‘Jason Momoa’ Discusses ‘Aquamans’ Duel Identity

 

Aquaman is a joke no more, you wouldn’t mess with this guy – Skatronixxx

DC’s big preview night gave fans a chance to delve deeper into the comic book giants upcoming cinematic releases.

One such character that has proved as elusive as the big-green-yonder he calls home, is Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.

Last night Momoa had the chance to share his unique approach to the superhero who is unlike the other Justice Leaguers. “He’s the only one that’s both human and he’s a god. I want to see him struggle with the fact that he has these powers and he doesn’t know how to handle them; he hasn’t been trained.”

With DC’s reboot of their comic book lineup in 2012, Aquaman was given the opportunity to rise from the moniker as the Justice League member that sucks, with his Throne of Atlantis comic book storyline proving a critical and commercial success. Showing that the superhero from two worlds could be as compelling as his more famous peers.

Momoa’s Aquaman will debut in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice this summer.

‘Ezra Miller’ Talks About DC’s The Flash Mythos

 I thought it was Daisy Ridley for a split second in this photo – Skatronixxx

With the arrival of CW’s Legends of Tomorrow last night, so too did DC’s preview night that gave fans an abundance of information across their upcoming cinematic spectacles.

One of which was the chance for Ezra Miller to talk about his role as The Flash ‘Barry Allen’ in DC’s new cinematic universe. “He’s been struck by lighting, that’s the Mythos” revealed the We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) actor. “But he’s a human. He can run through walls. He can run across water. He can run so fast that he can move into a another plain of frequency where there’s another reality.”

It’s Interesting to note Millers reference to other realities in his character description. Given that Grant Gustin’s Flash is dealing with the alternate Earth 2 in the shows second season. Although the character is known for his alternate-reality-time-hopping in the comics. It will be intriguing to see if DC’s movie counterpart will follow the same cues as its CW fore bearer.

The Flash will make his debut alongside other Justice League members in the fast approaching Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice on March 25, 2016.

Rumour: Will Odin Be Back For ‘Thor: Ragnarok’

 

Why does Odin remind me of a badass version of Captain Birdseye ? – Skatronixxx

Thor: The Dark World gave us hovering tankers, the comic genius that is Kat Dennings and of course, the Underground riding Thor. But one of the mysteries that surrounds the sequel is what really happened to Odin (Anthony Hopkins) after Loki (Tom Hiddleston) stole the throne from under his fathers unsuspecting gaze.

For all those that might have expected a fate-most-foul, hold your horses because the All-father might just be okay … well, okay-ish.

According to sources close to Geek.com, legendary actor Hopkins will return for Thor: Ragnarok when Odin finds himself in Midgard, wandering the streets “as one of those crazy-looking ‘the end is nigh’ street-corner hobos, warning of the impending apocalypse.”

As many fans have theorise, Ragnarok will see the end of Asgard which was foreseen by Thor himself during his spirit journey in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Sources also revealed that Thor will encounter his father on Earth which undoubtedly will lead to the pair uniting to take the throne back from the God of Mischief himself, Loki.

Thor: Ragnarok opens in theatres November 3, 2017 and will also see Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner join the God of Thunder in protecting his home-world from the impending Norse Apocalypse.

‘Deadpool’ Denied Permission To Be Shown In China

 Who else but Deadpool ? – Skatronixxx

Ryan Reynolds much anticipated Deadpool movie may have just justified its hard R-rating with one of cinemas biggest markets outside the EU and the United States refusing to show the Merc-with-a-Mouth’s debut solo outing.

According to local media, China has “denied” 20th Century Fox Studio permission to show the movie due to, in Reynolds own words via Twitter, “blood. Guns. F-bombs. And graphic, expertly lit French Unicorn sex.”

Although the China Film Group has worked with certain R-rated films in the past to give an edited “cleaner” version to the country. Reports have indicated that an edited version of Deadpool is unlikely given that it will compromise the integrity of the plot.

Reynolds first played Wade ‘Deadpool’ Wilson in 20th Century Fox’s first X-Men spin-off Wolverine Origins (2009). The film was widely panned, in no small part to the perceived mis-handling of the Deadpool character. Who not only became the films villain William Stryker’s (Danny Huston) zombie-like henchman but the filmmakers also made the unwise decision to sew the characters mouth shut, effectively working against the characters ‘Merc-with-a-Mouth’ moniker.

