Thor Reviews, Interviews & More
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...
The saying goes that your heroes are only as good as your villain, so perhaps this is good news—according to actor Tom Hiddleston, it’s looking less and less likely that Thor and The Avengers villain Loki will be making a return appearance in The Avengers 2. Not to offend The Avengers fans out there, but Loki wasn’t the most terribly...
Okay, we all know what Chris Hemsworth looks like as Thor in Thor: The Dark World, but what our terrifying new villain Malekith the Accursed? We know who's playing him, the super talented Christopher Eccleston, but what does he look like? We may be looking at him from a distance but Marvel Studios gives us a first look at the latest villain to shake...
Well, it’s time for another of our near-daily "hey, here’s something else Marvel Studios is doing that will make about half a billion dollars” new updates, this time, with plot summaries! That’s right, Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World have been given official plot synopses by Marvel. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that Tony Stark is going...
In the post-Avengers world we live in, there's a heightened anticipation for Marvel's next wave of films, which include Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. Both are in production, while Captain America 2 is about to enter production. We know quite a bit about Iron Man...
Fanboys rejoice: we’ve learned that actress Kat Dennings will take time out from her busy schedule of anchoring the terribly, terribly unfunny CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls in order to return to the Thor sequel in an expanded role.
One of the disappointments of The Avengers (and there were a few, despite the film’s grosses), was that the character of Hawkeye turned out to be pretty much as absolutely pointless as one could imagine an archer would be next to a radioactive Hulk, a Norse god, a genetically engineered super soldier, and a billionaire genius with a robotic super-suit. And Jeremy Renner, the man...
Though Mads Mikkelson had originally been in talks for the role, it seems Marvel has finally settled on their Big Bad for the upcoming Thor sequel, Thor: The Dark World—Christopher Eccelston. That’s right: the ninth Doctor Who will be your Thor sequel baddie.
Guardians of the Galaxy—a 31st Century group of superheroes that protect the Milky Way galaxy within the Marvel comics universe—appears to be the newest big Marvel property that will be hitting the big screen. What’s more, the film will apparently take place within the same continuity of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers, and will act as a...
Yesterday, we reported to you that Sony’s in-development Venom spinoff will likely take place in the same fictional universe as the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, with random crossovers and cameos, a la The Avengers with Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and Captain America. Now, it was leaked today that, originally, The Avengers was set to feature a Spider-Man crossover…...
Earlier this week, we reported that Warner Bros. has is responding to the success of Marvel’s The Avengers by gearing up for their own superhero supergroup film: DC’s Justice League. Word has already trickled out that the team-up film will be “dark and mature,” a la Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy; now it seems that Warner Bros. is set to take a page from the...
Marvel Studios are on a roll, having already cast not one, but three different villains for Iron Man 3 – and now they’ve announced Casino Royale baddie Mads Mikkelsen will be playing an as-yet unknown villain in Thor 2. However, fans will be happy to know Tom Hiddleston will also be back as Loki, and is said to still have a big part as...
Between such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse, Joss Whedon is known for featuring strong female characters in his TV shows and films. And while The Avengers did have Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow kicking ass and helping to save the world, the film was still a festival of testosterone between Thor, Iron Man,...
We get it, The Avengers—people like you. People like you a lot. But $1 billion in global box office receipts in 19 days? Now you’re just showing off, Tony Stark-style. Turns out people really, really want to see four superheroes (plus one athletic super-spy and one pointless dude with a bow and arrow) beat the hell out of New York City.
After The Avengers hit us with a massive $207 million opening weekend (grossing a worldwide $700 million), it should be no surprise that Disney/Marvel has officially announced the obvious; a sequel is on the way. Of course, we already knew a sequel would be on the way (Marvel rarely stops at just one, and its stars are all signed to multi-film contracts); this is...
If the box office is any indication (and it is), a lot of you enjoyed The Avengers this weekend. And even though the record-breaking superhero film is already 2.5 hours long, fans are already clamoring for more. While it’s a bit early for sequel news, director Joss Whedon is promising a three-hour director’s cut of The Avengers with 30 minutes of new...
Not that it’s any surprise, but in case you were curious, The Avengers took in nearly $20 million from midnight showings on Thursday night, entering a pantheon of memorable blockbuster films that set records for their midnight-premiere screenings: The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.
We’re just under two weeks until the official release of The Avengers, one of the most anticipated films of 2012. The Joss Whedon-directed superhero film features such Marvel hotshots as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to defend Earth from the threat posed by Thor’s villainous brother, Loki. And in a new clip from the film, you can...
Back in February, we received a new Avengers trailer that featured a bevy of new footage containing the Hulk, Loki, and a ton of action, and it was, quite frankly, pretty exciting. But then Japan went and received a trailer with even more new footage, stealing all of our thunder with new shots of the film’s otherworldy villains, the SHIELD mobile base, and the Avengers’...
After dropping an official poster on us on Tuesday, today Marvel has unloaded their newest The Avengers trailer, chock full of Robert Downey Jr-isms, dramatic music, more Hulk, more villains, and thankfully, very little of Cap America’s silly, decidedly un-cinematic uniform. Check out the full trailer below!
