"Avengers: Age of Ultron" Special News: James Spader Cast as Ultron


Lincoln actor James Spader has just been cast as the major villain in "Avengers: Age of Ultron". We originally thought that  Vin Diesel was secretly cast as Ultron, until he was confirmed as the voice of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. I personally think that James Spader would be near the bottom of my casting list. I don't know who I would pick, but it wouldn't be him. But there is a lot more back-story behind this character. As Joss Whedon announced that they would be creating their own origin story completely unrelated to Ant-Man. So far we know that Tony Stark will create Ultron, and we know that JARVIS will have a big role in the film. "Movie detectives" from Geek Magazine came up with the idea that JARVIS will evolve into Ultron. We know that Ultron's body will still be made completely of Adamantium, the indestructible metal that Wolverine's claws and skeleton are made of. Thanos will still be in "The Avengers: Age of Ultron as a supporting villain. Thanos will also be the Major villain in Guardians of the Galaxy.
In conclusion, James Spader will be Ultron, and the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding, and to wrap up this wrap up, here are the release dates in the future of the MCU.

"Thor: The Dark World" November 8th, 2013
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" April 4th, 2014
"Guardians of the Galaxy" August 1st, 2014
"The Avengers: Age of Ultron" May 1st, 2015
"Ant-Man" November 6th 2015.

Potential Projects:
Doctor Strange (Confirmed)
Iron Fist
Black Panther
The Runaways.

Superhero News Wrap-Up 8.25.13

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets closer and closer to airing. Will you be watching? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres Tuesday, September 24, @8:00 pm ET on ABC. We are all looking forward to figuring out how and why Agent Coulson is still alive. Unfortunately, that will not be revealed in the Pilot. But that only makes us want to watch this new series even more.

In a different universe, all rumors have been put to rest because Ben Affleck is going to be the all new Batman in Man of Steel 2. He will portray an older and more tech savvy Batman, but still remain in Christopher Nolan's Universe. In a way, Christian Bale is passing down the torch, to "Bat Affleck", let's hope for the best. I personally think Ben Affleck will be a terrible Batman, considering he already ruined Daredevil, and how many people these days want every actor who's ever played a superhero to do it again as a different hero. Chris Even's is already The Human Torch and now Captain America, Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool but NOPE! Not enough, He was also Green Lantern. And he ruined both of them. I have High hopes for Ben Batfleck, But I highly doubt they will come true.

In other news, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has not said anything about returning as Nightwing/Robin. But we have to remember that Batman vs. Superman is a Man of Steel Sequel, but a Batman sequel, so a Nightwing absence wouldn't exactly be a shock.

Back to the Marvel world. If you haven't already read Infinity #1, I recommend that you do. Infinity is a Marvel Comic 6-Part Event Series that just began less than 2 weeks ago. Beginning with Infinity #1. My review should be right below this post so I'm not going to link it. Infinity #2 Cover reveal is old news, but official images of Parts 3 and 4 are floating around Google Images. 



Other than that, Kick-Ass 2 was terrible, Universal announced that they own the rights to Namor, and that Batman franchise lives on because Beware the Batman, Cartoon Network's new hit series is becoming one of the stations most watched shows.

That's all for now, Thanks for reading and all the amazing comments.

Marvel’s Infinity #1 Review

I was able to pick up a copy of this new comic on release day. It took me a week to gather my thoughts on it. I was actually really excited ever since I got the Infinity Preview at during Free Comic Book Day last May. Once I got my hands on it, I could tell it was going to be epic. Jim Cheung’s art and Mark Morales colors made the event more exciting. I also have to say that in my opinion, the Infinity story was/is Jonathan Hickman’s Masterpiece. I read it a few times and had to make up my mind. That’s why it took almost a week to write this review. I haven’t read the Tie-ns yet, by I hate to say that they probably aren’t nearly as good as this. Avengers and New Avengers are excellent series, so I expect great things. I haven’t read a single Thunderbolts, Captain Marvel or Avengers Assemble. I could easily see Marvel’s Infinity replace Marvel Now. Then I would think that The New 52 is going down! I want to see more of these movie-like storylines in the future. That’s why I can’t wait until September 4th, the release of Infinity #2. I’m hoping and expecting another round of Hickman and Cheung, along with the amazing talents they bring to the Comic Event. Whenever I do a review, I like to put one of thise Blue-Ray cover quotes. Obviously this will never go anywhere but it’s funny doing it.

I have not Given up On You!

It has been almost 2 weeks since I've posted anything. I want to just take a brake. Just maybe for another week. I might post a few things, but just because I'm winding down from summer. Cubed, I promised to do it all summer. But I need a break. It WILL happen monthly during the school year.
