Movie News

I do a lot of research about upcoming films and after reading about this years comic con i think i could have jumped around the house in excitement.

Lets start with Man of steel. 
Man of Steel 2 has been confirmed and is likely to involve the Dark Knight; here is the teaser picture that was captured at comic con, the image came with a sound clip from the Dark knight returns where batman beats superman which indicates to me that the 2 heroes may end up disagreeing with each other.
so its a bit small but im pretty sure you can find it anywhere on Google.
so how do i feel about this? well i'll be honest I'm so thrilled and excited but yet a tad nervous. I'm curious who is going to play the masked vigilante and what he is going to look like; but i think we are in safe hands, as long as they give batman the right look i think it will be fine, I am hoping they create something similar to the dark knight costume which gave the trilogy a more realistic feel to it in my opinion. The one thing i don't want is to see batman running around without some sort of armored costumes (Arkham origins is a good costume) they could even go with the batman beyond costume; i think its still too early to make any type of predictions but i am very excited. 
In Man of Steel 2 i want to see Metropolis recover from the events of the first one (which was not all superman's fault BTW, there have been some angry critics who slated the film because superman killed to many people, he didn't; the world engine did) I'm quite curious about the villain as well; are they going to use Lex or combine a villain from batman's universe with a villain from superman's therefore giving them a good reason to combine forces but i could be completely wrong.
The only problem i have with Lex is that superman can't beat the shit out of him unlike Zod which worries me because that may suggest that the film won't be as action packed as the first (the fighting was amazing)
but maybe they introduce Lex's battle suit or maybe Lex is hardly in it and superman has to fight... maybe Brainiac, what do you people think? 


moving on to the Avengers, the name of the sequel was announced and it is now clear who the villain is!
AGE OF ULTRON, well i guess the enemy is the mighty Ultron although i thought it might have been Thanos but i have a feeling they are going to leave him until the final Avengers film or the Guardians of the Galaxy. 
for those reading and wondering who Ultron is... Google him but i'm just going to give a brief introduction to him using what i know. 
Ultron was built by Hank (Ant-man) there are different versions of Ultron so it is unclear which one Joss will chose; there is even a version of Ultron built by Tony Stark whilst brain washed by the other versions. A few of the versions are even made of Adamantium which i think will be unlikely but you never know!
you can find out more information here:
Now, there is actually a story called the Age of Ultron- which involves Ultron taking over the world and deploying Ultron-bots but it also involved a lot of the other marvel characters such as she-hulk and wolverine; it also involved a LOT of time traveling which suggests to me that they will not be following this mainly because i think it goes to far and to fit all the events in you are looking at a pretty long film. But i'm not sure what they are going to do, i'm just hoping for a super cool looking Ultron who really tests the Avengers strength; Loki pushed them but i think Ultron will really test them and maybe even kill one of them. 

Now finally onto the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
i am a very big fan of the rise of the planet of the apes, i thought it was executed brilliantly; the visual effects were fantastic and i thought it was a lot better than avatar (In my opinion a lot of films are better than avatar, but the effects were amazing)
At comic con they released an image of Caesar (i think) in it he looks a lot older and it looks like he had battle scars which may mean they are at war with the humans; but from other sources it looks as if many years has passes and a lot of the human race has perished, other images show that landscapes have been covered in vines and other plants. 
here is the image, what do you think. it certainly shows that Caesar has an army.

he looks pretty cool, but one question.
is Caesar holding some sort of weapon or a walking stick? 
I don't know the actual plot of the film but i'm guessing that there are going to be a human resistance to fight against the apes, so who is the enemy? are we the enemy or is Caesar.
I am really glad that Andy has returned because he does an amazing job but one of the things that has interested me is that Gary Oldman has joined the cast as a human called Dreyfus according to Wikipedia. one thing i am looking forward to is Koba, i found him really interesting in the first film and cannot wait to see him :)

i hope you guys liked this, i had a great time writing it
sorry if its long :)
until next time
