New Justice League Trailer – Heroes unite and we finally get a look at the villain

October 28, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although there hasn’t been as much hype for Justice League as we might have expected, the movie is still tracking for a $100+ million opening weekend in the US, when it arrives in cinemas on November 17th. Much of the marketing so far has concentrated on bringing together the heroes – Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash – without giving us much info on why they felt the need to get together.

Now a new, fairly short trailer has arrived, which gives us a little more and a look at the main bad guy, Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds). He’s an integalactic bad guy who brings his parademons to search Earth for something he wants, and he doesn’t mind if the planet is destroyed in the process.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.’

Justice League Trailer – Earth is under attack and needs some new heroes

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When DC announced its plans for a movie universe, the centrepiece was Justive League. However, with only Wonder Woman getting a decent critical reaction in the run-up to the superhero team-up, enthusiasm for the film has been somewhat dampened. That’s not been helped by the fact that a family situation cause director Zack Snyder to leave the film, with Joss Whedon stepping in to resoot a large chunk of the movie and finish it off.

Now we’re only a few weeks until the film is due to be released, and a new trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat.

Joss Whedon May Write & Direct A Batgirl Movie

March 31, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Making a big leap from the world of Marvel to DC, Joss Whedon is in talks to write and direct a movie based around Batgirl, according to Variety. Having directed the two Avengers movies, as well as helping to created Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Whedon has been instrumental in the success of Marvel’s cinematic universe.

Warner/DC will be hoping he can bring some of the same magic to their movies, which have struggled with critics and failed to ignite the type of fan fervour Marvel has managed.

There’s no info on what direction Whedon might want to take the character, or indeed when we might see the movie. However, it’s likely he will be working with the most iconic Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon, who secretly dons a costume to fight crime. She was first introduced in 1967 both in the comics in in the Batman TV series.

Whedon’s film is likely to involve other characters from the Gotham universe, and will also connect to other films in the DC universe.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (Cinema Review)

April 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Joss Whedon
Running Time: 141 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: April 23rd 2015

Marvel must have been licking their lips when some genius came up with the idea of throwing all of their superheroes into one film to fight against evil. However The Avengers was a gargantuan success, becoming the third highest grossing movie ever. Now comes the sequel, Age Of Ultron, which has a lot to live up to. The result is a series of brilliantly executed set pieces, but inevitably the characters get lost in the mayhem and some of the actors look like they’d rather be elsewhere.

The plot is a cut and paste job about the evil Ultron, who is fed up with humans ruining their planet, and reasons it’s best to wipe them out – after all they’ve had a fair go. It’s actually a pretty good argument, but we’re supposed to be on the side of the Avengers, who must protect Earth from the evil robot and his army of automatons. [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: The Stars Turn Out For The Avengers: Age Of Ultron World Premiere

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-premiere-slideThe stars of Marvel were out in force for the LA World Premiere of Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and as you’d expect the likes of Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner had their best threads on as they strutted down Hollywood Boulevard, and we’ve got the pics to prove it.

It was a bit of an early World Premiere as the film isn’t out in the US until May 1st, but the stars are off on a world tour to promote the film before its international release on April 23rd, and so the US premiere has already taken place.

As well as the stars mentioned above, Avengers actors such as Mark Ruffalo, James Spader, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany and Anthony Mackie were also on hand, as were stars from the wider Marvel world, such as Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Clark Gregg and Brett Dalton, and Ant-Man’s Paul Rudd.

Take a look at the action from the red carpet below. [Read more…]

Paul Bettany’s Vision Finally Gets An Avengers: Age Of Ultron Poster

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-vision-bannerSeveral weeks ago a slew of posters were released featuring the main characters from Avengers: Age Of Ultron, from Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver to Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. However one character was missing – Paul Bettany’s vision.

Marvel has now remedied that with a great poster featuring Paul Bettany’s slightly creepy-looking character in the movie.

Not too much is known about how the character plays into the film, although it is known Vision is creating the J.A.R.V.I.S. technology which Bettany has voiced in earlier Marvel movie. There will definitely be problems with that though, as the  Ultron also emerges when Tony Stark’s plans to use technology to create guardians who will protect the world when the superheroes aren’t available goes horribly wrong. It would seem reasonable to assume Ultron and Vision are two sides of the same idea.

Indeed recent reports suggest Vision is created when the robotic Ultron goes rogue and tries to destroy J.A.R.V.I.S., but accidentally gives birth to something unexpected.

James Spader, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Elizabeth Olsen Get Avengers: Age Of Ultron Posters

March 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-Quicksilver-triple-bannerIt’s a few days since we had our last batch of Avengers: Age Of Ultron character banners, but there are so many characters that we’ve still got a few to go, and this time it’s a bunch of newbies – Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and James Spader as Quicksilver, Scarlet With and the nefarious Ultron himself.

Take a look at them above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on April 23rd, 2015.’ [Read more…]

New Avengers: Age Of Ultron Trailer Hits – Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans & co. are back

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I think Marvel are keen for us to know that Avengers: Age Of Ultron won’t be short on action, as they’ve released a trailer that seems to want to suggest the Battle Of New York was a bit wimpy compared to what they have in store.

You can take a look at it before, along with new character banners for Captain America and Hawkeye above (you can see the other recent character banners for the movie here and here).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time.

avengers-age-of-ultron-iron-man-bannerAfter yesterday’s full Avengers: Age Of Ultron posters, it’s time for one of the characters to get their own poster – and it’s not too surprising that first up is Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man/Tony Stark, who’s looking as cool as you might expect – even if he is responsible for creating the movie’s villain.
