Sebastian Stan Thinks The Idea Of Captain America & Bucky Becoming Boyfriends Is ‘Great’

June 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sebastian-stanOver the last few months there have been various hashtag campaigns on Twitter to give some prominent movie character same sex partners. That includes Elsa from Frozen and Captain America. The likelihood of Marvel allowing Cap to date a boy is pretty remote, but there was a lot of Twitter support for #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend, especially following the closeness between the character and Bucky/The Winter Soldier in the films.

As Chris Evans is known to be incredibly LGBT friendly (and has a gay brother), it’s difficult to imagine he’d be bothered if Captain America turned out to like boys as well as girls,but what about Bucky Barnes actor Sebastian Stan? Well, he’s not against the idea either and has been pleased to see what’s been happening on Twitter.

He told GQ, “Look, man, I think it’s great. Movies are for people to relate to in whatever way they want. No one here is ever going to point a finger and say what’s right and wrong. For me, it’s like, Awww. It’s cute, it’s great. If someone takes the time to think about that, that’s great. I don’t think of the character that way, though. But there’s no right or wrong answer.”

He might not think of the character that way, but from the amount of fan fiction and erotic imagery on the likes of Tumblr, there are plenty of people out there who’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it. While it’s unlikely the two character will get together on screen, Marvel will hopefully start to open the door to significant LGBT characters in its cinematic universe. Disney (which owns the comic company) was recently given a failing grade by GLAAD for not including and LGBT characters in the films it released in 2015, including its Marvel movies. Some of those behind-the-scenes have suggested they’d been keen to make the films more inclusive, but so far there’s little evidence that’s happening.

Oh, and if you really want to see Cap and Bucky geting it on, Men.com will be releasing a porn parody soon with Alex Mecum in the title role, as the posters below show. [Read more…]

Spider-Man Stand-alone Movie Will Include Other Marvel Characters

April 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-spider-manIt surprised many when it was announced that Marvel and Sony had done a deal that would allows Spider-man to show up in Captain America: Civil War, as well as for Marvel to provide some creative direction for a new stand-alone Spidey movie. What wasn’t clear at the time was whether that would mean any of the Marvel universe character would show up in the Spider-man film.

Now it appears that they will, as EW reports that Marvel head honcho told them that while it will be a Sony movie, other Marvel characters are likely to appear too. He says, “[Spider-Man] is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth.”

However, there’s no news on what characters might show up.

Bringing Spider-man into the Marvel universe seems to be paying off, as in early reports from critics screenings of Civil War, Tom Holland’s take on the web-slinger has come in for particular praise. He’ll also play the character in the stand-alone film, planned for 2017, with Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Jon Watts will direct.

Captain America: Civil War Trailer – Get your first look at Tom Holland’s Spider-man

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-spider-manWhile there have been quite a few images and posters for Captain America: Civil War, they’ve deliberately shied away from showing us one of the main things everyone wants to see – Spider-man’s first appearance in a Marvel movie. The deal between Sony and Marvel allowed it to happen, and Tom Holland was cast in the role, with Civil War marking his first appearance before he gets a standalone movie.

However, the new Captain America: Civil War makes the big reveal, so get a good look at the new Spidey below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo and Martin Freeman, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl.

‘Anthony & Joe Russo are directing with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee are the executive producers. The screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” opens in U.K. cinemas on 29 April, 2016.’ [Read more…]

Meet Team Iron Man In More Captain America: Civil War Character Posters

March 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-character7-slideYesterday we were introduced to Team Cap with a set of six character posters. Now it’s time to see who they’ll be up against with posters for Team Iron Man. The heroes are ready for battle, with Iron Man, Vision, War Machine, Black Panther and Black Widow up against Captain America and his crew.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.’

The movie hits cinema in May. Take a look at the new posters below.

Captain America: Civil War Character Posters Emerge – Meet Team Cap

March 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-character1-slideI’m presuming next year’s crop of tenpole movies will see a lot of superheroes heading off for relationship counselling, as this year they’re all fighting. After Batman v Superman we’ll be getting Captain America: Civil War, which will see the Avengers fighting with one another, with the two sides led by the Cap and Iron Man.

