With Disneyland’s brand new area Avengers Campus opening officially today to the public, we were expecting some measure of fan hype. We were NOT expecting said hype to include delusional cosplayers protesting vaccines along Harbor Blvd in Anaheim. According to SFGATE, a group of “at least a dozen” costumed persons gathered on the public sidewalk outside the main Disneyland park entrance. Holding signs designed to look like comic book covers, such slogans as “Marvel At the Facts” were displayed. Possible disgrace to the suit, an Iron Man cosplayer holding a sign that read “Covid-19 vaccines considered experimental, not FDA approved”…

Before you get all up in our comments about how “YOU CAN’T SEE ANYTHING,” we know. We absolutely know, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about a tease. Especially when it’s a film’s director posting it. Obviously, David S. Sandberg wants to build as much anticipation as he possibly can for the unveiling of Zachary Levi’s upgraded “Shazam!” suit.Yeah, we know there are set photos making the rounds right now, but as they are NOT officially released, we will not be sharing them, and urge you to do the same. Anyhow, here’s the VERY short video posted by…

To be fair, Michael Keaton returning as Batman for the upcoming “The Flash” movie has been ‘confirmed’ for some time now, but there are always those outlaying things that could prevent it from happening. That said, director Andy Muschietti, who has been posting little snippets and sneak peeks from the set of his Warner Bros. DCEU film, just shared something that really excited us. That is Keaton’s ’89 bat medallion. Not sure if blood or strawberry jam. We do know a few things about “The Flash” so far. Like Ben Affleck returning as Batman, as well as Keaton. We also…

Fans were delighted when during the official opening ceremony live-cast of Disneyland’s brand new Avengers Campus area in California Adventure revealed a surprise. Aside from the sneak peeks of offerings in the all new Marvel Studios’ themed land, Anthony Mackie made a very special announcement. As you probably know, at the end of Disney+’s “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” series, Mackie’s character Sam Wilson followed in his comic book counter part’s footsteps, becoming the one and only Captain America. During the opening ceremonies live-stream, Mackie was carrying a leather bag, which fans recognized as the shield bag. With the…

Director Craig Gillespie answers the all important question- could we maybe get a “Cruella” sequel from Disney?

It feels like every single month, we utter the phrase “ok, but I don’t need any more Funko Pop Vinyls.” But then, like clockwork, the company releases a new collection that we just HAVE to have, like today’s Ralph McQuarrie inspired “Star Wars” set. Consisting of 4 pops, these figures capture the original concept art of McQuarrie’s for the epic cosmic conflict series we know and love.

We are so delighted to share the first trailer for “Roadrunner,” a documentary about the late great Anthony Bourdain. The gonzo chef and author was a mainstay in the culinary world since the publication of his first book, “Kitchen Confidential” in 2000. With numerous television series and projects under his belt including “A Cook’s Tour,” “No Reservations,” “The Layover,” and “Parts Unknown,” Bourdain was arguably a household name across the world. He wasn’t just a ‘celebrity chef,’ as he also a prolific author and writer. Not just cookbooks, either. Seriously, do yourself a favor and pick up copies of Get…

We have some bad news for fans of Netflix’s “Jupiter’s Legacy,” as it would appear the streaming giant as ‘released’ the cast from their contracts. If you’ll recall, back in 2017 Mark Millar signed a deal with the streaming giant for pretty much every single thing in his Millarworld collection. “Jupiter’s Legacy,” which was based on Millar’s comic book series of the same name, was the first of the Millarworld releases.Some are speculating this sudden release of the cast, since the show only debuted on May 7th, indicates poor reception. Netflix famously does not release their optics, so this could…

Filmmaker James Gunn shared an image teasing the upcoming McFarlane Toys figures based on “The Suicide Squad” characters. Gunn, who wrote and directed the upcoming DC Comics film from Warner Bros. Pictures, is often our beset source of info on any of his projects.It would appear that each of the main crew- John Cena as Peacemaker, Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man- will come with a build-a-figure peace to create King Shark, who is voiced by Sylvester Stallone. We don’t really know anything else about the figures yet, other than a likely…
