Just where exactly has Thor been? 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron was the last significant appearance of Thor Odinson (not including the brief mid-credit cameo after Doctor Strange). There’s been five MCU movies since Ultron, including the all-but-titled Avengers flick that was Captain America: Civil War, which left fans everywhere wondering “Where is Thor?!” Well, […]

The Marvel Now! relaunch is in full swing.  New creative teams and new titles have launched, and I have taken it upon myself to read almost all of the new titles (you can thank me later).  Notice that I said “RELAUNCH” and not “REBOOT”.  Rather than start all over with a new beginning, as DC has […]

Directed Jon Favreau recently posted this on his Twitter account: It’s true, I’m directing MAGIC KINGDOM, not IRON MAN 3.  I’ve had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best. When I initially heard the rumor that Favreau may not return to direct IM3, I thought it was the same story as the […]

Guillermo del Toro Brings Hulk to Life on the Small Screen

As if the man does not have enough on his plate already.  Recently, Marvel has announced that they are moving forward with a t.v. show based upon the not so jolly green giant.  ABC television would broadcast the show.  I think this is a great idea.  Hulk seems like a great character for the television […]
