Tom Holland Talks Spider-Man's Involvement In 'Infinity Wars' and 'Homecoming'' Sequel

In just a year Tom Holland has gone from that little kid with the mole who stole Andrew Garfield's job, to everyones favorite Spider-Man. Following the actors breakout performance in this years Captain America: Civil War, almost every fan has been on board with the young actor in the iconic role of Peter Parker. With his solo movie coming out next year, fans have been curious about the character's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Considering the deal pulled of between Sony and Marvel Studios to get the rights for the character, there's apparently still more negotiating that has to be done. 

Following comments Holland made in an interview with Variety about his involvement in Infinity Wars, fans have been left worried that he might not be making an appearance in the film at all. When asked about Infinity Wars, the actor stated: “It’s all up in the air. I believe some sort of deal is in the mix, but I’m unclear as to what that deal is.” While its easy to get worried that Marvel and Sony still may not have come to a deal for Spidey to appear in the biggest MCU film yet, its more probable that the actor is just trying to keep things hush at the request of the studio.

While his appearance may not be confirmed, its seems very likely the character will be involved in some capacity. Considering the Russo brother's admiration for the character, and how well received he was in Civil War, it would take a lot to keep the wall crawler out of Infinity Wars. Theres alway the possibility though that somehow this part of the deal still hasn't been worked out, but it seems unlikely considering Marvel's knack for always planning out their future movies and story lines for their characters.

Tom Holland also opened up to WWD about the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel that is already in the works, which seems quick since the movie is still a year away. When asked about Homecoming 2, the actor explained: “My next project, I can’t tell you about, but we’ve just finished ‘Spider-Man’ and we’re talking about the second one and who the villain is going to be and where we’re going.” While a sequel hasn't officially been announced yet, Marvel must have enough faith in the success of Homecoming to already start moving ahead with it. Its anyones guess who the villains they're considering can be, as the Spider-Man rogues gallery has several to chose from.

So would you be okay with Spider-Man now showing up in Infinity Wars? Who would you like to see as the villain in Homecoming 2? Let us know below!

Colin Firth Joins The Growing Cast Of Disney's 'Mary Poppins Returns' Starring Emily Blunt

Mary Poppins is considered one of Disney's first classic live action films, with the role having been made iconic by Julie Andrews. But we've learned in a world where sequels are inevetable, nothing is off limits. We live in a world where there has been a Star Wars: Episode VII, and a Jurassic World, so the fact that Mary Poppins is getting a sequel shouldn't surprise anyone. For what its worth, the film has already done a great job putting together a talented cast which includes Emily Blunt as the lead, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meryl Streep, and Ben Whishaw. Yet just when we though the cast couldn't get any more talented, Colin Firth has also come on board for the sequel. 

According to Variety the Oscar winner will be playing a character named William Weatherall Wilkins, who will be the president of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. The bank was featured in the first Mary Poppins film and was even the subject of a song in the movie, but the character himself is new. Its unknown how Firth's character will play into the plot of the movie, but considering the film takes place in Depression-era London a bank owner probably isn't going to be the most likable character. I think there's a high chance Wilkins ends up being the film's villain, but thats just a guess

at this point.

As I stated above, Firth is joing an already very impressive cast which includes the likes of Emily Blunt (Sicario) taking over as the new Mary Poppins. Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda will play a lamplighter friend of hers named Jack he seems to be similar to Dick Van Dyke's Bert from the original film. Meryl Streep will be playing Poppins' cousin, and Ben Wishaw (Skyfall) and Emily Mortimer (Hugo) as the adult versions of Michael and Jane Banks he need Poppins help 25 years after the first movie.

So are you excited to see Mary Poppins Return? Would do you think of the cast so far? Let us know below!

'Logan' Trailer Gives Us The Mad Max Meets Wolverine Movie We've Been Waiting For

For X-Men fans and movie goers alike, its hard to imagine anyone but Hugh Jackman wielding Wolverine's iconic claws. But that will soon be a reality we'll all have to accept, as after two decades of playing the character Jackman will officially be making his last appearance as Wolverine. There has been speculation about the movies plot, character, and villains from the moment it was announced, but now we have a trailer to answer many of the questions. While there had been rumors that the movie would follow the famed Old Man Logan storyline fans have been waiting to see adapted, and this trailer suggests we may be getting a bit of that.

