BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Our Top 10 Marvel Films: 5-1 (REVISITED)

Our list concludes with Hammers, Shields, wheelchairs, and at least 2 epic superhero mashups. Story by Matt Cummings We've been counting down our top 10 Marvel films - which you can see 10-6 HERE , which wasn't an easy thing considering how much our list changed from the last time (you can see those lists HERE and HERE ). We even felt a little Green Rage Monster inside of us at having to decide. But decide we did, and so here is the rest of our list. Please read our full reviews under each number: 5) X-men: Days of Future Past (2014) Fox achieved so much with First Class , but many were concerned that the prequel was nothing more than a happy accident. Not so: DOFP was filled with so many memorable moments that we'd fail if we tried to mention all of them here. From Quicksilver to the pitch-perfect performances of both future- and past-X-men, Director Bryan Singer made a passionate point: he owns this series and should be allowed to make as many of them

Our Top 10 Marvel Films: 10-6 (REVISITED)

We return to re-rank our top 10 Marvel films so you can yell at us some more. Story by Matt Cummings Back in 2014, we ranked our top Marvel films HERE and HERE , which included anything made by Fox, Sony, and anyone else that threw something up on the big screen with the Marvel logo on it. But that was four films ago - and many more if you count those crafted by those same nemesises of Marvel. With the failure of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still in our noses, it's time to dust off our Marvel list and see just how much has changed there as well. Just like last time, and to make it easier to read, we've broken it down into two articles. We'll release our top 5 list sometime this week. Here now is our top favorite Marvel films from 10 to 6: 10) X-Men: First Class (2011) A good friend of mine constantly says that X-Men: First Class was a happy accident. Who could blame him? Fox has been inconsistent in providing us with great Wolverine stories

The 'Amazing Spider-man 3' Story We (Thankfully) Never Got to See

New details arise about the script that was (thankfully) never produced. Story by Matt Cummings When Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios/Disney agreed this year to co-produce future Spider-Man films and (finally) bring Peter Parker into the MCU, it did two important things, one of which was only recently revealed. Sure, the agreement allows Ol' Webhead to enter the MCU at the right time - 2018/2019's Infinity War as well as a possible role in 2016's Captain America: Civil War - but another reason has only recently rose to the surface. On Monday, MTV and IGN released interviews from two former stars of The Amazing Spider-man series: Actor Dennis Leary and Director Marc Webb. When asked separately about his experience on set, Leary, who played Captain George Stacy, stunned audiences with the following. "I was disappointed because I’m totally selfish and greedy. I came back briefly in two and possibly in [The Amazing Spider-Man] 3, there was this idea a

Tom Holland Is The New Spider-Man

Spider-Man 3.0 just got bitten. By Brandon Wolfe A new Spider-Man has been chosen. Tom Holland has been cast as Peter Parker in the upcoming Sony/Marvel joint production, which will be directed by Jon Watt. Holland emerged as the victor from a casting pool that also contained actors Asa Butterfield and Charlie Roe. The actor screen-tested twice, once with Robert Downey Jr and the other time with Chris Evans. Holland will appear with Evans in Captain America: Civil War , which is currently shooting. “Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world,” said producer Amy Pascal. “With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” Watt got the directing gig after Ted Melfi ( St. Vincent ) and Jonathan Levine ( Warm Bodies ) removed themselves from contention. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige says, “We h

New #ANTMAN Images

Empire got their hands on three new Ant-Man images. See all the images after the Jump... Michael Douglas is super scientist Hank Pym, the man who creates the technology that powers the Ant-Man suit, while Evangeline Lilly is Hope Van Dyne, his estranged daughter. Paul Rudd's Scott Lang is the thief who Pym takes under his wing to become the new, modern Ant-Man. You can also see (under a magnifiying glass) Corey Stoll's Darren Cross in his Yellowjacket suit, the villain of the piece. Cross is the former protege of Pym, and the man who has taken over his business and plans to use the Ant-Man tech for military purposes. The Yellowjacket suit is the super-slick version of the old-school Ant-Man outfit, something you probably worked out from the blasting lasers you saw in the trailer. Please Leave A Comment-

Marvel and Sony Strike Joint Partnership on Spider-Man Future

Marvel and Sony learn to share and share alike. By Brandon Wolfe Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios have struck a deal to jointly collaborate on the future of the Spider-Man character and franchise. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige will produce the next batch of films featuring the webhead with just-departed Sony studio head Amy Pascal. The tenets of the deal stipulate that Spider-Man’s next onscreen appearance will as part of a film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe , followed by starring in his own film for Sony Pictures, to be released on July 28, 2017. This deal allows Sony to retain the rights to the character while also giving Marvel both access to the character as well as influence in his usage and direction, probably the closest to an “everybody wins” solution as was possible. Matt Tolmach and Avi Arad, the producers of the recent Amazing Spider-Man films, will executive-produce. Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company said: “Spider-M
