New BTS Photo Of James Cameron’s ‘Avatar 2’ Shows Humans Battling On Pandora

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 22:43:18 GMT

A new behind the scenes image of James Cameron’s upcoming film, Avatar 2 shows humans battling on Pandora.

It’s been a long road to get to the James Cameron sequel but we’re not quite their yet. The first film became the highest-grossing film in history, beating out James Cameron’s previous film, Titanic. The film grossed over $2.7B and was only just beaten out by Avengers: Endgame thanks to the film’s theatrical re-release. The film was originally set to be released next year but was pushed back to 2022 due to concerns over the coronavirus. However, the cast and crew of the film are still hard at work.

The first Avatar film ended with the humans being driven off Pandora. Some had theorized that the second film would revolve around the human forces retaliating against Jake Sully and the Na’vi. In the decade since the film was released, James Cameron himself has constantly reworked and rewritten just what shape and form these sequels will take. But, at the very least, this upcoming sequel will involve humans.

In a recent post, Jon Landau shared a behind the scenes image of human characters battling something offscreen in the film in what appears to be Pandora. You can see the full image below:

Here is the official synopsis for the first Avatar film:

AVATAR takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home. James Cameron, the Oscar-winning director of Titanic, first conceived the film 15 years ago, when the means to realize his vision did not exist yet. Now, after four years of production, AVATAR, a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

Avatar 2 is currently set to be released on December 16th of 2022. Stay tuned for all the latest news on James Cameron’s upcoming film and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original video content.

‘Star Wars’: Daisy Ridley’s Rey Annihilates Storm Troopers In ‘Rise Of Skywalker’ ...

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 22:09:04 GMT

An early piece of concept art shows Daisy Ridley’s Rey annihilating a horde of Storm Troopers singlehandedly in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was a film that sadly had something of a troubled production. After the film’s original director, Colin Trevorrow, was booted off the project, Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams was brought on to finish up the project. Whatever Trevorrow was planning, however, was completely scrapped leading to a production that was rushed which sadly showed in the final product.

One such thing that constantly changed was the backstory of Daisy Ridley’s Rey. Star Wars: The Last Jedi made the bold decision to have Rey just be a random woman who happened to get caught up in the battles between the Jedi and the Sith. Rise of Skywalker opted to retcon that but even up until the day of shooting it had not been decided just what that retcon would be. But, at least early on in the project, Daisy Ridley’s Rey would have displayed a terribly powerful ability with the force.

In a recent post, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker concept artist Adam Brockbank showed an early concept image for the film, that features Daisy Ridley’s Rey annihilating a group of Storm Troopers with a blow of the force. It is unclear just when this scene was going to take place in the film, with Brockbank only referring to the setting as a scorched planet:

Here is the official synopsis for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker:

Abrams, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker stars Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd, Naomi Ackie, Richard E.

Disneyland Unveils New ‘Black Panther’ Mural Honoring Chadwick Boseman

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 21:05:46 GMT

Disneyland has unveiled a new Black Panther mural honoring the film’s late star Chadwick Boseman.

Late last month we were all shocked and shaken to learn that Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman had died after a four-year battle with cancer. The news came as a shock to everyone as the actor had opted to keep his illness private. Since then the actor has been honored by official Marvel Studios artists and on the covers of comics. But now Disneyland is honoring the late star.

Despite only appearing in four Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the impact that Chadwick Boseman made as Black Panther was huge. The film was, by far, one of the best-reviewed MCU films of all time and became the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Now Disney is immortalizing the character and actor in a new mural at the happiest place on earth:

This one is special. My King Chad tribute is now on a wall on display at Downtown Disney. It is a full circle moment for me: my final two projects as a Disney Imagineer last summer were working on the Children’s Hospital project and the Avengers Campus. To millions of kids, T'Challa was a legend larger than life, and there was no one more worthy to fill those shoes than Chadwick Boseman. I'm so thankful to be able to honor Chadwick's life and purpose in this way. I am grateful to the Disney family for being so supportive of my journey as an artist. @waltdisneyimagineering @disney @marvelstudios @disneyland #LongLiveTheKing #KingChad #WakandaForever #Phambili #DowntownDisney #BlackPanther #ChadwickBoseman #RIPChadwick #WDI

Chadwick Boseman began his acting career in television, landing his first role in 2003. Boseman’s big break came much later with his portrayal of baseball legend Jackie Robinson in the Brian Helgeland-directed biopic 42. He then gained further recognition for his work as James Brown in Tate Taylor’s Get on Up.