Below is the first trailer for Fox's Logan:

Right off the bat, the tone of this movie definitely seems darker than any past movies in the X-Men universe. The film is the R-rated Wolverine movie fans have been longing for, and judging by the violence in the trailer director James Mangold isn't going back on that promise. The trailer has already drawn comparison to the game The Last of Us, which also featured a grizzled lead character protecting a young girl in a post apocalyptic world. Wolverine will be protecting a young girl with powers like his own, who we expect to be his clone X-23. 

We get a lot of footage that is reminiscent of a Mad Max film, and we now know that Professor X will be pivotal to the story and tagging along for the majority of the adventure. Like in the Old Man Logan storyline, his healing abilities have begun to diminish and his age in starting to catch up to him. We also get several shots of the film's villains the Reavers and their leader Donald Pierce played by Boyd Holbrook (Narcos). Stephen Merchant's Caliban is surprisingly absent from the trailer, so its unknown how he will factor into the plot at this point. 

So what did you think of the Logan trailer? Do you like the tone they're going for? Let us know below!

'Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2' Teaser Poster And Trailer Give Us A Taste Of Their Next Adventure

Arguably one of Marvel's most surprisingly successful films, Guardians of the Galaxy even managed to catch comic book fans off guard with its charm. Fans have been anxiously waiting for their next opportunity to see Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Rocket Raccoon all on screen together again, and they won't have to wait too long. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set to hit next May, and director James Gunn has already promised a much bigger film with higher stakes. A number of new characters will also be introduced including Mantis, and Peter Quill's father Ego played by Kurt Russell. Now we have a better idea of what to expect thanks to a teaser trailer that was just released by Marvel.

Below is the teaser poster released by James Gunn:

And below is the first teaser trailer:

Unlike this week's other trailers for Logan and Assassin's Creed, a Guardians 2 trailer wasn't exactly on the radar. James Gunn's release of the stylish teaser poster was already a big surprise from fans earlier this morning, but now we also have quite a bit of footage from the film. The trailer doesn't reveal much aside from some new looks for returning characters, and some of the new settings the characters will be heading to. We also get a great exchange between Drax and Star Lord that promises the same humor that made the first film so fun. 

We don't get anything to revealing of course, including a lack of footage of any of the new characters. The forrest planet that the team is seen likely belongs to Ego the Living Planet, who will be played by Russell. Its still unknown how that will work, and whether Russell is going to be playing a literal planet or a human form of it. We also only see the core group along with new member Yondu, but no signs of Mantis or even Baby Groot. Baby Groot will of course be back though as we can see in the poster, and considering how popular he was among fans in the first movie.

So what do you think of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 poster and trailer? Are you excited for the movie? Let us know below!

'Stranger Things' Brings Back Two Familiar Faces And Adds Dacre Montgomery And Sadie Sink

This past summer, a little known show called Stranger Things made its debut on Netflix. No one knew much about it, including its cast of unknown young actors, its mysterious sci-fi plot, and its 1980s setting. But it didn't take long for the nostaglia and genius of Stranger Things to wow everyone around the world with a Netflix account, including several celebrities and just about all of Hollywood. The kids who starred on the show have since blown up on social media, and have made appearance on shows like Jimmy Fallon, and even the Emmys. With so much success, the series was bound to get a second season, and now we finally know two new faces that'll be coming to Hawkins, Indiana. 

Well to start things off, we know that the majority of the original cast will be returning, specifically the kids Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin. The main mystery is whether Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven will be returning, but that will likely remain under wraps until the show returns. We can also awesome we'll be seeing Will's mom, Harper, Jonathan, and Nancy return for the next set of adventures. We now have confirmation that Joe Keery will return as bully turned fan favorite Steve Harrington, and Noah Schnapp will return in a much larger capacity as Will Byers.

As far as the new cast goes, both Montgomery and Sink will be playing two new characters who cross paths with original gang, and are brother and sister. Sink's character is named Max and is described as "a tough and confident girl whose appearance, behavior and pursuits seem more typical of boys than of girls in this era. She has a complicated history and is generally suspicious of those around her." Montgomery on the other hand, who we'll see next year as Jason in Power Ranger is playing her older brother Billy who is "Max’s hyper-confident and edgy older step-brother. He steals girlfriends away from their boyfriends, is great at drinking games and drives a black Camaro. But lurking under his apparent charisma, is a violent and unpredictable nature."

Sink's character will most likely be interacting with the main group of kids, where as Billy will probably cross paths with Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan. We still don't know how these two will factor into the plot, but we do know they'll be important. There's still one more new character who has yet to be cast according to The Hollywood Reporter, and that's Roman who is "a male or a female of any ethnicity between the ages of 30 and 38. After growing up homeless with a drug-addicted mother, he or she suffered a great loss at an early age and has been seeking revenge ever since. Roman is ultimately an outsider who doesn’t understand how to connect with people." We'll most likely find out who's playing Roman in the coming weeks before season 2 starts shooting this month. 

