Daniel Brühl Confirms Playing Baron Zemo


Late last year, it was announced that Daniel Brühl was joining the cast of Captain America: Civil War. At the time, he was rumored to be playing the villain known as Baron Zemo and would be only a small role until he appears again in Doctor Strange.

There was a casting sheet later on that labeled his role as Baron Zemo but Marvel had still not confirmed that's who he is playing.

Brühl has beaten them to it as he confirmed his role to The Independent during an interview.

In the interview, first found by Marvel_Freshman of ComicBookMovie, they asked him if he was in fact playing Baron Zemo and he responded by saying, “I think I can tell you that without being thrown into Marvel prison.”

Captain America: Civil War is scheduled to start filming tomorrow so we can expect an official casting list, roles, and synopsis from Marvel soon.

Frank Grillo Returning for Civil War


At the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Brock Rumlow (Frank Grillo) was in critical condition following a fight with Falcon (Anthony Mackie). Joe and Anthony Russo have already hinted that the future for Rumlow will probably follow the comics, and teased so much with his final shot on screen.


Now, it appears Frank Grillo has confirmed his appearance in the third installment, Captain America: Civil War. He tweeted this just moments ago-

The return of Rumlow should feature him transforming into Crossbones, who played a major role in the Civil War story line in the comics.

Captain America: Civil War hits theaters May 6, 2016 and stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther, Frank Grillo as Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, and Daniel Brühl.

Age of Ultron RUMORS- New Team, Death, and Civil War Sides


Today, Superhero News dropped an exclusive scoop about what the Avengers may look like at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron. The following information below will contain spoilers for the end of the movie, should it prove to be accurate.


***** POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW *****


According to Superhero News' source, following the final battle with Ultron, Captain America (Chris Evans) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) will lead and assemble a new Avengers team that will include Falcon (Anthony Mackie), War Machine (Don Cheadle), Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Vision (Paul Bettany).

Recent reports and common sense point to Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) to be no shows during Civil War and a possible cameo by Spider-Man could be in the mix as well.

This is not entirely new or surprising information as this has long been the rumored team. The main surprises include no Hawkeye and the inclusion of War Machine. Could this mean that War Machine could side with Captain America in Captain America: Civil War? Well maybe not.

Earlier today, Devin Faraci from Badass Digest ran some information on Captain America: Civil War and some things don't add up. On Twitter, Faraci expanded on some details not in the story saying that War Machine, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) would all side with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). That last piece of information also has conflicting reports.

A few days ago Bleeding Cool ran a scoop that Quicksilver will die at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron but then the likes of Latino-Review, Badass Digest, and more shot down that rumor. Except, at the end of Superhero News' report, they say that Quicksilver will in fact die while protecting a fellow Avenger.

This would certainly be a surprise (if it's true) as it seems odd for Marvel to rid the future of the MCU from a young speedster that they have just introduced. 

Captain America: Civil War is set to start filming at the beginning of April with Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman), Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Falcon (Anthony Mackie), and Daniel Bruhl confirmed to appear.

Marvel Weekly News #28

The Avengers have taken full priority for Marvel. After announcing a new trailer was set to release on Thursday, they surprised the world by giving us a chance to unlock it early, and it didn't take very long. The new trailer gave lots of new footage but that was not the only news on the Marvel front. James Gunn stated what new character we will see in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, we got our first look at Wilson Fisk, and new character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron along side the trailer. We also found out who might direct and write the new Spider-Man franchise, Mike Colter talked about Luke Cage, and Agents of SHIELD had a very inhuman return. Read more about each of these below!

Gunn's Favorite Guardian Set for Debut
We've known since Comic-Con that the space adventure known as Guardians of the Galaxy would be getting a sequel and that the main cast will all be returning. As he normally does, director James Gunn spent time this week answering fan questions about Guardians of the Galaxy 2. He revealed that his favorite character will be making his/her debut in the sequel. Who is that character? We will have to wait and see. Gunn also stated that he would love for Al Pacino to join the movie, which is interesting since Pacino was rumored to have a meeting with Marvel last year.
Marvel Shows Off Wilson Fisk
We are just over a month away from Daredevil's release on Netflix and Marvel has started promoting their first Netflix original show. This week, they gave us our first full look at Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio). Fisk will be the main villain Matthew Murdock (Charlie Cox) has to face in season 1.

