It's official: Spidey is heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!!!


This was one of the most popular rumors that surfaced during the Sony hack last year. After Amazing Spider-Man 2 didn't perform as expected, the Web Crawler is heading home. Sony will still have control over the character but let's hope Marvel can give the hero their creative input. Spider-Man will appear ina future Marvel movie (Captain America 3 maybe).
Marvel and Sony, please, NO MORE ORIGIN STORY. If you want to give the viewers the most classic version of the character, have him working as a photographer at the Daily Bugle, struggling with money, love and helping his aunt as best as he can.

Marvel Studios trailer double feature

 A new trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron appeared on YouTube yesterday. Surprisingly, it's shorter than the one released last year but we get to see some new scenes with the Ultron drones and Ironman's Hulk-Buster Armor. Can't wait to see it!
 The Ant man trailer was released last week. Judging from the trailer, it feels like a serious movie (even if it's about a guy who shrinks). Maybe the tone of the movie is different. The suit looks amazing! I am a big fan of Edgar Wright (Spaced, anyone?) and I hate that he departed the movie, but still, I'll give it a shot.

Spidey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?


 Source IGN, following the Sony Pictures hack, some documents have surfaced that present some kind of deal between Marvel and Sony for the use of Spider-Man in the Captain America 3 - Civil War movie. In the comics, Peter Parker was essential to the Civil War storyline. Spoilers!!! After Peter develops a man-crush over Tony Stark, he choose to side with the Registration Act and unmasks himself. But later changes his mind, sides with Captain America. These events lead to the One More Day storyline, were Spider-Man makes a deal with the Devil so everyone forgets he is Peter Parker and  his aunt survives a fatal injury at the cost of his marriage (I really hope they don't include the last part in a movie).

It seems that the deal is not going to happen, which is unfortunately since it  would have been a great opportunity to let someone else handle Spidey. The unnecessary need of cramming as many characters into a movie and not letting a director and writers do their job is what is killing the Spider-Man franchise. Since this deal involves a ton of money, it seems very difficult for the Wall Crawler to return to Marvel's hand, but the deal seems more likely now than it was a year ago. Having Spidey interact with the Avengers would be awesome. Nevertheless, Marvel can use another character to fill Spider-Man shoes (Ant-Man, Black Panther or even Daredevil). Whatever happens to Spider-Man, I hope it doesn't involve a reboot!

Guardians of the Galaxy movie review

Sometimes a studio is so comfortable with an impressive streak of successful movies that takes risks with and idea so bizarre that might destroy their entire reputation, luckily this was not the case with Guardians of the Galaxy.  This movie has  excellent dialogue, acting, chemistry and soundtrack. It balances genre such as sci-fi, comedy and action. to deliver a true summer blockbuster experience that fells like a mix between Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Peter Quill finds and ancient orb and gets stuck in the middle of a war between two civilizations. Joining him are a band of misfits that will help him raise to the top, if the can survive one another.

New Batman v Superman photo!

Set photographer Clay Enos released this picture via his twitter account. Have to say, Ben Affleck looks the part and judging by his last movies (Argo was excellent) he can act it as well. My only concern about this movie is the amount of characters the studio wants to cram into. The have 2 characters popular enough to carry a movie about them sitting in a food court for an hour and a half, you don't need more people to make a story more interesting. Studios should stop trying to imitate Marvel Studio by putting a lot of characters in 1 movie without properly introducing them.

New Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer!

July 31 can't get sooner! This movie looks like a lot of fun. The character interactions are so good (at least what have been showed in the trailers) that the action seems like the icing on the cake. The music seems a little off for a sci-fi flick but somehow (the really weird characters maybe) it fits. Hope it lives up to the hype (and Marvel is really hyping this movie) in a summer full of dragon, monsters, time-traveling mutants, smart primates, robots in disguise and alien invaders.
