We’ve known for years now, but it’s still unbelievable that Marvel’s Ant-Man is closer to release in theaters. Starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang (Ant-Man), Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym (Previous Ant-Man), and Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, the movie follows — oh wait, here’s the official synopsis:
Earlier today the trailer for Marvel’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron leaked online a week early. Rather than try to stop it, Marvel went ahead and officially released it, coupled with this tweet:
Marvel Studios is on the prowl for an actor to bring Doctor Strange to life. One of the names now making rounds is real human being, Ryan Gosling.
Despite earlier reports, there isn’t an Iron Man 4. But fret not! Besides The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark in The Avengers 3. And he’s in talks to join the cast in some other movie tentatively entitled, Captain America 3.
Marvel Studios is very busy; movies, television, and Netflix series. One of the new shows is Daredevil. It’s funny timing considering that Ben Affleck, who played the titular character in the movie, is now Batman. Anyway!
I already changed my tune on Fox’s show Gotham after seeing the first episode at Comic-Con. Now the show is official in its first season, a few episodes in, and I’m really liking it. A lot. If it wasn’t enough, they just cast their Harvey Dent.
Marvel may have the upper hand in theaters, but DC has a strong presence in television. The upcoming season will see the likes of Gotham, Flash, and Constantine joining the current lineup, and now DC is developing Supergirl for CBS. That would place four out of five broadcast networks airing DC shows. That’s not bad at all.
Deadpool started on a good and bad foot with Ryan Reynolds in the role but with the weird twist with how he ended up in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Rumors for a spinoff quickly began, which led to real news that a script was written by the guys who wrote Zombieland. Then came development hell. For years.
