Kevin Feige Teases “Immediate” Potential for a NOVA Movie
Marvel Studios has already explored some parts of the MCU’s cosmic side, with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and the Thanos/Infinity Gauntlet storyline. However, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is expected to kick off an increased focus on cosmic properties. One character that fans have wanted to see was Nova. We’ve already met the Nova Corps in the first Guardians, but that’s it. So, will we ever get a movie? Speaking with ComicBook, Marvel’s Kevin Feige offers a promising answer when asked about Nova’s cinematic potential. “Nova is… if we have a big board with a bunch of characters that have more immediate potential, Nova is on that board.…

The first MCU movie to follow Marvel’s two-film Avengers finale will be the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming. Not much is known about the film, other than that it will begin the exploration of a different, post-Avengers 4 world. Now, we have some new details. Speaking with io9, Marvel’s Kevin Feige talks about the next Spider-Man movie, confirming that production starts in July. Additionally, Peter Parker won’t just be sticking around in New York this time. “We film in London. We shot [the] first film in Atlanta. And we shoot a lot of films in London but there’s another reason we’re shooting in London which is, yes, Spidey, of course, will…

Retrospective Review: Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange(2016) Directed By: Scott Derrickson Produced By: Kevin Feige Written By: Scott Derrickson, C.Robert Cargill, Jon Spaihts Hello again! I’m here to talk about Doctor Strange today as part of our 20 Days of Infinity War Series. Click here for more WOBAM awesome. I’d like to start off with two disclaimers. One, I’m a huge fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. I absolutely stole this review from John when we were given the schedule, but he knows why so THANKS JOHN. Two, I understand the casting of Tilda Swinton was controversial, but I won’t be addressing that matter. If you’ve read my reviews before, I’ve addressed the fact that I don’t have any background…

FEATURE: Five Villains We’d Love to See in Future AVENGERS Sequels
To date, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced many iconic villains from the comics, such as the Avengers saga. The first film pitted Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against Loki, the second film saw them fight Ultron, and the third and fourth films will see them defend Earth against Thanos. But what happens afterwards? Thanos is THE big bad of the MCU so far, meaning that the next main villain has a lot to live up to. Here, we list five villains that we’d love to see in Avengers 5 or another sequel. Norman Osborn Of course, Norman Osborn is best known for being Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis, the Green Goblin. But outside of Goblin, Norman has been…

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Outpacing Marvel’s Last 7 Movies COMBINED in Advance Ticket Sales
Avengers: Infinity War has already been expected to be a massive hit. Ticket presales have been through the roof, trailer views have been incredible, and the film is already tracking for a $200 million+ opening. Now, the movie is setting a new record on advance ticket sales. Fandango has announced (via BoxOffice Pro) that Infinity War is easily on track to become its highest preseller in the superhero genre, more than doubling Black Panther. It’s also the biggest April preseller. But most importantly, it is outpacing the advance ticket sales for Marvel’s last seven movies *combined*. When you consider how big Captain America: Civil War and Black Panther were in…

Review: THE AVENGERS (2012)
The Avengers (2012) Written by: Joss Whedon Story by: Joss Whedon and Zak Penn Directed by: Joss Whedon So if you’ve been reading my reviews, and since I’ve seen the site stats I know you haven’t, you’d know I tend to open these movie reviews with a question. Usually a question about the nature of sequels and make no mistake, Avengers is a sequel. But this time I’m skipping the question. I’m not a fan of Joss Whedon. I think he’s a one trick pony; if you want a story where evil old men menace an overly-sexualized underage girl and everyone sounds like what a middle-aged man thinks…

Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER
A superhero film set in during World War II, a hero with a big heart, and the drive to help anyone that he can. In a nutshell that’s what I love about Captain America: The First Avenger. I would stop there, but I can’t end this review in just 37 words. The First Avenger tells us the story of Steve Rodgers (Chris Evans), a man who wants to “help the little guy”. He tries to enlist in the Army and fight in the war, but he’s too frail, sickly, and weak to do anything. Luckily, he gets a chance; a chance at being the world’s first Super Soldier. He becomes…

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. Now, we have an idea of where the first film’s writer and director want to go. Appearing at a Doctor Strange screening in Austin, Texas (via MovieWeb), screenwriter C. Robert Cargill talks about his ideas for a sequel. He says that, if he and Derrickson make the sequel, they want to have Nightmare as the villain. In the comics, Nightmare is one of Doctor Strange’s biggest enemies, serving as the ruler of the…

BLACK PANTHER is King of the Box Office for Fifth Weekend in a Row
Black Panther has been out for over a month now, but the Marvel Studios blockbuster is still making an insane amount of money. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Black Panther retained the top spot yet again with an estimated $27 million. This beats competition from newcomers Tomb Raider ($23.5 million) and I Can Only Imagine ($17.1 million).

Black Panther is now at $605.4 million in North America and $1.182 billion worldwide. It is expected to pass The Avengers as the highest-grossing superhero…
