Comic Review: VENOM: LETHAL PROTECTOR (1993)
While Venom started out as a villain to Spider-Man, that changed in 1993 with the release of his first solo comic. Venom: Lethal Protector sees Eddie Brock and the Symbiote leave New York to move to San Francisco, where they face a group of super-powered mercenaries. They wind up in the Life Foundation, where they and Spider-Man team up against five other Symbiotes: Scream, Riot, Phage, Lasher, and Agony. It has been said that the Venom movie takes influence from Lethal Protector, and right away, it’s easy to see how. From the Life Foundation’s role to the San Francisco setting to multiple Symbiotes, the two already have a lot in…

New SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE Trailer Brings Together the Spider-People
Sony is unleashing Venom in theaters this week, and this morning, we finally got some early social media reactions. Needless to say, the reactions haven’t been the most positive. So, coincidentally (?), Sony has dropped a new trailer for its other Spider-Man-inspired film of the year – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The new trailer is chock full of new footage from the animated movie, featuring Miles Morales being trained by Peter Parker. We also see Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man Noir, and even Spider-Ham. We’ll likely learn much more about the movie at New York Comic-Con this week, but for now, check out the trailer below. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is set to…

Opinion: 5 Comic Book Characters That Tom Hanks Can Play
Back in 2013, Tom Hanks said in an interview that he wants to get a role in a comic book movie. Five years later, and that has yet to happen. Because of this, I need to ask something. Why, and how? It’s not like Hanks is an unknown D-list actor coming out of nowhere. Because of this, an editorial has to be made to get the word out. Tom Hanks needs to be in a comic book movie. So, we have five ideas. 5. Batman/Thomas WayneWhen I first heard Hanks say that he wanted to play Batman, I first laughed a little considering it felt no way that would work,…

TITANS Will Stream Internationally on Netflix; New Trailer Released
When DC Universe first launched, fans were quick to point out that it is only available in the United States. So, how will international viewers be able to watch original shows like Titans? Well, we finally have an answer. Netflix has acquired the international distribution rights to Titans. The service will stream the series in countries outside of the United States and China (where Netflix is unavailable). It’s unclear if Netflix’s deal includes DC Universe’s other originals, but it wouldn’t be shocking. Additionally, Netflix has released a full international trailer for the series, showing plenty of new footage. The trailer emphasizes on the team coming together, along with its dark…

FEATURE: Five Characters We Want to See in VENOM 2
Sony has big franchise plans for Venom if it succeeds, hoping to expand the universe with sequels and spinoffs. While a sequel hasn’t been formally announced just yet, the film is expected to lay the groundwork for future installments. For example, Woody Harrelson says that he has a small role in Venom, but it sets up a bigger role in the sequel. So, assuming Venom gets a sequel, which characters will appear? Here, we list five characters that we’d like to see. We won’t be including Carnage, since he is rumored to be Harrelson’s character. Tombstone Lonnie Lincoln is a hitman and enforcer in New York, serving as one of Spider-Man’s…

STAR WARS: Kathleen Kennedy Extends Lucasfilm Contract for 3 More Years
When Disney acquired Lucasfilm back in 2012, Kathleen Kennedy was appointed as president, after spending a few months as co-chairman alongside George Lucas. Since then, Kennedy has steered the ship on the Star Wars franchise to massive success. While some fans have had concerns about Kennedy’s leadership – see Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s failure and the polarizing reception to The Last Jedi – she won’t be going anywhere in the foreseeable future. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Kennedy has renewed her contract at Lucasfilm. She will remain at the company for another three years, going through 2021. With Disney and Lucasfilm planning a slowdown of Star Wars movies, what will…

Fox Delays DARK PHOENIX Again, Sets DEADPOOL 2 PG-13 Cut for This Christmas
Despite releasing the long-awaited teaser trailer (touting its Valentines Day 2019 date) less than two days ago, 20th Century Fox has once again delayed the next X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix. The film will now hit theaters on June 7th, 2019. This puts it right in the heart of the summer, which – based on the competition – may not be the wisest bet. But, Fox is hoping that the move will lead to the film being a bigger hit in China. No exact reason was given for the delay beyond that, but the movie has been undergoing reshoots, which are said to be extensive. So, this gives them extra time…

WONDER WOMAN 1984 Rumor: Pedro Pascal is Playing….
Pedro Pascal is one of several exciting additions to the cast of DC’s Wonder Woman 1984, but his character has been under wraps from the beginning. We saw the one picture of him in the movie, but that’s about it. While we wait on official word, a new rumor (courtesy of our friends at SuperBroMovies) may finally give us the answer. Apparently, Pedro Pascal is playing none other than…… Maxwell Lord! Maxwell Lord is a prominent villain in DC Comics, but as usual, expect some differences for the movie. For example, he won’t have his psychic powers, while this version is said to be hammier and “more liberal.” One iconic…