Since then Reynolds had been trying to get a solo R-rated film off the ground with the project passing through many hands. His dream was finally realised when the film went into production last year with Reynolds in the title role accompanied by Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand and Stefan Kapicic.

Although Chinese Marvel Fans will miss out, Deadpool will open in theatres everywhere else February 12, 2016.

Disney’s Live Action ‘Little Mermaid’ Will Be Much Darker

 It’s the little girl from Kick-Ass all grown up – Skatronixxx

Of late Disney has been diving into their animated Renaissance classics and adapting them into live action motion pictures. First we had Maleficent (2014) staring Angelina Jolie as the title villain in the Sleeping Beauty reimagining, followed quickly by Kenneth Branagh’s critically well received Cinderella in 2015.

Currently Disney have Beauty and the Beast, starring Harry Potter star Emma Watson, in production but another much anticipated adaptation is not far off.

Speaking with Digital Spy, actress Chloe Grace Moretz revealed that her next film The Little Mermaid will be much darker than we remember. “It’s the Hans Christian Andersen story. And it’s going to be darker, and it’s a little bit more interesting, and it’s definitely more naturalistic.”

Moretz who will tackle the starring role as rebellious Mermaid Ariel, imparted her desire “to show a character that young girls can look up to, and fall in love with and be proud of.”

Known for her edgy roles in films such as Kick-Ass (2010), Let Me In (2010) and the poorly received remake of Carrie (2013. The 18-year-old looks to bring her cinematic quirkiness to the fairy tale, to show “side of the Little Mermaid that we already know – which is great – but also more modern, which it needed to be.”

Ubisofts ‘Assassins Creed’ Movie Wraps

Can’t wait for this – Skatronixxx

Fans of the Parkour roaming Assassins Creed are one step closer to seeing their favourite game realised on screen as Ubisoft’s movie wraps. A picture from the last day filming was posted by head of content Azaïzia Aymar confirmed to be have taken on January 15.

​​

 I can’t wait for this film YAY!!! – Skatronixxx

The film is expected to be the first in a projected franchise mirroring Ubisoft’s succession of games revolving around a secret society of Assassins and they never-ending fight through the ages against the Knights Templar.

It was revealed by Yahoo! back in August last year that the movie will be an original story with Michael Fassbender portraying Callum Lynch who was “created specifically for the film.” The movie will follow Lynch who “discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar.” Fans should expect the movie to reflect the games format with Lynch time-hoping between the modern day and 15th century Spain where he must gain the knowledge and skills “to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.”

Actress Marion Cotillard will also appear alongside Fassbender in an as-of-yet undisclosed role. But Ubisoft have confirmed that the movie will exist within the same universe as the games, with the modern day setting a key element in the film. Could Cotillard be a blast from the gaming past? Wouldn’t be the first time she has portrayed a character who is revealed to be an integral part of the cinematic past, just ask Batman.

Given cinema’s past failures with adapting games to celluloid. Assassins Creed fans have become increasingly worried after the films lead actor admitted in December to Entertainment Weekly that he “hadn’t played it before these guys approached me.” Although this isn’t a crime worthy of incarceration, although i’m sure ardent fans would believe otherwise. The actor did at least revealthat he has since played at least one of Ubisofts many titles in order “to get an idea of the physicality of the character.”

Phew, panic over.

‘Supergirl’: Whats Next For J’onn J’onzz?

 

Hank Henshaw is J’onn J’onzz? DAMN – Skatronixxx

Partway through the first-half CBS’ Supergirl, the show delivered an unexpected reveal that DEO Director Hank Henshaw was in fact Justice Leaguer J’onn J’onzz aka The Martian Manhunter.

In a set vist by IGN, actor David Harewood revealed that “I didn’t actually know at all that I was going to be playing J’onn J’onzz when I did the pilot. The pilot was, I would say, a little bit of an uncomfortable experience, because I couldn’t really find an angle with Hank. A lot of the pilot was very expositional, so it wasn’t particularly easy to say, it wasn’t particularly easy to enjoy.”

Harewood further explained that once the producers let him in on the truth behind his character he felt excited to portray the comic book hero. The producers even gave him a pile of comics to read, opening his mind to another side of the Martian Manhunter. “I thought this character had such an amazing story, backstory, and amazing mythology. And I had no idea that he was so popular amongst the DC community, and also amongst the black community, who have seen J’onn J’onzz as almost the kind of honorary black person, which is… I was really happy about.”

