‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets A Fantastic New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Marvel Studios today debuted a new trailer for this Winter’s phase two film, Thor: The Dark World.

The preview is chock-full of new footage, including plenty of new Loki action. We also get a much better look at the film’s plot from this trailer, which is definitely one of the better Marvel film previews that I’ve ever seen.

Thor: The Dark World looks to drop the silly, overused humour from the first Thor film, and should be a much more serious feature than phase two opener Iron Man 3. This is exactly how the world should be acting after an alien attack, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where the movie goes.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to it! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

Marvel Studios’ “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Gets A New Poster!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Marvel Studios today released a new poster for Thor: The Dark World.

The image is fairly standard poster fare, spotlighting Chris Hemsworth clutching his beloved Natalie Portman, while secondary characters look somber in the background (aside from Loki, who looks like he’s having a blast). It reveals little of what we’ll see in the feature, but it certainly does its job in looking bad-ass.

Take a look at the new poster below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th!

‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ Teaser Poster Released

by Derek Kraneveldt

While we’re bound to see more Captain America at San Diego Comic-Con next week, Disney has just debuted the teaser poster for next year’s Phase Two film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Being a teaser poster, the image really reveals nothing about the movie. Instead, it’s simply a cool, stylish shot of a war-torn shield, with the film’s April 4th release date underneath.

In any case, it’s an exciting taste of what’s to come. Take a look at the poster below, and look for more Captain America news when Geekscape heads to SDCC next week!

Rumour: Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, And Karen Gillan’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Roles Revealed!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Ever since Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, and Karen Gillan were added to the ranks of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the internet has been ripe with speculation on which characters the actors would be playing. Del Toro’s role has been called ” a multi-picture deal for a character that will have a big part in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” so that casting has been particularly interesting to fans.

Den of Geek has just confirmed with an unknown source just who the trio will portray in the film. Del Toro plays The Collector (one of the oldest beings in the universe, who collects things that would otherwise be destroyed), Pace is Ronan The Accuser (a Kree alien who has toyed with both sides of the force), and Gillan will portray Nebula (a space pirate who insists that she’s the granddaughter of Thanos).

Again, nothing’s official until it’s announced, but this is definitely an exciting rumour that, if true, could hold many secrets of what’s to come later in Phase Two. What do you think of the casting choices?

Guardians of the Galaxy hits theatres on August 1st, 2014.

Check Out Five New Stills From ‘Thor: The Dark World’

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s been some time since we’ve seen any new marketing come from Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World. The studio today released five new still photos for the film, mixing production images with behind-the-scenes.

I was a big fan of 2011’s Thor, and with Iron Man 3 being the disappointment that it was, I hope that November’s launch of Thor: The Dark World can be the start to Phase Two that we were all hoping for. Check out the photos below, and let us know what you think! Thor: The Dark World hits theatres on November 8th.

Glenn Close Joins Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

by Derek Kraneveldt

The ever-growing cast of James Gunn’s Gaurdians of the Galaxy just revealed its latest addition.

Golden Globe winner Glenn Close has been tapped to play the head of Nova Corps in the film, which is set to start production in just a few months. Deadline broke the news, and reports that Close’s character is the “closest thing to the one that Samuel L. Jackson plays in Marvel’s Avengers movie.”

In my opinion, this is an absolutely fantastic addition to the already impressive cast. What do you think? Guardians of the Galaxy also stars Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, and more, and is set to hit theatres on August 1st, 2014!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was just ordered to series last week, and ABC is not wasting any time buiding anticipation for it.

First, we saw a neat first teaser during Sunday’s Once Upon A Time season finale. Shortly afterwards, a mysterious viral marketing site popped up online. Now, it’s time for more footage. The newest teaser clocks in at just seven seconds (I’m guessing we’re going to see a lot of these…), and is titled ‘Welcome to Level 7’. Take a look below, and let us know what you think!

The network has also released their Fall schedule, and while no premiere date or episode count has been revealed, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will air on Tuesday nights at 8pm. With just months to go until we finally get to see the show, how freaking excited are you?

UPDATE: Just seconds after this article was published, ABC released the full trailer for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The preview clocks in at just under 3 minutes, and it looks amazing. Watch it below!

‘Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Viral Marketing Begins!

by Derek Kraneveldt

ABC is sure going full force with this one.

Along with the first teaser for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (damn that’s a lot to type), the network has also launched the first piece of viral marketing for the anticipated series with a blog named The Rising Tide.

The site appears to be run by an anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, as the top of the homepage states “WHO IS S.H.I.E.L.D.? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? SUPER-POWERS ARE REAL. ALIENS EXIST. WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE? WE WILL UNCOVER THE TRUTH. WE WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT ANY LONGER.”

It’ll certainly be interesting to see what The Rising Tide comes up with as Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. approaches. Currently the site features a series of short conspiracy videos tying S.H.I.E.L.D. to a plethora of disastrous (and Marvel related) events. Check out the videos below, and let us know what you think!

It’s a quick look, but it’s a cool one. Production values look pretty high on the project, and it should be an absolute blast to watch. The show received its series order just a few days ago, and ABC is not wasting any time promoting it.

Did anyone seriously think that this wasn’t going to happen?

It looks like Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. has received a full season order. THR reports that the announcement will come at some point tomorrow, May 10th. The episode count for the first season has not been revealed, but based on the popularity of any Marvel IP these days, I’m sure that ABC wants to air as many as possible.

No premiere date has been set, but the network announced that the show’s marketing will begin on Sunday, May 12th at 8PM, preceding this year’s Once Upon A Time finale.

