Marvel isn’t splitting ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ into two films

Disney/Marvel

Marvel is finally hearing our gripes about this whole two-part movie trend that has been happening since Harry Potter decided to split its final film into a two-part film. The upcoming Avengers film will still be coming out on May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019 but it won’t be two parts of the same story. The film coming out in 2018 will still be Avengers: Infinity War but the second film drops the Infinity War – Part II moniker. We don’t know yet what it’ll be called (right now it's just Avengers Untitled) but we’re relieved that it won’t be just the continuation of what is in Infinity War. Of course, knowing Marvel there will be a central story running through them. But we welcome the change.

‘Black Panther’ director gets involved with the character’s intro in ‘Civil War’

In the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s expected that movies and their characters come out as cohesively as possible, no matter who is headlining the film. So when Ryan Coogler, director of last year’s hit Creed, was taken onboard to direct the upcoming Black Panther film, they wanted Coogler to make some suggestions for the characters introduction in Captain America: Civil War.

According to Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president and Civil War producer, they had Coogler come in to watch the film. “We did a little bit of additional photography here and there and Ryan did a pass at a couple of those scenes. So there’s a line or two that Panther says in the movie that Ryan contributed to. [Civil War screenwriters] Chris [Markus] and Steve [McFeely] absorbed it into their draft, put their spin on it and words to it, but Ryan has started to be involved in earlier cuts of this movie.” Coogler’s Black Panther, which stars Chadwick Boseman, will hit theaters in February 16, 2018.

Lines get divided further in new 'Civil War' trailer

With Batman v. Superman done, Captain America: Civil War is ramping up promotions. The latest trailer shows Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America and Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man fighting for their sides. With Cap thinking that the "safest hands are still our own" and Iron Man doing "what has to be done to stop something worse." And someone seems to be playing both sides, if this new trailer is any indication. What do you think?

Here’s our first look at Marvel’s ‘Jessica Jones’ for Netflix

We’re getting our first official teaser of the second Netflix-exclusive Marvel show, Jessica Jones.  Jessica, played by Krysten Ritter, isn’t your typical superhero. She’s not your regular goody two-shoes and she doesn’t seem like a morning person either, as seen in this trailer. The show will be picking up from where Jessica Jones retires from being a hero and sets up her own detective agency in New York City. The show will be premiering on the streaming service on November 20^th.
