As Netflix’s The Witcher series began filming, a first look at its lead Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia has been released.

The 23 second screen test clip features Cavill in character costume looking serious and intense, sporting long, white hair that is partly pony-tailed on the back, and then eventually sipping from a potion bottle.

The news that Cavill will be playing the lead role of Geralt of Rivia was revealed last September. “The Witcher” is a fantasy series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

Geralt is the titular Witcher in the short stories, novels and video games which takes place in medieval fantasy setting. He is one of the last witchers, a trained monster slayer for hire to slay deadly monstrous beasts.

Cavill recently played a CIA assassin in this summer’s blockbuster hit Mission: Impossible – Fallout starting Tom Cruise. He also portrayed Superman in WB/DC Comics’, Batman v Superman and Justice League.

“The Witcher” is expected to premiere in 2019 on Netflix.

By Creative Media times

20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for its upcoming superhero film Dark Phoenix, giving fans a first look at the returning X-Men characters.

Intended to be the twelfth installment in the X-Men film series, “Dark Phoenix”, also known as “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” sees Marvel comic book favorite Jean Grey struggling with her abilities after a rescue mission in space and unleashing the Phoenix.

English actress Sophie Turner plays Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix in the latest installment. She is known for her performance as Sansa Stark on the HBO’s hit fantasy drama tv series Game of Thrones.

Also released this week is the latest poster for the film, which features Jean Grey in silhouette on a comic background.

Directed by longtime X-Men film series writer/producer Simon Kinberg, “Dark Phoenix” also features returning X-Men series actors Tye Sheridan, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence, while series newcomer Jessica Chastain joins as the villain.

Originally scheduled to open on on February 14, “Dark Phoenix” is now slated for a summer release, June 7, 2019.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Sony Announces “Venom” Soundtrack Tracklist and Release Date

Sony Music

The original motion picture soundtrack of the upcoming superhero film “Venom” is set for release on October 5, Sony Music has announced today.

The soundtrack includes original music from composer Ludwig Göransson. The three-time Grammy award nominated Swedish film composer is known for his work on Fruitvale Station, sports drama film Creed and super hero blockbuster Black Panther. It is currently available for pre-order here.

Here is the Venom soundtrack official tracklist:

1. Space Exploration 10. Pedal to the Metal
2. Symbiotes Arrive 11. Eyes, Lungs, Pancreas
3. First Contact 12. You Want Up?
4. Eddie’s Blues 13. Venom Rampage
5. Run, Eddie, Run 14. Annie, I’m Scared
6. What’s Wrong with Me 15. Parasite
7. Panic at the Bistro 16. Unexpected Ally
8. Humans…Such Poor Design 17. Battle on the Launch Pad
9. Self Defense 18. You Belong With Us

“As a fan of the Venom comics – it was an intriguing challenge for me to write music for two incredibly explosive characters cohabiting one body,” says Ludwig about the project. “The challenge was in creating two separate identities at the beginning of the story that could later be interwoven and coalesced. For the Venom score I drew on my roots as a metal guitar player. I set out to redefine metal by contemporizing it with current production techniques and infusing it with the super power of the orchestra.”

In the comics, Venom’s character is a sentient alien symbiote which needs a human host to survive, eventually giving the host enhanced powers. Eddie Brock is the journalist who comes in contact and bonded with the alien and become Venom, who is both vengeful and a hero to those he deems innocent.

The film features Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom. alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad), “Venom” is a spin-off from the Spider-Man movie franchise. “Venom” is set for wide theatrical release on October 5.

WB/DC’s upcoming female superhero team is set to hit theaters on Febraury 7, 2020, the studio announced on Monday.

With this new date, it appears that the studio ha moved up the released a week early from previously reserved February 14.

Cathy Yan is set to direct the film, with Margot Robbie reprising her “Suicide Squad” character Harley Quinn. The actress is also producing along with Sue Kroll and Brian Unkeless.

In this film, Robbie’s Harley Quinn is set to team with a trio of supervillains. There’s not a lot of released plot details, but according to a report from The Wrap this summer, that team would include Dinah Laurel Lance / Black Canary, Helena Bertinelli / Huntress, Cassandra Cain and Renee Montoya.

The original Birds of Prey comics series was conceived by Jordan B. Gorfinkel and has seen its setting move around various locations, from Batman’s popularly known residence Gotham City, then in Superman’s Metropolis and eventually settling in 2008 in “Platinum Flats” in California.

Originally a partnership between Dinah Lance and Barbara Gordon, the team has since expanded to include other DC superheroines.

Though the future of Warner Bros.’ DC cinematic universe remains unknown, the studio has been busy with plenty of its comicbook movie properties including the much-buzzed about Todd Phillips “Joker” film starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Todd Phillips Shares Video of Joaquin Phoenix As The Joker

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

We know that director Todd Phillip has begun production of the currently untitled Warner Bros. Joker film with Joaquin Phoenix set to star. So we can look forward to plenty of updates from the highly guarded production, and potentially even leaks to float around the internet.

It only makes sense that the director himself reveals a first look of what we can expect from the film, and today he posts an eerie camera test video of the actor on instagram.

The haunting video shows Phoenix looking straight at the camera and wearing plain clothes. Though he looks expressionless, we do get a sense that he is somewhat deranged, a testament to Phoenix’s ability to convey characters merely from a look.

Set to The Guess Who’s “Laughing,” we see various images projected on Phoenix’s face, too quick to recognize at first until it ends with the actor in full character makeup and giving a sinister smile.

The upcoming Joker film is set for release on October 2019. Also in the film are Zazie Beetz, Robert De Niro, and Marc Maron. Todd Phillips co-produce the film with Bradley Cooper and Emma Tillinger Koskoff.

Warner Bros. has a slate of upcoming films based on the DC Comics including James Wan-directed Aquaman later this year.

Marvel Studios

Marvel Studios has finally unveiled the first trailer for their upcoming superhero movie “Captain Marvel”.

The trailer first debuted on on Good Morning America on Tuesday, which introduces Brie Larson as the title character. “Captain Marvel” marks the first female led solo film from Disney’s Marvel franchise.

Also newly released by Marvel and Disney is the movie’s first poster. “Higher. Further. Faster,” the film’s tagline says on the poster.

“Captain Marvel” follows Larson’s Carol Danvers, a US Air Force Pilot who gains superhuman powers after a bizarre accident infused her with alien DNA.

This is the first look at the superhero in action since the character was first teased in the end-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War.

In the comics, the character is the original Captain Marvel from an alien race of Kree who later adopted the identity of the recently deceased human scientist Walter Lawson. While posing as Lawson, he meets and become a mentor to Larson’s U.S. Air Force character Carol Danvers. Her DNA is melded with that of an alien after an explosion of a Kree device. It remains to be seen how much of the character origins from comics will carry over into the film.

Captain Marvel is currently slated for a March 8, 2019 release.
