Retrospective: IRON MAN – 10 Years Later
We never truly understood what a superhero movie could be until the first Iron Man film hit theaters in 2008. We had classic films like Superman: The Movie, Batman ’89, Spider-Man, and Batman Begins; but none ever attempted to do what Iron Man did. Iron Man dared to try something that has rarely been done. It gave us a flawed hero. In the films mentioned above the heroes face challenges, and at times things seem to look insurmountable. Aside from Batman Begins, most superhero films make sure our heroes are pure. Whether they’re saving cats from trees or damsels in distress, one thing is clear, they’re the good guys. In…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Tracking for Massive $200 Million+ Opening Weekend
Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is arguably the most anticipated comic book movie event in history. The film unites the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and more heroes in the ultimate battle to save Earth. So, it’s been expected that the movie will be a colossal hit for the studio. Sure enough, initial tracking suggests so. According to Deadline, early tracking says that Infinity War could open to more than $200 million domestically. This would easily give it the biggest April opening ever, and one of the biggest debuts in history. However, with tracking this early, it’s extremely likely that the film will end up having a…

DOCTOR STRANGE Writer Teases Sequel’s Villain and Baron Mordo’s Role
Despite the success of Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange, we’ve had very little news on a potential sequel. Director Scott Derrickson is reportedly attached to return, while the Sorcerer Supreme is playing a key role in Avengers: Infinity War this year.
