Marvel’s ICEMAN Stops Villains Cold in their Tracks — Your 1st Look

Posted on by

New York, NY—May 12, 2017— This June, Bobby Drake steps out into the cold with an all-new solo X-Men series written by Sina Grace (All-New X-Men Annual, Self-Obsessed) coupled with artwork by Alessandro Vitti (Avengers Arena, Secret Warriors) with Marvel Comics’ ICEMAN #1.

Bobby Drake has been in the Super Hero game longer than most – one of the original X-Men, a founding member of the Champions, and discovered to be an Omega-level mutant, but while reflecting on all he’s accomplished over the years, he realizes that the legacy he’s built can be so much more.

“Iceman has one of the most tenured legacies as a Marvel Super Hero and was one of the originators of the modern Marvel Universe,” said series writer Sina Grace. “As a lifelong X-Men fan (I’ve got the dog-eared floppies to prove it!), writing Iceman has been the greatest and most challenging project I’ve been lucky enough to work on. Writing this series has been like making best friends with someone who’s been in my class for years, but I never took the time to ask how they were doing. Turns out, Bobby Drake has a LOT to say paired with a LOT of achievements he’s still looking to unlock.”

Also added to the mix, a younger version of himself has emerged from the timestream and he’s more put together than Bobby ever was: already a world-class hero in his own right, but also totally comfortable in his own skin, complete with a relationship with a handsome Inhuman to boot.

In this new ongoing series it’s time for Bobby Drake to realizes that it’s now or never, and sets out to build a life and legacy he can be proud of…and be the best ICEMAN he can be.

“Hellboy” Reboot In The Works

Posted on by

David Harbour by Gordon Correll


By Creative Media Times

A new “Hellboy” is currently in development, but this time, without director Guillermo del Toro, who directed the first two movies. According to Variety, Neil Marshall of “Game of Thrones” is attached to take over directing duties, while “David Harbour” is in talks to star.

This news might not be a complete surprise to some. In an interview with Screen Rant last year, Ron Perlman, who originally played the character, admitted that making Hellboy 3 is unlikely to happen, or at least not with him on it.

The first ‘Hellboy’ came out in 2004 to minor boxoffice success but developed a strong cult following. The success of Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” a couple of years later provided the director enough influence to push forward the production of a sequel in 2008, “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, which was a slight financial improvement.

‘Hellboy’ is based on the graphic novels of the same name by writer/artist Mike Mignola who also broke the news in his facebook site. In the film, the character is a well-meaning demon superhero brought into this world by Nazis who want to unleash the “Seven Gods of Chaos” but raised to became a superhero to do battle with supernatural enemies.

David Harbour is the current lead character Police Chief Jim Hopper in the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ which recently won TV Show of the Year at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.

Posted on by


A crucial SECRET EMPIRE chapter that bridges issues #3 and #4 of the Marvel Comics event. YOur First Look.

New York, NY—May 5, 2017—Hydra has taken over. The Black Widow has a dangerous plan to take them down, and it may require the heroes of the Marvel Universe to cross a line they never thought they would. Helmed by Derek Landy, writer of the blockbuster, award-winning Skulduggery Pleasant series, with art by Joshua Cassara (New Avengers) it’s time for Natasha Romanoff to unite the next generation of Marvel heroes against the oncoming forces of Hydra with SECRET EMPIRE: UPRISING.

“One of the overriding themes in SECRET EMPIRE: UPRISING is for the heroes not to make the same old mistakes all over again,” said Landy. “The Champions, for instance, are looking for non-violent ways to stop violent opponents, and that ethos spills over into Uprising. How do a bunch of super-powered kids, brimming with optimism, factor in the Black Widow’s dark agenda when confronted with Captain America’s role in the Hydra takeover of America? What are they willing to do? How far are they willing to go?”

Hugh Jackman might have ended his portrayal of the character but ‘Logan’ will be returning in theaters, at least for one day.