 

Hawkeye and Cap Get Character Posters
Last week, Marvel started releasing solo character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron giving us Iron Man, Hulk, and then Thor, Black Widow, and Nick Fury. This week, they gave us two more with Hawkeye and Captain America getting the posters above. There may be more posters on the way as we get closer to the release.
Goddard Will Take on Spider-Man
After Sony and Marvel agreed to share Spider-Man, fans wanted to know who would be the director and also who could be the new hero. We made our list of 5 actors we would like to see, but it appears they may have found the writer and director. Read more about Drew Goddard reportedly joining the franchise here.
Colter Talks Luke Cage
Even though Mike Colter will have to wait over a year till he leads Luke Cage, his own Netflix show, he is set to co-star in AKA Jessica Jones alongside Jessica Jones herself Krysten Ritter. This week he talked to IGN about the role and you can read the highlights here.

Agents of SHIELD Returns
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD returned this week and started the show down the inhuman path. The sophomore season has been fantastic and looks well on its way for many more seasons. Should the show continue, Marvel will need more ideas to fill the winter break so we helped them out with 8 potential ideas. If you watched EP 11, check out our review and share your thoughts on the episode as well!
Age of Ultron Trailer 3
If you haven't already, above is the third and probably final trailer we get for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The trailer gave us more Hulkbuster vs Hulk action, Ultron gathering his massive army, and a small glimpse at Paul Bettany's Vision. You can see some screenshots from the trailer on our Twitter page.

Writer and Director for Spider-Man Reboot Found

Less than a month ago, Sony and Marvel announced a ground breaking partnership that will bring Spider-Man to the MCU. The reboot will send Spider-Man (Either Miles Morales or Peter Parker) back to high school. Fans have already started making their lists of who they want to play Spider-Man (I did the same thing).

Today, Latino-Review dropped the big news that Sony and Marvel have found the man they want to write and direct the reboot, which may be called Spectacular Spider-Man.

Drew Goddard is that man. Goddard was originally a producer on Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil, but left that project to helm the Sinister Six film that Sony was planning. That plan and all other spin-off ideas by Sony have been scrapped for now.

Here are some other things that Latino-Review is hearing from their sources-


  • No new origin story, Spidey exists from the beginning, taken as a given
  • New actor, probably an unknown, he will be specifically based in High School and they want him to be able to grow up into the role.  The thought being if this works, Spidey can do multiple trilogies for years ala Harry Potter.
  • A major part of the first film will involve Spider- Man fighting Iron Man and then trying to pass the “audition” to join the Avengers
  • The first film will involved the Sinister Six coming together with the thought to later maybe spin them off.
They also squash a rumor generated by Reddit that Dylan O'Brien has already been cast for the lead role.

If the above information is true, and based off of Latino-Review's track record, it is, then it seems that Tony Stark and Peter Parker/Miles Morales will share the screen in the first Spider-Man movie, after he is possibly introduced in Captain America: Civil War. Could that be what Robert Downey Jr.'s big announcement is in three days?

10 Most Anticipated Moments in Age of Ultron

As we get closer to the release of Marvel's most anticipated movie yet, Avengers: Age of Ultron is sure to have it's fair share of jaw dropping moments. There have been lots of these moments teased in the trailers so far and I have compiled a list of 10 moments that I'm anticipated the most. Check out the list below!
10. Klaw's Involvement
When Andy Serkis first joined Avengers: Age of Ultron, it was assumed given his background in motion capture that he would use those skills. Instead, Serkis will be playing the famous Black Panther villain Ulysses Klaw. He has been shown briefly in each of the first two trailers but how big of a role he will actually have is not clear. He may simply be an easy way to introduce Wakanda and give Ultron the Vibranium he needs but if the glimpses we have gotten are any indication, his role may be much bigger.
9. Banner's Anger Problems
Thanks to his role in The Avengers, the Hulk became a favorite among fans around the world. His future in the movies has been a hot topic with rumors stating he be in space by the time Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to an end. His fate may be related to his ability to control his anger and not Hulk out. From the footage we've seen of Banner, his ability to control the Hulk is unstable. Seeing how he deals with his anger will be very interesting to watch.
8. The Twins
Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) are some of the newest super powered individuals in the Marvel cinematic universe. They have been used sparingly in marketing in large part to most likely make their screen time that much more enjoyable. The twins will begin by helping Ultron but should switch and join the Avengers before the movie is finished. How their powers will be displayed and utilized make their presence one of my most anticipated moments of the film.