It’s all going to get very messy, with most of the Marvel line-up involved, except for Thor and Hulk (who are presumably off getting ready for Thor: Ragnarok, which will feature both of them). To help prepare us, a set of character posters have been released, which appear to show us the characters who will be on Captain America’s side. You can take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity.

Captain America: Civil War Super Bowl Spot – New footage emerges from Avengers 2.5

February 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-poster1-slidePretty much everyone from Avengers is showing up in Captain America: Civil War, except for Thor and Hulk (but that’s because they’re teaming up for their own adventure). As a result, Marvel is hoping the film is going to be huge and so it’s no suprise they felt the need for a Super Bowl spot, which you can take a look at below.

Synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

‘The movie stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Frank Grillo, Tom Holland, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl. Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” is directed by Anthony & Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee serve as executive producers and the screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.’

Captain America: Civil War Trailer – Chris Evans & Robert Downey Jr. are no longer friends

November 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-poster1-slideIt may have Captain America in the name, but Civil War is almost as much of an Avengers movie as Age Of Ultron. Only Thor and Hulk are missing – but they will both be in Thor: Ragnarok, so they haven’t been forgotten completely.

Now three posters and a first trailer for Captain America: Civil War are here.

Marisa Tomei In Talks To Play Aunt May In New Spider-man Movie

July 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marisa-TomeiPeter Parker/Spider-man is getting younger as he morphs from Andrew Garfield into the form of 18-year-old Tom Holland, and it appears his Aunt May may be getting a few years knocked off her too. While the character has traditionally looked like someone who could have been Peter grandmother, this time around she may be played by 50-year-old Marisa Tomei.

Variety reports the actress is in talks for the role, although as yet the studio behind the movie, Sony, has made no comment. It’s not clear how close she is to signing, but it appears an offer was made to her last week.

Jon Watts (Cop Car) was recently announced to direct the film and Sony is currently looking for a writer to help shape the stand-alone Spidey flick alongside him. The film is due for release July 28th, 2017.

That won’t be our first look at Holland as Spider-man, as he’s due to appear in Captain America: Civil War, although it’s believed this will be little more than a cameo. However Marvel will be fully involved in this do-over of the Spider-man universe, which leaves the door open for more cross-overs in the future.

Tom Holland Is The New Spider-man, With Jon Watts Directing Standalone Film

June 23, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hollandA few months ago came the major announcement that Spider-man would be joining the Marvel Universe with an appearance in Captain America: Civil War. However despite the fact that movie has been shooting for a while now, no new Spidey was announced to replace the sadly departing Andrew Garfield.

That’s changed now though, as the young man who’s seemed like the frontrunner for several weeks, Tom Holland, has landed the role. Yep, it’s another Brit.

The accompanying press release says that the ‘studios and producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in The Impossible, Wolf Hall, and the upcoming In the Heart of the Sea, and by a series of complex screen tests.’ And unlike either Garfield or Tobey Maguire, he is actually still a teenager.

He will first been seen in the role in Civil War, which opens May 2016, before getting his own standalone movie on July 28th, 2017. Sony also announced who would direct that movie, going with Jon Watts, director of Cop Car, the upcoming thriller that made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

He’s certainly a brave choice but it seems increasingly popular to put superhero movies in the hands of up and comers who have indie cred but little mega-budget Hollywood experience.

Paul Rudd & Paul Bettany Join Captain America: Civil War As Production Begins

May 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-paul-rudd-shirtlessCaptain America: Civil War is increasingly turning into and Avengers movie in all but name, as while it will lack a few of the throng, such as Thor and Hulk, it’s got Iron Man and Scarlet Widow, and now it’s been confirmed it will also have The Vision (Paul Bettany), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and James ‘War Machine’ Rhodes (Don Cheadle).

To many people’s surprise, after making his Marvel Universe debut later this year in Ant-Man, Paul Rudd will also be in the new Cap film.

And while Marvel has largely ignored 2008’s The Incredible Hulk despite it being technically part of their filmic universe (even if it did have a different actor in the main role), it’s now bringing back one of that movie’s characters, William Hurt’s General Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross.

The info was included in a press release announcing the start of production, which also included the following synopsis, ‘“Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.’

As that suggests, the movie will shake things up, with the fallout being seen in Avengers: Infinity War.

What isn’t known yet is who will play another character we’ve been promised for the movie, Spider-man, but presumably we’ll find out who’s playing the role very soon.