So are you excited for season two of Stranger Things? Who would you like to see join the cast? Let us know below!

Disney Set To Remake 'The Lion King' In Live Action With Jon Favreau At The Helm

Alright so upon reading the title of this article you're probably pretty confused. How can they make a live action version of Lion King when every character in it is an animal? And why would Disney even remake a classic like the Lion King? To be honest with you, I actually have no idea about that second question. But in regards to the first question, following the success of this year's Jungle Book live action remake, the studio has apparently decided to use that same CGI style and same director (Iron Man's Jon Favreau) to readapt one of their most famous animated movies. Now whether we need this movie to be made or not is up for debate, but it seems Disney wasn't as hesitant as most fans are.

Disney came out to announce the project along with Favreau's name being attached to direct it. The studio also announced that thanks to the financial success and critical acclaim of Jungle Book, they will be developing a sequel to that film with Favreau also directing. It seems Disney has grown very fond of Jon Favreau, and he's found a niche directing their live action adaptions. The visual effects used to create the realistic animal in Jungle Book has also been a huge success, which is what encouraged the studio to retell the Lion King story with that same technology.

Unlike Jungle Book, the original Lion King is one of the most recent films on Disney's list of animated classics. Several of the actors who voiced characters in that film are still working today, and would most likely be willing to return if given the opportunity. While fans would love to see James Earl Jones return as Mufasa, Nathan Lane back as Timon, or Jeremy Irons as Scar, its likely Favreau will look for new names to take on the iconic roles considering this is a reimagining of the story. While the voices may not be the same, Disney has confirmed that the songs from the original film created by Elton John will be featured in the new movie. 

Disney has recently found a lot of success with their live action remakes, including this years Cinderella and Pete's Dragon which like Jungle Book were well received by fans and critics. The studio also already has their remake of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson set to hit theaters early next year, which is sure to be a hit with such a big name attached to the lead. It seems the studio has really found their way with their live action remakes, it they'll most likely continue to do it as long as they're successful. With Lion King in the works, now its just a question of which film is getting its live action remake next?

So are you happy Disney is making a live action remake of Lion King? Would you like to see the original cast return? If not, who would you cast as the new voice for this iconic roles? Let us know below!

Doug Liman Drops Out Of 'Gambit' To Direct The Revived 'Justice League Dark' For DC

Amongst all the talk of upcoming DC movies like Justice League, The Flash, and The Batman, many have already forgotten about the Justice League Dark movie. The projects has been in the pipe line for quite awhile, and unfortunately wasn't given much attention due to the studios sudden interest in rushing Suicide Squad to the big screen. Following Guillermo del Toro's (Pacific Rim) departure from the film it seemed as if Justice League Dark would never see the light of day, but surprisingly its been announced that it has once again gained traction with Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) now set to direct the project. 

Variety reports that DC and Warner Bros. have no brought Liman on board to direct the project for a still unidentified release date. Liman had previously been attached to direct the Gambit film being worked on at Fox starring Channing Tatum, but he has now left that project in favor of Justice League Dark. Gambit has been struggling and lost its original director Rupert Wyatt and nearly lost Tatum, and it now now longer has a 2017 release date. 

While one comic book movie is certainly taking a huge hit because of this news, another one is now in a much better position then it was in a few months ago. Del Toro's script will apparently still serve as a base for the movie, yet he couldn't direct himself due to his crowded schedule of projects. Del Toro has a strong history with fantasy and horror movies, even having adapted the popular Hellboy series in the past. DC and WB have seemingly prioritized Justice League Dark now, more than likely following the success of Suicide Squad with audiences (Not with critics). 

Much like Suicide Squad, this project is a risk for the studio as it branches away from their more well known characters. The company will be releasing an animated movie based on the team in a few months which is probably meant to familiarize audiences with characters such as John Constantine, Deadman, Swamp Thing, Zatanna, and Etrigan the Demon. DC's introduction of magic and fantasy in their cinematic universe didn't go as smooth as one would've hoped with Enchantress in Suicide Squad, so we can only hope the studio figures out how to handle these characters. We'll likely be hearing some casting news soon and we can probably expect some big names, particularly the often rumored Colin Farrell in the lead of John Constantine. 

So are you excited for Justice League Dark? Are you happy to see DC branching out to different projects? How would you like to see cast in the movie? Let us know below!
