Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. has announced on Wednesday that “The Flash” is set to be released on July 1, 2022.

Ezra Miller is reprising the role which debuted in Zack Snyder‘s Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and then returned in Justice League. The director of the “It” movies, Andy Muschietti, is currently attached to direct.

Along with the Flash’s new release date, the satudio also announced the release date for its highly-anticipated Matrix 4. The currently untitled film is set for release on May 21, 2121. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are currently expected to return for the fourth “Matrix” as well as series co-creator Lana Wachowski.

The Flash movie has had a long road to development since first being announced in 2014. Though Ezra Miller has since been hopeful of the film’s eventual release, things got a bit uncertain after Justice League somewhat underperformed at the boxoffice in 2017.

The Flash joins the list of films that the studio is developing as part of the DC Universe, joining next year’s Birds of Prey (set for release on February 7, 2020), Wonder Woman 1984 (June 5, 2020), then the following year with The Batman (June 5, 2021), The Suicide Squad (August 6, 2021) and Black Adam (December 22, 2021), while Aquaman 2 arrives on the same year as The Flash (currently dated for release on December 16).

The new trailer gives us a first look at Kristen Wiig’s an archaeologist turned villainous Cheetah as well as tycoon Maxwell Lord played by Pedro Pascal.

Director Patty Jenkins also returns to helm. Wonder Woman 1984 is set for release in theaters June 5, 2020.

Marvel Opens The Door To A New Magical Saga With Strange Academy

Posted on by

Through its history, the Marvel Universe has seen magic rise and fall to warp minds, control the future, and even destroy the very fabric of reality. Now, magic has changed and is more powerful – and dangerous – than ever, and Doctor Strange is forced to do what he’s avoided for decades: he’s opened a school for young sorcerers…but as they will soon learn, magic always comes at a cost. Welcome to STRANGE ACADEMY.

Announced by the Associated Press, STRANGE ACADEMY will launch this March as a new ongoing series helmed by best-selling comic book veterans: Eisner Award-winning writer Skottie Young (Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon) and critically acclaimed artist Humberto Ramos (Amazing Spider-Man, Champions). The new series will bring together a whole new class of students from Earth, Weirdworld, Asgard, the Dark Dimension, and beyond to learn how to control their gifts in the Mystic Arts under Doctor Strange, Brother Voodoo, The Ancient One, Scarlet Witch, Magik, Hellstrom, and all of Marvel’s most iconic magicians. But with a new threat looming on the horizon, is it too late?

“What we’re really trying to do is tell those classic coming of age stories that we’ve seen in so many other properties or other projects out there in the world whether it be TV or film or novels or comics,” Young told the AP. “Whether it’s kids running around mazes or kids at a magic school or people running around trying to survive a post-apocalyptic landscape.”

First “Black Widow” Trailer Features The Character’s Long Awaited Solo Movie

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

After a long wait since her introduction to the MCU franchise in Iron Man 2 (2010), Natasha Romanoff’s standalone movie is almost here, with Marvel Studios releasing the film’s first trailer today. Scarlett Johansson returns to play the character with Cate Shortland directing.

The thrilling new trailer is heavy on action and delves into Romanoff’s past. “Nothing lasts forever,” Black Widow, a.k.a. Natasha Romanoff says. “I’ve lived a lot of lives, but I’m done running from my past.”

Given what transpired in this year’s blockbuster juggernaut Avengers:Endgame, the film takes place during the period of time between “Captain America: Civil War” where the Avengers split in two teams battling each other, and last year’s “Avengers: Infinity War.”

The footage also features Yelena (played by Florence Pugh), a character referred to as Romanoff’s sister-figure and also uses the name “Black Widow” in the comics. We also see the rest of her assassin family such as Russian super-soldier Red Guardian (David Harbour) and seasoned spy Melina (Rachel Weisz).

Black Widow is set for release in theaters on May 1, 2020.

Both “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad” Expected To Be R-Rated

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

After the massive success of “Joker,” its probably not that surprising for WB/DC’s upcoming comic cook films to take the same path. As Variety reports, “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad” are expected to the be Rated R.

“In the case of Birds of Prey, the film won’t be in the pitch-black, grim vein of Joker,” says the article. “Insiders describe the film has a more humorous, spirited, girl gang adventure, albeit not one for younger children. A series of recent reshoots dramatically improved test screening results and the studio is confident Birds of Prey will be a hit when it opens in February.”

Although “Logan” and the “Deadpool” films were released with such restricted ratings, Hollywood superhero blockbusters have largely avoided it. During the past two months however, Joker proved to be a strong precedent for filmmakers to appeal to more adult audiences, earning over $1 billion worldwide and emerged as a strong contender for the upcoming awards season.

Birds of Prey, directed by Cathy Yan, is set for release on February 7, 2020, while The Suicide Squad sequel from James Gunn will be released on August 6, 2021.

The Dawn Does Not Break For All In The Faller Angels #1 Launch Trailer

Posted on by

All mutants have a home now on the island nation of Krakoa, but that doesn’t mean they all feel at home. See what happens to the outsiders in this Fallen Angels #1 launch trailer featuring Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, Senior Editor Jordan D. White, and writer Bryan Hill.

Three mutants are unable to find their place in a new homeland, and struggle to find their place in the world. Psylocke grapples with a return to her own body and the loss of a purpose. X-23 hopes that she can still be accepted by her comrades and that her past won’t catch up with her. And Cable contends with living in the shadow of his future self – whom he murdered.

“Fallen Angels is going to be a really terrific book because it’s going to show a different side of some classic X-Men characters,” promises White.

“[Szymon’s] visual storytelling is really peerless and I’m excited for people to see the combination of my voice with its intensity and his voice with his intensity and how that jumps off the page,” says Hill. Fallen Angels #1 by Bryan Hill and Szymon Kudranski is on sale this December in comic shops, on the Marvel Comics App, and on Marvel.com.

Following the events of Jonathan Hickman’s House of X, the outlook for mutantkind has never been brighter! But with challenges still on the horizon, it’s up to the mutant youth to continue the newfound success of their species into the future. See what’s coming for mutants next in this launch trailer featuring Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, Senior Editor Jordan D. White, and writer Ed Brisson.

“It just makes for this magnificent mutant manifesto that you cannot miss,” proclaims Cebulski.
