First day of shooting for Civil War

It looks like the shooting for Captain America Civil War has just begun. Anthony Mackie has his game face on as Falcon while Chris Evans is shooting the breeze while sporting some sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Frank Grillo is showing off his intimidating Crossbones costume. From the looks of it, I'd say he belongs in the Nolanverse like a henchman for Bane. There is probably no chance of the Red Skull making an appearance in this movie unless Baron Zemo is just an alias for the newly revitalized Red Skull.

I'm looking forward to the Red Skull making a comeback in either Thor: Ragnarok or the Avengers: Infinity War but I'm more anxious to see Sin, Red Skull's daughter because her and Crossbones are supposed to be an infamous duo. Has anyone else heard any news about other casting calls.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get an image for Crossbones off of Instagram. Some websites are uptight when it comes to copying and pasting.

The Divisions in Captain America: Civil War

With the hype growing more and more about Captain America: Civil War, fans are wondering which side will all their heroes be on. Here's a plausible roster:

Pro: Iron Man/ Black Widow/ Ant-Man/ Maria Hill/ Sharon Carter/ Vision/ War Machine/ Hulk

Anti: Captain America/ Diamondback/ Cutthroat/ Nick Fury/ Falcon/ Winter Soldier/ Hawkeye/ Scarlet Witch

Neutral: Everett K Ross (Martin Freeman)/ Betty Ross/ Spider-Man/ Black Panther

Thunderbolts: Baron Zemo/ Red Hulk/ Crossbones

Leader: Samuel Philip Sterns gets his hands on the Extremis formula and makes himself as well as General Ross formidable opponents for the Avengers

Goliath: Erik Josten is a smuggler/ mercenary who has worked for Baron Zemo and has stolen a prototype suit from Cross Technologies that allows him to grow to tremendous heights

Swordsman: Werner von Strucker assumes the identity of Hawkeye's former mentor. Werner and his sister Andrea start an international incident in order reclaim the glory of HYDRA. Werner and his sister Andrea are killed by Zemo while under the guise of Citizen V in order to gain public approval

Baron Heinrich Zemo was killed during his occupation of Wakanda in WWII

Andrea von Strucker is killed by Baron Zemo

Mark Ruffalo recently commented during an interview that he wasn't going to be a part of the conflict. However, General Ross (William Hurt) has been confirmed as a member of Thunderbolts along with Baron Zemo and Crossbones. It would seem implausible if the Hulk wasn't included especially if the General becomes the Red Hulk.

What do u think? I will be making a list that will describe each character's role soon enough. Stay posted.

The Thunderbolts are coming!!! (Captain America: Civil War)

It has been recently brought to our attention Captain America: Civil War starts out with the Avengers being responsible for another international incident resulting in collateral damage. No doubt caused by Baron Zemo. With political pressure building up, a governing body of the entire world (possibly the UN) plans to install a system of accountability by ratifying the Superhuman Registration Act. The governing body wants the Avengers to work under them but some Avengers don't agree with the terms.

This opens a door for a new team of heroes who are actually villains...the Thunderbolts. Baron Helmut Zemo with his sadistic sidekick Crossbones will bring the pain (both physical and emotional). However, who better to keep these two rogues in line then General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and Dr. Samuel Sterns. It is my firm hope that actor Martin Freeman will be playing Samuel Sterns aka Leader and he develops an Extremis/ Hulk blood cocktail for Ross thereby transforming him into the Red Hulk.

How awesome will it be to see Martin Freeman play the pontific Leader who entices the people to join his so called loving embrace while at the same time turning the public against the Avengers. This would actually be a great move because Leader could brainwash Sharon Carter aka Agent 13 into killing Captain America. It should have been Dr. Faustus but the Agent Carter TV show stole him. There is only one setback. Mark Ruffalo and Liv Tyler have made no mention of coming back as Bruce Banner and Betty Ross. I am hopeful that they will confirm their roles soon.

With the Leader and Red Hulk being introduced this will save the Hulk from having to make anymore sequels since Universal Studios is playing hardball. At the same time though, She-Hulk could always adopt Hulk's remaining rogues and start a franchise for herself with Marvel Studios.

