Marvel release first movie poster of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Marvel studios just release first official movie poster of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In a true spider-fashion, the poster features an unmasked upside-down Miles Morales and appears to be dividing “Spider-People” into two groups.

On his left are the “Spiders” who are friendly with Morales which includes Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen, Scarlet Spider and Spider-Punk; while on his right are the “Spiders” who attacked Morales as shown in the trailer released last Dec 14th, which includes Spider-Man 2099, the pregnant Jessica Drew/Spider-woman. We also see other spiders like Spider-Cop, Spider-Man Unlimited, Spider-Man India, Takuya Yamashiro (a.k.a. the Japanese Spider-Man), Spider-Woman, Peter B. Parker/Spider-Man.

It’s still unclear why the other “Spider=people” are aggressive towards Miles Morales but it appears to be related to the “multiverse” and this “new threat.”

If you missed the first trailer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, then go and watch it here.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, from a screenplay by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. The film cast includes Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson. Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya. Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez. Greta Lee. Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone. Shea Whigham and Oscar Isaac.

Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman, after all!

December 17, 2022

After announcing that he (Henry Cavill) will return as Superman last October, Cavill again announced that he will be returning as Superman.

Here’s what he said in an Instagram post;

In a tweet, James Gunn explained why they’re changing Henry Cavill as Superman, saying that the new Superman that they have in mind “will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill.” He added that they’re a big fan of Henry Cavill and that they’re exploring “a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.’

Since becoming co-chairpersons and CEOs of DC Films, all eyes are on James Gunn and how he can build a connected DC universe that can rival the MCU. It looks like James Gunn wants to start fresh in his vision of a connected DC universe.

Jenna Ortega as White Tiger in Daredevil Born Again

Unless you’re living under a rock, you know that Jenna Ortega is the hot new star from Netflix’s Wednesday, an Addams’ Family spin-off. So it’s not surprising if an artists uses Ortega’s likeness as his/her art piece, which is what artist Josh Clements (@clements.ink) just did by posting a fanart of Jenna Ortega as MCU’s White Tiger.

Josh Clements’s fan art shows that Jenna Ortega donning the white suit against a red silouhet New York skyline, with her jade green eyes and claws, a reference to the color of Jade Tiger Amulet, the source of White Tiger’s power.

Created by Brian Michael Bendis (writer) and Alex Maleev (artist), Angela del Toro/White Tiger, is a 4th character to use the name White Tiger. Angela del Toro/White Tiger is the niece of the original White Tiger, Hector Ayala and an FBI agent.

It’s been reported that White Tiger will appear in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series but the reports have been confirmed by Marvel or Disney.

Lucas Films drops the Official Trailer of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

December 10, 2022

It looks like we are getting one last Indiana Jones film from Harrison Ford, as Lucas Films release the official trailer of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The 1 min 45 secs run time of the trailer seems short when you consider that not much is revealed in the trailer.

In the video, we can hear the voice of Indy’s old friend Sallah (played by John Rhys-Davies), asking if missed their old adventurous and dangerous life, then an old and retired ‘Prof’ Jones immediately replied “those days have come and gone.”

Trailer have all the element of a classic Indiana Jones film; the catchy music, the humor and the usual trip to an unknown Middle Eastern nation.

Here’s the premise of the film (Wikipedia);

In 1969, American archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones lives against the backdrop of the Space Race. Jones is uneasy over the fact that the U.S. Government has recruited former Nazis to help beat the Soviet Union in the competition to make it to space. His goddaughter, Helena, accompanies him on his journey.[2][3] Meanwhile, Jürgen Voller, a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved with the moon-landing program, wishes to make the world into a better place as he sees fit.

This will be the 5th Indiana Jones film and at the age of 80, Harrison Ford looks great in the video and its unclear if this film will be used to expand the Indiana Jones franchise, so that new character can take over or explored.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is scheduled to be in theaters on June 30th 2023. Harrison Ford will reprise his role as the legendary archaeologist, it is directed by James Mangold and co-written by Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth and James Mangold.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will also star;

  • Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena, Jones’ goddaughter
  • Antonio Banderas as Renaldo, a friend of Indy
  • John Rhys-Davies as Salleh
  • Mads Mikkelsen as Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi during World War II who has been hired by NASA and seeks to use the Apollo moon landing program for his own gain
  • Shaunette Renée Wilson as Mason, a government agent
  • Thomas Kretschmann as Colonel Weber, a Nazi working with Voller in 1944.
  • Toby Jones as Basil, an ally of Jones
  • Boyd Holbrook as Klaber, Voller’s nefarious right-hand man in 1969.

Marvel Studios drops the official trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

December 3, 2022

Marvel just release the official trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, which the studio first release at Brazil Comic Con.

The trailer (below) focuses on the origin story of Rocket and his Otter friend Lylla, we also saw a glimpse of how Will Poulter’s Adam Warlock looks like and Chukwudi Iwuji portrayal of the High Evolutionary, a scientist specializing in evolution and who in the comics is Rocket’s creator. We can also see that Gamora is back as well as a “beefy” Groot, similar to the one we saw in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.

