What would it be like if Hanna-Barbera crossed over with some comic book superheroes? Which Marvel series just won a Peabody Award? Was a Spider-Man villain inspired by Prince? All that and more in this edition of Superhero Bits....

The First Title Of The Two ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Sequels Has Been Revealed By Ethan Anderton/July 30, 2016 10:00 am EST Just a few months ago, directors Anthony & Joe Russo were making the publicity rounds for Captain America: Civil War, and conversation turned to the forthcoming two-part sequel that would bring The Avengers back together yet again for another big screen battle. At the time, they indicated that The Avengers: Infinity War – Part I and The Avengers: Infinity War – Part II would each have different titles because, “The movies are two very different movies....

Watch Chris Pratt And Dave Bautista Audition For ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Together By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 4, 2015 12:30 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Marvel’s adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy was a surprise hit, mostly because most mainstream audiences had no idea who this cosmic ragtag team of space criminals was. But it paid off in a big way, and it has become one of the favorites in Marvel Studios’ arsenal of comic book movies....

Watch The Last Episode Of The Late Show With David Letterman By Germain Lussier/May 21, 2015 3:00 pm EST Wednesday May 20 ended the three decadeplus television career of David Letterman. The guy is a legend, with a resume of comedy milestones that’s second to none. So how did he go about putting on his last Late Show ever? With a lot of celebrities, humor and heart. Below, you can watch the last David Letterman episode of the Late Show (Stephen Colbert is taking over later this year) and check out some highlights too....

Will Ferrell And Kristen Wiig’s Lifetime Movie Sets A Premiere Date By Angie Han/June 4, 2015 12:30 pm EST We never know quite what’s going to happen when Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell team up, but it’s usually safe to assume we’re in for something hilariously bizarre. The pair’s newest collaboration is the Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption. Based on the cheesy tagline (“The birth of a plan gone wrong”), it sounds like everything you’d expect a Will Ferrell Kristen Wiig Lifetime movie to be....

‘Big Hero 6’ TV Series Coming To Disney XD In 2017 By Angie Han/March 2, 2016 9:30 am EST Walt Disney Animation Studios has been absolutely killing it over the past few years, but so far they’ve resisted the temptation to follow up any of their big smash hits with big splashy sequels. Not even Big Hero 6 — which, as an adaptation of a Marvel comic book, seems tailor-made for a multi-film franchise — has given way to a Big Hero 7....

‘Masterminds’ Trailer: Zach Galifianakis Plots A Heist By Angie Han/March 31, 2015 6:30 am EST Zach Galifianakis seems like a smart guy. Most of the characters he plays in the movies do not. So when he stars in a movie called Masterminds, you can probably guess that the title is being a bit sarcastic. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), Masterminds is an action-comedy based on the true story of the 1997 Loomis Fargo heist....

‘The Brothers Grimsby’ Red-Band Trailer: Sacha Baron Cohen Is At It Again By Angie Han/Oct. 30, 2015 9:00 am EST 2015 has been a huge year for movie spies, between Kingsman: The Secret Service, Spy, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and now Spectre. But here’s hoping you aren’t tired of them yet, because there’s still more to come next year. Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for The Brothers Grimsby, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen as an obnoxious soccer hooligan brother who must go on the run with his estranged brother, an elite black-ops agent (played by Mark Strong)....

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Image: James McAvoy Finally Goes Bald As Professor X By Angie Han/May 11, 2015 6:18 am EST Director Bryan Singer has been pretty generous about sharing photos from the set of X-Men: Apocalypse. We’ve already gotten to peek at new characters Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee), Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), and Jubilee (Lana Condor). Now today, we have a new look at an old favorite: Charles Xavier, finally sporting his signature bald dome....

Colin Trevorrow Won’t Be Directing ‘Jurassic World 2’ By Ethan Anderton/May 31, 2015 10:29 am EST We won’t get to see Jurassic World for another couple of weeks. And while sequels to blockbusters sometimes head into development before the preceding film debuts, we’ve yet to hear that Universal is already at work on another dinosaur adveture installment. The studio is likely waiting to see how this pseudo-reboot does at the box office (it’s tracking very well this far in advance for obvious reasons), before they make moves on a sequel....

Exclusive First Look: Mondo’s Godzilla Statue By Peter Sciretta/July 7, 2015 12:00 pm EST Mondo has given us an exclusive first look at their upcoming Godzilla statue, based on the poster created by Phantom City Creative for the 2013 edition of the con. Hit the jump to see a prototype of the Mondo Godzilla statue which will be on display at Comic Con 2015. How cool is that? I love how Mondo is translating their 2D artwork into 3D collectibles, and can’t wait to see what else they might have in store for us....

CEO Kevin Tsujihara. He’ll be played by Ezra Miller, best known for his work in We Need To Talk About Kevin and The Perks of Being A Wallflower. The news came as part of a major investors event Wednesday morning....

Hey Star Wars Fans, Supreme Leader Snoke Is Not Darth Plagueis, So Move On By Ethan Anderton/May 10, 2016 11:00 am EST Who is Supreme Leader Snoke? This is one of the biggest questions fans had after watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There are plenty of theories out there, some crazy, some sensible. But one of the more predominant guesses from fans about the origins of the First Order villain who has trained Kylo Ren in the ways of the dark side has just been debunked....

Hugh Dancy Keeps Hope Alive For More ‘Hannibal’, Teases Season 4 Storyline By Fred Topel/Jan. 9, 2016 2:00 pm EST Hugh Dancy was on a Television Critics Association panel for his upcoming Hulu series The Path this morning. After the panel he stayed to speak with journalists further, and we asked him about the hypothetical fourth season of Hannibal. Bryan Fuller had teased potential Silence of the Lambs storylines, but Dancy clarified some of the possibilities....

Hugh Jackman Teases Berserker Rage In James Mangold’s ‘Wolverine 3’ By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 18, 2015 8:30 am EST Wolverine 3 will be Hugh Jackman’s last outing as the clawed mutant who has driven pretty much the entire X-Men franchise with the exception of X-Men: First Class. So far all we know is that the sequel will have some ties to the Old Man Logan comic book arc, and Patrick Stewart as Professor X will be an integral part of the movie....

Ever since Hulu introduced their limited commercial subscription called Hulu Plus (after offering streaming for free initially), users have still clamored to wipe ads completely from their entertainment time, so this is long overdue....

Joseph Kosinski In Talks To Direct ‘Gran Turismo’ Video Game Adaptation By Russ Fischer/March 3, 2015 5:00 am EST Often when news revs up on a big video game to film adaptation, one question is at the forefront of the conversation: “what’s the story?” Now Sony is really moving forward on a movie version of Gran Turismo, the company’s very detailed racing franchise, which is perhaps one of the most story-free major game series out there....

Neill Blomkamp Offers New ‘Alien’ Concept Art By Russ Fischer/July 17, 2015 5:30 am EST The story of Neill Blomkamp’s proposed Alien movie is a weird one, as some of the development of the film has unfolded in public thanks to the director’s Instagram account and his use of concept art releases to build momentum for the potential sequel. Now Blomkamp has shared a piece of new Alien concept art, featuring Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley and a scarred character obviously meant to be Michael Biehn’s Hicks....