James Gunn Confirms Peacemaker Series Won’t Affect ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 3’

Following his roles in Jackie Robinson and James Brown, Chadwick Boseman was cast as T’Challa in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He made his debut as the iconic Marvel hero in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War before reprising the role in the standalone film Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler. Boseman’s Black Panther was then seen in Avengers: Infinity War and its follow-up Endgame.

Chadwick Boseman was last seen in Spike Lee’s Netflix film Da 5 Bloods. Prior to that, Boseman starred in the Brian Kirk-directed action thriller 21 Bridges, which was produced by Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame helmers Joe and Anthony Russo. His final film, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, is expected to hit Netflix later this year.

Henry Cavill Says He Is Not Shooting New Scenes For Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 20:30:58 GMT

Superman actor Henry Cavill has revealed that he is not shooting any new scenes for Zack Snyder’s upcoming cut of Justice League for HBO Max.

Earlier this year, Warner Bros dropped a bombshell on DC fans everywhere when it was revealed that the fabled Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League would be released on HBO Max sometime in 2021. Yesterday we were given more startling news when we discovered that Zack Snyder would be shooting additional material to fill out the upcoming cut. However, it looks like these additional scenes may be shot without Superman star Henry Cavill.

‘Batwoman’: First Look At Javicia Leslie On Set Of Arrowverse Series

Henry Cavill’s role as Superman has been in question for some time. The role has yet to officially be recast and the actor had, at one point, been in negotiations with Warner Bros for additional appearances as the Man of Steel. But, it seems that whatever these negotiations are they may not include Zack Snyder’s upcoming cut of Justice League.

While speaking to Collider, Henry Cavill was asked if he would be returning to do any reshoots for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The Superman star answered with a firm no:

“Not shooting anything additional. No. It’s all stuff that has been already done. Obviously I don’t know how things are going to evolve and change and adapt depending on now a different length of movie and whatever may happen in post-production. Whatever lessons may be learned from what is it four years since Justice League came out? Four years’ worth of fan reaction. For me…I’m now just watching the party.”

It is worth noting that this interview was done before the announcement came that Zack Snyder would be shooting new material for Justice League. The ever-evolving nature of his cut of Justice League means that Henry Cavill may have been unable to say anything or did not possess the latest information. For now, however, it appears that whatever reshoots that are happening are going to go on without Superman.

James Gunn Developing ‘The Suicide Squad’ Prequel Series With John Cena

Here is the official synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Justice League:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Cut is set to hit HBO Max in 2021. Stay tuned for all the latest news on Zack Snyder’s upcoming cut of Justice League and Henry Cavill’s involvement with it and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more original content.

See ‘The Batman’ Star Robert Pattinson Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 18:53:12 GMT

An impressive new concept design imagines The Batman star Robert Pattinson as Daniel Craig’s James Bond successor after No Time To Die.

With Daniel Craig saying goodbye to his time as James Bond after Cary Joji Fukunaga’s No Time To Die, fans have been debating for years over who should take over the mantle for the next era of the series. After one artist saw Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, they saw one choice: The Batman star Robert Pattinson. Although it could be easily argued that John David Washington could also make an excellent version of the spy, Pattinson is also perfectly suited for the role. However, he might be a bit busy with his commitments to The Batman.

Stunning New Trailer For Daniel Craig’s ‘No Time To Die’ Arrives Online

The Batman star Robert Pattinson played the enigmatic operative called Neil in the Christopher Nolan science-fiction epic, and the actor masterfully brought the spy’s tactical and militaristic capability to the screen in charismatic fashion. But in the concept design from dogotal artist ‘Barrett.Digital’ on Instagram, Robert Pattinson dons a sleek white suit jacket and wields the iconic Walther PPK to become the next James Bond after Daniel Craig. The actor would definitely fit the role and his Tenet performance is a perfect example of that. And from what we’ve seen in The Batman trailer, Pattinson has the range to completely lead a franchise by himself. Take a look at the fan edit below.

The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, No Time to Die stars Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Lea Seydoux, Rory Kinnear, Jeffrey Wright, Rami Malek, Ana de Armas, Lashana Lynch, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik and Dali Benssalah.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ Stunt Coordinator Reveals Brutal Ronin Rehearsal Video

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 16:43:34 GMT

One of the stunt coordinators on Avengers: Endgame revealed a brutal rehearsal video for Ronin’s fight in Tokyo against the Yakuza.

