‘Captain America: Civil War’ Promo Revisits the Emotional Journey to a Superhero War
It’s hard not to think that Marvel’s latest promo for Captain America: Civil War was inspired by the fan-made “Road to Civil War” super-cut from a couple of weeks ago. Like that video, the official “The Past Is Prelude” teaser takes us through the evolution of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, from their first solo films all the way through Avengers: Age of Ultron and into Civil War. It’s much shorter than that fan-made super-cut, but it still packs an emotional punch.
Wolverine’s Military Records and Personal Journals Released by Canada
There were a lot of fake headlines and cutesy jokes floating around yesterday (April Fools’ Day, in case you were blissfully unaware), but you may have missed this one: Canada’s official library and archives released the personal journals and military records of one James “Logan” Howlett, better known to X-Men fans as Wolverine. Among the newly-”declassified” documents are some interesting facts about the famous mutant, including details on his time as a fur trader and a miner.
‘Deadpool’ Will Mouth Off on Blu-ray and DVD in May
Following its record-breaking and pleasantly surprising run at the box office, Deadpool is getting ready to invade your home on DVD and Blu-ray this May. We won’t get an unrated director’s cut of the Merc With a Mouth’s solo outing, and although bonus feature details are not yet available, you can go ahead and pre-order your very own copy of the anti-superhero’s hit film right now. As in, right this moment. You go do that. I’ll wait here.
New Photos From ‘Star Trek Beyond,’ ‘Suicide Squad,’ ‘Ghostbusters’ and More Summer Films
The summer movie season is about a month away, kicking off with Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War and continuing through August with Suicide Squad. There are other, non-superhero movies hitting theaters this summer, if you can believe it, and we have some new photos from those and several of this year’s other blockbuster offerings. You’re probably already properly excited for a lot of these movies thanks to their trailers, but if you’re eager for another sneak peek, these photos should do the trick.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ Star Zoe Saldana Shares Behind-the-Scenes Photos
If you’re suffering from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice fatigue, then these new photos from behind-the-scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 are just what the doctor ordered. They don’t show us much, but if you’re a fan of Zoe Saldana’s Gamora, then you’ll be happy to see the actress back in her green skin on the set of James Gunn’s intergalactic superhero sequel.
‘Batman vs. Superman’ Breaks a Bunch of Opening Records With $424 Million Worldwide
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had quite the weekend — not only did it break the March opening record previously held by The Hunger Games, but with $424 million worldwide, Zack Snyder’s epic now boasts the highest opening weekend for a Warner Bros. superhero movie. All those negative reviews predictably had zero effect on audiences, who flocked to see the long-awaited showdown between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel.
Captain America and Iron Man Walk ‘The Road to Civil War’ in This Marvel Supercut
The trailers for Captain America: Civil War have been great at building our anticipation for the epic battle that promises to drastically shake up the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve watched Captain America and Iron Man evolve from their respective solo film debuts all the way through Avengers: Age of Ultron, and this great new supercut traces that evolution throughout the first two phases of the MCU by combining footage from their previous films with scenes from their latest outing to build “The Road to Civil War.”
Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Will Explore Chewbacca’s Origins
Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s young Han Solo movie won’t arrive in theaters until 2018, which means we have quite a bit of time before we see anything concrete from the Star Wars spinoff. Lucasfilm hasn’t even announced who will play the young version of Harrison Ford’s iconic character — much less who or what else we might see in the film. We now know of at least one other character who will appear opposite whoever ends up piloting the Millennium Falcon, and it’s a friendly, furry face you’ll be quite happy to see.
‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot’ Review: Tina Fey Makes ‘Zero Dark Forty’ Very Watchable
Tina Fey has proven herself capable of elevating some fairly mediocre material (remember Admission? Of course you don’t), and while Whiskey Tango Foxtrot hardly presents a formidable challenge, it does put that theory to the test. The latest film from the directors of Crazy Stupid Love and Focus is just as glossy as its predecessors, but without the comedic vibrance of Fey, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot could have easily resulted in a spiritual successor to Eat, Pray, Love.
Zack Snyder Wants to Make a ‘300’-Style George Washington Movie Because Sure, Why Not
Zack Snyder is going to be pretty busy for the foreseeable future. In addition to releasing Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in March, the director is prepping Justice League: Part One before presumably heading right back into work for Part Two. That should keep him occupied until at least sometime in 2018, but what will Snyder do next? More superhero movies? Maybe. But he also has a non-DC flick on his mind, and while it sounds a bit crazy, it really shouldn’t surprise you.
‘Captain America: Civil War’ Debuts New High-Res Images to Help You Choose a Side
Superhero films are really into the whole “choose a side” thing this year. Batman and Superman, the X-Men and Apocalypse (okay, that’s easy — Oscar Isaac and Michael Fassbender’s side, obviously), and the most brutal super-battle of them all: Iron Man and Captain America. Civil War is coming, and while the trailers have given us plenty to consider in the fight between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, Marvel’s latest batch of images gives us more to contemplate.
‘The Wolverine’ Sequel Could Reunite Hugh Jackman With Liev Schreiber’s Sabretooth
With Deadpool, Fox successfully (like, really successfully — record-breaking-successfully) rebooted a character who had previously been horrifically adapted in another, lesser film, and they did so without recasting the role. Miracles do exist. Now that Ryan Reynolds’ Merc With a Mouth has been given a second cinematic life, could the same be done with another actor from X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Liev Schreiber, perhaps?
