The MCU’s ‘Spider-Man’ Will Be Different From The Others

 

Is the most eagerly anticipated character in the upcoming film, Spiderman? – Skatornixxx

Captain America: Civil War’s directors Anthony and Joe Russo are looking to bring Spider-Man into the modern era by making him unlike any of the previous interpretation of everyone’s favourite web-head.

In an interview with comicbook.com, Joe Russo disclosed “we took a very personal approach to the character. He was my favourite character growing up, so the opportunity to bring Spider-Man to the screen is a dream come true.”

In dealing with bringing such an iconic comic book character into the MCU Anthony Russo explained “we’re bringing Spider-Man into the movie in [Captain America’s] universe, in that specific tonal stylistic world. It’s a little more grounded and a little more hardcore contemporary.”

The directors further elaborated their desire to make us care more about the character this time around by grounding Peter Parker in a “world that we live in”, they hope to make the “experience of watching [him] more passionate and more well-rounded.”

The Russo brothers previous success with Captain America: Winter Soldier saw the duo-directors pair spy-heavy-thriller with the comic book world of Marvel. A darker interpretation for the MCU that resonated with fans as well as critics alike. With the directors news that Civil War will continue the darker-trend, the pair teased “a lot of shocking things are going to happen” ushering a “profound experience” within the Marvel Universe.

Captain America: Civil War is slated to hit theatres May 6, 2016.

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Star Doesn’t Expect ‘InHumans’ Movie Crossover

Are You Inhuman ? – Skatronixxx

Agents of SHIELD has carved out a niche within the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the go-to show for all your InHumans madness. However if Agent Coulson actor Clark Gregg has any precognitive ability at-all, then don’t expect your favourite Agents to cross-over with Marvel’s InHumans movie in the future.

“The InHumans movie I suspect will be its own cinematic version,” discussed Clark in an interview with DigitalSpy. “That writer and director will have free-reign to do what they want to do with the InHumans. But hopefully there’ll be some way that our InHumans connect to that. It’d be too bad if that was wasted.”

Since Season 2 of the hit Marvel show. The InHumans have proven a critical story element, with Skye (Chloe Bennet) revealed to be comic book character Daisy Johnson and heir to dynasty of InHumans living on Earth. Season 3, which is set to debut in the UK this Sunday on E4, looks to continue this trend with numerous InHumans discovering their powers after Season 2’s finale saw Terrigan Crystals get into the public Water supply.

Clark did note that the show has continued to transform: “They destroy the organisation our show is named after and we have to deal with that! I’ll be interested to see how it evolves, that crossover stuff.”

With Marvel’s InHumans movie slated for release on July 12, 2019. It may be awhile yet before either Marvel or Agents of SHIELD have to worry about such crossover nonsense. But its fun to fan-fict Daisy ‘Quake’ Johnson joining The Avengers right?

Make sure to tune in Sunday January 10, on E4 for the Season 3 UK premier of Agents of SHIELD.

A&E’s ‘Damien’ TV Series Details

 King Arthur has joined the dark side nooooo – Skatronixxx

Get ready Horror fans for everyones favourite child-of-Satan, who is ready to return our screens with A&E’s TV sequel Damien.

A direct sequel to 1976’s The Omen (ignoring the duds 2 & 3), the show will follow Homeland actor Bradley James as a 30-year-old Damien Thorn whose relatively normal life as a War photographer is turned upside down as he must confront his Satanic nature after suppressing the tragic events of the original movie.

“It’s more a case of not being able to articulate it when you’re five and strange things are happening,” explained James at this years Television Critics Association. “I looked at it as all that evil, if you will, was a noise. The only way he could escape that noise was by surrounding himself with louder noises. That’s why he became a war photographer. There’s a lot to be said for not knowing any different and not being able to articulate it yourself, having had no one explain it to you.”

Former Walking Dead showrunner Glenn Mazzara was also on hand to explain the process of brining The Omen mythos into a grounded reality for Damien. “The approach here is you want to see Damien’s humanity,” revealed Mazzara. “He’s an antichrist. So if you say Christ is all God and all Human, the antichrist would be all human and all devil. That’s an interesting character to root for. As Damien faces his humanity, he’s going to go down a path where as he’s doing stuff, we both want him to be stopped and want him to fulfill his destiny.”

Mazzara, who will also serve as executive producer on show, also confirmed that the show will tackle the tough subject of religion with Damien’s search for God “leads him to the Devil.”