Unnecessary Deaths in Avengers 2 (Spoilers Beware)

Baron von Strucker and Quicksilver were unjustly killed off in Avengers Age of Ultron. The actor who played Baron von Strucker is a great actor but what puzzles me is that this actor was give a 9 movie picture deal contract. Why is he killed off so soon? If he is no longer playing Baron von Strucker then he should be casted as the Red Skull because we all need closure about where the Red Skull was transported to at the end of Captain America. He could also play a great Chameleon for the Spectacular Spider-Man film.

Quicksilver's death really made me upset. Pietro has a big role to play in the Inhumans film. He is meant to meet Crystal, the proclaimed princess of the Inhumans then have a powerful girl child with Crystal. The only way I see Pietro being resurrected is if they kept his body well preserved and Scarlet Witch gets help from Adam Warlock via the Soul Gem. The Soul Gem will more than likely show up in the Dr. Strange film. The only other way to reverse his death would be the Time gem which will appear in Thor: Ragnarok. However, time reversal could have unpredictable consequences.

The Jason Todd for Batman vs Superman movie

The guy they picked to play Jason Todd who will mentioned in the movie as the Robin that got killed will be played by David Bianchi. What I find hilarious is the vacant expression on his face. These casting directors are lazy as far as I'm concerned.

No Caption Provided

I suppose some of my fellow users are right when they say that studios are using race as a marketing technique. The only odd race change that Marvel has under their belt is Johnny Storm and Franklin Storm in the Fantastic Four reboot but with DC, that's an entirely different story. With this Jason Todd, he's mulatto like me. Only difference is he grew up in Rochester, NY while I hail from SoCal. Check out his bio on IMDB and maybe u can explain to me what his qualifications are for playing the Red Hood. DC's casting picks are becoming stranger and stranger.

An Infinity Stone in Avengers 2?

My sincerest apologies towards my fellow users who professed that Loki's scepter was an Infinity Stone. I didn't want to believe it for two reasons. First, I didn't think Thanos would be foolish enough to entrust an Infinity Stone to someone like Loki. Secondly, the scepter's gem had a blue glow to it. Soul Gem is green while the time gem is orange which would make the Mind Gem yellow. If the scepter's jewel glowed bright yellow then that would have put my speculations to rest.

However, this raises another question. Loki's scepter was originally used as a divining rod to find the Tessaract and it was used to disrupt the gateway that the Tessaract had opened. Could it be that the gems can repel or deflect one another's power? Can this be an advantage for the Avengers when they face Thanos?

As a side note, I think using Loki's staff as the Mind Gem is a cheat. I think the Mind Gem could have been utilized somewhere else and could have made a bigger impact. All that's left now is the Soul Gem and Time Gem. It seems pretty clear that the Soul Gem will make its debut in Dr. Strange with Adam Warlock and the Time Gem will be needed to reverse the devastation of Ragnarok.

Possible plot for Batman vs Superman (2016 film)

A great many of us have watched the trailer for Batman vs Superman and found that final scene between Batman and Superman to be captivating as well as confusing. For Batman to threaten the Man of Steel, Superman must have screwed up in a big way. Here's one way it may play out.

Bruce Wayne has hung up the cape and cowl because Jason Todd is dead. Bruce acknowledges that Superman is a plausible threat but he maintains an arm's length by observing Clark's activities and those closest to him. At the same time, Bruce is undergoing a joint venture with Lex Luthor. Lex is establishing a new wave of weapons that are designed to take on the greatest of threats like Superman. However, Bruce explains to Lex that their joint venture was based on the idea to design weapons that will pacify the enemy and not to kill.

At the same time, Bruce is romantically involved with Diana Prince, a diplomat from Greece. Bruce and Diana talk about Maxie Zeus, a deranged Gotham crime boss whose criminal empire stretches as far as Metropolis. Maxie Zeus is the avatar of the thunder god Zeus and Diana's father. Over time, most of the gods and goddesses sought out avatars to carry on their essence since humanity began to stray from the old ways and what was once religion became mythology.

Zeus' criminal activities have gained Superman's attention. Zeus thinks Superman is Apollo, the sun god and considers Clark's interference as a challenge to his right to rule Olympus. Zeus kidnaps Lois Lane and makes a public announcement to Superman. Superman must accept Zeus' challenge or Lois will be sacrificed in Zeus' honor. Diana pleads with Bruce to help her but Bruce refuses to get involved. Diana and Clark face off against Zeus. Clark manages to deflect one of Zeus' lightning bolts but it hits Diana instead. Superman destroys Zeus' human form and Diana falls into a coma.