One of the most fascinating elements of Avengers: Endgame was seeing just how different the world had become in the five years since Thanos snapped away half of all life in the universe. For some of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, it meant wandering down a much darker path. Clint Barton moved on from his Hawkeye personality into Ronin, warring against organized crime and brutally murdering criminals in revenge for the death of his family. We recently got to see alternate concept art for Ronin’s outfit, which delivered an incredibly detailed design for the character.

Scarlett Johansson Addresses Black Widow’s Death In ‘Avengers: Endgame’

In Ronin’s most memorable moment in Avengers: Endgame, he chased a horde of Yakuza members through the streets of Tokyo, slaughtering every criminal he comes across. Ronin takes on Hiroyuki Sanada’s Yakuza boss in a vicious street duel, before Black Widow confronts him. But a new rehearsal video revealed by the Avengers: Endgame stunt coordinator shows off just how brutal the Ronin fight could have been. Take a look below.

Lashana Lynch Says ‘No Time To Die’ Fixes Female James Bond Characters

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 16:19:37 GMT

No Time To Die star Lashana Lynch says the upcoming James Bond film fixes the franchise’s trend of stereotypical portrayals of women.

It’s fair to say that many of the women in the James Bond franchise have either been either a macguffin leading the legendary spy to a specific plot point, a femme fatale or just an object of 007’s desires. Very rarely are they characterized in a way that makes them fully functioning, three-dimensional characters. But according to No Time To Die star Lashana Lynch, the latest film rectifies the long-running stereotypes.

Latest ‘No Time To Die’ Image Offers New Look At Rami Malek’s James Bond Villain

Lashana Lynch’s point echoes what fellow No Time To Die star Lea Seydoux mentioned back in April when she explained that the female characters aren’t there to satisfy James Bond. Lynch’s role in the film will flip the generic stereotypes, as from the first footage we’ve seen so far she’s arguably more capable than the spy himself (she jokes about shooting him in the one knee that works properly, remember?). The actress explained to TechRadar that it comes with a sense of empowerment in the film, which is incredibly important for the younger generation.

“I think with women’s current agency, [it’s] the way in which they view themselves and the way in which they portray themselves as being – with the women that I’ve been in contact with – completely authentic and completely knowing that they’re enough. You see that oozing through the characters in this, both the female characters that have [already] existed within the franchise, and the brand new ones like myself. You just have this whole sense of empowerment that is really important to feel when you’re going to work, but also important to show younger generations coming up.”

‘Game Of Thrones’ Showrunners Talk Cutting Lady Stoneheart Out

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 15:50:13 GMT

After the horrifying Red Wedding finale in Game of Thrones season 3, many fans were disappointed that Lady Stoneheart never made an appearance in future seasons.

It’s fair to say that when it came to an end, Game of Thrones had disappointed many fans (and even stars of the show) by how it rushed through George R. R. Martin’s books and what it also skipped out. One of those elements was Lady Stoneheart, the undead version of Catelyn Stark. As fans will already know (and painfully remember), Catelyn was murdered at the Red Wedding along with her son Robb Stark and his wife, Talisa Stark, who was carrying their unborn child. It was a horrific moment that was seared into audiences’ brains forever more. But in the books, Catelyn is resurrected as Lady Stoneheart to exact her bloody revenge on those responsible.

Naomi Watts Still Can’t Talk About Canceled ‘Game Of Thrones’ Prequel

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed a few specific reasons why Lady Stoneheart was left out of the series. It largely had to do with the fact they were already planning to kill (and subsequently resurrect) Jon Snow in the future, and by adding another resurrection into the mix would’ve cheapened the entire ordeal. Plus, bringing back Michelle Fairley as Lady Stoneheart could have potentially ruined her character’s arc and the actress’ impact in the role. They also mentioned that they didn’t want to ruin whatever else George R. R. Martin has planned for Lady Stoneheart, since he’s currently still writing The Winds of Winter.

