New 'Arrow' Photo, Fall Schedule Info Revealed

Posted 5/17/12 9:24 am EST by in DC Comics, News, TV


Ladies and gentlemen, bows and arrows at the ready: Oliver Queen's coming back to television, and he's already got himself a time slot.

"Arrow," the new TV series based on DC Comics' Green Arrow character, has been scheduled for Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET, with the exact premiere date still to be determined. The Stephen Amell-starring series will be teamed up with veteran genre show "Supernatural," set to air at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday nights. It's not the "Smallville"-"Arrow" one-two punch that DC fans would die over, no, but it's a pretty powerful pair all the same.

'Avengers' Has Made Disney And RDJ Lots Of Money

Posted 5/16/12 4:41 pm EST by in Marvel, News


The Avengers

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that "The Avengers" places pretty high on the worldwide box office list based on the fact it's already raked in over $1 billion worldwide, but it is now the ninth highest grossing movie of all time. Not too bad for a film that's been out for less than two weeks.

So it stands to reason that "The Avengers" will probably make even more money during the rest of its run in theaters. Experts are saying that the ensemble Marvel superhero film is slated to pass "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2's" $1.32 billion gross, placing it as the number three highest grossing movie of all time.

Posted 5/16/12 1:59 pm EST by in Marvel, News


The cast for "Iron Man 3" keeps getting stronger and stronger. Already the list of new recruits includes Sir Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall. Returning players Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle are all in the mix as well. Today, we can add a new actor to the cast list, someone who isn't a big name like the aforementioned folks, but is a very bright star all the same.

James Badge Dale, best known for television efforts "The Pacific" and "Rubicon," has been cast in the third "Iron Man" film, reports Deadline. He'll play a villain named Savin, who eagle-eyed fans will quickly identify as Lieutenant-Colonel Eric Savin, aka Coldblood.

'Walking Dead' Obstacle Course Coming To Comic-Con

Posted 5/16/12 12:26 pm EST by in Image Comics, TV


TWD

"The Walking Dead's" 100th issue comes out on July 11, a date that just happens to be the same day as San Diego Comic-Con's Wednesday preview night. Though we doubt that series creator Robert Kirkman planned that perfect overlap back when he first started writing about the zombie apocalypse, he has announced today that he and his Skybound imprint are going to take advantage of it by holding a zombie obstacle course during Comic-Con at San Diego's Petco Park.

The news comes thanks to Entertainment Weekly, who revealed that the event will be called "The Walking Dead Escape: Live the Apocalypse." All fans -- not just Comic-Con attendees -- will be able to participate as a survivor in avoiding zombies in the "evacuation zone" by climbing, crawling and sliding their way through the obstacle course.

Joss Whedon Is 'Very Torn' About Directing 'Avengers 2'

Posted 5/16/12 11:26 am EST by in Marvel, News


Joss Whedon

Marvel hasn't necessarily become known for director consistency. After Jon Favreau directed the first two "Iron Man" movies, the studio turned to Shane Black to helm the third. Kenneth Branagh directed "Thor," and now Alan Taylor is in charge of "Thor 2." Joe Johnston did "Captain America: The First Avenger," and it's looking unlikely he'll be back for its sequel.

So will Joss Whedon be the exception to the rule? Maybe, especially considering the success "The Avengers" has had since its release. But the real question is whether Whedon will want to come back for the sequel. The Los Angeles Times posed the question to Whedon, and his answer might surprise you.

Chris Hemsworth Teases Loki's Redemption In 'Thor 2'

Posted 5/16/12 9:35 am EST by in Marvel, News


Loki, Loki, Loki… you got some 'splaining to do!

The trickster god brought his malicious brand of mischief to bear upon Earth in "The Avengers," showering the citizens of New York City with Chitauri and leviathans galore. Thankfully, Earth's mightiest heroes were on hand to stop him, and now Loki's serving as Thor's prisoner, on his way back to Asgard even more disgraced than when he last left it.

Can Loki win his way back into Odin and Thor's good graces? Seems hard to believe, but we'll find out for sure one way or the other in "Thor 2," hitting theaters in November 2013. MTV News caught up with leading man Chris Hemsworth at the "Snow White and the Huntsman" premiere in London this week, and he shed some light on how the dynamic between Thor and his vicious little brother might play out in the developing sequel.

'Jessica Jones,' 'Punisher' TV Series Not Moving Forward

Posted 5/16/12 7:55 am EST by in Marvel, News, TV


Jessica Jones

The Jade Giant's small screen prospects took a turn for the optimistic yesterday when ABC Entertianment President Paul Lee revealed that a "Hulk" television series will hopefully be ready for the 2013 - 2014 season. But where Bruce Banner rises, Jessica Jones falls, it appears.

"AKA Jessica Jones," based on the "Alias" comic books penned by Brian Michael Bendis, will not be moving forward at ABC, Lee confirmed in a conference call (as reported by the New York Daily News). No particular reason was given for the decision to pass on the project. Lee added that while "Jessica Jones" is not dead, it's no longer a top priority for the network.

"Other projects are more toward the front of the queue now," he said.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Director Opens Up About His Inspiration

Posted 5/15/12 5:23 pm EST by in Marvel, Video


Spider-Man

It goes without saying that directing a film featuring a beloved character like, say, the Amazing Spider-Man comes with power. But do you know what comes with power? Marc Webb certainly does.

In a new video feature from Sony's make.believe campaign, the director of the upcoming Marvel reboot, "The Amazing Spider-Man" explains what it's like to create on the scale of the wall-crawler.

"In terms of creating something like 'Spider-Man,' there's a level of complexity, which it can be satisfying and challenging all at the same time," Webb said. "First, you have to feel something. You have to feel a sense about what you're trying to create. Once you have that feeling, it's about protecting that all the way through the process."

Check out the new video after the jump!
