There is a rumor going around the internet involving the Marvel / Netflix series and it goes something like this The initial announcement for the Marvel / Netflix deal was to create series based on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist and then bring them all together into the Defenders Folks are referring[...]

Marvel Legacy is on the horizon now, and, with it, Marvel is promising fewer titles and a return of the classic heroes This seems unsurprising as their attempts to add new heroes and diversify their cast has been met with fan outcries, and their shipments to stores in North America have taken a drop The[...]

First day I'll have taken off Bleeding Cool in eight years. Which means it will be Saturday until I see what is so important about Marvel Legacy, Marvel's upcoming comic book and relaunch event, that will be announced on Friday. But important it apparently will be "Honoring the Past while Proudly Stepping Towards the Future", that kind[...]

Gendercrunching by Tim Hanley DC and Marvel posted notable losses in their overall totals of female creators in April, leaving both publishers well off of the high points they reached in 2016 We also begin our biannual visits to smaller direct market publishers, with stops at Image, Dark Horse, and IDW.

Thor is then forced into becoming a gladiator, which leads to his rather messy face and drastic haircut. And, as the movie is released in November, it looks like the Hulk comic book will reflect that with a new storyline "Return To The Planet Of The Hulk" as part of Marvel Legacy While Marvel Comics folk[...]

We wondered how Marvel would get around the restriction not to publish any comics called Fantastic Four, as placed upon it by chairman Ike Perlmutter after a particularly fruitless meeting with Fox Studios a few years ago. Marvel had teased to retailers a "Fantastic 3" image earlier in the year, but Bleeding Cool revealed that was[...]

Marvel released a new poster for the Netflix team-up show It has the entire cast standing together in black and white It's a pretty dynamic image and continues the tradition of this series having marketing that looks like album covers We also have a new series of motion posters that were posted to the various[...]

Most comic book readers agree that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby got it right the first time when they decided that "four" would be exactly the right number of fantastic for Marvel to launch Fantastic Four back in 1961 However, in recent days, Marvel seems to be second-guessing Stan and Jack, looking for a different[...]

Emmerich says that we could see an R-Rated DC film in the future. "I would be surprised if we didn't at some point make an R-rated DC movie," Emmerich said, with Variety saying that Emmerich "admires violent, irreverent and very adult comic-book movies" like Logan and Deadpool. Emmerich views the possibility of an R-Rated film as a[...]

Robert Downey Jr. posted a behind-the-scenes picture from the set of 'Avengers: Infinity War' featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Wong

The rumored flick would focus on Valeria and Franklin Richards, the children of Reed and Sue, and would have "an Incredibles vibe." Another option that would probably be better for everyone would be for Fox to simply give the rights to the Fantastic Four back to Marvel, but that doesn't seem likely to happen if[...]

Sony Animated Spider-Man movie has added two cast members including Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali and 'Atlanta' star Brian Tyree Henry.

It seems surprisingly, or unsurprisingly depending on your level of cynicism, low when compared to recent past Marvel super-mega-crossover events For comparison's sake, Comichron estimates that in June of 2016, Civil War II #1 (which was, by the way, the legitimate number one selling book that month), sold 381,737 copies The year prior, Secret Wars #1 sold[...]

The idea, says a studio source, is to build out a world gradually rather than launch one immediately, as they had been trying with Spider-Man villain ensemble Sinister Six, which has been shelved. It makes sense that Sony would look to the Marvel approach to universe building, given they abandoned their own attempts at a franchise[...]

Back in March when Unworthy Thor #5 hit, we told you, "We have Jone Foster, the Mighty Thor, we have Odinson the Unworthy Thor… and it seems that we have another one on the way." The solicitation blurb for The Mighty Thor #20 asks, "Who will hold the hammer now?" And it appears that we[...]

I honestly can't believe that we are getting a Capcom figure from Hasbro right now! This figure two-pack is going to be in support of the new Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite game coming out on September 19 The game looks awesome, and I have very high hopes for it, especially now! The game description, from[...]

Grahame-Smith is also the co-creator, head writer and executive producer of The Hard Times of RJ Berger, a TV comedy series on MTV. But he also did some script polishing on the Josh Trank movie. He has some Marvel comic book chops too — he wrote The Spider-Man Handbook: The Ultimate Training Manual, an examination of Marvel[...]

I just want to go home and cuddle my dog." Watts spoke about how integrating Peter Parker into the wider Marvel universe was one of the best parts of working on Spider-Man: Homecoming "That's where he was always meant to be, he was introduced to give a kid's perspective on this crazy world of superheroes, and[...]

Following in the success of Marvel's popular hip hop variant program, which exploited hip hop album art for profit… er, we mean, which paid tribute to classic hip hop album covers through a series of "homages," rock album variant covers will now begin rolling out from the publisher in September A bizarrely short press release[...]

Coming out of Heroescon, we're hearing that some retailers have been told to expect the number of Marvel titles on sale to fall Books will be cancelled due to natural attrition, but the publisher will also have fewer launches to follow. A few years ago, Boom! Studios made a big thing about cutting back on the[...]

Spinning out of Heroescon to Bleeding Cool's ears comes the word that the upcoming Spider-Man storyline in Amazing Spider-Man (possibly beginning with a Marvel Legacy renumbering of #788) will be dubbed The Fall of Parker. In the Amazing Spider-Man comic book, recent years have seen Peter Parker be an international multimedia mogul[...]

When I was told the other day from a very trustworthy source that Marvel Comics would not be bringing back The Fantastic Four with Marvel Legacy and Make Mine Marvel, they were being completely sincere It looks like a Fantastic Three is happening. Back when we first reported that Marvel Comics was to cancel all their[...]

We already know that Venom went from #6 to #150, as part of Marvel Legacy renumbering, taking the issue number of comic book series to where it would have been if it hadn't been multiple volumes, with relaunches and restarts. While Ultimates2, similarly, is going to Ultimates2 #100 But a lot of the other Marvel Comics titles[...]

There are, I think, 61 or 62 Marvel characters in it Yeah, there's a lot." "I think one particular scene, there's like 32 of us," Johansson explained, revealing borderline chaos on the set "There's a lot There's so many of us, I don't even know who's a Marvel character and who's a crew member."
