June 21, 2016 by Anghus Houvouras

Anghus Houvouras on the low stakes in Marvel movies… There are so many things the Marvel movies have done right.

Thanks to Did You Know Gaming, we’ve got a look at some gameplay footage from THQ’s cancelled video game tie-in to Joss Whedon’s Avengers movie, which was in development between 2010 and 2011 before the publisher went bankrupt.

Thanos: The Unproven Titan

October 13, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Pim Razenberg on whether Thanos is the Avengers’ greatest foe, or just purple cookie-dough… Thanos. The Dark Lord. The Man Titan… The Great Bore? Introduced with a slight, grim smile in The Avengers, Marvel Comics’ powerful supervillain Thanos soon became Marvel Studio fans’ top 1 Google-search term. It didn’t take long before I started hearing […]

Avengers: Age of Ultron, Sexism and Hollywood

May 17, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Anthony Stokes on Avengers: Age of Ultron, Sexism and Hollywood… Like many, I feel as though Hollywood has a major diversity problem, with the status quo being handsome white males.  Look no further than Avengers: Age of Ultron as an example. Marvel Studios has been trying to diversify the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the limited […]

Joss Whedon on Agent Coulson: “As far as I’m concerned in the films, yes he’s dead”

April 27, 2015 by Gary Collinson

As Marvel likes to remind us, when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everything is connected… except, it seems, when it comes to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – or more specifically, Agent Phil Coulson and his resurrection on the small screen. Last week Joss Whedon was quoted as stating that “as far as the fiction […]

UPDATE: Fast & Furious 7 overtakes The Avengers to become the third-biggest film of all time

June 24, 2015 by Gary Collinson

UPDATE: It seems the figures that were being reported were inaccurate, with Box Office Mojo confirming that Fast & Furious 7 currently remains in fourth place at present with $1.511 billion. Universal Pictures has two reasons to celebrate this month. Not only is Jurassic World shattering box office records left, right and centre, but its […]

Jeremy Renner says it’s unlikely we’ll see The Avengers team with Guardians of the Galaxy

August 26, 2015 by Luke Owen

With Phase Three building towards The Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2 and Thanos appearing in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, many fans assumed we would be seeing Earth’s Mightiest Heroes crossing paths with the Guardians. Well, according to Jeremy Renner. We probably won’t. “You’ll be eighty years old by then, and I […]
