My only comment is, DOGGONEIT! Why isn’t this available digitally via iTunes. I WANT IT!

Gareth Edwards Confirmed For ‘Godzilla 2’

Gareth Edwards Confirmed For ‘Godzilla 2’
Edward Davis — The Playlist

Casual moviegoers may not recognize the name Gareth Edwards, but it’s more than likely that this will change in the next couple of years. Not only is he at the helm of one of the upcoming “Star Wars” films, but he’s the director ofLegendary Pictures’ “Godzilla,” a movie that grossed nearly $500 million worldwide and will likely crack that number when all is said and done (the movie is teetering just on the edge of hitting $200 million at home as well).

It was inevitable I suppose but I’m not sure why we need another one. The first one was kind of “meh”, I don’t need a second.

Paul Rudd & Peyton Reed Address Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant-Man’ Exit

Paul Rudd & Peyton Reed Address Edgar Wright’s ‘Ant-Man’ Exit
Edward Davis — The Playlist

“It was pretty bumpy for sure and I was really sad about it,” Rudd said of the “Ant-Man” imbroglio, noting that Wright is his friend and he still talks to him almost every day. “That being said, I love where we’re at now and [the movie has] opened up and grown in a new exciting way.

“While it wasn’t terra ferma there for a while, my enthusiasm and passion is certainly there for where we’re at now and what Peyton’s going to do. I’m excited about this new direction,” Rudd added. “So many new aspects have come on to it, but It’s still Edgar and Joe [Cornish’s] story,” Rudd said. “But we’ve…

‘Avengers 2’ Ultron and Broken Cap Shield.
Germain Lussier — Film

Everyone who was in Hall H Saturday night at San Diego Comic Con is still buzzing about the footage they saw from a few upcoming releases. One of those is Avengers: Age of Ultron but, unfortunately, Marvel doesn’t plan on revealing that footage to the public any time soon. You can read about it, or you can check out two huge clues that showed up at the Marvel Booth on the final day of the convention. There’s Captain America’s unbreakable shield, actually broken, and a very early iteration of of Ultron. Check out the Avengers Age of Ultron Props below.

So much for the unbreakable sheild…

Lucy Lawless Joins ‘Agents of SHIELD

Lucy Lawless Joins ‘Agents of SHIELD
Russ Fischer — /Film

How can Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD push back up to the ratings it enjoyed at the outset of the first season? New cast members might not hurt, especially when one is a queen in the world of fandom. And so Lucy Lawless, who rose to fame starring in six seasons of Xena: Warrior Princess and has also appeared in Spartacus, Battlestar Galactica, and Parks and Recreation, is joining Agents of SHIELD in an unknown role.

I don’t remember all that well, but I seem to remember that I thought she was good in Battlestar Galactica. So this is probably a find casting choice. I am certainly looking…

Roberto Orci Promises To Uphold ‘Power Rangers’ Continuity (wait, what?)

Roberto Orci Promises To Uphold ‘Power Rangers’ Continuity (wait, what?)
Tor.com

In a recent interview, Roberto Orci assured fans that he “won’t ruin” the upcoming Power Rangers reboot because they’re making pains to uphold the series’ continuity. But that’s where things get tricky, because matching canon wholeheartedly means reconciling ninjas, aliens, and dinosaurs. Let’s tap into the Morphing Continuity Grid and see what’s what!

Wait, Power Rangers has continuity?

Robert Downey Jr. Open To More ‘Iron Man’

Robert Downey Jr. Open To More ‘Iron Man’
Tor.com

For the past year or more, we’ve been operating under the assumption that Robert Downey Jr. will be hanging up the mantle of Iron Man sooner rather than later, and that future Iron Man and Avenger films might star new characters jumping into the Iron Man suit, or that Disney and Marvel Studiosmight recast the role altogether. But a recent interview with RDJ gives us unexpected hope that he’s still game to play Tony Stark!

Of course, salary negotiations have long been the elephant in the room. Downey Jr.’s vague assessment of the situation (chatting with Entertainment Weekly on the Avengers:…

Hayley Atwell To Return for ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’

Hayley Atwell To Return for ‘The Avengers: Age of Ultron’
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

The curious thing about the Marvel-verse is that the more it expands, the more strings need to be tied together to keep it all connected. And one strand that Marvel is continually threading belongs to Hayley Atwell’s Agent Carter. First featured in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” she returned in old-age makeup for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” And now the actress confirms she’ll once again make a Marvel movie appearance, this time in “The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.” And she can credit alcohol for helping make that happen.

“We went out drinking one night and he was like, ‘You…

Kevin Feige Proves His Classiness in Speaking of D.C.

Kevin Feige Proves His Classiness in Speaking of D.C.
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

While Kevin Feige has enough to talk about when it comes to the forthcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” it seems much of his press time of late has been spent explaining what the heck has been going on with “Ant-Man.” And then over his shoulder are his rivals at D.C. Comics who coming hard in 2016 with “Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice.” But Feige feels no ill toward his fellow purveyors of comic book cinema, and he credits the success they’ve achieved so far.

“I don’t think it is quite far to say DC is finally getting their act together. ‘The Dark Knight’ movies were rather successful…