“Part of the reason we didn’t want to put it in had to do with things coming up in George’s books that we don’t want to spoil [by discussing them], We knew we had Jon Snow’s resurrection coming up. Too many resurrections start to diminish the impact of characters dying. We wanted to keep our powder dry for that. Catelyn’s last moment was so fantastic, and Michelle is such a great actress, to bring her back as a zombie who doesn’t speak felt like diminishing returns,

Are you disappointed Michelle Fairley didn’t get to return as Lady Stoneheart? Should the Game of Thrones showrunners have used the undead Catelyn Stark? Sound-off in the comments below!

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Nearly Donated To ‘Game Of Thrones’ Finale Petition

Game of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister, Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen, Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth, Carice van Houten as Melisandre, Rory McCann as Sandor “The Hound” Clegane, Maisie Williams as Arya Stark, Conleth Hill as Varys, Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy, John Bradley as Samwell Tarly, Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth, Kristofer Hivju as Tormund Giantsbane, Isaac Hempstead Wright as Bran Stark, Jerome Flynn as Bronn, Iain Glen as Jorah Mormont, and Hannah Murray as Gilly.

See ‘Orphan Black’ Star Tatiana Maslany Become The MCU’s She-Hulk

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 15:18:12 GMT

A new concept design pictures Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany hulking out for the MCU in the She-Hulk Disney Plus series.

After the stunning news that Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany will lead the Marvel Cinematic Universe She-Hulk series on Disney Plus, a new concept design imagines what she’ll look like in the role when the show eventually arrives on the streaming service. There’s been a number of actresses that fans have suggested for She-Hulk like Alison Brie, Gina Carano and Stephanie Beatriz, but Tatiana Maslany’s work on Orphan Black should signal the talent that she’ll bring to the MCU.

‘She-Hulk’: Kat Coiro To Direct & Executive Produce Disney Plus Series

The new design of the Orphan Black star comes from BossLogic and Amir Anbarestani, who give Tatiana Maslany the iconic green look as She-Hulk alongside the purple and white top. BossLogic gives the star a more tactical outfit rather than the swimsuit look, which is definitely the right decision for the MCU series. It’ll be interesting to see who Maslany is pitted against in the She-Hulk show. Early reports indicated that Mark Ruffalo will have a minor role in the series, most likely to play the Hulk’s part in Jennifer Walters’ origin as a superhero. For those not familiar, Jennifer is given a blood transfusion of Bruce Banner’s irradiated blood after an accident because they’re cousins. Take a look at the art of Tatiana Maslany in She-Hulk below.

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Easter Egg Connects To Chris Evans’ Captain America

In the comics, She-Hulk is the alter-ego of Jennifer Walters, a private attorney and the cousin of Bruce Banner. After being shot, Jennifer Walters receives a blood transfusion from Bruce that transforms her into the gamma-powered She-Hulk. However, unlike most incarnations of Bruce Banner’s Hulk, Jennifer Walters retains her sharp wit and emotional control in her She-Hulk form, which later becomes permanent.

Marvel Studios’ upcoming slate of films includes Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder. In addition to the aforementioned feature films, Marvel Studios is developing several shows for Disney Plus, including The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, What If…?, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and She-Hulk.

James Gunn Confirms Peacemaker Series Won’t Affect ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy 3’

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 14:38:00 GMT

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn explained that his Peacemaker series won’t get in the way of the upcoming Marvel movie.

Following the surprising news that James Gunn has written a Peacemaker series spinning out of The Suicide Squad for John Cena, the director has clarified that the new project won’t affect his commitment to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Since The Suicide Squad will be heavily R-rated according to Joel Kinnaman, many fans are hoping that Gunn’s series for HBO Max will be equally as violent. But one Twitter user was concerned that the director’s new DC project could get in the way of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

James Gunn Drops New Rehearsal Photos From ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’

When asked by a fan if the Peacemaker series will delay the Marvel Studios movie, James Gunn clarified that because of the pandemic he wrote a TV series and that it’ll be produced in the time before he starts work on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The director noted that he would usually take a break, but in an earlier tweet, he’d explained that DC approached him about any other ideas he’d had. Take a look at Gunn’s tweets below.

I’m doing #Peacemaker in the time always allotted between #TheSuicideSquad & #GotGVol3. Normally I would have been taking more of a break in this space but it’s Covid, I’m stuck at home, so I wrote a TV series. https://t.co/lARE63ypwI

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) September 23, 2020

True. It’s also DC coming to me & saying, “If you could do a TV show about any character from The Suicide Squad, which one would you do 1st?” And I was like, “I’ve been having this idea about #Peacemaker…” I’m always driven by what excites me most creatively in the moment. https://t.co/tY6VNot9Hy

See Karl Urban Replace Hugh Jackman In ‘X-Men: Evolution’ Wolverine Suit

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 14:18:48 GMT

The Boys star Karl Urban dons the X-Men: Evolution Wolverine suit to replace Hugh Jackman in a cool new concept design.

