Welcome to Collider Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with guests Vito Lapicolla and Umberto Gonzalez. We bring you the latest news about the Cinematic World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes, we discuss the following:
Marvel dropsAntman and The Waspinto the release slate
Marvel announced the sequel to the surprisingly entertainingAnt-Manfilm forJuly 5, 2018forAnt-man And The Wasp,Black Panther moves up toFeb 16th 2018, whileCaptain Marvelmoves forward toMarch 8th 2019.
Justice League Darkis back
Justice League DarkorDark Universeis back on the table, with Constantine leading a search for some dangerous mystical books that were stolen. We’ve got Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna, and The Demon all possibly being a part of this supernatural team.
Marvel Mystery Movies
Marvel also stakes outMay 1st,July 10th, andNov 5th 2020for unknown marvel mystery movies. What will they be? My money is definitely onGuardians of the Galaxy Part 3, and perhapsMoon Knight, Howard the Duck, Nova, Warlock, Spirits of VengeanceorMidnightSonsfilm (Dr.Strange, Brother Voodoo, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Morbius, Ghost Rider,Blade) and then finally Avengers: Secret Wars
Inhumans: Vin Diesal is Black Bolt
Vin has dropped another hint of who he’s playing besides Groot, by saying “one role is my voice, while the other role is my presence”. Wonder who he’s talking about?
Watchmencoming to HBO?
Zack Snyder has been in talks with HBO to bring the acclaimed graphic novelThe Watchmento the cable channel. Snyder already made a 2009 feature film adaptation! Is it a reboot, or will they adapt the recent “Before Watchmen” DC comic series, with most notable Darwyn Cookes “The Minutemen” series. Will Snyder reach out to the same cast, and will he expand his original movie to adapt even more of the comic book, to fill out his movie into a larger television series?
DaredevilSeason 2 Trailer
Well, here comes the second season teaser ofDaredevil, and it’s got The Punisher and Electra, with Stick coming back as well. Can the Hand be far behind?
Minor Mutations
Flashback:Fantastic Four (2005)
The first official movie adaptation of theFantastic Fourcomic book series, since the unofficial unreleased Roger Corman version of the early nineties, was a box office hit with a lukewarm critical reception. It had Chris Evans as the Human Torch, before he picked up Captain America’s shield. It was goifily directed by Tim Story, with a weird mix of uneven comedy and a stupid approach to the fantastic fours powers and making Doctor Doom an electrical powered foe. It made enough money to get a sequel.
Spotlight: Deadman
Another of DC’s supernatural characters, Deadman tells the tale of Boston Brand, a circus high wire trapeze performer who is murdered and comes back for revenge. The series had haunting cinematic art by infant terrible Neal Adams, and when looking back at it now, could make a great movie or episodic procedural mixed with “the fugitive”. It had contract killers, secret assassins, Hindu mysticism, ghosts, what else do you want!
