Wonder Woman is going to be in Batman vs Superman.  I don't think she's versusing anyone, or if she'll be as significant as the other two to make it more Trinity than World's Finest.

Gal Gadot is playing Wonder Woman (from the last three fast and the furious movies, Han's love interest).  Other rumors about the movie, all probably true

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Nightwing, Lex Luthor, and Doomsday show up.  And apparently Wonder Woman will be Batman's love interest.

Gonna be so bad, we'll wish for the glory days of Green Lantern.

3 villains in Spiderman

The entire DC universe in Superman vs. Batman

Batman and Robin are going to have company

[Yeti]

I finally saw Avatar, not nearly as good as the initial hype, not nearly as bad as the backlash.

[Yeti]

That's pretty cool that they got Emperor Palpatine as the villain in this one.

And a Decepticon!

ryan reynolds wishes he could be in this 



seriously though he's wishing he could be in this, or any production really.

If you didn't watch it on an Imax or equivalent screen in 3D, then you've missed out on a chunk of the experience.

Does anyone care about Wonder Woman? Or Green Lantern? Or any DC character outside of Batman, let's be real.

DC has some good Vertigo characters (I mean, a Fables movie would be pretty boss, Constantine, Preacher is going to pilot at AMC)

Mainstream, uh... ... I like Booster Gold?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I would actually love to see a reboot Batman trilogy that does the Damian Wayne arc (including a middle film with Dickbats) but ... we will never get that. Also that is Batman.

you son of a bitch

[cool breeze]

depends on which wonder woman or green lantern.

If this film version of Wonder Woman is running around yelling "fuck patriarchy" after punching Superman into an Olive Garden, maybe I'd be into that.

[Steve Contra]

I expect 75% of Batman vs. Superman to be fought entirely in, or at least undeath a sign for, Olive Garden

Then the after credits could be Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman eating at Olive Garden.

Hobbit 2 will have trailers for:

- Interstellar (Nolan sci-fi)
- Jupiter Ascending (Wachowski sci-fi)
- Godzilla
- 300 2 (meh)
- Edge of Tomorrow (All You Need is Kill)
- ASM 2 (meh)

[Rahxephon91]

Man almost want to see the Hobbit just for those. Almost.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's hard to get hyped about an Interstellar teaser trailer. I bet it'll be exactly like the Inception teaser, which didn't show anything.

[Tasty]

Really interested in Jupiter too, I expect a ton of people will say it's crap though. The premise is pretty laughable, but in Wachowskis I trust. (Loved Cloud Atlas.)

[Great Rumbler]

That's a pretty good lineup of trailers.

[Barry Egan]

oh man Jupiter Ascending sound so dumb.  Can't wait to see it.

The movie event of the year just got better.

[cool breeze]

they'll all show up online on friday, right?

if Godzilla can match the tone of that leaked teaser 

[Diunx]

Have no interest in the hobbit even though I liked the first one, those movies are just to damn long, not even Godzilla is gonna make me go.

[Diunx]

[Madrun Badrun]

Wait is the sinister 6 going to be in this?

[Diunx]

in the next one probably.

[Madrun Badrun]

That's a strange thing to but so much time into a trailer then.  O well looks great.

[Rahxephon91]

That looked pretty damn awesome.

Now that they are done with origin, we can get to the meat.

[Tasty]

Looks meh.

I don't hate the new Harry as much as I thought I would, even though no one is James Franco.

[cool breeze]

The action looks great and spider-man-like.  Weird tone to the trailer.  The last trailer was more comedic, less "Spider-Man: Secrets"
 

[Rahxephon91]

They have to save "Ultimate" for later. When they reboot it again.

[cool breeze]

They could have avoided a lot of fan ranting by just calling this series of Spider-Man movies Ultimate Spider-Man.  It's pretty clear at this point that's what they're adapting from, Gwen/MJ switch aside.

Doesn't "Ultimate" fall into a Disney/Marvel legal mess?

anyway, yeah, Amazing Spider-Man series is cherry picking parts from both but leans more towards Ultimate Spider-Man.  I bet if/when Venom is introduced, it'll be something developed at Oscorp.
 
 
In other comic book movie nonsense news, Bryan Singer announced X-Men Apocalypse is coming May 2016.

[Bebpo]

Looks fun.  Dane Dehaan has been a great actor in last couple of years since Chronicle (Place beyond the Pines, Kill Your Darlings) so it's cool seeing him in this, but yeah he seems out of place for the character.  Dunno if he'll make a good Harry/GG.

I assumed they were going that direction when his father poped up as a scientist working on medical things. I was really surprised there was no Venom tease in the 1st movie. I really thought the squeal would be just Venom. I assume we'll get at least a Venom tease here, but if the Sinister 6 is next do we really need Venom?

Amazing Spider-Man 3 and 4 already have dates.  Pure speculation but I assume

sinister six and black suit in the third one, with MJ and Brock introduced.  Ends with him taking the suit off.  Venom in the fourth one.

Maybe not.  How will you keep audiences enthused with one hero and one villain in 2018?

You're thinking of the cartons, that has nothing to do with the movies.

Yes, but what he's saying is Sony might not have the rights to the "Ultimate Spiderman" name

[Tasty]

Why would they have Amazing but not Ultimate? They're both names of Spider-man comic series.

[Steve Contra]

It's very possible at some point Marvel licensed out Amazing for movies and Ultimate for cartoons to avoid confusion (and make money).

[Mr. Gundam]

http://sciencefiction.com/2013/12/05/breaking-bryan-singer-announces-x-men-apocalypse/

Why did they announce this BEFORE Days of Future Past comes out? An Apocalypse reveal at the end would've been awesome.

[Rahxephon91]

Christoper Lee should be Apocolypse.

Ultimate wtf when he is revealed in that suit.

[Rahxephon91]

A simple sci-fi movie may just be what the Wachowski's need.

Until they screw it up with sequels.

[chronovore]

I want it to not suck, but that looks really goofy.

[Yeti]

I really liked how they did Cloud Atlas, the stories felt a lot more interwoven with each other than the book did, but they left out a LOT of things in the book.

[Tasty]

Well, yeah. I've gleaned some bits about the Sonmi story and it sounds much more fleshed out, but of course it would be.

I also heard the book is a lot more nihilistic than the "love conquers all"-ish message of the movie, and I'm OK with the movie changing that.

[Barry Egan]

the book is fantastic.  If you liked the movie you should definitely read it. 

[Rahxephon91]

I want it to not suck, but that looks really goofy.

Oh it looked and sounded a bit goofy. I don't think that's exactly a bad thing though. To me it just looked like some classic sci-fi adventure story, one that may be pretty fun.
