Wonder Woman

by Brett White

With "Arrow" a success on the small screen and superheroes making big bucks on the big screen, it's no wonder that the CW is apparently giving one of the most iconic superheroes of all time a second chance. Entertainment Weekly reports that the prequel series centered around Wonder Woman, "Amazon," still has some life left in it despite not getting a pilot order in January.

"Oh God yes," said CW president Mark Pedowitz after being asked if The CW was still interested in a new Wonder Woman show. "It's being redeveloped. We don't want to produce something that doesn't do the franchise justice... It's the trickiest of all the DC characters."

'Arrow' Recap: Episode 1.23, 'Sacrifice'

Posted 5/16/13 9:15 am EST by in DC Comics, Review, TV

Arrow Sacrifice

by Ryan Rigley

Last night's explosive "Arrow" season finale kicked off, appropriately, with a callback to this season's pilot episode. As a desperate Robert Queen holds a gun to his temple, he tells his son Oliver to survive. Picking up exactly where last week's episode ended, "Sacrifice" opens on a beaten and bruised Oliver Queen, chained up in a dark room, as the evil Malcolm Merlyn thanks him for saving his life and makes fun of his inability to best him in combat.

In a flashback to the island of Lian Yu, Oliver and company watch on in horror as the Chinese aircraft slowly flies to its assured doom. Suddenly, Oliver breaks free stabbing his captive with ease. As Slade and Shado also break free of their restraints, Edward Fyres picks up his walkie talkie and orders his men to fire their missiles. Cut to present day, where Oliver manages to break free of his restraints and is saved by his trusty partner in crime: Diggle.

'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Reveals Time Slot, Promo Photos

Posted 5/14/13 2:15 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Marvel, News, Photos, TV

SHIELD

by Brett White

"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is starting to seem like the gift that keeps on giving. After debuting a 30 second trailer on Sunday night, the show has gone on to launch a significant internet presence and inspired more than a few "Who is J. August Richards playing" posts both here and elsewhere. Now "S.H.I.E.L.D." has revealed exactly which hour of the week we'll be blocking off for total immersion into Marvel's world come this fall. "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will air on ABC on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. as the lead-in to a pair of comedies, "The Goldbergs" and "Trophy Wife."

And if a time slot isn't enough to hold you over, how about promo photos? Like, a lot of promo photos? ABC has released a few stills from the pilot and a ton of photos highlighting each principle cast member. Above you can see Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) possibly interrogating possible Rising Tide contributor Skye (Chloe Bennet), while Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) looks on. We don't know much about the pilot, so at this point anything is possible. Check out the rest of the photos below!

'Arrow' Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg Teases Season Two's Big Showdown

Posted 5/14/13 1:00 pm EST by in DC Comics, interviews, TV

Arrow

by Ryan Rigley

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.

This trailer brings the goods, and one possibly big reveal.

Here are 9 must-see moments from the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." trailer.

'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.
