Wonder Woman Comes To 'Smallville: Season 11'

Posted 5/10/13 4:45 pm EST by in DC Comics, News

FROM MTV GEEK

DC Comics' continuation of the fan-favorite (and long-running) CW series "Smallville" has ambitiously integrated much of the classic DC Universe into the show's separate mythos. The comic book has introduced Clark Kent to Batman and, as MTV Geek found out in an exclusive interview with writer Bryan Q. Miller, Wonder Woman will soon pay a visit.

"When we first meet Diana [in 'Smallville: Season 11'], she isn't being called 'Wonder Woman' just yet. She's got a very specific mission. There's a very big reason that she left the island, which we'll eventually cover. Does she have the bracelets? Oh, yes. Like you see on the cover. And pants, of course. Regarding the rest of her 'traditional' look - something tells me she might find her way to a lasso and some armor by the time all is said and done!"

For the rest of the interview and a full look at "Smallville's" Wonder Woman, head on over to MTV Geek!

New 'Man Of Steel' TV Spot Puts Earth In Serious Peril

Posted 5/10/13 3:30 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Video

by Brett White

If 2006's "Superman Returns" was all about emotion, then by comparison, this summer's "Man of Steel" looks to be all about action. And yes, there'll still be plenty of emotions in Zack Snyder's Superman movie (remember Zod's scream?), but the newest UK TV spot shows off some of the most epic action scenes we've seen. There are some new shots in the film, including one presumably Kryptonian ship violently landing on Earth and fighter jets engaging enemy combatants over the Metropolis skyline. People are running! Jumping! Fleeing! Fighting! Screaming! And flying!

Superman is definitely the most powerful superhero gracing the silver screen this summer, and it looks like he's going to have his hands full. Check out the TV spot below!

'Avengers 2' Rumor: Marvel Eyeing Saoirse Ronan For Scarlet Witch?

Posted 5/10/13 11:45 am EST by in Marvel, Rumor

Saoirse Ronan Scarlet Witch

by Brett White

It's worth a mention up top that this seems to be the rumoriest of rumors, but it's about the Avengers and, well, that movie is so highly anticipated that even rumors are worth getting excited about at this point.

Super Hero Hype has heard from an unnamed source that Marvel has started looking for actors to play new additons Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in "The Avengers 2." Irish actress Saoirse Ronan is said to be the prototypical actress for Scarlet Witch, while Quicksilver's only qualifiers are "euro" and "edgy." Both Joss Whedon and Kevin Feige confirmed the duo's involvement in the sequel, even if the latter tempered expectations by stating that the script is still in the very early stages. But if this rumor has any truth to it, it looks like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have a pretty good shot of assembling in 2015.

'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

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.

'X-Men: Days Of Future Past': Professor X Joins Supertramp

Posted 5/9/13 5:37 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Photos, Twitter Report

Professor X

by Brett White

I thought that the future X-Men's wardrobe was shocking? I hadn't seen anything yet. Bryan Singer has tweeted the first look at one of the 1973 X-Men and boy is it 1973. Like Foghat/Eagles/Supertramp level 1973. This movie is not messing around when it comes to period authenticity.

James McAvoy is shown hanging out on set, sitting in what we can only assume is Patrick Stewart's Professor X wheelchair, if only because it's so modern looking. The whole package is just beyond belief. The hair, the beard, the shirt and pants. Forget whatever Xavier said in "X-Men: First Class," this wardrobe is a groovy mutation.

Check out the full tweet and picture below. Warning: Professor X might look a lot like your dad did in those pictures he's embarrassed about.

'Uncanny X-Force' Comes To Life In Los Angeles

Posted 5/9/13 5:02 pm EST by in Marvel, Video

FROM MTV GEEK

Sure Fox may be preoccupied with two high-profile X-Men films (this year's "The Wolverine" and 2014's "X-Men: Days of Future Past"), but this video makes a strong case for a big screen adaptation of "Uncanny X-Force." The Marvel Comics series by writer Sam Humphries and artist Ron Garney has taken an unlikely quartet of mutants - Storm, Psylocke, Puck and Spiral - and thrown them into Los Angeles. And much like how last year's "Marvel's the Avengers" painstakingly recreated the area around Manhattan's iconic Grand Central Station, writer Sam Humphries takes MTV Geek on a tour of locations rendered faithfully by artist Ron Garney in the comic's first four issues.

Check out the video below or over at MTV Geek, and imagine Bishop throwing down with X-Force in the very locations they're walking through. It's incredibly rad.
