The film will include Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Dave Bautista (Drax), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Pratt (Star Lord), Chris Evans (Captain America), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Paul Bettany (Vision), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (The Winter Soldier), Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and plenty more.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time.

February 5, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marvel/Disney decided that for its Avengers: Infinity War​ Super Bowl spot, all it needed to do was show just how many heroes its bringing together for the movie.

March 28, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The whole idea of Spider-man joining Marvel’s superhero universe has certainly been intriguing. It was a success with Captain America: Civil War, but now Sony is returning with its own Spidey movie starring Tom Holland, Homecoming.

Robert Downey Jr. & Richard Linklater Team For Real-Life Con Man Tale

February 15, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard Linklater went from the Oscar-winning triumph of Boyhood to a ho-hum reception for Everybody Wants Some!!, his spiritual successor to his breakthrough Dazed & Confused. Now he’s putting together something rather different to both those movies, as it’s been announced he’s teaming with Robert Downey Jr. for a real-life con man tale.

The movie will be based around an episode of the Reply All podcast titled ‘Man of the People’, which ‘tells the true story of charlatan Dr. John Brinkley who scams his way to fame and fortune using fake medicine, populism, and the newest technology of the time: radio. As Brinkley’s fame grows, he gets the attention of Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the AMA who begins a decade long quest to take him down. REPLY ALL, a show that features stories about how people shape technology, and how technology shapes people, aired “Man of the People” on January 19, 2017.’

It sounds like a good fit for the duo, with Downey Jr. set to play Brinkley, while his nemesis is yet to be cast. Megan Ellison‘s Annapurna Pictures is producing the movie, which as-yet doesn’t have a title.

December 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s here – the first trailer for Spider-man: Homecoming. It has to be said it’s pretty cool, with some great action, a menacing Michael Keaton as the Vulture, and Robert Downey Jr. showing up as Tony Stark to give the young Peter Parker a bit of advice.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming.  Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.).

Robert Downey Jr. To Appear In Spider-man: Homecoming

April 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-downey-jrA couple of weeks ago Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige suggested that the deal between Marvel and Sony didn’t just mean Spidey would appear in Captain America: Civil War, but that some of the Marvel characters could make a trip to a standalone Spider-man movie. Now we know at least one person who’ll do that – Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark.

It’s a far cry from when Downey Jr. suggested he might hang up his Iron Man suit after the second Avengers movie, only to sign on for two more Avengers flicks and then Civil War. Now he’s extending things even further with an appearance in Spider-man: Homecoming, according to Variety.

What’s not known though is how big a role it will be. However with reports saying Downey Jr. has great chemistry with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Civil War it certainly makes sense to bring them back together.

Jon Watts is due to direct Spider-man: Homecoming, which is due out July 2017.
