From the very beginning, Zack Snyder has been a huge creative influence in the formation of the DC Extended Universe. He has directed Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and this fall’s Justice League. He has also been a producer on the other DC movies, including this summer’s smash hit Wonder Woman. However, it looks like Snyder’s role in the mega-franchise is decreasing. According to Mashable, Zack and his wife, Deborah, will have “significantly” smaller roles in the DCEU going forward. They’ll still receive credit as director and producer, respectively, for Justice League – which they left during post-production earlier this year, following a devastating family tragedy –…

Recently, Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo said that the movie would probably have a runtime of at least two and a half hours, making it the longest running Marvel film to date. On the flip side, it looks like we can expect this fall’s Thor: Ragnarok to be the shortest. Speaking with Collider, director Taika Waititi says that the current cut for Thor: Ragnarok is only 100 minutes, or 1 hour and 40 minutes. “The cut right now, I reckon it’s about 100 minutes. It’s not gonna be a very, very long film. I think that stories are better when you leave them wanting more, and this film moves…

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…

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. But the day before that, a rumor claimed that Ben Affleck would stop playing Batman soon, and WB was exploring options to explain it in a movie. Affleck made it clear at the SDCC panel that he was very enthusiastic about playing Batman, and in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he elaborates. Affleck reaffirms that his Batman status hasn’t changed. He’s starred in two DC movies so far – not counting his “walk-on” in Suicide Squad – and he intends to do a third…

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…