The tone of the film (or at least this new trailer), is giving a different jive from the previous GOTG films, since there are a number of instances in the trailer where we see the Guardians in tears and injured, of course there’s still the brand of comedy.

It has been reported that will be James Gunn last project with Marvel, since he will be moving to DC Studios as the co-chairpersons and CEOs, a position that he shares with Peter Safran.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 will be in theaters on May 5th, 2023 and will see the return of Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, Bradley Cooper as Rocket and Vin Diesel as Groot, Will Poulter as Adam Warlock. Sean Gunn will also reprise his role as Kraglin Obfonteri, a member of the Guardians and Yondu Udonta’s former second-in-command in the Ravagers, and Maria Bakalova voices Cosmo the Spacedog.

November 20, 2022

After it failed to reach an agreement with China’s Netease Games, US gaming giant, Blizzard Entertainment will suspend most, if not all of its services in China starting this January 2023. Both Netease Games and Blizzard Entertainment where not able to extend their 14-year licensing agreement, since started 2008.

It’s unclear how failed extension will affect both companies and but all is not lost, since Blizzard’s mobile game Diablo Immortal will continue operating under a separate agreement with NetEase.

Here’s the official announcement by Blizzard Entertainment;

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 16, 2022– Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. announced today that it will be suspending most Blizzard game services in mainland China due to the expiration of the current licensing agreements with NetEase, Inc. on January 23, 2023. This includes World of Warcraft®, Hearthstone®, Warcraft® III: Reforged, Overwatch®, the StarCraft® series, Diablo III®, and Heroes of the Storm®. Diablo Immortal® co-development and publishing is covered under a separate agreement between the two companies.

Blizzard Entertainment has had licensing agreements with NetEase since 2008, covering the publication of these Blizzard titles in China. The two parties have not reached a deal to renew the agreements that is consistent with Blizzard’s operating principles and commitments to players and employees, and the agreements are set to expire in January 2023.

We will suspend new sales in the coming days and Chinese players will be receiving details of how this will work soon. Upcoming releases for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, Hearthstone: March of the Lich King, and season 2 of Overwatch 2 will proceed later this year.

“We’re immensely grateful for the passion our Chinese community has shown throughout the nearly 20 years we’ve been bringing our games to China through NetEase and other partners,” said Mike Ybarra, president, Blizzard Entertainment. “Their enthusiasm and creativity inspire us, and we are looking for alternatives to bring our games back to players in the future.”

Partnership like this is not uncommon in the gaming industry, since Riot Games partnered with Chinese gaming company Tencent distribute League of Legends in the country before the Chinese company acquired Riot Games for around $400 million.

Watch – Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania trailer officially introduceing Kang the Conqueror as MCU’s latest villain

Watch – Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania trailer officially introduceing Kang the Conqueror as MCU’s latest villain

The film will bring back most of the major character from the previous two Ant-man movies; Paul Rudd reprising his role as Scott Lang, a now adult Cassie played by Kathryn Newton with Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, and Michael Douglas (Hank Pym) with Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne.

The trailer clearly shows the premise of the film where Cassie (Kathryn Newton) created a machine that “sends a signal down to the quantum realm” that advertently sends them all there. In the Quantum Realm, which is a totally different universe with its own laws of physics and wild life, and a microscopic civilization that’s more advanced than the “real” world they lived in.

We can also see a glimpse of MODOK, Bill Murray cast as an unknown villain and Jonathan Major’s Kang the Conqueror, who we first saw in Disney+ Loki series. We know that Kang is the next major MCU villain, so we can just assume that the “help” that Kang is asking from “Ant-man” is to escape the Quantum Realm into the “real” world.

Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania is set to release on on February 17th, 2023.

Lin, an undrafted Harvard graduate, shocked fans, stunned his teammates and galvanized Asians around the world when he scored 38 points at Madison Square Garden against the Los Angeles Lakers, solidifying Lin’s hot streak and the “Linsanity” craze.

A decade later, Lin’s stature as a groundbreaking, cultural icon stands in stark relief to the recent hate crimes against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. 38 At The Garden recognizes a pivotal moment in time for Lin and celebrates a phenomenon that was bigger than basketball for the world.

The HBO Original documentary short premieres Tuesday, October 11 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

September 17, 2022
Could there be an Eraserheads reunion?

All 4 members of the icon Filipino band posted the same cryptic image on their social media, could this the long awaited Eraserheads reunion that we have been waiting for? Eraserheads Frontman Ely Buendia, Buddy Zabala (bass), Marcus Adoro (lead guitar) and Raymund Marasigan (drummer) all posted on their IG account an image of the band’s logo – a backwards “E” – at around the same time.

Ely Buendia and Raymund Marasigan did not include any caption, while Buddy Zabala included “Let me hear you sing it.” – a line from their hit song with a Smile; Marcus Adoro on the other hand posted “Et me er u eng et” which more or less means nothing or a lot depending on how to decode it.

It’s anyone’s guess on what their posts means and I’m betting that this could be Ely fulfilling his promise that there will an Eheads reunion when then VP Leni run for public office.
