infused with nanotechnology and becomes a superhuman killing machine. Sony Pictures Releasing was reportedly looking for someone to […]

Martin Scorsese has tried—and, ultimately, failed—to find something to love about the glut of comic book blockbusters that typically dominate a theater schedule these days. In an interview with Empire, the critically adored Irishman director was specifically asked about Marvel, to which he argued that MCU entries should be considered something other than cinema. A […]

Not content to let a bit of a bummer week get in the way of some good business, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige took the stage at Disney’s biennial D23 expo this weekend to further outline plans for the MCU’s Phase 4 and beyond. While we were left to speculate just what they had left […]
