Arrow

Oliver Queen may be down, but he's certainly not out. This week marks the season finale of the CW's "Arrow," in which our beloved vigilante finally comes face to face with the biggest and baddest adversary he's yet to encounter: Malcolm Merlyn, a.k.a. the Dark Archer. With this current season almost at an end, we sat down with "Arrow" executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, who was kind enough to shed some light on the highly-anticipated season finale.

"I think the relationship between Malcolm and Oliver, which we've gotten glimpses of over the course of the season, really comes to a head in the finale," explains Kreisberg in a recent interview with MTV Splash Page. "It's just full of these great Shakespearean things. Malcolm essentially killed Oliver's father. Your hero is only as good as your villain, and we feel like we've had both a great hero and a great villain."

'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.': Who Is J. August Richards Playing?

Posted 5/14/13 9:31 am EST by in Commentary, Marvel, TV

SHIELD

It may only be 30 seconds long, but what a glorious 30 seconds it is. This past Sunday, Marvel fans were graced with the release of the first promotional video for Joss Whedon's upcoming "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." series. While the promo may not have given us much new information about the show, it does shed some light on the mysterious role that Whedon alumni J. August Richards will be playing.

Prominently featured in two quick scenes, J. August Richards can been seen landing on the ground level of a large building (creating a huge crater upon impact) and effortlessly slamming an unknown assailant to the floor. Clearly, Richards' character has some sort of superhuman strength. But without any sort of recognizable costume to go off of, we still have no idea as to who he's actually portraying on the series!

The Walking Dead

FROM MTV GEEK

Is "The Walking Dead" headed from the small to the big screen? If star Chad Coleman is to be believed, then a movie based on the popular AMC series (which in turn is based on Robert Kirkman's popular graphic novel) is being dreamed up at the moment. MTV Geek spoke to Coleman recently and he explained why he thinks it's a given that "The Walking Dead" will join the likes of "The X-Files" and "Firefly" and make the transition to a theater near you. To hear his argument, head on over to MTV Geek!

'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV Spot Debuts

Posted 5/13/13 9:32 am EST by in Hot Stuff, Marvel, News, TV, Video

by Brett White

ABC is wasting no time getting the word out about "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." After announcing that the pilot was picked up on Friday, word quickly spread that footage from the show would premiere during the season finale of ABC's genre-drama "Once Upon a Time" on Sunday night. So in a 72 hour span, we went from not being sure Marvel Comics' first live-action TV show in years would even be picked up to being in the middle of a promotional hurricane. I'm fine with that.

The 30 second teaser, which can be viewed in all its glory below, does not skimp on the series' main selling points. Joss Whedon namecheck? Done. Shots of Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and Captain America? Got it. Big, unmistakable connection to the film that everyone saw last year, "Marvel's the Avengers"? Yep. And loads of Agent Phil Coulson? You bet. If you some how remained clueless about the S.H.I.E.L.D. show, now you know. And you are excited.

Check out the full spot and the first cast photo below.

'Arrow': 5 Best Green Lantern Team-Ups

Posted 5/10/13 10:50 am EST by in Commentary, DC Comics, TV

Green Arrow Lantern

by Ryan Rigley

There have been a number of huge DC character cameos throughout this season of "Arrow," but none of which have had anything to do with Oliver Queen's most trusted superhero partner: Hal Jordan, a.k.a. Green Lantern. However, with a recent statement from "Arrow" producer Marc Guggenheim, it seems like all of that is likely to change at some point in the not-too-distant future, starting with the Ferris Air jet logo from the "Green Lantern" film making an appearance in the season finale.

"I would never say never, it's certainly something that we've talked about," Guggenheim reveals in a recent interview with TV Guide. "As with all DC characters, we have to figure out a way for those characters to fit within our 'Arrow' universe, but when you consider the importance that Hal Jordan plays in the Green Arrow comics, it's certainly one of those names that we've discussed a great deal." So how exactly would Hal Jordan play into the "Arrow" universe? Click past the jump to find out!

ABC Picks Up 'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.,' 7-Second Teaser Emerges

by Brett White

As if there was ever any doubt, ABC has ordered "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." to series. ABC ordered a pilot for the series back in August, thus beginning the long journey to this moment, filled with casting, resurrection and speculation.

In addition to getting picked up, a seven second teaser has emerged and can be viewed here (for now at least; it's getting taken off of video hosting sites left and right). The teaser is all kinds of awesome, if only because it shows found footage of what could be/most definitely is a blurry, rampaging Hulk. With the series starring a bunch of totally new characters, fans were starting to wonder if there'd be any room for existing Marvel heroes. This teaser proves that, yep, they're in there too.

NBC Passes On 'The Sixth Gun'

Posted 5/9/13 10:24 am EST by in News, Oni Press, TV

The Sixth Gun

by Brett White

It's a story that's become all too familiar. First a network options a comic book property, then they make a pilot, we all get our hopes up, and then the network passes on the pilot, crushing dreams in the process. And now "The Sixth Gun" has joined the ranks of "A.K.A. Jessica Jones," "Punisher," "Locke & Key," "Wonder Woman," "Amazon" and "Chew" as another abandoned comic book TV show. When you see that list and consider what might have been, it just gets really... depressing.

Oni Press' "The Sixth Gun" by Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt and Bill Crabtree has become a cult favorite and critical darling over the past few years, and its premise seems tailor made for a television series. And with NBC so down on its luck, a quirky show like "The Sixth Gun" with a built-in fanbase could have been just what the network needed. The series got a pilot order back in January, and then cast Laura Ramsey, Michiel Huisman and Elena Satine amongst others. This move comes as a bit of a shock considering how well comics-on-tv are doing right now, thanks to "The Walking Dead" and "Arrow."

'Arrow' Recap: Episode 1.22, 'Darkness On The Edge Of Town'

Posted 5/9/13 9:52 am EST by in DC Comics, Review, TV

Darkness on the Edge of Town

by Ryan Rigley

It's been a while since the Dark Archer has made an appearance in Starling City (since Christmas to be exact) But with only two episodes left this season, including last night's "Darkness on the Edge of Town," it makes complete sense that he'd pop back up just in time for his rematch with the hooded vigilante.

Malcolm Merlyn, as we learned in last week's episode, is plotting to level a 24 city block radius within Starling City by way of a mysterious earthquake machine manufactured by Unidac Industries, which is exactly where "Darkness on the Edge of Town" begins. Two scientists walk into a research lab only to discover that the Dark Archer has killed several of their co-workers (6 scientists and 2 security guards to be exact).
