Kevin Feige: ‘Avengers’, ‘X-Men’ Crossover Is an “Impossibility”

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Spider-Man might have crossed over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War this year, which prompted fan anticipation for possibility of a broader crossovers with X-Men and Fantastic Four sometime in the future like in the Marvel Comics.

Well, don’t get your hopes up. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige recently put an end to this speculation during a recent interview and makes it pretty clear that such crossover won’t happen anytime soon.

“It’s an impossibility at this juncture. We certainly have enough films to keep us busy for a number of lifetimes,” Feige stated during a recent interview with Variety.

Although film rights for the mutants of X-Men and the characters of Fantastic Four are owned by 20th Century Fox, many people from both Marvel and Fox camps have expressed interest in seeing them come together, such as MCU directors Russo Brothers and Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman.

In the meantime, we can all look forward to Logan, the next X-Men movie directed James Mangold, and Guardians Vol. 2 next year. Logan comes out March 2, followed shortly by Guardians Vol 2 on April 25.

Trailer for Martin Scorsese’s latest film ‘Silence’

Posted on by

By Armando

Between ‘Silence’ and the unexpected success of ‘Hacksaw Ridge’, it appears that Andrew Garfield is having a sensational year.

Based on Shusaku Endo’s 1966 novel about a Portuguese Jesuit priest persecuted in 17th century Japan, Silence is Martin Scorsese’s latest epic movie and it looks like another Oscar contender.

Considered “one of the twentieth century’s finest novels”, Endo’s original novel wrestles with themes of religious discrimination in Japan and racism in France. In 1971 the novel was adapted for the screen by Japanese director Masahiro Shinoda, and in 2007, Scorsese announced his intention to direct his own adaption, although its been reported that he really wanted to make ‘Silence’ long before that.

The trailer starts with lead Andrew Garfield’s Father Rodrigues and Adam Driver’s Father Garrpe conversing about a journey to find their mentor Father Ferreira, played by Liam Neeson. But this plan comes with Father Valignano’s (Ciarán Hinds) ominous warming: “The moment you set foot in that country, you step into high danger.” What follows is a collage of intense scenes of violence, religious imagery and executions.

‘Silence’ is primed for awards contention, as it opens in limited release on Dec.23, 2016, just in time for Oscar consideration, followed by expansion in early 2017. See ‘Silence’ trailer below:

Jason Momoa’s axe-throwing skills isn’t just an act

Posted on by

By Armando

It looks like Jason found a perfect promo for the second season of Frontier.

The six-foot-three hulk was recently seen at Jack Axes Inc in St. John’s in Newfoundland, showing off his axe-throwing skills and easily hits the bullseye (some 30 feet from target with minimal effort).

Momoa, best known for his role as Khal Drogo in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” is in St. John’s filming Discovery Canada’s “Frontier” season 2 where Momoa plays a fur-trading outlaw, Declan Harp. Frontier premiered on Nov. 6, and will continue to air until Dec. 11.

“I’m Jason Momoa. I like beer and throwing tomahawks. And if you’re in Newfoundland, you should come down to Jack Axes.”

It remains to be seen how such skills will be on display in any of his upcoming films Aquaman and Justice League. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Justice League will hit theaters November 17th, 2017 while Aquaman follows on July 26, 2018.

I love beer and throwing Hawks mahalo @jackaxesinc BOOM