It’s been three years since we saw Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine on the big screen in James Mangold’s Logan, and now that Disney has acquired the rights to the X-Men, it’s only a matter of time before we see mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although there are other heroes on the team that should probably get the spotlight before Wolverine, this artwork imagines The Boys star Karl Urban strapping on a costume inspired by the classic X-Men: Evolution animated series.

Hugh Jackman Jokingly Threatens ‘Deadpool’ Star Ryan Reynolds Over Fan Poster

Karl Urban is currently bringing superheroes to justice on The Boys, and now the actor dons an X-Men: Evolution inspired costume to replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. For fans that aren’t familiar with the animated series, it swaps out the typical yellow and blue design for a much more tactical look. The concept from digital artist ‘get2dachopra’ on Instagram does just that, giving Urban an impressively sleek outfit. Also, is that Hulk in the background? That would be an interesting way of introducing a new Wolverine, especially since Mark Ruffalo already said he’d like to see the two heroes face off against each other. Since the MCU will likely try and bring a completely fresh take on the X-Men to offer a new direction following the Fox era of movies, it wouldn’t be surprising if they provide an equally unique look for the team. You can see Karl Urban replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine below.

Custom Wolverine redesign! Influenced by Evolution, Anka, and Ross’ designs! I’m honestly really proud of this design, and if we ever get to see Logan in the @playavengers game, I hope we get a design like this! Is this a suit y’all would wanna see on the big screen or the game?

What do you make of the X-Men: Evolution inspired look for Karl Urban’s Wolverine? Is The Boys star a worthy successor to Hugh Jackman? Do you like the X-Men: Evolution suit? How should the MCU introduce mutants? Let us know in the comments section!

‘The Boys’ Short Film Explores The Disappearance Of Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed plans to include mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con. However, the studio is reportedly in no rush to introduce the X-Men to the MCU, meaning it will likely be some time before we learn who will replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Artist Reveals Creepy Proxima Midnight Design

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 14:03:56 GMT

One of the artists who worked on Avengers: Infinity War revealed a stunningly creepy design for one member of Thanos’ Black Order, Proxima Midnight.

While the Black Order were a great part of Avengers: Infinity War, many fans were disappointed they weren’t given more to do across their introduction and in Avengers: Endgame. But a new design from one of the artists on the film revealed a creepy look which would’ve made Proxima Midnight even more intimidating than she already is. The villain was voiced by The Leftovers and Gone Girl star Carrie Coon, so it’s a shame the film didn’t utilize her incredible talents more.

Elizabeth Olsen’s ‘WandaVision’ Trailer Nets More Views Than ‘Avengers: Infinity War’

Jerad S. Marantz took to Instagram with the alternate design of the villain, explaining that he was asked to go for a much more alien look to begin with. While Proxima Midnight wears a headdress in the comics, Avengers: Infinity War made them into horns that curled out of her head. In this design, the horns extended out of her cheekbones while her nose almost looks like an aquatic blowhole. It’s not the first alternate Proxima Midnight design the artist has revealed, as he posted two other designs earlier this year. Take a look at the Avengers: Infinity War artist’s latest reveal below.

#proximamidnight went through quite a bit of exploration. Here’s an option I did when I was asked to come up with something more alien. The funny thing about this character in the design process was that I actually got most of the design resolved in the earlier passes. But the design process like filmmaking can be very fluid. I always thought this Was a fun direction, but I’m glad they circled back to something more human. #avengers #avengersendgame #avengersinfinitywar #childrenofthanos #conceptart #creaturedesign #jsmarantz #mcu #marvel #thanos #blackorder

‘Avengers: Endgame’ Concept Art Reveals Alternate Look For Hawkeye’s Ronin Identity

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Infinity War stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, Sebastian Stan, Chadwick Boseman, Benedict Wong, Tom Hiddleston, Benicio Del Toro, Danai Gurira and Josh Brolin. Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

‘Batwoman’: First Look At Javicia Leslie On Set Of Arrowverse Series

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 13:43:33 GMT

New set photos from the second season of The CW’s Batwoman show Javicia Leslie in the Arrowverse series.

