By now, it is all but confirmed that the events of Avengers: Infinity War will be undone in Avengers 4 through some manner. We’re not sure how, but day by day, we get more confirmation that certain characters are returning even though they met their dusty end at the end. The latest confirmation we have is for one of the newest members of the Avengers and also one of our favorite...
The burden of knowledge is a difficult one to bear. Director James Gunn, as the mind behind the Guardians of the Galaxy films and one of the creative leads on Marvel Studios’ exploration of the Marvel cosmos, knows a lot of stuff we won’t get to know for at least a year, and a few more after that. He’s willing to share it, though, and took to Twitter to answers some of the most...
What if I told you your best friend in the whole galaxy died three years ago? That’s exactly the fate of one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Groot is dead. This little tidbit slipped out when Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn was going back and forth with Entertainment Tonight producer Ash Crossan about a topic we’ve all been debating hotly...
For Guardians of the Galaxy, music is even more important than for other movies. The good news is that director James Gunn has that (mostly) locked down. Straight from Gunn himself, a previous report that he had narrowed the list to 181 songs was out of date: Actually this is from a long time ago. Almost all of the songs - at least 10 - are already chosen. https://t.co/K9ZzcIpQ5B—...
It doesn’t get much better than this: One of the Marvel Studios’ best films is now available on Blu-ray, and it comes with plenty of fantastic extras, including a gag reel, deleted scenes, and more. When I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in theaters, I was awed by the vibrance and variety of locations featured in the film. Somehow, the movie looks even better than it did in theaters...
People have been raving about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, praising the film for its laugh-out-loud humor and wonderful character development. Truth be told, I liked it more than the first film, mostly because it was nothing like the original at all. In Guardians 2, director James Gunn has made the Marvel Cinematic Universe's best and most emotionally powerful film yet. Not to...
Ever since Baby Groot was first shown to the public in the promotions leading up to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it has been pretty clear he would steal our hearts. Well, now he's not only stealing our hearts, but he is also going to steal a bit of our money thanks to the latest release from Hot Toys. Sculpted and painted by Viva Lai, the Baby Groot from Hot Toys will stand 26cm...
Hollywood produced some good—and not so good—comic movies last year. Among the standouts, Fox’s Deadpool charmed audience with its naughty humor and ultra-violence. We also saw Batman and Superman pummel each other before becoming besties. It was a lot like that scene from Step Brothers; “Did we just become best friends?” “Yup!” This year will feature a lot less superhero infighting....
People are already concerned we’ve reached peak superhero. But with every studio intent on creating a shared universe, the market is only going to get bigger. If you thought these past few years have been exhausting, you ain’t seen nothing yet. If you count Doctor Strange, Marvel alone has released 14 superhero movies in just eight years. No other studio has been that prolific—not even...
At Comic-Con this past weekend, Marvel brought Hall H to its feet with trailers, clips, and major casting announcements, all in a bid to tease fans with what’s to come during Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And while a lot of the news was exciting—Spider-Man will fight the Vulture, Doctor Strange got a trippy new trailer—I couldn’t help but fixate on the new movie logos the...
