Brian Michael Bendis to Write Tim Miller's KITTY PRYDE Movie
Last month, it was reported that Deadpool director Tim Miller is returning to the X-Men universe with a new film starring Kitty Pryde. Now, the movie has a screenwriter, and he’s no stranger to the Marvel Universe.

REVIEW: Captain America: Civil War
Captain America: Civil War (2016) Written By: Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely Directed By: Anthony and Joe Russo Let’s start with a question: How do you follow a movie that was both satisfying and successful? Plenty of directors or studios have had to ask themselves this over the years. Even the Russos themselves when they made Captain America: Winter Soldier. (For the record, the best Marvel Studios movie. Period. There hasn’t been a movie in the MCU that handled source material, the constraints of the ongoing storyline and character development as well as that movie.) So how do you tackle that challenge? Do you try to bring things to a…

JUSTICE LEAGUE Deleted Scene Features Superman’s Black Suit
It’s no secret that Warner Bros. heavily edited Justice League, leading to many scenes ending up on the cutting room floor. Only about two minutes of deleted footage is actually making it onto the home video release, while there seem to be no plans to put out a (non-existent?) Zack Snyder cut. Today, a portion of the deleted scene was released online, and it features one thing fans wanted in the original cut. Entertainment Weekly has released the deleted scene, and it features Superman inside the Kryptonian ship to get his suit. In the background, we see Kal-El’s black suit, though he doesn’t actually put it on. This Easter egg…