Although it’s still not clear exactly how Javicia Leslie will step into the Batwoman shoes for the second season of the show, we’ve finally got our first look at the star on the Vancouver set of the Arrowverse series. The show made the headlines earlier this year after Ruby Rose left her leading role due to the long hours required of her. But Kate Kane’s absence will be incorporated into the mystery of Batwoman season two, and a series of new set photos tease a surprising plot point as well as giving us our first look at Javicia Leslie in the series.

The Arrowverse Rebrands Into The CWverse In A New ‘Superman & Lois’ Promo

A new blog from Canadagraphs on Twitter revealed the first shots of Javicia Leslie during filming although unfortunately she wasn’t wearing a cape and cowl. Instead, the Arrowverse star was seen in a blue jacket and checked trousers. But the most interesting set photo on the Canadagraphs blog showed off the Gotham City General Hospital set with a sign reading “”Bat Toxin Antidote – Line Up Here.” Given the current world climate, blaming bats for some kind of toxin could be a controversial move for the Batwoman series. Take a look at Arrowverse star Javicia Leslie in the set photos below.

As the dust settles, Batwoman has everything working against her – including the recently escaped rogues’ gallery of villains – and everyone will come to see her in a whole new light. Alice meets her match when she becomes entangled with a dangerous foe from her past who knows exactly how to prey on her vulnerabilities. As Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary (Nicole Kang) find their footing as sidekicks, a romance will shake up their dynamic. Meanwhile, Sophie (Megan Tandy) and Julia’s (guest star Christina Wolfe) budding relationship will face its first real test and make Sophie question everything she thought she knew to be true.

Zack Snyder Shooting New ‘Justice League‘ Scenes With Main Cast

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 22:06:30 GMT

Zack Snyder is bringing some of the Justice League cast together to film new scenes.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Zack Snyder will bring the some of the cast of Justice League back together in October for reshoots. Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill and Ray Fisher are all expected to return to finish up the Snyder Cut and make it a coherent mini-series. Snyder’s reshoots are expected to last a week, so I wouldn’t expect it to impact the end product as much.

Fisher has recently been in a very public quarrel with Warner Bros. over misconduct on the set of Joss Whedon’s reshoots of the film, so his name is definitely a surprising addition. The actor is also in negotiations to reprise his role for the standalone The Flash film and hopefully this means they can work it out.

What do you think of Zack Snyder reshooting Justice League? Are you excited to see Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill return? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!

Previously, in a comment on Instagram, Nick McKinless said that there was apparently an entire fight sequence between Ares and a younger Darkseid when he first invaded Earth in Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League. The actor was cast as Ares for the sequence and trained for four months to get in proper shape for the role. However, McKinless was not credited in the thetrical cut of the movie.

Darkseid almost played a larger role in Zack Snyder cut of Justice League and subsequent DC Extended Universe projects. However, after Joss Whedon assumed directorial duties during post-production and oversaw extensive re-shoots for Justice League, Darkseid was removed from the theatrical cut and Warner Bros. reassessed their plans for future DCEU films following the underwhelming reviews and box office gross of the film.

Zack Snyder’s original 5 movie-arc for the DCEU was also said to include events like the murder of Lois Lane along with half the Justice League and Darkseid taking control of the heartbroken Superman with the Anti-Life Equation.

Here is the official synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Justice League:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Cut is set to hit HBO Max in 2021. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood regarding all the latest news regarding Ben Affleck, Batman and the Snyder Cut, and subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!

Disney Pushes Back ‘Eternals’ &‘Shang-Chi’ To 2021

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:14:56 GMT

Disney has officially pushed back Marvel’s Eternals further into 2021 as well as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Following the disappointing box office reception to Tenet, Disney has pushed back Marvel’s Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings further into the back half of 2021. Since Disney pushed Black Widow to May 2021, it means Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings also has to shift to July 9 2021. The knock-on effect of this means Marvel’s Eternals will now arrive on November 5, 2021. The disappointing news about all the delayed release dates means Marvel fans will have gone a whole year without a new installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’ Almost Introduced Shang-Chi And The Mandarin

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is in production in Australia, with a recent video showing off a sprawling village set. Obviously, fans will be most disappointed about Disney delaying Black Widow, since it was so close to release when the pandemic started to cause havoc across the world. In June Salma Hayek teased that reshoots for Marvel’s Eternals were seemingly scheduled for sometime in the future. But it seems like fans will have to wait a little longer for the first look at either of the two films thanks to the recent delays. Luckily, WandaVision will still arrive on Disney Plus later this year, so that’s still something look forward to.

