Did Marvel CEO donate a Million bucks to Donald Trump?



This is depressing for a comic book reader.

Donald Trump announced the Marvel's CEO Ike Perimutter donated a million dollars to Trump's veterans gig.

THR reports
During the event, Trump made note that Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter and his wife, Laura, will donate $1 million to the fundraiser.

"One of the great, great men of our country in terms of business and talent," Trump said.

A rep for Perlmutter said: "The Perlmutters are thrilled to support their friend Donald Trump in his efforts to help veterans."

The Perlmutters also donated $2 million to Marco Rubio's campaign this season.
This stabs my geek heart. I never knew Ike was... a fool. Really, a million dollars?

I can't

Marvel Hires Ava DuVernay to Direct Black Panther



This is so good!

Ava DuVernay will be the director of the Black Panther movie! Miss Ava will be the first woman of color to direct a Marvel film. I just hope that she doesn't run into the issues Joss Whedon and Edgar Wright had with Marvel. However, if she does, I think she can hold it down.

Good Luck, Ava.

Stan Lee said there's a Black Panther film in the Works


io9 brought up an exciting bit of info!

At the Fan Expo Canada, Stan Lee was talking about the next wave of Marvel films. During that interview, he said:
We haven't made a Black Widow movie but she's been in some of our movies, and she will be featured more prominently as we move forward. And the chances are she will have her own movie because eventually all the superheroes are going to have their own movies. They are already working on Ant-Man, Dr. Strange and the Black Panther and there are others I am not allowed to talk about.
They are already working on a Black Panther film? Please don't play with my emotions... A Black Panther film in the works?

I need more info on this.

Marvel will Develop Four Original Series For Netflix


Marvel's going a different route for their comic book heroes. They are taking four of their well-known heroes and giving them a series each on Netflix.

The heroes are Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. And the cute piece is, they will interact with the Marvel Movie universe.

Netflix has committed to four, thirteen-episode series, which will start streaming in 2015. The kick-off event will be called "The Defenders", which some of us are familiar with in the comic world.

This is so cool!

So, Katee Sackhoff and Marvel have been talking about Movies?


Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from BSG) was featured in an interview with the guys from Schmoes Know Movies recently.

Around 32 minutes of this interview, they asked her about the rumored Marvel projects. For those who don't know, Katee is a fan-favorite to be Ms. Marvel. She has also said that she would like to play the role if it was ever offered.

Anywho, this is what she had to said about that:
Um… There’s been some stuff going on. Um… there’s been a lot of checking of availability… I don’t quite know exactly… I don’t know… there’s been a lot of questions about the first quarter of next year and then the…
The hosts talk over her, which makes the interview a bit messy, but it seems she has been in talks with Marvel. But is it for Ms. Marvel or something else?

Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director under fire for Homophobic and Sexist Article

Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Director James Gunn got a reality check the other day. The filmmaker created this "The 50 Superheroes You Most Want to Have Sex With" list with some graphic and horrible blurbs under several superheroes.

In fact, some of them are homophobic, see here:

This list sparked outrage and questions about James' character. A few geek sites called out James' foolishness and there's a petition on Change.org demanding Marvel/Disney to remove James from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

James, don't you know? Geeky Gays and girls run this show. You better watch your back.

MARVEL NOW: Uncanny Avengers and All New X-Men


Here are some more details on the new Marvel relaunch. Starting with the Uncanny Avengers
 UNCANNY AVENGERS: Writer Rick Remender mixes Avengers characters like Captain America and Thor together with such X-Men as Rogue and Havok in the flagship title of Marvel NOW!
 And more of Jean Grey's return with the All New X-Men:
ALL NEW X-MEN: Brian Bendis takes on the most eccenctric and controversy-baiting Marvel NOW! book. The pitch: The original five teenage X-Men time-travel to the present day. “Here’s the big question that the original X-Men are gonna be faced with: ‘We’re gonna grow up and this is what we’re going to to get? That is not acceptable.” NOV. 2012
So she does return, but how? And why? More to come comic fans.

A Marvel Reboot? Jean Grey Returns? All True!

The geeks are buzzing about the possible Marvel relaunch and the return of Jean Grey. Over the weekend, I heard about Marvel's reboot rumors with interesting titles such as Uncanny Avengers and another X-Men comic.

But today, we have learned that it's true and we also have an exclusive pic of Jean Grey!

EW reports
To answer your questions: Yes, this is Jean Grey — as in, the Jean Grey who’s been absent from Marvel comics ever since dying for a second time back in the mid-00s. And yes, she is modeling her vintage blue-and-yellow X-Men outfit from her Marvel Girl days. 

Does this mean that the fan-favorite character is finally returning? We can only confirm that her presence in the Marvel universe will not be imaginary.
Yes! More will be reveal tomorrow and at Comic Con. I know some Jean Grey are excited or worried. I will keep you posted.

Lil Romeo can NOT play The Black Panther


We've heard a lot about a possible Black Panther film coming from Marvel. Of course I'm excited, but most of that great feeling died, once I read that Lil Romeo was approached for the role.

According to BlackFilm.com, Romeo Miller said this about the BP role:

I would love to. I remember that before ‘Jumping the Broom’ got released, there were some producers were talking about shopping the script to some people and I was one of the people they contacted and was asked if it was something I would be interested in. You never know. I definitely want to take in and be the next big action hero. That may be something that’s cool.
I'm sorry, Romeo, but NO, NO, NO. I'm assuming this idea was from some poo putt studio or he was approached to play another role, but not the Black Panther.

The movie would tank!

Romeo acts, but he doesn't have the acting chops to pull this off. I hope Marvel Studios are not serious considering him for T'Challa. If they are, then this movie is doomed. Get a seasoned actor please. The King of Wakanda deserves better.