J’onn J’onzz ultimately reveals himself to Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) after she starts to suspect that Henshaw is not totally as he seems given that he is last person to see her father, Jereminah Danvers (Dean Cain), alive. “We’re actually going see how J’onn became Hank in an upcoming episode”, confirmed showrunner Andrew Kreisberg. “I think part of Hank Henshaw that we see on our show, that J’onn is inhabiting, is an affect. He is inhabiting… he is impersonating somebody. But I do think that there is an aspect of… You know, the character Hank Henshaw is supposed to be protecting the world from destruction.”

Kreisberg also highlighted that J’onzz is ideally placed to understand what Supergirl aka Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) is going through: “like Kara, who lost everything. He lost his family; his wife; his children. He is truly the last survivor.” With executive producer Ali Adler adding that “As much experience as Hank brings to Kara, in terms of the D.E.O. in the world, Kara brings this new coming out, in terms of being herself. And I think for J’onn J’onzz, who doesn’t know his familiar form anymore, he’s been around a long, long time, and he’s never been able to walk amongst humans the way that Kara has. And so I think she does a lot of teaching, in ways, and it’s really sweet.”

Since the pilot episode many fans had assumed that Harewoods Henshaw would ultimately become the Cyborg-Superman from the comics, a theory that was confirmed by Creator Greg Berlanti: “We knew we were going to have a twist with Hank’s character and it was perhaps going to be in the vein of Cyborg Superman. We talk with DC at the beginning of the year and ask what characters might we be able to have, who is where, who are we maybe going to use. For a little while, I think they had talked about doing a Martian Manhunter series, so I never thought that was on the table. But when everybody saw what David was doing and saw an opportunity, we thought, ‘Wow, if you’re going to have a human embodiment of J’onn J’onzz, this is who we want.’”

Marvel’s ‘Infinity War’ Could Have Up To 67 Characters

2018 but I want it now *sulks* – Skatronixxx

The count-down to Marvel’s Infinity War has already begun. Once we have navigated the murky waters of the Russo brothers Civil War, the fight to save Earth, the Galaxy and even the Universe from Thanos becomes the imminent threat.

So of course with a great threat such as the mad Titan, to steal a newbies motto, comes a great responsibility. And when the threat is that large, why not throw 67 superheroes at the situation and see if it sticks.

“We have so many characters we’re dealing with,” revealed Joe Russo in an interview with ComicBookMovie. “We’re breaking ground on Avengers: Infinity War. We have a board with 67 characters on it.”

With production still in the early stages, it’s too early to confirm who indeed will be in the Infinity War Part 1 and 2. But with many solo movies currently in the vault and with Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Panther and InHumans scheduled for release before the ultimate fight for survival hits our screens. It’s safe to assume any facsimile of all the current and future crop of heroes could certainly be in the mix.

Although the Russo’s have made it clear that fans would “not be disappointed” by the cast. Joe seemed to remain tight lipped as to whether The Guardian’s of the Galaxy will be making an appearance. “That is another one that we would have to reserve as a surprise, but we will say this – people will not be disappointed in the amount of characters in the movie.”

The director did however state: “The concept of Infinity War is that the Marvel universe unites to battle the greatest threat to the world and universe that you’ve ever seen, and we’re going to honour that concept.”

Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 debuts in spring 2018, with Part 2 following in 2019.

‘The 100’ Season 3 Preview

 It’s Janae Timmins gone wild – Skatronixxx

The 100 stands amongst the TV landscape as one of the most underrated shows currently airing. Maybe its the Sci-Fi aspect that puts the kibosh on them giving it a chance or the comparisons to Lost which unfairly steers people away from giving it too much of their time.

Whatever the reason, loyal fans of The 100 know what those dweebs are missing out on and Season 3 looks to be a wild ride they may convince the naysayers to jump on board.

At the recent TCA’s (Television Critics Association), The 100 held a panel to hype the upcoming season. Alongside showrunner Jason Rothenberg, cast members Eliza Taylor (“Clarke”), Paige Turco (“Abby”), Marie Avgeropoulos (“Octavia”), Lindsey Morgan (“Raven”), Adina Porter (“Indra”) and Alycia Debnam-Carey (“Lexa“) were on hand to tease us with the next chapter in the shows journey and give us hints of what to expect.

