'Shazam!' Movie Won't Feature The Rock as Black Adam
Since it's announcement in 2014, DC has been working long and hard to bring the highly anticipated Shazam! movie to light. In the initial announcement, DC was obliged to announced that they had chosen Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to play the role of the villainous Black Adam. The movie has been set to land in theaters on April 5th, 2019, just a few years after the premier of the DCEU film's Justice League and the record-breaking Wonder Woman featuring Gal Gadot.

'Eye' Spy: Josh Brolin Shows Off Classic Cable Look At D23 Expo
Pffft, Thanos who? Those attending Disney's D23 Expo seem to be so wrapped up in all the Avengers footage and statues of Thanos, it looks like they forget about a whole different universe of hype just around the corner. Sure, 49-year-old #JoshBrolin may have been there mainly to boost ticket sales for #InfinityWar, but let's remember the other muscular menace who is about to be etched onto the actor's CV.

These Digital Paintings of Marvel and DC Characters Are Incredible
I've always been a fan of a good graphic artist who can capture the essence of whatever they are recreating or bring to life something fresh and new. I consider myself a newbie when it comes to skill even though I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator for 10+ years, and there are a few graphic artists who astound me with their work.

Eyes On The Prize: Cyclops Gets A New Visor In 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' Set Picture
It's time to stick on some blue spandex and your glasses, because Cyclops is back for X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Tye Sheridan is reprising his role as the visored hero from Bryan Singer's lackluster X-Men: Apocalypse, and it looks like Cyclops will have a new look to go with his new film. Once again taking on the infamous "The Dark Phoenix Saga," we are "eyeing" a substantial part for Sheridan to play in the next feature, but personally, I'm still waiting for news on where Jubilee is!

Planet Of The Stereotypes: 'Black Panther' To Retire Outdated Character Name
As we prepare to put on a pair of vibranium claws, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is set to mark a milestone for the MCU and comic book movies everywhere. Bringing the very first black superhero in mainstream American comics to cinemas for the first time is no mean feat, but #BlackPanther looks set to continue the #MCU's winning streak. However, as diverse as the cast and the movie's intentions are, T'Challa was introduced in 1966 during a very different time in race relations. It is safe to say that Black Panther has certainly picked up some outdated stereotypes along the way.

Adding Diesel To The Fire: Vin Diesel Says That Marvel Not Making 'Inhumans' Film Is A Huge Mistake
It was supposed to be Marvel's middle finger to Fox's X-Men, but the hopes of the Inhumans joining the likes of the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy anytime soon has seemingly been dashed against the rocks. Speaking out on the issue, actor #VinDiesel is more than a little critical of #Marvel for seemingly giving up on bringing the #Inhumans to cinemas:

Early Buzz Predicts Wondrous Reviews For 'Wonder Woman' And 'Justice League' Films
It looks like Gal Gadot has been swirling her truth lasso over at Sundance, because the first reviews for the upcoming #WonderWoman and #JusticeLeague films are in. This is great news, especially considering that last year wasn't exactly great for the #DCEU. While both #BatmanvSuperman and #SuicideSquad were paramount in setting up the continuing slate of heroes, neither film exactly wowed — in fact, you could say they panned. With #WarnerBros ploughing more and more money into its pictures, you can imagine that everyone is a little nervous for the future of Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and the rest. Well, if sources are to be believed, we can worry a little less; the buzz is that both Wonder Woman and Justice League promise a return to form for the studio.

Three's A Crowd: Tom Holland Throws Down The Gauntlet To The Previous Spider-Men
As we slip into something more comfortable than red and blue lycra, the triumphant return of #SpiderMan is but a web-sling away. #Marvel's upcoming #Homecoming sees the youngest live-action version of Stan Lee's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and the character's return to the bosom of the #MCU. #TomHolland seems pumped to be the third actor to take on the mantle since the reinvention of comic book movies with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man in 2002.

My Hart-Nett Just Wasn't In It: Josh Hartnett Reveals Why He Rejected Playing Batman
From Hollywood heartthrob to fading into obscurity, early '00s darling #JoshHartnett had seemingly slipped off the map. While the 38-year-old Sin City actor is no Brendan Fraser, he is certainly remembered as one of cinema's missing actors (although he experienced something of a comeback in Showtime's Penny Dreadful and has seven projects lined up in 2017!). However, did you know that back when Christopher Nolan was hunting for a lead, Hartnett turned down the part of #Batman? In another case of, "Why didn't I do that?" Hartnett has opened up further about his brush with the bat in turning down the chance to play the Caped Crusader.

What's Red And Black And Kills All Over? Carnage Is Officially Coming To Sony's 'Venom' Solo Movie
As Sony prepares to pump some #Venom into its Spideyverse, and Tom Hardy tries on a snug-fitting symbiote costume, the studio's once failing #SpiderMan hopes the franchise could finally be back on track. With Eddie Brock/Venom being one of the best-known villains from Peter Parker's rogues' gallery, fans are chomping at the bit for Sony to deliver us a well-deserved outing for the alien hybrid — especially considering the disaster of Topher Grace in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3.

Silver Belles: Patty Jenkins Gives Advice To Spider-Man's 'Silver And Black' Director
While the #DCEU is still lassoing in the rewards of #WonderWoman and a new wave of female-first superhero films, director #PattyJenkins will surely become the role model for any women hoping to rule the box office roost. Whereas greats like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino are all known for their directorial skills, Jenkins is set to become synonymous with empowering women in cinema — particularly those hoping to break into that tricky superhero genre.