Kevin Fiege Reveals New ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Concept Art & Confirms Zoe Saldana As Gamora

by Shawn Madden

In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, there’s quite a bit of coverage for Marvel’s upcoming “Phase Two” films. Earlier today we saw some new details and concept art for Captain America: The Winter Soldier and now we have some new concept from James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. If you know Peter Quill’s backstory, you know definitely know what scene this is. If you don’t know the backstory, you should probably go pick up a copy of Guardians Of The Galaxy #0.1 and get caught up. Kevin Fiege talked about the highly-anticipated release, which included confirmation that actress Zoe Saldana has signed on as the film’s female lead:
 
GOTG-concept-1

“Guardians takes place within the continuity of the [other movies] but it’s on the other side of the universe. We’ve always wanted to do a space movie. I’m obsessed with Star Wars, I’m obsessed with Star Trek.”

“It’s a huge story on a massive canvas,” Feige says. “We can take it to all those crazy places as long as all the characters respond in an emotionally truthful way. That’s why I believe people are going to respond to Chris Pratt and to an alien Zoë Saldana—because they did respond to that one time before [with Avatar]. And to a tree and a raccoon who, it is certainly our intention, will steal the whole movie.”

New ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ Details & Concept Art Revealed

by Shawn Madden

In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Marvel’s Kevin Fiege dropped some new details regarding the highly-anticipated Russ Brothers’ Captain America: The Winter Soldier as well as revealing some brand new concept art for the filme. Fiege told the magazine:

wintere

“We weren’t going back to World War II. Cap cannot travel in time. So while Tony can go home to Malibu and Thor goes up to Asgard and Hulk can sort of ride the rails, Cap was stuck. So Cap does stay with S.H.I.E.L.D. because he has nowhere else to go. But he’s not necessarily comfortable there. And just as he’s given permission to let go of the past and to focus on the modern world, a ghost comes up. With the Greatest Generation in World World II, there’s a tendency to reflect on that period and say, ‘Things were black and white back then, and now it’s hard to know who the bad guys are.’ ‘We wanted to play on that a little with Cap being uncomfortable with the way S.H.I.E.L.D., and in particular Nick Fury, operates.”

Robert Downey Jr. Renegotiating Contract With Marvel

by Shawn Madden

Worried that with his contract coming to an end it would mean that Robert Downey Jr. would be hanging up his helmet? It’s definitely going to be hard to see any other actor fill the role after he finally does but don’t worry just yet. RDJ appeared on The Daily Show and revealed to the audience that he is currently renegotiating his contract at the moment with Marvel which means we may see a few more outings with him as the armored avenger in the future. Check out the interview below as well as a short clip from the film.

Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

Quicksilver & The Scarlet Witch Confirmed To Be Joining The Team In ‘The Avengers’ Sequel

by Shawn Madden

Remember last week when Joss Whedon hinted at two new characters (“a brother/sister act”) that would be appearing in the upcoming sequel to The Avengers? Well, Entertainment Weekly report that their upcoming issue will feature an extensive look at Marvel Studios upcoming “Phase Two” films as well as going on to confirm what many had earlier speculated:

Ultimate Comics X-Men 7

“Some online rumors turn out to be true, however. A source confirms to EW that the twin characters Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will be joining The Avengers 2, which Whedon hinted at recently when he said he was writing a brother-sister duo into the movie. Feige maintains a poker face on that scoop, saying only: “I’m not confirming or denying. The draft could change six months from now.”

The rights to these two characters were revealed awhile back to be up to whichever studio used theme first between Marvel and Fox and it appears Marvel got to them first. Will they be mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or have the origins of their powers altered a bit for the film universe? We’re going to have to wait and find out but this is definitely very exciting news.

Seventh TV Spot Released For ‘Iron Man 3’

New ‘Marvel: One-Shot’ To Premiere At San Diego Comic-Con

by Shawn Madden

Actress Hayley Atwell, who portrayed Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger, recently made a semi-cryptic statement in an interview that seemingly implied that a new Marvel: One-Shot starring the character was on the way. At the Iron Man 3 red carpet premiere last night, Marvel Studios co-President Louis D’Esposito has confirmed the rumors of, stating that he had just directed a brand new One-Shot that would focus on a strong female character.

This new short will make its debut at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Last year D’Esposito’s previous One-Shot Item 47 debuted off site for a select group (that I was lucky enough to be among) through viral marketing, so you may want to keep your eyes out while walking around the area. Atwell will also reprise the role for next year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Keep an eye for more updates to pop up over the new few months.

by Shawn Madden

Marvel Studios and director James Gunn are currently in full swing putting together the cast of Guardians Of The Galaxy. Just yesterday it was revealed that Ophelia Lovibond had joined the film’s cast and now it’s been revealed that actor Lee Pace, who was actually up for the lead role of Peter Quill at one point, has entered into final negotiations to play the villain in the upcoming Phase Two film.

There’s currently no word at the moment which cosmic character Pace will be playing but speculation has already begun that he could be playing the character Korvac in the upcoming space-epic. We should begin to learn more as we near production starting this June.

A big space epic featuring an unlikely cast of Marvel characters, including Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot and Rocket Raccoon, who must team up in order to defeat a cosmic force of epic proportions.

Marvel Debuts The First Trailer For Alan Taylor’s ‘Thor: The Dark World’

by Shawn Madden

Marvel Studios “Phase Two” officially kicks off this week when Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 opens in theaters internationally and the studio has debuted the first trailer for their next film in the slate, Alan Taylor’s highly-anticipated Thor: The Dark World. The film picks up roughly a year after The Avengers and sees Thor deal with an ancient enemy who has returned.

Marvel Studios’ “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.
