AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Will Probably Be Marvel's Longest Running Movie to Date
Marvel Studios recently showcased footage from the highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War at both D23 Expo and San Diego Comic-Con. While we wait for Marvel to officially release some footage (which will likely be a few months), we have an idea of what the film’s runtime will be. Speaking with Collider, co-director Joe Russo says that, while a final runtime has yet to be determined, Infinity War will probably be at least two and a half hours long. “The current cut is over two and a half [hours]… Most of it’s a movie you could show, but there’s still a lot of work left to be done, I still have a couple of scenes that we…

Ben Affleck Denies Plans to Leave Batman Role; “I’d Love to Do it for As Long as They’ll Have Me”
Warner Bros. brought down the house at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday, where the studio teased future DC films and offered an extended look at Justice League.

CAPTAIN MARVEL To Be Set In The 90's, Skrulls Confirmed!
During Marvel’s Comic-Con panel, they made a huge announcement! We now know more details on Marvel’s female lead film, Captain Marvel. We learned that the film will take place in the early 90’s, and will be the first Marvel film set in the past since Captain America: The First Avenger. Which is kind of fitting, wouldn’t you say? The second bit of news was that Samuel Jackson will return as Nick Fury. This wasn’t necessarily new, but with the film taking place in the 90’s, Fury will not be sporting his iconic eyepatch. This means what caused the damage to Fury’s eye doesn’t happen until later on. Maybe we’ll see it…
