As we all know by now, Joss Whedon was brought on board for Justice League‘s post-production process earlier this year, writing new scenes that will be shot during additional photography. After director Zack Snyder left due to a family tragedy, Whedon was set to oversee the reshoots and editing process. Throughout the summer, there have been various reports about how extensive the reshoots are. Some say they’re minimal, while others say they’re drastically changing the movie. With that in mind, fans have wondered if Whedon would get any sort of official credit for his work. Turns out he is, but only as a writer. Via Batman-News, Warner Bros. has sent out…

[Warning: The Following Contains SPOILERS From The Defenders Finale.] Following her supporting role in Luke Cage, Simone Missick’s Misty Knight returned for this year’s crossover miniseries, The Defenders. During that show’s finale, Misty’s arm was sliced off by Bakuto, a member of The Hand. Misty is later admitted in to an “advanced” hospital owned by Danny Rand. Those who know Misty’s comic book history should have seen this coming, as the character is known for having a prosthetic bionic arm. So, it only makes sense to do the same for a live action adaptation. And now, we have a first look.Entertainment Weekly has released a first-look photo from Luke Cage…

Bleeding Cool has gotten notice that Marvel Comics has just registered a trademark for “Secret Wars”. Secret Wars was a limited series in the ’80’s titled Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars, which revolved around a Mattel toyline. It featured Marvel’s biggest heroes and villains squaring off on an alien planet created by other planets. Secret Wars was revived recently as a new comic book event that found a planet created by surviving realities, and heroes and villains from parallel universes battling one another. This registered trademark would be for something video game related, which could be anything from a complete Secret Wars game for consoles, to a game for mobile devices, to…

The mid-credits scene in 2015’s Ant-Man set the stage for Evangeline Lilly’s Hope van Dyne taking on the mantle of The Wasp, taking after her mother Janet. She will partner with Scott Lang in next year’s sequel, Ant-Man and The Wasp. Now, we have a first look image. On Twitter, Lilly shared a photo of her wearing the Wasp uniform, in celebration of what would have been Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday. This suit is a little different from what we saw in the first movie, as well as concept art for the sequel. Check it out below, and stay tuned for more as we have it. I am honoured to…

Following The Defenders, the next phase of Netflix’s Marvel shows will kick off with The Punisher. Spinning out of Daredevil‘s second season, the series will fully put Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle in the spotlight. However, that doesn’t mean he’ll be the only Marvel “hero” to appear. MCU Exchange was in attendance at this year’s Asia Pop Comic-Con, where Marvel presented footage from upcoming films and shows. The panel was hosted by C.B. Cebulksi, Marvel’s Senior Vice President of Creator and Content Development. During the panel, Cebulksi praised Marvel’s success on Netflix and commented on The Punisher, commenting that “…another Marvel hero may be showing up” in that series. Cebulksi’s offhanded comment doesn’t tell…

Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War is by far the studio’s biggest ensemble film yet, featuring countless heroes and other characters introduced in this film. Think of any character who’s still alive (unless you’re Nick Fury), and chances are, they’re in the movie. Now, we have confirmation for someone else. Letitia Wright, who plays Shuri in Black Panther, will reprise her role in Infinity War. IMDb originally reported the news. Typically, IMDb isn’t the most credible source for upcoming movie news, as anyone can go in and edit information. However, Wright confirmed her Infinity War role on Twitter. Blessings 🙏🏾💕 super excited to be apart of this. https://t.co/YXhApFndWV — Letitia Wright (@letitiawright)…

This week, it was reported that Warner Bros. is in the process of creating a new DC movie banner. This banner is designed to explore standalone stories that reimagine DC characters, and it is separate from the DC Extended Universe. Basically, this approach is similar to DC’s Elseworlds, an imprint that explores out-of-continuity stories. The film that will spearhead this banner is a Joker origin story, directed by Todd Phillips and produced by Martin Scorsese. The movie takes place in 1980s Gotham City, and it’s described as a gritty crime thriller. Of course, there’s plenty of potential for more Elseworld films. Under that imprint, DC Comics has published multiple storylines.…

Several months ago, it was announced that Suicide Squad director David Ayer will return for the spinoff film Gotham City Sirens, which sees Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn teaming up with other female DC villains. Since then, we’ve had very few updates on the project. More recently, there have been rumors of Ayer exiting the film and/or the film being cancelled, which reached a fever pitch this week. This week, it was reported that Warner Bros. is developing a Joker/Harley Quinn film, with duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa in final talks to write and direct. Some sites reported that this movie is replacing Gotham City Sirens, while others said that they’re…

For its next animated movie, DC is going the Elseworlds route with Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, an adaptation of the fan-favorite graphic novel. The story reimagines the world of Gotham in the 1890s steampunk era, pitting Batman against Jack the Ripper. Now, we have a first look at the movie. The following sneak peek is found in the Batman and Harley Quinn bonus features. In it, the creative team discusses how Gotham by Gaslight is different from any other Batman story, along with the challenges of bringing it to life. No word on the movie’s voice cast, but the actor playing Batman does sound like Bruce Greenwood, who played the…
