Movie News Bits: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, X-FORCE, THE BATMAN, ATOMIC BLONDE 2, ANT-MAN AND THE WASP
Welcome to our latest installment of Movie News Bits. Today, we have some new details on Marvel Studios’ next two films, why Jeff Wadlow’s X-Force didn’t happen, and confirmation of an Atomic Blonde sequel. Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal addresses those Batman rumors. Literally every single Marvel Studios movie so far has been rated PG-13, and Avengers: Infinity War is no exception. The MPAA (via BoxOfficeMojo) gave its rating for “intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, language and some crude references.” Sci-fi violence and language are in these movies non-stop, so that’s not surprising. Crude references? Hmm…maybe a middle finger or something? Avengers: Infinity War is set to hit theaters…

Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
This review is part of our 20 Days of Infinity War. Click here for more WOBAM awesome. – No franchise film has ever reset the board quite like The Winter Soldier. In little more than two hours time, Bucky was back, SHEILD was obliterated, Fury was on the run, Steve’s loyalty was questioned, Natasha’s ledger was made bare, and people we trusted were proven the enemy. It was an exciting time to be a Marvel fan, and an even more exciting time to be a movie fan. Joe & Anthony Russo came virtually out of nowhere, and most viewers had no expectations for the directors of Arrested Development. But deliver they did.…

AQUAMAN Casts Randall Park During Reshoots
DC Films’ Aquaman wrapped production last year, but the movie is currently in the final stages of reshoots. During these reshoots, it turns out that a new character has been added to the cast. Director James Wan announced on Twitter that actor Randall Park has joined Aquaman as Dr. Shin. In the comics, Dr. Stephen Shin is a scientist who is very knowledgeable of Atlantis, and he helps young Arthur Curry to develop his powers. He later betrays Arthur while trying to find the location of Atlantis. It’s unknown exactly how much of this will be adapted into the movie. So happy and fortunate to be finally working with this man,…

Netflix Renews JESSICA JONES for Season 3
Marvel premiered the second season of its acclaimed series Jessica Jones last month on Netflix. The show is arguably the most acclaimed Marvel/Netflix series yet. So, it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that season three is a go. Netflix has announced (via THR) that Jessica Jones has been renewed for a third season. No word yet on a release date or when the season will begin production. Currently, Marvel has yet to confirm its Netflix slate for 2019 (which is expected to include new seasons of Iron Fist and The Punisher), so that’s a possibility. This move further cements Marvel’s desire to expand its existing shows on Netflix, even with…

Review: IRON MAN 3
Arguably the most polarizing installment in the MCU up to this point, Iron Man 3 is Shane Black’s vision of a superhero movie. And the central reason it is so polarizing is because of that Mandarin twist that occurs during the halfway point of the movie. While some found that twist to be a genius subversion of expectations, others, especially comic readers looking forward to the Mandarin getting accurately portrayed on the big screen, hated that the Ben Kingsley villain wound up simply being a punchline. Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian is the real central villain of the picture. Where do I stand on this movie? Let’s find out. Cue the music. Iron…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Outpacing Marvel’s Last 7 Movies COMBINED in Advance Ticket Sales
Avengers: Infinity War has already been expected to be a massive hit. Ticket presales have been through the roof, trailer views have been incredible, and the film is already tracking for a $200 million+ opening. Now, the movie is setting a new record on advance ticket sales. Fandango has announced (via BoxOffice Pro) that Infinity War is easily on track to become its highest preseller in the superhero genre, more than doubling Black Panther. It’s also the biggest April preseller. But most importantly, it is outpacing the advance ticket sales for Marvel’s last seven movies *combined*. When you consider how big Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther were in…

Dwayne Johnson Says BLACK ADAM Movie Could Start Production Next Year
It’s been a while since we heard anything about DC’s Black Adam movie. Originally attached to play the character in Shazam! for nearly a decade, Dwayne Johnson will now headline his own film. Screenwriter Adam Sztykiel was hired to tackle the script last year, while a director hasn’t been brought on yet. However, we now have a hopeful update. Speaking with Yahoo!, Dwayne Johnson says that we could see Black Adam sooner than later. “The script came in, it’s great, we’re working on it. If things come together in the way we anticipate them coming together, that feels like a 2019 movie.” So, if the film starts production next year,…

Review: THE AVENGERS (2012)
The Avengers (2012) Written by: Joss Whedon Story by: Joss Whedon and Zak Penn Directed by: Joss Whedon So if you’ve been reading my reviews, and since I’ve seen the site stats I know you haven’t, you’d know I tend to open these movie reviews with a question. Usually a question about the nature of sequels and make no mistake, Avengers is a sequel. But this time I’m skipping the question. I’m not a fan of Joss Whedon. I think he’s a one trick pony; if you want a story where evil old men menace an overly-sexualized underage girl and everyone sounds like what a middle-aged man thinks…
