Guillermo del Toro was at WonderCon to help promote Pacific Rim, the mecha versus Kaiju film, and it certainly feels like that’s going to be a great movie. While he was at the convention he also talked about Dark Universe – that’s the working name, perhaps the final name – for the “Justice League Dark” […]
Marvel introduces Marvel
This tribue animation is pretty cool. It’s done by BlackMeal and is exactly the sort of thing that could be used in Blu-ray opening titles. It features little icons that represent both Marvel and some of the company’s most iconic superheroes. The only hard one to spot is the Invisible Woman… which makes sense. Via […]

Just what is Marvel’s Project Gamma?
At the achingly hip SXSW (South by South West) conference that merges tech with anyone else who might be interested Marvel announced Project Gamma. In summary; it’s music that plays along with your comics. It’s a little more complex than it appears at first. Normally the way to assign music to comics would be to […]
Steampunk Iron Man cake

The UK trailer for Iron Man 3 gives a good idea of what the film will be like. We knew it would be a 70s style political thriller hiding in the skin of a superhero movie (at least according to Marvel) and that’s what this trailer seems to show. Hence the politics, the drama and […]
Marvel’s phase 3: Ant-Man and Doctor Strange
Josh Wigler of MTV News has an important interview with Kevin Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios that touches on Phase 3.

Is there a Heroes for Hire movie coming?
Marvel is doing well at the cinema. I think movies like Guardians of the Galaxy might represent diversification as attempt to attract new audiences. The sci-fi fanbase, for example, still isn’t one that the Marvel film efforts have reached. Are there other genres that Marvel might want to target? Martial arts? A slightly more gritty […]
New X-Men, except woman
It’s a new X-Men series, in a way. The new X-Men will actually focus on some female characters and will be the third X-Men title out of Marvel Now. Who features? Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, Rachel Gray, Rogue, Storm and in the main role there will be Jubilee. Writer Brian Wood told American press; “I feel […]
Wizards of the Coast’s owners, Hasbro, deny Disney rumours
After the news of Disney buying Lucasfilm and beginning work on three more Star Wars films there were whispers that Disney was also interested in buying Hasbro. Buying Hasbro would make some sense for Disney because of the rights the toy company owns. For example, with Marvel on board Disney has a modern day Universe […]