What do you make of the Disney delays? Do you think moving Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to July is a good idea? Or are you more disappointed about Marvel’s Eternals? Sound-off in the comments below!

Don Lee Shares New Look At Marvel Studios’ ‘The Eternals’

Here is the official synopsis for Marvel Studios’ The Eternals:

“Marvel Studios’ The Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, The Deviants.

Directed by Chloé Zhao from a script written by Matthew K. Firpo and Ryan Firpo, The Eternals stars Richard Madden as Ikaris, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayak as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Barry Keoghan as Druig, and Angelina Jolie as Thena. Kit Harrington was cast as Dane Whitman.

The Eternals is currently scheduled to be released in theaters on February 12, 2021. Stay tuned for all the latest news on The Eternals and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more video content.

Scarlett Johansson’s ‘Black Widow’ Pushed Back To May 2021

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 17:05:54 GMT

Disney has once again pushed back the release of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow.

Recent reports suggested that Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow could once again be delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and now Disney has announced that it’s moving the Marvel Studios project to May 7th, 2021. Black Widow was originally scheduled to hit theaters this past May before moving to November of this year.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek was recently asked if Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow could drop on the company’s streaming service after Mulan‘s release on the platform. At the time, Chapek said that Mulan‘s Disney Plus release was a “one-off.”

Two new trailers for the Black Widow movie are expected to make their debut soon. The British Board of Film Classification officially rated the two sneak peeks back in July. The first trailer clocks in at 158 seconds while the other one has a running time of 104 seconds.

See ‘The Batman’ Star Robert Pattinson Replace Daniel Craig As James Bond

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:22:12 GMT

The Batman star Robert Pattinson becomes the next James Bond after Daniel Craig leaves the role behind with No Time To Die.

With Daniel Craig saying goodbye to his time as James Bond after No Time To Die, fans have been debating for years over who should take over the mantle for the next era of the franchise. After one artist saw Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, they saw one choice, Robert Pattinson. Although it could be easily argued that John David Washington could also make an excellent version of the spy, the British actor is also perfectly suited for the role. Although he might be a bit busy with his commitments to The Batman.

Stunning New Trailer For Daniel Craig’s ‘No Time To Die’ Arrives Online

The Batman star Robert Pattinson played the enigmatic operative called Neil in the Christopher Nolan science-fiction epic, and the actor masterfully brought the spy’s tactical and militaristic capability to the screen in charismatic fashion. But in the new art from ‘Barrett.Digital’ on Instagram Robert Pattinson dons a sleek white suit jacket and wields the iconic Walther PPK to become the next James Bond after Daniel Craig. The actor would definitely fit the role and his Tenet performance is a perfect example of that. And from what we’ve seen in The Batman trailer, the star has the range to completely lead a franchise by himself. Take a look at the concept design below.

“I was in the middle of filming when the pandemic happened, so I had a real break, I’ve been painting and reading. Like so many others, I was at home for a long time. Not to make light of the suffering going on, but in some ways, it has been an opportunity for me to get a fresh perspective on things. It is downtime that perhaps I might not have had, and now I’m thankful to be back to work. It’s been a journey for everyone, but it’s all for a greater reason and the greater good.”

‘Loki’ Star Sophia Di Martino Seemingly Prepares To Resume Filming

When asked if she’s spent the time off catching up on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Gugu Mbatha-Raw explained that although she’d seen some of them, she watched the rest of films when she was given Disney Plus as part of her job. The star had previously teased the series, explaining that fans will enjoy seeing Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief mature in a different way. But when speaking to Forbes, the actress noted that she couldn’t discuss Loki in detail, but revealed that it’s a lot of fun and that safety is a high priority on-set now that production has resumed in Atlanta.

“I’d already watched a lot of them. I got Disney+ when I got the job, so I binged a lot of it then. I’m obviously sworn to secrecy about everything to do with Loki, but it feels great to be back. Everyone is trying to do it as safely as possible under the circumstances, and it feels good. I’m excited. It’s a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to see it.”
