Ben Mendelsohn In Talks To Play Villain Role In “Captain Marvel”

It looks like production of Captain Marvel is starting to develop. Australian actor Paul Benjamin Mendelsohn is said to be in negotiations for the main villain role in Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel, Variety reports.

The exact identity of the villain character that he will be playing has not been revealed, although Marvel Studios head Kevin Fiege mentioned at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con that the movie’s villains will be the The Skrulls.

The actor is recently in plenty of high profile projects, including last year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story where he played Orson Krennic, the director of advanced weapons research for the imperial military, in later this year’s Darkest Hour as King George VI, and next year’s Steven Spielberg directed Ready Player One as Nolan Sorrento.

Last year, it was announced that Brie Larson will be playing Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, the very first ever female-centric superhero movie in Marvel Cinematic Universe. Danvers is a skilled test pilot whose DNA is melded with that of an alien after an accident. Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury is also set to appear in the film.

Produced by Kevin Feige and to be directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind and Half-Nelson), Captain Marvel is set to be released on March 8, 2019.

Intense New Trailer For Netflix/Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’

By Creative Media Times

Marvel’s The Punisher – Netflix


Netflix drops gripping new trailer for its series ‘The Punisher,’ and with it comes the official release date which is November 17.

Starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, the crime-fighting vigilante taking revenge for the death of his family and then later uses violent and lethal ways in fighting the criminal underworld. The series is a spin-off of 2016’s Marvel’s Daredevil, also from Netflix where Bernthal’s also played the same character.

The trailer, set to a remix Metallica’s “One’ in the background, shows Frank Castle’s violent history coming back to haunt him including his military past in form of flashbacks. “What we were doing was wrong,” says Castle. Later we also see the CIA hunting him down.

When the character suits up as the Punisher, we see Castle in a collage of intense action scenes as he takes on the bad guys. There is a lot more focus on Castle’s vigilante persona than the overall brutality the character popularized in the comics.

Produced by Marvel Television and created by Steve Lightfoot, “The Punisher” has 13 episodes and also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Girls), Jason R Moore (A Lonely Place for Dying), Michael Nathanson (The Wolf of Wall Street), Deborah Ann Woll (True Blood), Ben Barnes (Westworld, The Chronicles of Narnia), Amber Rose Revah (Emerald City) and Jaime Ray Newman (Bates Motel).

Warner Bros. Pictures

The poster continues DCEU’s shift to brighter and lighter look that started after director Joss Whedon’s involvement, and away from the darker tone and aesthetic that Zack Snyder started.

Superman is also conspicuously missing in the poster, which was released through the film’s Twitter account Wednesday morning. Though this has been the case since production started, Clark Kent did show up recently on Justice League’s latest trailer fueling speculation about the extent of man of steel’s involvement in the film.

Justice League is the second DCEU film this year, following this summer’s top grosser Wonder Woman. Scheduled to be released on November 17, 2017, the film also stars Henry Cavill Ciarán Hinds, Amy Adams, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, and J. K. Simmons.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

“The New Mutants” Official Trailer

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

20th Century Fox


20th Century Fox has released the latest trailer for its upcoming Marvel horror film “The New Mutants,” the latest in the X-Men franchise.

Directed by Josh Boone (best known for his work in “The Fault in Our Stars”) it is definitely nothing like you would expect from a usual X-Men movie and more like an atmospheric horror thriller spin-off. With “The New Mutants” being the 11th installment in the 17-year film series, this new direction is an exciting breath of fresh air.

With Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall Part 2” cover track interspersed in the background, the trailer shows a group teens as they struggle to learn their abilities and identities while held in a spooky secret facility which might have bad intentions of their own.

Based on the Marvel Comics of the same name, the movie stars a group of talented young stars including Anya Taylor-Joy (who was excellent in “Split” earlier this year) as Magik, Charlie Heaton (“Stranger Things”) as Cannonball, Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”) as Wolfsbane, Blu Hunt (“The Originals”) as Mirage and Henry Zaga (“13 Reasons Why”) as Sunspot.

“All of you are dangerous. That’s why you’re here,” says Alice Braga’s (“Elysium”) Dr. Cecilia, our young heroes’ mentor, though her true motives remain unclear.

X-Men: New Mutants is set for release on April 13, 2018.

Kingpin Rules In DAREDEVIL #595

Posted on by

There’s a new mayor in town..Mayor Fisk, that is. After his rise to the top, Matt Murdock’s classic foe takes center stage as Marvel Legacy hits DAREDEVIL #595, written by Charles Soule with art by Stefano Landini.

Matt Murdock has always had the law on his side, but now that Manhattan is under new rule, the tables have been turned: and it’s the vigilante hero who is on the outside of the law, with the Mayor of Crime ruling over Manhattan.

“”MAYOR FISK is really about just one thing: Kingpin becomes…the king,” says series writer Charles Soule. “On page 1 of the story, Wilson Fisk has already become the mayor, with all of the power and resources that come with the position. So, Daredevil has lost the one thing he thought he could always rely on, the place he was sworn to protect: New York City. From there, we see how, and if, he can fight to win it back.”

“The entire DEFENDERS Legacy storyline, KINGPINS OF NEW YORK, is about the power vacuum left in the underworld now that Fisk has become Mayor and gone legit, and how a number of players start a big gang war attempting to fill it,” added SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort.

But Mayor Fisk’s rule won’t just affect the street team – all Marvel characters will feel his power! For fans who have been looking for a closer connectivity within the Marvel Universe, DAREDEVIL #595 is a perfect jumping off point.

“The nice thing about the story is that Fisk isn’t just mayor in Daredevil,” said Soule. “It happens in every book across the Marvel Universe. So, every street-level hero (and even the Avengers-types) will feel the pressure from Fisk’s term in office. As you might imagine, he makes New York a very uncomfortable place for anyone who dares to call themselves a superhero. I’ve been building to MAYOR FISK since my first issue on the title, and it’s designed to be a huge epic in the best Daredevil-Kingpin tradition.”

“The Mayor’s reach can even be felt beneath the city streets in VENOM, where he’s deputized Kraven the Hunter to exterminate Stegron’s subterranean community of dinosaur-people,” added editor Devin Lewis.
