Marvel/Disney has released new movie posters for the upcoming film Thor:The Dark World. The posters feature Thor and devious brother Loki. Thor: The Dark World is due to hit screens in the UK on October 30 and the US on November 8.  

Today was the first day that we got to see The Walking Dead’s Michael Rooker as Yondu. Pictures were snapped of him on set of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. This is the first that we have seen of him in costume and we’re excited to see more. The photos come courtesy of Superherohype.  

After many years of broken dreams and wishful thinking it is entirely possible that the hope for a new Spawn film may be coming soon. Todd McFarlane has made a few statements lately that have led us to this belief, and goddamn are we excited.  

Get ready for Ben, because he’s going to be around for awhile. “Sources say that Affleck has been signed for multiple movies, should sequels continue to proliferate. The talks were so secretive that many Warners execs and most WME agents remained unaware of their existence,” states The Hollywood Reporter.  

It’s the little subtlety of appearance that this great in the comic world displays in films that makes fans scream. However, this second of appearance went unnoticed in The Wolverine, due to the fact that he wasn’t there. Lee had a lot to say at the Toronto Fan Expo when he was approached about the subject.  

The unofficial Doctor Who spinoff podcast series, The Minister of Chance, may indeed have a chance to do something bigger than originally planned. With the help of fans and a brand new kickstarter was formed in order to raise £30000 for the possibility of a film.  

So it begins, or ends depending on how you look at it. Ben Affleck has been announced as the predecessor of Christian Bale as the Dark Knight himself Bruce Wayne. There has been an uproar of controversy hitting every corner of the internet this evening as the announcement invaded the knowledge of fans.  

It has been stated that Saoirse Ronan has passed on the chance to play Wanda Maximoff in the latest installment of Avengers: Age of Ultron. With all of the drama surrounding this character it should come as no surprise that the role is being tossed around like a hot potato. Zack Snyder was in speaks of featuring the brother/sister duo of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in his newest film Days of Future Past but, was thwarted by the firm grips of Disney/Marvel quickly leaving the roles with a stigma that need to be filled.  

The time has come for Disney to integrate it’s newly obtained Marvel titles into their theme parks. This fall the god of thunder will show his god-like face in California. Disney will not be able to incorporate any of the Marvel world on the east coast due to the fact that Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida already has pre-existing contracts with Marvel for their own Marvel Island. However, the west coast is fair game and so the mouse take the reins in their newest installment of franchise and merchandising.  

Shout! Factory and Morgan Creek Productions officially announced today a strategic distribution alliance to bring Clive Barker’s classic horror film “Nightbreed” extended director’s cut to the home entertainment marketplace in the U.S and Canada and on digital entertainment platforms next year.
