What Marvel Character Will Vin Diesel Be Playing?

Derek

vin-diesel-avengers-2
Vin Diesel (an admitted big comics fan) admitted a few weeks ago that Marvel requested a meeting with him but didn’t offer any more info as to just what that meeting was about. Of course minds began racing about which Marvel movie franchise would the star of THE FAST & THE FURIOUS films be involved in with everything from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy to Black panther being tossed out there by speculative fans and reporters.
Then Diesel posted the above image along with this message on his Facebook page:

Marvel meeting today… Only the people in the room can tell you what was discussed…P.s. Thanks to Our page, for pushing to make it happen… you know I get tunnel vision with my work… and after that meeting today… wow!

Still not sold on the design for this character and have to say I liked the pre-post-production photos that leaked a few months ago more than I am liking the finished product.
and is it just me or is there a bit of an “homage” to other big screen villains from the past? Click onward to see who I am talking about.

Superman Loves Killing [SPOILER]

Derek

Henry-Cavill-Superman
A lot of pearl clutching and catching of the vapors has been happening with Superman fans since the opening of the MAN OF STEEL movie a few weeks ago largely because of an action that Superman takes at the end of the film. Turn back if you have yet to see the movie or have a general aversion to spoilers because there is a big one after the jump.

Man of Steel Is A Success So…What About Lex Luthor?

Derek

luthor
MAN OF STEEL is on track to net over $125 million bucks (which is huge especially for a 3 day/non-holiday weekend) and Warner Brothers has already greenlit the sequel. Now this movie is the first Superman film to not feature Lex Luthor since SUPERMAN 3 gave us Robert Vaughn and Richard Pryor as Superman’s adversaries even though we got glimpses of LuthorCorp building and trucks so we know Lex is a major player in this new Superman universe. the question to be asked though is: who should be Lex Luthor?

Henry Cavill Wants To Make A Superman/Batman Movie

Derek

superman-batman
In an interview with SFX, the MAN OF STEEL star says he’d be all for a World’s Finest movie that teamed up Superman with the Dark Knight:

I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict,” he tells SFX, “because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. I think that would make a great story.

So that instantly got my mind racing with thoughts of just who would be the Batman opposite Cavill’s Superman?

The New Fantastic Four Movie Starts Filming This Summer

Derek

ff
With the news that a filming for the new (rebooted) FANTASTIC FOUR movie was going to be starting this summer it got me to hoping that new director Josh Trank (CHRONICLE) will be able to eliminate the bad memories of those tragic two movies that starred Jessica Alba and The Commish. And considering that piss poor casting was responsible for 75% of what was wrong with the previous FF movies (bad scripts, direction and visual effects made up the other 25%) getting the right actors for the roles is going to be a big deal. Which led to this wishful casting post.

Four Actresses That Would Make A Better Storm Than Halle Berry

Derek

halle-berry-storma
There are very few things that comic book fans can agree on when discussing movie adaptations of their favorite books: THE DARK KNIGHT was dang near perfect, DAREDEVIL was a bit of a train wreck and Halle Berry as Storm in the X-MEN movies was just awful. So upon seeing the photo of Berry in full Storm costuming, that returning X-MEN director Bryan Singer tweeted just fills me with dread. With the changes that were made to the established cinematic continuity by the last X-MEN movie my hopes were up that the opportunity would be taken to rectify the dismal casting decision of hiring Berry to play Storm but alas it was not to be. That won’t stop me, however, from doing my own wishful casting of actresses that would be much better in the role than Halle Berry though.
