Avengers Movie Awards

by Brett White

Even if you caught all the "Avengers" goodness onstage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, you'll be thrilled to know that there was even more going on backstage. MTV's Josh Horowitz spoke with the attending Avengers-family members Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Joss Whedon and Best Villain winner Tom Hiddleston moments after their big Movie of the Year win.

Whedon gave another update on the painstaking process of writing "Avengers 2," saying, "It's going well. "It is. I'm very excited about it. I think it might be a better movie."

How a film can be better than the movie just crowned MTV's Movie of the Year? We'll have to wait until 2015 to find out.

Xavier

Old Man Xavier is about to stage a comeback — and he's got a brand new outfit just for the occasion!

As he's done with somewhat astonishing frequency over the last several weeks and months, director Bryan Singer has taken to Twitter once again to reveal new secrets about "X-Men: Days of Future Past," his first time directing an X-movie since "X2: X-Men United." This latest revelation is perhaps the greatest to date, too: Patrick Stewart back in action as Professor X.

Joss Whedon: 'The Avengers 2' Is A 'Glorious Challenge'

Posted 4/15/13 9:58 am EST by in Marvel, News

Joss Whedon

by Brett White

After being Biebered (that's the opposite of humbled, y'all) at last night's MTV Movie Awards, "Marvel's the Avengers" director Joss Whedon worked the crowd into an uproarious applause by just mentioning 2015's "Avengers 2." Since that first film shattered all box office records to become literally one of the biggest financial successes of all time, it's not surprising that fans want more.

Prior to winning the Golden Popcorn for Movie of the Year, Whedon spoke with Total Film magazine about his take on the sequel and how he's mentally preparing for it.

"The only pressure is the pressure that is there every time I do a new project," explained Whedon. "Is it going to be good? It is going to be different? Is there even a reason to make another one? Is there a reason for this to be my next thing? Can I pull it off?"

'Man Of Steel': General Zod Delivers A Message In New TV Spot

Posted 4/15/13 9:15 am EST by in DC Comics, Hot Stuff, News, Video

by Brett White

It may not have much in the way of clear footage, but this new TV spot for "Man of Steel" still sheds a lot of light on the upcoming Superman film. The clip features an ominous, static-y image of General Zod wearing his alien helmet and giving Superman an ultimatum. The ultimatum threatens to put the people of Earth in harm's way, thus giving us a glimpse at Zod's master plan. Just judging by this threatening voice over alone, "Man of Steel" seems to have much more punching-potential than "Superman Returns." The spot also ditches the previous trailers' more contemplative and serious tone, switching that out for a creepier, more thrilling angle. I have to say, this is the clip that finally got me excited about "Man of Steel."

Check out General Zod's full message below.

'Marvel's The Avengers' 'Burdened With Glorious Popcorn' At 2013 MTV Movie Awards

Posted 4/14/13 11:51 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards

Avengers Best Fight

by Brett White

Last night's 2013 MTV Movie Awards were an explosive celebration of 2012's films, and that celebration wouldn't be complete without some "Avengers." Luckily Earth's Mightiest Heroes took home a few Golden Buckets for saving the Earth from Loki's invading army in last year's mega-blockbuster, "Marvel's the Avengers." The film took home Best Fight, Best Villain and Movie of the Year, becoming the most awarded film of the night.

"We are humbled to be standing here," said director Joss Whedon while claiming the award for Movie of the Year. "We're not humbled, we won. What's the opposite of humbled? We're Biebered to be standing here." Whedon accepted the award alongside Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson and Tom Hiddleston.

'X-Men Days Of Future Past': Hello Cerebro!

Posted 4/12/13 5:03 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Photos, Twitter Report

Bryan Singer Cerebro

by Brett White

Bryan Singer does a pretty good job of keeping fans up to date on the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" production schedule, tweeting out casting announcements and rad videos of Ian McKellen winking. His latest tweet gives fans a glimpse at we can only assume is an old friend: Cerebro.

The director himself is shown outside of a spherical set, which we assume is Cerebro (a.k.a. the spherical set). The set piece is monstrous, just the right size to help telepathic mutants make contact with any mutant mind on Earth. We can also assume that this is the original trilogy Cerebro and not the more low-tech version shown in "X-Men: First Class." Unless, of course, Professor X and friends have made some upgrades in the decade that's passed in-universe since the last film.

Check out the full tweet below!

Christian Bale

by Brett White

When Christian Bale gets a nomination for doing shirtless push-ups in a prison-pit, you know you're dealing with the MTV Movie Awards. Bale's Batman joins three other buff dudes (and one teddy bear) in the Best Shirtless Performance category. One thing's for sure, though: Batman's only shirtless because he has a city to save and has to get back into peak physical condition. What about you, Magic Mike? Are you shirtless for such a grand cause? Didn't think so!

To prepare you for this Sunday's MTV Movie Awards, here is Bale's shirtless performance as Bruce Wayne in "The Dark Knight Rises." Don't forget to vote for your favorite and tune in to the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, Sunday April 14th at 9 p.m.

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' Is A 'Different Animal', Say Screenwriters

Posted 4/12/13 2:59 pm EST by in Marvel, News

Captain America

by Brett White

Captain America's week keeps on getting better! A new interview from /Film with the screenwriters behind "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Thor: The Dark World" has brought a ton of new info about both films to light. Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely previously wrote "Captain America: The First Avenger" before being brought in to polish "Thor: The Dark World" in addition to writing the "Captain America" sequel.

"Cap is much more about realism. They’re tonally quite different genres, almost, so things get a lot more way out in Thor so the chance of tonal overlap is pretty slim," says Markus.

Mc Feely adds, "It’ll feel like a different genre, we can say that. We’re very proud of the first one because it was our love letter, and Joe Johnston's love letter, to Indiana Jones, so it had that Forties vibe to it. This is much more of a modern conspiracy political thriller. So it's a fast ride. The action will fell commensurate. You’ll see Cap fight in a way that you have never seen before, or at least not for him. The DNA is the same, but the animal is different."
