THE AVENGERS Reviews, Interviews & More

We’ve previously reported to you that Marvel is planning on bringing the African superhero Black Panther into the Marvel Cinematic Universe; elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve noted that even Jeremy Renner thought his role in The Avengers sucked.  What do these two things have to do with one another?  Well, they...

Ever since Iron Man 3 came out in theaters, there's been a number of rumors floating around saying that we may not have the same actors playing a couple of our favorite Marvel characters in their upcoming films. Fans have been panicking over the possibility that Tony Stark and company could be played by different people, but maybe that won't be in our immediate future like some have...

Because Joss Whedon has cautiously let the entire world know that X-Men and sometimes Avengers comic book characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be appearing in The Avengers 2 (rather, they’re in the current draft, at least), it’s now time to let the rampant speculation begin as to who will take the role of the two new Avengers—because simply waiting to find out when the...

Following The Avengers’ success as one of the highest-grossing films in human history, Iron Man 3’s opening day ticket sales being the second-highest, well, ever, and the varying (but still solid) success of the Thor, Captain America, and other Iron Man films, Marvel Studios can pretty much write their own ticket at this...

Iron Man 3 has already scored a hefty $300 in overseas box office receipts, so it should come as no surprise that in approximately 12 or so hours it’s already made a killing at the American box office.

Last month, we reported that Joss Whedon, when discussing his newest draft for The Avengers 2 script, stated that “I’ve got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act.  They’re in the movie.”  Many (including us) speculated that this was a reference to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, a mutant brother and sister due who, while...

One of the biggest head-scratchers of Marvel’s upcoming Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series spin-off of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was how Joss Whedon and company would manage to explain the return of Clark Gregg’s agent Coulson, as circumstances in The Avengers would seem to preclude his involvement.  Just a heads-up, big spoilers ahead.

It’s well known that Robert Downey Jr.’s contract with Marvel ends with Iron Man 3, which gets an official release on May 3.  Despite that fact, it’s assumed that Downey Jr. will appear in 2015’s The Avengers 2 in at least some capacity.  Further, as /Film notes, it was assumed that an Iron Man 4 was “probably” going to...

After promising that “awful things” will happen to the Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye during an interview about The Avengers 2 earlier this month, Joss Whedon has let even more details slip about his upcoming superhero sequel to one of the most financially successful films of all time.  Want some spoiler-y information because you just can’t...

Back in the day, studios licensed characters from Marvel, hoping to turn their characters into movie stars. Sony got Spider-Man, Fox had The Fantastic Four and Daredevil, and so on and so on. Now that Marvel is its own studio they'd rather have their characters back in their fold, and recently Marvel confirmed that...

With a new week comes the promise of a new Marvel movie teaser, trailer for a trailer, full trailer, or talking head feature selling the latest in Marvel’s “Phase Two” of superhero films.  Today, it’s the teaser for Thor: The Dark World, in which our favorite Asgardian with the Fabio hair and flying hammer returns to smash some CGI bad guys and make puppydog eyes at Natalie...

Anyone who has enjoyed Joss Whedon’s best work (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly/ Serenity) knows that, despite the fact that he genuinely seems to love and care about his characters, always instilling them with humanity and integrity, he also never shies away from exposing their faults and allowing truly, truly ugly and terrible things to...

Yesterday, we received a small concept-art peek into the world of Marvel’s “Phase Two” (you know, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and The Avengers 2).  Today, Marvel has gone full tilt boogie and released a video preview of Iron Man 3, along with...

Marvel's movie universe has been constantly expanding within the past couple of years. They've brought us out to space, connected several of our favorite superheroes together and successfully have gone through their Phase 1 of their movie franchise. Now they're in the thick of Phase 2 that begins with Iron Man 3. While most of the world has to wait...

When watching the most recent trailer for Iron Man 3, sharper eyes than ours apparently caught the fact that Tony Stark’s “Hulkbuster” armor was seen crashing through a wall—“Hulkbuster” armor being the gear that Stark designed to control and/or fight the incredible Hulk with should the big green guy turn nasty.  So, of course, this being the internet,...

A few weeks ago, rumors began to slip out that a major portion of The Avengers 2 and The Avengers 3 would concern the Hulk, and his storylines from the Planet Hulk and World War Hulk graphic novels (in which the Avengers, fearful of Hulk’s destructive power, send him into space; the big green guy then crash lands on an...

While The Avengers was something of a problematic blockbuster (a dud of a first half-hour, a mega deus ex machine ending), there was one element that everyone seems to agree worked out just fine—Mark Ruffalo’s Banner/ Hulk character.  So, of course, there have been the inevitable solo Hulk film rumors (despite the first two not being overwhelming successes), as...

For about three seconds there, the Warner Bros. attempt to carbon-copy Marvel’s success with The Avengers seemed full-steam ahead, with the Man of Steel film set to lead to a Justice League (featuring a team up between Superman, a new Batman, and various other DC Comics superheroes), and the Justice League film acting as a reboot for a new Batman...

After seeing the success of The Avengers, Warner Brothers wanted to get in on that game and so they've been talking up Justice League as their version of last summer's $600 Million dollar hit. And in some ways they have it easier. Iron Man and Thor don't (or didn't) have the name recognition of Superman and Batman. But it looks like their...

There's been talk about an Ant-Man movie even before Marvel's The Avengers were shot. There were even some rumblings about putting the small superhero in the first formation of the group onscreen, since he was one of the founding members. Years later, Edgar Wright puts our minds at rest over the latest on his long-awaited superhero film....