Bruce decides to take up the cape and cowl once again but with a deadly addition...Kryptonite. Meanwhile, the information broker known as the Riddler is contacted by Lex Luthor. Luthor wants to destroy Superman and Bruce Wayne by exposing all their faults. Riddler accepts Luthor's request and decides to target all those closest to Superman and Bruce Wayne, starting with Lois Lane and Alfred Pennyworth.\

The reason why I chose the Riddler and Maxie Zeus is because these particular Batman rogues seem well suited for the two actors who have been casted for unknown roles. Although one of these actors could also play Ares, the God of War and it could be implied that it is he who creates the tension between Batman and Superman in order to satisfy his sick gratification for starting conflict

Riddler: Scoot McNairy

Maxie Zeus or Ares: Callan Mulvey

The latest Suicide Squad casting calls!!!

The casting of Ike Barinholtz and Jim Parrick have been under incredible speculation and rumors. Rumors so far believe that Parrick is going to be Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke and Barinholtz as Hugo Strange. I really hope that Hugo Strange speculation is just an exaggeration. Karel Roden (Rasputin from the Hellboy movie) would be the smartest casting pick for Hugo Strange. Ike would be better suited for someone like Firefly or Killer Moth.

As for Deathstroke, I really can't see why the Suicide Squad movie would need Deathstroke if Rick Flagg is already involved. Deathstroke and Rick Flag serve as team leaders for the Suicide Squad but with the two of them in the same movie, it would make things clustered. I'm still really curious about what the plot is for this movie. With Joker and Killer Croc's involvement, it really sounds like this movie is going to be a rehash of Batman: Assault on Arkham. Personally, I wouldn't mind because it would expand on the origins of each squad member plus I really loved Assault on Arkham.

Riddler for Batman vs Superman???

No Caption Provided

This logo could just be an Easter egg to get the crowds pumped for the movie especially since there has been no confirmation about a lead or star studded actor that has been casted for an unspecified role. As far as we know, Cyborg is getting a bit part along with Aquaman. The lead heroes are Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. If I had to pick another lead villain to match Lex Luthor, it would probably be Maxie Zeus since the Joker is off the table.

Maxie Zeus could be played off as the avatar of Zeus or as the actual god of thunder and lightning. Thanks to New 52, Wonder Woman's parentage has been altered and now Zeus is Diana's biological father. Maxie would be a formidable opponent for all three heroes plus one of the driving themes for this movie is idea of being a savior and the proclamation of godhood.

However, this is all wishful thinking and mute since the movie is just about wrapped up. If Snyder really wanted Jesse Eisenberg in this movie then I would have casted him as the Riddler since Jesse can play a pompous ass pretty well. Jesse's meek disposition kinda kills the reverence that I have for Lex Luthor. What do u think?

Suicide Squad Revamped Movie Plot

The racial changes for certain Suicide Squad members keep on coming. Despite the controversy with Will Smith playing Deadshot, it has been confirmed that Plastique will be played by Karen Fukuhara. In the comic books, Plastique is a Canadian fundamentalist who specializes in bombs and demolitions. Why they chose an Japanese girl to play a Canadian is beyond me. Personally, if I were able to make some last minute changes I would have Cara Delevingne play Plastique and I would cast Karen Fukuhara as Enchantress since her real name is June Moon (Korean descent).

On the flip side, two more actors have been added to the cast. Native American actor Adam Beach and Ike Barinholtz which begs the question what will the plot be for the Suicide Squad movie. Here is my take on it: Adam Beach will play Deacon Joseph Blackfire who has a supernatural effect on people which would explain why Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) is brought into the fold. Perhaps Deacon Blackfire has taken over Arkham Asylum and only the Suicide Squad can save the hostages in Arkham.

More than likely this sounds like a revamp of Batman Eternal where Deacon Blackfire took over Arkham and then caused Arkham to fall into the depths of the underworld. Aside from Jared Leto playing the Joker, it has also been confirmed that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be playing Killer Croc. Perhaps Killer Croc will be the muscle behind Joker's deviant intellect at Arkham. As for Ike Barinholtz, maybe he will be playing another notable Arkham inmate like Zsasz, Ratcatcher, Firefly or Killer Moth. Its still touch and go if Jesse Eisenberg will be reprising his role as Lex Luhtor in this movie (I really hope not).
