Spider-Man has the coolest rogue’s gallery. One of the many colourful, crazy adversaries he’s faced is Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich aka The Rhino, a baddie who gets his powers from a hide-like exo-suit, which makes him super-strong and impervious to injury and most forms of conventional artillery attack. This Russian is also a huge fella toContinue Reading

I’m quite curious to know how directors Anthony & Joe Russo are handling the Captain America sequel. These guys come from a primarily TV background (comedy series “Community”), and they’ve now been handed the keys to one of Marvel Studios’ biggest franchises, at least in terms of importance to their cinematic universe. So far, theContinue Reading

I was bummed when Kenneth Branagh declined to return as director for the “Thor” sequel. But with Alan Taylor of TV’s “Game Of Thrones” stepping in, it promised a whole new aesthetic and tone. Well, maybe not whole new. But by all accounts, Taylor is certainly aiming to put his own stamp on the franchise,Continue Reading

Say what you will about the flaws of “X-Men: First Class”, it was a solid, fun romp. From the looks of his recent output including “Jack”, Singer seems toContinue Reading

Whoa! This is a nice surprise. “Guardians Of The Galaxy” does not even have a full cast yet, neither have they started rolling cameras. But they have been very busy with pre-production work, which includes visualising the world that director/co-writer James Gunn has in mind for the big screen comic book adaptation. This is aContinue Reading

Marvel Studios continues to attract some top talent to their projects. Now, they’ve secured a multiple Oscar winner and living Hollywood legend for the upcoming “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”. Today, Spinoff broke the news that Robert Redford has confirmed weeks of speculation about his casting in the superhero sequel. When asked specifically about hisContinue Reading