“It’s a process. One of the things I wanted to avoid was I didn’t just want to have Damien fully cognizant of what was going on and a matter of people trying to flush him out because that’s a serial killer show. I wanted to look at someone who is supposedly tasked with this horrifying future crime, that he is going to bring about the apocalypse. Does he give into that? Does he fight against it? Does he want to do that or not want to do that? I thought that was very interesting. That seemed like the longest run. That seemed like the fullest story. That was a full character arc, a full journey.”

Helping Damien in his journey to discover his Devilish-roots will be Barbara Hershey, most remembered as Natalie Portman’s over-bearing mother in the Academy award winning film Black Swan. Hershey will once again channel that creepy-essence as Damien’s guide Ann Rutledge, whose job has been to protect him for much of his adolescent life and now must help the young man to realise his dark destiny.

The Omen will be the most recent Horror franchise to receive a TV drama adaptation after NBC’s critical lauded Hannibal, MTV’s Scream and A&E’s own Bates Motel.

Damien will premier on March 7, 2016 on A&E.

True Detective star Rachel McAdams has also been cast in the film as a “fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange” who serves as “his sort of lynchpin to his old life” before he became a Sorcerer.

Doctor Strange will be the first origin tale in Phase 3 of Marvels’ intergalactic Cinematic universe and will introduce magic into a superhero world full of super-soldiers, Billionaire inventors and Hulking monsters. “We don’t want to shy away from that, because that’s what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange,” confided Marvel Producer Kevin Fiege. “He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn’t fly like Superman or like Thor.”

​​

Fiege also revealed in his interview with Entertainment Weekly that Stranges’ signature idol, The Eye of Agamatto, will feature heavily in the film granting Steven the ability to “manipulate probabilities” even “screw around with time’ — which is part of our story.”

‘Gravity Falls’ Creator Lands A New Fox Show

I need to check out Gravity Falls – Skatronixxx

Those mourning the end of the beloved Disney X.D. animated series Gravity Falls. May be happy to hear that creator Alex Hirsch has landed a presentation pilot for his new animated show with major broadcast network FOX.

In a conversation with Variety, Hirsch was tipped lipped about his new show but did quip that “I’m cooking up some brand-new weirdness.” The article also revealed that the writer and voice actor had also been courted by other networks before ultimately deciding to go with FOX.

Gravity Falls has currently finished its second season run but a hour-long series finale is set to air February 15. In addressing the announcement that the show was to end, Hirsch commented: “I always designed Gravity Falls to be a finite series about one epic summer – a series with a beginning, middle, and end. There are so many shows that go on endlessly until they lose their original spark, or mysteries that are cancelled before they ever get a chance to payoff.”

FOX has been home to a number of successful animated shows including King of the Hill, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama and (of course) The Simpsons. Should Hirsch’s new show get picked up he will be in great company.

Will The Rock be supporting his cousin current WWE star Romain Reigns or facing him? – Skatronixxx

With The Road To WrestleMania just around the corner, starting at WWE’s annual event Royal Rumble next month. This is the season where rumours, wonderings and down-right wishful thinking start to do the rounds on the dirt sheets until the Wrestling nirvana reaches our screens on April 3.

The latest tip-bit is that legit movie star (and former wrestler … but as if you didn’t know that already) Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will grace the square circle when the WWE rolls up at the AT&T stadium in Arlington, Texas.

In an Instagram post, Johnson revealed that he will be “a part of ‘Mania 32.” With matches yet to be announced for the event, this is first bit of news regarding the PPV.

Given that the popular WWE superstar has featured heavily at past WrestleMania events since his retirement; wrestling John Cena twice in the main event. It’s hardly surprising that he is set to appear, but in what capacity? That is the question.

‘Anakin Skywalker’ Could Have Returned For ‘The Force Awakens’

I would have loved to have seen Anakin in ‘The Force Awakens’ – Skatronixxx 

In a move that would have proven controversial with Star Wars fans. Prequel hero turned legendary sci-fi villain Darth Vader, was originally set to appear in this years blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Concept artist Ian McCraig revealed in The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens companion book, that Hayden Christensen could have return to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker who eventually became the Sith Lord.

“Anakin’s ghost could come back”, teased McCraig. “If we see Anakin Skywalker, because he does flow back and forth between Darth Vader and Anakin, let’s see him as a character with a dark and light side.”

As it turns out only the charred remains of Darth Vader’s helmet made it into the film after rumours of Christensen return made the rounds back in September.

Fans did however get to see old faces in form of C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, Chewbacca – Peter Mayhew, and prequel star Ewan McGregor who lent his voice as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) Force-Flashback scene.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has recently broken Jurassic World’s record as the fastest movie to reach $1Billion dollars at 12 days, beating the Dino-franchise by one day. With the film yet to be released in Asia, we will have to see what records the film has in its sights next.
