Aquaman stars Ludi Lin compares the upcoming superhero film starring Jason Momoa to Star Wars. Not much is known regarding the narrative of the James Wan project, but the film will be set after the events of Justice League — where the King of the Seven Seas is set to join forces with DC Extended Universe’s biggest superheroes in an effort to save the world from Steppenwolf and his legion of Parademons. That said, we can still expect that the standalone movie will give us some nods as to Arthur Curry’s backstory that led him to his position as the ruler of Atlantis.

Hollywood Indian 20:56:00 Add Comment

Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang appears to have an updated suit for Ant-Man and the Wasp as our first look at his battle garb is released online. After Marvel Studios successfully launched their biggest characters with their respective franchises, the film company delved into developing their lesser known properties who have lesser fan affinity than the main Avengers – including Rudd’s shrinking superhero. Due to production kerfuffles, many were worried about Ant-Man‘s chances at being on par in terms of success with other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. But thanks to the witty dialog and small-scale heist feel to it, Ant-Man became a worthy addition to the massive superhero franchise.

Following his debut film, Lang was next seen in Captain America: Civil War, where he sided with the super soldier, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), in his dispute with Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). This caused him ...

Disney's live-action The Lion King gets a writer

Disney’s animated classic, The Lion King, was a test project for the famed film studio, according to one of its directors. The Lion King itself is as interesting as the history behind the project, which was tagged as a “B-type” production back when it in development, more than two decades ago. At the time, many veteran Disney artists opted to work on the more appealing and formulaic Pocahontas instead, leaving the studio’s newbies to lead the charge on The Lion King. The end result, however, surprised everyone as the all-animal film set box office records and most importantly, continued Disney’s long tradition of coming out with timeless animated stories.

Regarded as one of the ...

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Game of Thrones ahead.]

–

To say that the Game of Thrones season 7 finale was packed with intense action and dramatic revelations would be an understatement of dragon-sized proportions. “The Dragon and The Wolf” saw Daenerys Targaryen finally come face-to-face with her arch enemy Cersei Lannister, confirmed beyond all doubt that Jon Snow is the child of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark and capped off proceedings with The Night King using an undead dragon to bring down The Wall.

Perhaps the most significant death in the episode however, was that of Petyr “Littlefinger” ...

New Justice League Toy Images of Superman, Batman, & The Flash #movienews

Hollywood Indian 06:41:00 Add Comment

New Justice League toy images have emerged, giving fans a closer look at Henry Cavill’s resurrected Superman, Ben Affleck’s returning Batman and Ezra Miller’s newcomer (barring a few cameos) The Flash. Absent from these images are Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg and the big bad Steppenwolf.

Justice League has had something of a troubled production, with director Zack Snyder departing after a personal tragedy and Joss Whedon stepping in to finish the film. Recently, it’s been confirmed that Whedon’s input to the Justice League reshoots is significant enough for him to get a co-writer credit.
