Spider-Man

A slew of rumors and speculation about the fate of Spider-Man at Sony have hit the web following news that the company's head is considering selling a 15 to 20 percent stake in Sony's entertainment division. Fortunately Sony Pictures entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal has come forward to set the record straight.

During a brief phone interview, Pascal told Ain't It Cool News that Sony would "never ever ever" get rid of the Spider-Man property while she is at the helm. The site adds that "she feels the property is directly tied to her legacy and time at Sony. Not just that, she is really thrilled by the work on the new film."

'The Walking Dead': AMC Networks CEO Says There's No End In Sight

Walking Dead

by Brett White

Unlike the struggling survivors of the zombie apocalypse, AMC's "The Walking Dead" seems to have a very, very long life ahead of it. AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan made this fact very clear at the Barclays Global Technology, Media and Telecommunications Conference, saying that unlike ending hit shows "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men," "The Walking Dead" is pretty much guaranteed a long life.

"We hope that zombies live forever, and we’ve just begun to find out what the post-apocalyptic world is like," said Sapan, "so that we'll be sitting here at the Barclays conference in 2022 discussing the fact that 'Walking Dead' is not over... at that point, I think any one of the companies will have replaced the United States government and we'll be in a complete free enterprise world in which there are no nations."

Fans have been anxiously waiting for Superman and Batman to join forces in film for decades now, and Henry Cavill hopes that the waiting is about to come to an end. The "Man of Steel" leading man revealed to SFX that he wants a big screen team-up just as badly as everyone else does.

"I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict," says Cavill, "because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. I think that would make a great story.”

Wolverine Slashes Through Entertainment Weekly

Wolverine

by Brett White

After debuting a new trailer earlier this week, "The Wolverine" just won't rest! Now the titular hero is gracing the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, leaving his claw marks on the magazine's logo. This new shot of Wolverine features Hugh Jackman ready to rumble, and with a face that's almost as mad as the one in a few of his posters.

Like the magazine's "Iron Man 3" and Marvel Phase 2 coverage from a few weeks ago, the magazine's cover story and Wolverine-themed contents should make their way online soon. Until then, the site's peek at the latest cover features one quote from Hugh Jackman regarding 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

"Somehow the first Wolverine movie ended up looking like the fourth X-Men – just with different characters," Jackman says. "I left unsure if we'd achieved our goal, which was to make sure people understood my character. This movie will really get to his core."

Speaking of core, Logan's really been working his (ba-dum bum)! Check out the cover below.

Toby Jones returns as Arnim Zola in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and, according to Jones, Cap fans should be happy with his inclusion.

"All I can say about it is that I was pleased to be brought back," Jones told Coming Soon. "I thought I might be--because you'd know better than I do--but Zola finds a way to defeat time and you won't be disappointed with the way that's been treated in the film, that's what I would say."

'Fantastic Four': Michael B. Jordan Would 'Embrace' Playing Johnny Storm

Posted 5/22/13 1:06 pm EST by in Marvel, News

Michael B Jordan

Nothing is set in stone in regards to casting for the upcoming "Fanstic Four" reboot, but there have been more than a few rumors that Michael B. Jordan will play Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch. Jordan has been fielding plenty of questions about the potential casting while promoting his new movie "Fruitvale Station," and he opened up about it in a recent interview with Empire.

When the Empire interviewer commented that "Fantastic Four" producer Matthew Vaughn has been gushing about Jordan, the "Chronicle" actor responded, "Matthew Vaughn is a smart man as well." Jordan continued, "There's nothing in writing, nothing's official, but me and ['Fantastic Four' director] Josh [Trank] are very, very good friends. He's a very, very talented guy. Fox is a family of mine and if it were to happen I would embrace it and go all the way in. I can't really talk too much about that."

Deathstroke

by Brett White

The cast and crew of "Arrow" have wasted no time getting fans pumped up for the show's second season. The first season finale aired last week, and since then we've already had executive producer Marc Guggenheim and actor Colton Haynes giving teases as to where the super hero show will go in its sophomore year. Haynes hinted that a super team will be appearing on the show, and now Guggenheim has given TV Guide a few clues as to who they'll be facing.

"We made no secret of the fact that we subscribe to the Whedonesque model of having a big bad, and in Season 2, we'll actually have two big bads," Guggenhim tells TV Guide. "They'll both be very recognizable names to fans of the comic book. We're really excited about both of them."

by Brett White

Listen, we're still reeling from the awesomeness of the last "Man of Steel" trailer. Now there's another one, one that somehow builds on the film's already tremendous momentum. The last trailer was built around hope, this one is built around, well... pain. The Earth is in peril, jets are punched, people scream, things get serious. Check out the full trailer below.

And here are six must-see moments from the action packed. trailer.


You are not alone
"I have journeyed across an ocean of stars to greet you," says General Zod (Michael Shannon) in the trailer's opening. But his greeting isn't exactly friendly. The new trailer expands on the message Zod gave back in a previous TV spot, as he gives Earth an ultimatum: either give Kal-El up within 24 hours or he'll bust out the...

'Avengers 2' Rumors Surround The Maximoffs And Black Panther

Posted 5/21/13 4:37 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Rumor

Scarlet Witch Black Panther Quicksilver

by Brett White

The Maximoffs? Who the heck are the Maximoffs? They're the newest addition to the Avengers, according to a rumor currently circling around the "Avengers 2" script. Comic Book Movie has an unnamed source saying that, because of legal reasons, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver may not be able to use their "mutant names" in the Joss Whedon film.

"According to a person within the script writing community, as of right now it is being whispered through the rumor mill that Whedon is not calling the new additions to the Avengers team by their 'mutant names' of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. They are being called Wanda and Pietro Maximoff."

I'm a bit curious about this alleged "script writing community," especially one that apparently counts Joss Whedon as a member, or people close enough to Whedon to have read the surely top secret script. But what's the deal? I mean, sure, as much fun as it's going to be to hear Samuel L. Jackson say "Pietro" and "Wanda" repeatedly, the characters need to have code names if they're going to team up with people called Iron Man and Captain America.