7. Cameos
We know a large majority of the cast and characters that will make appearances in Avengers: Age of Ultron but their are certainly a few that should surprise us. From Black Panther, to Carol Danvers, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Mantis, SHIELD agents and their director, or even a new Peter Parker, there has been no shortage of rumors on who just might make a cameo. Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) seems like the most likely cameo to take place, especially considering Agents of SHIELD is set to tie in to this movie. Other than that, Scott Lang, Hank Pym, or Stephen Strange would be a pleasant surprise and makes this one of my most anticipated moments of the film, should it happen.

6. Civil War Seeds
Following Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel will release Ant-Man before delivering what Anthony Mackie called "Avengers 3.8" in Captain America: Civil War. Civil War will feature Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) square off about who super powered people, like themselves, should have to answer to. Marvel has been hinting at Civil War for quite some time and should continue that during Avengers: Age of Ultron making it one of our most anticipated moments.

5. Hero vs Hero Fights
One of the best parts of The Avengers was seeing heroes go to head to head. Thor vs Hulk, Iron Man vs Thor, and Black Widow vs a mind controlled Hawkeye were just a few of the battles that we saw. We know of one hero vs hero fight that will get more of a spotlight later on. In the footage we have seen, we know there will be some tension between Thor and Iron Man, but what other fights we could see are a mystery. It seems very likely that we will see Captain America and Iron Man go head to head to preview Captain America: Civil War. Seeing other heroes, both old and new, go head to head will be a very memorable part of the film.

4. Splitting the Team
With Captain America: Civil War on the horizon, there have been plenty of rumors of what side other characters will pick. It is rumored that the current Avengers team will be no more after this movie for various reasons and Captain America will form and lead a brand new team. Seeing who exactly makes that team, where the rest of the current Avengers go, and what this could mean for the future make it a very anticipated moment of the film.
3. Final Ultron Battle
The villainous A.I. Ultron will be the big bad the Avengers have to face in Avengers: Age of Ultron. We've seen the introduction to Ultron in the trailers but the final battle between him and the team should be extremely memorable. Should he get his body coated in Vibranium remains to be seen but from the footage Marvel has shown, Ultron will be an incredibly hard opponent to take down. As he said, "There are no strings on me."
2. Reveal of Vision
Contrary to the amount of promo art that has come out featuring the full life form of JARVIS, his transformation into the Vision has not been shown in footage. Marvel has, to this point, hid Vision (Paul Bettany) in live action and unless they surprise us in the third (last) trailer we won't see him. The reveal of Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron and what side he starts and finishes on make his reveal one of the most anticipated moments.
1. Hulk vs Hulkbuster
This should not be a surprise to anyone who has been following Avengers: Age of Ultron. Marvel teased the Hulk vs Hulkbuster fight with promo art during their Marvel/75 Years/Pulp to Pop special on ABC and has been the centerpiece of the trailers. Seeing the full fight on the big screen and who may or may not be controlling/manipulating the Hulk will be a great moment in MCU history.

Sony and Marvel Agree on Spider-Man Deal

When Sony was originally hacked near the end of 2014, many outlets sifted through the information that leaked to see what they could find. The biggest nugget was Marvel and Sony once again discussing a possible deal to bring Spider-Man into Marvel's cinematic universe.

It was not the first time fans had heard rumors of this as there were talks before The Avengers came out that Oscorp Tower could be featured in the New York Skyline. Then rumors swirled of a "Spidey Summit" happening in early January where the likes of Kevin Feige and others from Marvel would sit down with Sony executives to try and finalize the deal.

That deal, is officially done.

Marvel has announced that the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is back under their control.

The new Spider-Man franchise will be overseen by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal as they reboot the franchise for what will be the third time on screen. The new Spider-Man will first appear in one of Marvel's previously announced films before having his own solo movie co-produced by both studios on July 28, 2017.

With the new Spider-Man set to make an appearance in MCU before his solo movie, Doctor Strange or a small cameo in Captain America: Civil War are the most likely options.

It is clear that this will be a new direction and not carry over any of the previous baggage or story lines from the original Spider-Man trilogy or the last two installments of The Amazing Spider-Man

What that means is no Andrew Garfield (sadly) and another new Peter Parker on the way. Marvel and Sony have yet to lock down an actor to play the web slinger but it should be a gig that any actor wants.

Current characters from the MCU have the possibility of appearing in solo Spider-Man movies as well.
