Has Emma Frost Been Frozen Out Of X-Men: Days Of Future Past?

If there's one complaint we have about X-Men: First Class, it's that the kick-ass character of Emma Frost was woefully underused. Despite January Jones' admirable ability to carry off the character's skimpy wardrobe, she didn't really have much to do, except stand around looking hot - a shameful waste of an intelligent, witty, powerful X-Man. So it would be a pity, but no surprise if Frost was left out of the sequel altogether. Which looks like...

Dear James Gunn... Carrey? Sandler? Really?

Last September, we did a tweet on Twitter about how much we love James Gunn after his absolutely adorable announcement confirming he'd been chosen to helm Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy. He then favourited that tweet (see pictorial evidence below), which made us love him more. (Yep, we're that shallow. What of it?)Then there was the whole hoo-ha over that blog post, an incident which put him at a stern 'Hmm' in our estimations, and the ensuing...

Batman Movie Reboot For 2017?

We love Batman. Bruce Wayne, in whatever guise, wins as far as we're concerned.But, as much as we're fond of The Dark Knight, isn't it kind of overkill to reboot the movie version of the character just five years after Christopher Nolan's epic and genre-defining trilogy starring Christian Bale came to its gripping conclusion?Rumour has it that Warner Bros is planning on bringing Gotham's hero back in 2017 with a new on-screen incarnation of the Caped...

There's been all kinds of gossip floating around the internet regarding Joss 'The Great' Whedon's upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D pilot of late. So here it is for you… in neat little bite sized chunks… which is in no way a feature cleverly designed to cover up the fact we haven't gotten around to reporting on a lot of it…#1.

With Joss 'The Great' Whedon (all hail, all hail, etc, etc) working his nails to the bone on The Avengers sequel and the S.H.I.E.L.D TV series and, presumably, managing to have himself a life too, we wouldn't have thought that he'd have much time for anything else.
