As much as I love Red Ronin, if all the studios begin cross-cinematic universe crossovers things may get a bit too chaotic.

Hulk fighting Superman

James Bond stranded on the Planet of the Apes

John Wick hunting down Kylo Ren

The Universal Monsters as drag racers vs. the Fast and the Furious family

[The Shadow]

I would seriously pay money to see a movie about Grandpa Munster in the Drag-U-LA school the Fast & Furious Family in racing.

It could be fun to see some genuine Marvel & DC crossover movies -- imagine the head trip for the average movie goer when the summer blockbusters from Marvel & Warner Brothers are a (multiple?) movie version of the Amalgam Universe event. I don't expect it will ever happen though, the people running Marvel & DC have been highly resistant to comic book crossovers for nearly two decades now.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige absolutely wants to get all of the Marvel Comics characters back and into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


This August, DC will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Jack Kirby's birth with a half-dozen one shots featuring some of his best-known characters.

^Why is DC celebrating Kirby's 100th harder than Marvel?

[mr.negativity]

[Specium Ray]

DC has always treated Kirby better! The only royalties he ever received from his superhero comics work during his lifetime was when Hanna Barbera used New Gods characters for a season of SuperFriends.

That Kammandi series is great btw.

The co-creator of Captain America, Fantastic Four, Avengers, Hulk, Iron Man and Black Panther will posthumously receive the honor July 14 from Disney CEO Bob Iger.

^Hey, can't fault him. Doing 7 of these huge movies within the span of 8 years must take an awful degree of stamina. Just maintaining that buff Captain America body has to be a full time job - Chris wants some chili cheese fries and a milkshake!

It's Here

Infinity Wars is looking sharp. Still kind of wish they left Thanos with his helmet though -- it's strange to see Hollywood's fear of masks apply to CGI characters as well.

[Dr Kain]

AW HELL YEAH!!!!

At long last, the moment I have been waiting for is finally happening. I am surprised they are jumping right into Thanos attacking the Earth. I was expecting the first movie to just have Thanos sending minions to Earth with the gathering of the teams. Except for Thanos not wearing his helmet for some reason, I loved every moment of this trailer. This is going to be epic!

Thanos needs his little hat.

[jellydonut25]

The internet is being SAVAGE towards Thanos' appearance.

[lhb412]

My spellcheck keeps changing 'Thanos' to 'Thanks' and I'm resistant to making my spellcheck learn the spelling.

As someone with a friend named Megan that thinks i intentionally call her Megalon, i would advise against adding Thanos to the dictionary...