James Mangold’s final Wolverine solo film will be back in cinemas soon, this time in black and white which should please the movie’s most ardent fans. Director Mangold made the announcement on Twitter, including its date which is May 16th, a week before its home media release on May 23. There is not a lot of information out there as to location and theater count, but we’ll surely hear more about this soon. Back in March, Mangold confirmed the black and white version with a rather cryptic Twitter post that he was indeed “workin’ on it”.

Warner Bros.

This isn’t the first time a gritty action film from a major studio is getting a black and white treatment. Some might remember that in 2016, George Miller’s masterpiece ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ was released in black and white on Blu-ray. Dubbed “Black and Chrome Edition”, the version will receive a one-night-only theatrical showing in England this Sunday, though Miller has been talking about his intention since the film’s release back in 2015. It surely helped that the movie was critical hit and received numerous awards.

Similarly, ‘Logan’ was critical and commercial hit. On top of being the best reviewed ‘X-Men’ film, it is one of the highest grossing films this year, $604 million worldwide to date.

New Wonder Woman TV Spots

Posted on by

By Creative Media Times

Around a month from Wonder Woman’s release comes two new action-packed ‘Wonder Woman’ TV spots: one gives us a brief look at Ares, the movie’s villain, and the other shows us some of the movie’s comedic aspects, epic battles, and shots involving Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth.
Meanwhile, Regal Entertainment Group also announced the Wonder Woman Ultimate Ticket, which allows fans to see the movie at Regal locations once per day in any format, including 3D, IMAX, 4DX and RPX, during the film’s entire theatrical run. The ticket costs $100 (plus shipping) and is available on Regal’s website.

The first spot, titled “Together,” has a lighter tone and shows the comedic side of Chris Pine’s character (Steve Trevor) as he tries to explain his relationship with Gal Gadot’s Diana, confirming again that there’s lighthearted humor in the film along with the action and epic battles. The second spot is a bit more somber and is called “Power”. The spot gives us a glimpse of villain Ares and Diana are battling it out. Its been confirmed that the Ares will appear in the film, but this is the first time we’ve seen the villain in action.

Overall, the TV sports give us varied aspects of the film without being too spoilery, which is refreshing. That said we will surely be seeing a barrage of marketing over the next month as the studio gears up its promotional blitz near the movie’s release.

Wonder Woman also stars Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, and Danny Huston. The film arrives in theaters on June 2, 2017.

Superman Is Back In New Justice League Poster… Or Is He?

Posted on by

By Armando


There’s been speculation over Superman’s role in the upcoming DCEU team-up ‘Justice League’ after what transpired in ‘Batman V Superman’. In recent months Superman was also conspicuously absent in the trailer and promos. But over the weekend, a promo image shows up and it features the man of steel himself.

Which brings us back to speculation mode: will Superman be back alongside the Justice League team? Will he resurrect as a villain? Will he be the same Superman that we saw in Man of Steel? Well, before we speculate any further, be aware that the photo did not come from the studio, and that it’s nowhere to be found in the official movie site. It came from Rubies, a site that sells officially licensed DC Comics costumes.

Right now, there is still no official answer to these questions. Zack Snyder did hinted last month, though somewhat ambiguously, about Superman’s future in Justice League: “It’s hard to have a Justice League without Superman. That’s how I feel about it. It was always a super-intriguing concept to me to have this opportunity to have him make that sacrifice but also have him be this, in a weird sort of way, the why of Justice League: What do you do now with him? What does the team think? What does the world need? All that comes into play. It’s fun for us but it’ll be interesting for audiences what we do with him.”

So there you go. Let the speculations begin. It is of course entirely possible that Superman won’t even show up in Justice League until the very end, ala Mark Hamill in The Force Awakens, or Snyder is just teasing fans. Speaking of which, a new Justice League website was also released yesterday which promises “access to exclusive Justice League content, products, and experiences”, something for fans to chew on as we await the movie’s release.

Justice League opens in November 17.