“We tell a lot of stories in [the Grounder capitol] Polis this season,” explained Rothenberg, before revealing that season 3 will explore the Grounders more thoroughly than previous seasons. With Debnam-Carey adding that aspects of “Their politics. Their spiritual history. How they’ve adapted things from what the world use to be” will be explained as the show progress. Rothenberg also elaborated on the events of Season 2 revealing that there is a “civil war brewing” in the capitol as a result, with the Grounders being posed with the question, “Can these people overcome their internal stuff to overcome a catastrophe?”

One of the more captivating events of Season 2 was the unlikely alliance between the Grounders and Sky people, with Lexa and Clarke at the forefront of their respective sides. Theirs was a necessary yet fractious relationship that towards the seasons end boiled over into passion, signalled by a single kiss before they went to war against Mount Weather in the season finale. It was an LGBT relationship that was a slow burn but handled very matter-of-factly, which Debnam-Carey explaining, “It’s the fact that it’s not addressed that makes it so powerful.”

The 100 has also become renowned for their strong representations of women, an aspect that has not been lost on Eliza Taylor. “This was the first opportunity I’ve had to play a character with true integrity and strength”, revealing that until the show she had been only offered stereotypical roles as “the dumb one” on the account of her blonde hair. With Turco, who plays Taylor’s mother on the show, adding that “I’m so grateful. It’s new. It’s so rare to have so many women on one show with strength.”

Rothenberg also answered the question of the future of the show and any long-term plans for storylines going forward. “I know where I want the show to end. I know what I want the final story to be. I don’t know how long that’s going to take,” noting that the show has yet to be renewed for Season 4. “I want to do the show for as long as it’s interesting for me creatively and I don’t think we’re repeating ourselves.”

Fans won’t have to wait too much longer with Season 3 set to debut on CW Thursday, January 21 in the US, with the UK premier soon after on E4.

‘J.J. Abrams & Colin Trevorrow’ Tease Rey’s Lineage

 

It’s one of the biggiest questions to come from the latest Star Wars film – Skatronixxx

For all the attention that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has commanded since its December 2015 release. No more as stolen the limelight that Daisy Ridleys Rey, a character who has been celebrated, theorised, critique and even sparked a revolution on our toy-stands.

But as studied as the young-Jedi is, what remains as tantalising as-ever is that we don’t have that much background on everyones new favourite Star Wars personality. Sure there are theories out there but only three men, J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson and Colin Trevorrow, seem to hold the answers, and they’re just loving it.

“I know quite a bit,” revealed Abrams speaking at the Television Critics Association press tour. “But obviously it’s not for me to talk about in this moment because this is Rian (Johnson’s) story to continue now and the last thing I’m going to do is reveal something he would be upset about. I want to make sure Rian gets that courtesy that he had shown me.”

Although Abrams was quick to keep mum on the subject, his answer does indicate that by the time Johnson’s Episode VIII rolls around we may get more insight into where Rey comes from and indeed, who her parents are. If fellow actor John Boyega is to be believed that Johnson’s sequel will be “much darker”, it could be a rough ride both physically mentally for the heroine. Perhaps an Empire Strikes Back like reunion is on the cards, I’d just stay away from those rail-less walkways if I was you Rey.

Although the sequel is purported to get darker, like her fellow new characters, Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Issaac) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Rey is expected to appear in all three of the new Star Wars movies. Which seems appropriate given Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow’s affinity for the character. “I love her and I love what she represents in that universe and where we can take her. It’s pretty incredible,” commented the Jurassic World (2015) director, whose film held the record for reaching a Billion Dollars in the least amount of days until The Force Awaken broke it late last year.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the BAFTA Nominations Event on Saturday, Trevorrow was careful not to confirm the prevailing theory that Rey is Star Wars Legend Obi Wan Kenobi’s Granddaughter:

“I’ve seen all of the theories and, you know, I have to practice how to answer these questions. What I do know is that we’re going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying because Rey is a character that is important in this universe. Not just in the context of The Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy and she deserves it. And so we’ll make sure that answer feels like something that was — it’s something that happened a long time ago far away. We’re just telling you what happened.”

Although tight-lipped, Trevorrow didn’t deny that the fan-theory could be wrong, I guess that we can keep on fan-ficting this one to death until Johnson’s Episode VIII is released May 26, 2017.
