As Superhero Slate wraps up 2017 this week, Infinity War marketing is upon us, we look back at the best and worst movies of the year, and more!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (9:30)About to cross $1 billion at box officeTheaters have had to issue warning about silent moment in filmStar Wars (11:15)FXitinPost fan-made fight of Obi-Wan and Darth Vader from A New HopeSolo: A Star Wars Story (15:00)John Williams to write theme songJohn Powell to do scoreSolo was a young gifted pilot at the Imperial Academy at CaridaKicked out for rescuing ChewbaccaRUMOR Time"Disney is bracing themselves for the Han Solo movie to bomb. They were worried about it before all The Last Jedi controversy, but now they’re essentially writing Solo off. The lead actor, Alden Ehrenreich, can’t act, and they had a dialogue coach on hand for all of his scenes. On top of that, the script is unworkable. It’s going to be a car crash."Black Panther (20:25)Vibranium Suit up closeAnother suit!Killmonger/T’ChallaOpening weekend may beat Justice LeagueAvengers: Infinity War (24:20)Guardians meet an AvengerRussian calendar for 2018New promo art features multiple charactersUltimate Alliance (28:15)US Patent & Trademark Office received extension to name of UA video gamesSquare Enix game could be new Ultimate AllianceAnt-Man and the Wasp (29:50)Character breakdownsScott Lang"The events of Captain America: Civil War gave us something clear, which is: what was Hank Pym and Hope Van Dyne's reaction to Scott having taken this technology out into the world in Civil War? We had a lot of fun playing around with that. And we play with size and scale a lot. I love the idea of Giant-Man."Hank Pym"The events of Civil War, and how Scott reacted to that, have thrown a big wrench into the works. But his curiosity has been reawakened about the Quantum Realm and whether Janet's still alive down there."Janet Van Dyne"She's a very important character. It's fair to say if someone were to have spent thirtysomething years in the Quantum Realm and survived, it would have an effect. What did she eat? All she eats is cereal called Quantum Krispies."Hope Van Dyne"This is really her coming out party as a hero. Her power set is fantastic. She and Scott both shrink, but there the flying, and the fighting style of The Wasp is different from Ant-Man's."Iron Fist (32:20)Season 2 photosDakota North (33:55)Potentially the ‘female-focused Jessica Jones-esque” series in development at ABCHad 5 issue series, Trades are now back in orders at storesReleased usually when movies/shows are debuting/upcomingOr will be a part of Jessica Jones season 2Blade (36:50)Loose tweets may have revealed upcoming version of characterTV show or possibly on SHIELDVenom (39:20)Riz Ahmed to play Dr. Carlton Drake, leader of The Life FoundationFantastic Beasts 2 (40:20)Image of Grindelwald and RosierYoung Albus DumbledoreKrypton (43:10)Premiere date of March 21, 2018Just look at how bad it isAquaman (44:30)More shirtless MomoaJustice League (46:30)Box art suggests NO extended cut at initial releaseTheatrical run may end with less than Man of SteelDeathstroke (48:30)Once again off limits in the Arrow universeMovie probably upcomingNew Mutants (50:15)Image of castX-Men: Dark Phoenix (51:33)Magneto is capturedMore Phoenix photoshop tutorialsHasbro (54:00)Allspark Pictures set release datesGI Joe - March 27, 2020Micronauts - October 16, 2020Dungeons and Dragons - July 23, 2021Untitled Event - Oct 1, 2021Mortal Engines (58:15)Trailer landed on internetBest & Worst of 2017 (1:01:00)
