This movie is going to do well.

ooga chaka

Very excited for this mainly because I have NO IDEA what this comic series is about, so I don't have to sit through the movie thinking "Oh this is gonna happen next"....also the characters are kooky as hell, looks damn fun

Edgar Wright drops out of Ant-Man. A big blow, his style was perfect for the movie.

just heard about that too can't believe it -_- Marvel micro manages waaaaay too much hopefully the film still ends up alright with just a 1 year to release...

Fan made trailer, but if this was real, I would watch the crap out of it.

DC announced their cinematic universe today too

they're planning on 7 films over the next few years

Shazam :lawl:

I remember seeing that show growing up. Don't remember anything about it though, I think it was a comedy. Is he their goofball character?

lol shazam aka Captain Marvel (he used to shout shazam to get his powers)

he's the Magical powered Superman basically ;)

in the new incarnation they changed his backstory a little bit and he's called Shazam instead

He's a kid that gets chosen to take over ownership of magic or something or other (power of the greek gods)

and his arch enemy is the original shazam turned evil called Black Adam

I guess he's like DCs version of Thor (or thor is marvels version of shazam since shazam came out in the 30s and thor in the 60s)

So DC has a guy called Captain Marvel, who Marvel copied calling him Thor

:confused:

I wish they would make a Green Lantern Corp. movie and have it soley take place in space.

lol yeah its a bit of an odd situation but the wiki explains it


as for Thor and Shazam

'billy batson' would yell out "shazaaaam!" and lightning would strike him and he'd become Shazam (cpt marvel) the being with powers of the greek gods

Thor is a doctor with a magic stick and when he smacks it on the ground he becomes thor ;)

they both have a powerful old man that's their superior that doesn't do much

To make things even more confusing, there is a Captain Marvel (Captain Marvell) in the marvel universe as well.

I thought Thor didn't turn into Thor by using a stick but he used a human host body as disguise.

Marvel won the rights to using the name and so DC changed their Captain Marvel name to Shazam.

Don't really know about Thor but I know when he switches back to thor he uses the stick (which is mjolnir iirc) never read thor really

I have a feeling that dc movie list is fake. We'll see at comic con I guess

Why wouldn't Jean Jones, Martian Manhunter not get his own standalone?? Come on!

DC shoulda made something diff and had a villan as the main character.

enter the super villan world.

yeah i think they did that in the comics for a short stint/special called 'forever evil' it would be great to see some films from that pov

That's what sony is doing with their spiderman franchise. Sinister six and venom spin off

but spiderman series sucks. even the new one haha

The new ones do suck. Only thing keeping me interested on it is the prospect of a larger spidey universe coming our way....even still I'm not as interested in solo only heroes and he just needs to be in the avengers already. Come on sony/marvel!

Fox, Sony, and Marvel combine for a Marvel Civil War 3 part movie. Now that would be epic

How close does Guardians movie follow the comics?
