  1. First Three New Mutants Announced! And sure enough, Maisie Williams is attached now as Wolfsbane, better known as Rahne Sinclair. When I was a New Mutants fan during the initial run of the title back in the ‘80s, Rahne was always one of the most emotional parts of the puzzle. She’s a shape-shifter, a wee Scottish werewolf, and her immersion into the world of Xavier’s school was part of what hooked me on the series originally. It appears that Anya Taylor-Joy, who made such an impression on audiences in The Witch, also made an impression on producers Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler-Donner, as she’ll be stepping up to play Illya Rasputin, aka Magik. That’s a great role, and it makes me laugh that you can almost read The Witch as a prequel at that point. It looks like they’ll also be casting Cannonball, Sunspot, and Mirage, so they really are going for the most traditional version of the team, the first line-up, and that makes me extremely happy. You can expect James McAvoy to play a significant role in the film, which makes sense, and Alexandra Shipp, who plays Storm in this summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse, will make the jump to this team as well. http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/exclusive-are-these-josh-boones-first-three-new-mutants
  2. Sorry, but I don't trust anyone named "McWeeny." That being said, this trailer kicks all kinds of . Wow. I agree with the thought that they should have put this trailer out first. That would have started the build-up from a higher level. I hear you. McWeeny is saying all the best bits are in the trailers and that they're promising a movie that isn't what's actually there. Again, I hope he's wrong!!!
  3. Drew McWeeny at HitFix thinks that because of poor BvS showings at advance screenings, WB is going to push back Justice League and bring another Batman movie forward instead. In fact he's saying their entire slate of DCU movies may be affected... It's in an embedded video on this link: http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/batman-v-superman-could-dcs-entire-slate-be-in-jeopardy-fandemonium On the one hand it doesn't surprise me. On the other I'm starting to feel very bummed. Here's hoping he's wrong and the movie kills at the box office!
  4. Two new rumors: http://heroichollywood.com/home-1/2015/11/18/ben-mendelsohn-villain-anton-arcane-justice-league-dark http://www.latino-review.com/news/hot-rumor-justice-league-dark-project-might-have-their-new-constantine?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=twitter Collin Farrel or Ewan McGregor as Constantine? Yes, please!
  5. They're just skipping this episode and airing the next one tonight, so it should still be on.
  6. It was great to watch this with my daughter -- she loved it. But the split jaw bad guy in the previews creeped her out.
  7. I have to admit I wrote this series off after watching the first six or so episodes, but after binge watching the whole first season on Netflix I got hooked. I've enjoyed season 2 so far!
  8. With your low post count you've already outted the seller just by saying what you've said here. Looks like it's a boardie who's been around for a while. I'm sure it will all get worked out, but he does note no returns in his thread... The better forum for this discussion is the probation thread. Good luck!
  9. I love comic book people This is almost as classic as who is stronger, Hulk or Thing So ridiculous you are so right! It's totally the Hulk...
  10. Stephen shipped a bulletproof package quickly and the books were exactly as he stated in his sales thread. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again from him. Thanks!!!
  11. Anyone seen this yet? It's pretty freaking cool... Fan made...
  12. the first person they should have him kill is a kid named Carl perfect!
  13. That's just spot on casting right there. Wow. As if I wasn't already excited for season 2.
  14. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans... man lots of Chris's... Henry Cavill... Those guys are "stars"? They're just dudes who have been lucky enough to get cast in some successful movies that would have been successful regardless. -J. No, that's my point exactly. Those dudes aren't stars, and yet they're in comic movies that are very successful and entertaining... He missed it. As long as the -script is strong and the tie in with BvS then the JLA flicks for the character works, the movie will do well whether JM is a star or not. No , he missed it. No such movie can be concocted around this character. And the MOS -script was "strong"? What ? -J. the argument you're making here is different than the ones you made earlier... But I understand why Aquaman gets no love, which is why I'm doubly rooting for this movie! The thrust of my original post was that because Momoa is no star and nobody cares about James Wan or how much money Furious 7 made, this movie about "Aquaman" (in quotes, because whatever Momoa was supposed to be dressed as in that one picture sure as hell was not Aquaman) has no chance of being anything other than laughable and a waste of both money and fan goodwill in my opinion. Marvel got lucky with GOTG. They are probably pushing their luck with Ant-man. And DC ain't no Marvel when it comes to making decent super hero movies as it is. -J. We're kind of talking in circles now, but that's okay. It's been shown that a comic movie doesn't need to have a star or a name director for it to be successful and entertaining. I don't see how anyone can dismiss out of hand the possibility that an Aquaman movie could also have a similar chance of success. It really depends on the -script, the director and lightning in a bottle. But to say years ahead of its release (before a -script, or a trailer or much of anything really) that it has "no chance" is a pretty strong statement. Heck, the movie might still not even get made! Still, I respect the dogged hate on you have for this film. It's good to be passionate about our hobby. No hate. I would just rather see them get a Superman movie right before they start trying to over-reach and delve into these other C list characters. Honestly I don't think the "Wonder Woman" movie will work well either. Some characters just don't translate well, and I think she will be another one. -J. (thumbs u

  18. That looks absolutely nothing like Harley. And why does she have a mouth on her chest?
  19. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans... man lots of Chris's... Henry Cavill...
  20. I searched for an Aquaman movie thread and didn't see one... I just assumed there was no love for him here much like everywhere else Anybody see Furious 7? I haven't seen it, but heard good things.
