We have a lot of exciting news for you this week!
On the top of our list is an interview with Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Alex Alonso.
Alonso sat down with Spike yesterday to talk about all things Marvel, and how "Spider-Man" issue #700 was sold to him and how the process occurred to make the series event occur.
He also explains the general outline of the "Age of Ultron" story which is sounding more and more like an "Age of Apocalypse" storyline, except that the events of "Age of Ultron" occur in the Marvel 616 universe.
Here is the full interview:
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Variety reports that Peter Dinklage has recently been cast as the villain for "Days of Future Past," and that has everyone wondering who he'll play. Honestly unless he plays the voice of Master Mold, I have no idea who he could play for this storyline.
Bryan Singer also sat down with reporters to talk about his newest movie "Jack the Giant Slayer" and the conversation inevitably turned to "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
One quote that stood out was that the movie "takes place in completely different times than the ‘X-Men’ movies have taken place. There’ll be new technology, new things we haven’t seen before in ‘X-Men’ films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn’t be done yet, so it’s not so much sequel. It’s more of its own kinda thing."
He also specifically says he wants to 'right some wrongs' done in the movies. Which, I assume, means "X-Men: The Last Stand." Might we see Cyclops and Jean Grey return?
Hugh Jackman recently told the Daily Mail that "every other actor who’s ever put on a superhero uniform will be in it," he said. "There’s an element of time travel and, naturally, it will be action-packed."
Geeksplosions. I just can't wait.
Here is the full Singer interview:
'Guardians of the Galaxy' Villain?
Jason Momoa is currently in talks with Marvel to play the villain Drax the Destroyer in the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie. Most people in the geekosphere assume this movie will be a precursor for an Avengers movie with Thanos as the main antangonist.
'Star Wars' fanvideo using 'Star Trek' music and footage goes viral
A fan-made video of "Star Wars: Episode VII" has gone viral recently, using footage from the "Old Republic" MMORPG game, the new "Star Trek: Into Darkness" movie as well as "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" titles.
A Dambold note: This video only shows 500,000 views, but this seems to be a repost of the original viral version.
Upcoming DC Comics game 'InJustice: Gods Among Us" released footage of a Joker-Luthor battle
DC Comic-based fighting game "Injustic: Gods Among Us" recently released a video of two major villains, the Joker and Lex Luthor, duking it out in Gotham City.
The game features a self-contained storyline, with the specific goal of blurring the lines between 'hero' and 'villain.' The game will release on April 19 for Xbox 360, Wii U and Playstation 3.
New 'Star Trek' game footage released
A new video was released this week for the upcoming "Star Trek" game based on the new line of movies by J.J. Abrams. It discusses the game dynamics and storyline, showing new worlds and scenarios the player will face: from freefalling through an atmosphere to fighting lizard-aliens (Gorn!) to stealth tactics similar to "Assassin's Creed" gameplay.
The game warps into stores on April 23 of this year, and will be available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
Oh, and a giant meteor hit Russia last night.
