X-Men: Apocalypse Footage Leaks Mere Hours Before Official Trailer Debuts.



Another day, another leak. Although we have a few hours to go before the latest trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse to debut, some footage of said trailer has managed to get out onto the wild.
Take a look.




Along with this new trailer, there is an all new picture of Olivia Munn sporting her Psylocke costume.

This new picture comes courtesy of Cnet.com whom also got a chance to interview Ms. Munn and snuck a question regarding Psylocke.

You play Psylocke in X-Men. Why did the role appeal to you?

I've loved Psylocke for so long. She's a really, really strong badass female character in this comic book world where a lot of times the women don't get to be strong and badass. You see a lot of superheroes [who] don't always want to kill, and they'll avoid it if they can. She's never had a problem killing, and i like that she was the bad guy that had no problem being the bad guy. She's telekinetic and telepathic so she can read your mind. She can create anything with her mind. To win any fights, she can just create a mountain and have it fall on you, but she chooses to create a sword so she can kill up close and personal. I always thought that was really cool and badass.



X-Men: Apocalypse is slated to release May 27, 2016.

New Images For Batman v. Superman Are Starting To Leak! Possible Major Spoilers Ahead.

Image: EW / DC/Warner Bros.

With Batman v. Superman's premiere date right around the corner, new details and images are starting to emerge. The latest is that of a set of pictures that could or could not be potential spoilers, it all depends on the context in which it will be used in the film. And we'll get into that in a bit.


From what we have been getting and the arc that the film is taking inspiration from, this iteration of Batman will be that of a seasoned vigilante who is not above putting a real hurting unto his opponents. His new methods of fighting crime and those whom he perceives as being a danger to the well-being of his city are even viewed by some as a "brand of terror".
The results cannot be argued since the crime in Gotham City are said to be at an all-time low, therefore, he seems content on employing every trick in the book available to him. And he will need all those tricks and every single one of his gadgets when he takes on The Man of Steel.
The first picture we have is that of the fight between The Dark Knight and Superman which seems to be an all-out war that will leave him battered regardless of his  armored suit.

Funeral for a Friend?!

The second picture is that of Bruce Wayne at a funeral with a very somber look on his face. Next to him is none other than Diana Prince.

Given what we know from information that has been revealed in interviews by the cast, crew and people that have gotten inside access, along with some footage from the trailers, Diana Prince (Wonder Woman's alter ego) is a new resident of Metropolis and thus is not on a real friendly stage with either of the titular superheroes. Which begs the question, "who do Diana and Bruce have in common as to be saddened by the loss of that person?" A more intriguing and reasonable question would be, who do Wonder Woman and Batman have in common? Well, how about Superman?





With The Dark Knight going all out in trying to take The Man of Steel down and Lex Luthor trying near the impossible to "neutralize" him, for lack of a better word, could Superman's downfall be out of the question? An image from a private screening reveals an out for the count Superman.

This image from a private screening shows that Superman, in fact, does bleed.

The man or being responsible could be up for debate but if we were to go by comic lore, it will point directly at Doomsday. Doomsday who in this case is created by Lex Luthor from the remains of General Zod (Michael Shannon) to destroy Superman, could very well be the one who does the deed as his calling card to fame was that on his very first appearance was able to match Superman blow by blow in the 1992 story arc, Death of Superman.

A couple of weeks back, EW reporter, Anthony Breznican, who has seen the film and made a series of articles with the actors and Zack Snyder in order to get a better grasp as to what sets the heroes off on a collision course, shared some opinions/views pertaining to the film.


Number five could very well reference the scene that concludes with Superman on the floor incapacitated.

There are a couple of different reports/theories/rumors mainly from people who claim to have seen the film and some fan theories as to what actually happened that led to this picture of Superman.
One is that towards the end, while the Trinity are fighting an out of control Doomsday Superman sacrifices himself in an attempt to stop/kill Doomsday.

The second of those, according to some people  will not be the outcome of the battle between Superman and Doomsday but instead is a scenario that occurs in the often mentioned and confirmed Batman: Knightmare scene.
We have seen parts of the Batman: Knightmare sequence in the trailers already in which The Dark Knight fights soldiers who are sporting the insignia of Superman on their uniforms. Along with that, there was a horde of parademons in attack mode.
Some reports claim that Darkseid is the one to deliver the fatal blow. In this "knightmare", besides the parademons hinting at Darkseid,his "calling card", the Omega symbol is also featured in a shot of what appears to be a destroyed Metropolis.

What do you guys think? Will Superman really bite the dust when it is all said and done or could this be a "knightmare" induced vision?

Following the events of Man of Steel, Gotham City-based vigilante Batman travels to Metropolis to preemptively combat Superman, while another threat endangers humankind.

Batman v. Superman Supercut Trailer v.4


Image: DC/Warner Bros.

Over the past week, small pieces of new footage for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has popped up either on foreign commercials or local talk shows. Although that footage on it's own might not seem like a big deal, when stitched together with the rest of the footage it makes for an extraordinarly and exciting Supercut Trailer that I am sure most of you will enjoy.

A couple of weeks back, Flickering Myth decided to make a compilation of all the footage in an educated chronological order. This time however, YouTube user M1llion has gathered some of the newest released snippets and made his own updated edit.
Give it a look.


Footage: DC/Warner Bros. - Edit: M1llion

It seems that now more than ever, film studios have fallen prey to an unfortunate trend of showing some of their best set pieces, jokes or surprise twists in the trailers that promote their blockbuster movies.
What is that you say? "Trailers are supposed to show awesome, interesting content from the film to peak the general public's curiosity and get them interested!"
Well yes, you do have a point, but would you still be interested when by mistake a character or the plot is given away in a trailer? Sometimes those things happen, not because the director or the people behind the film wanted to, but because it regrettably was out of their hands. Studios from time to time hire outside companies to cut and throw together an intriguing and awesome trailer to gather momentum for when the film premieres. Unfortunately, communication between the studios, directors, producers and the likes is sometimes lacking, either because the work on the film is still ongoing or some other important issues that have to be resolved. Either way, it is a terrible thing when that happens for both, the fans and the people working day and night trying to make a film that would please fans and keep their business running. In the meantime, if you do not care for spoilers than all the power to you and let us delve into this amazing period where superheroes are brought to life and grace the silver screen like never before.

So far, I personally do not know how much of the movie has been given away with all the trailers released since the film will have a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes. Eleven minutes of trailers surely does not seem like a big deal but when it is compiled into a trailer and all the pieces connect somewhat flawlessly it does make you think, "did i already see the whole movie, or are the best parts still to come?"


Batman v. Superman is set to premiere on March 25, 2016 in North America and will have a running time of two hours and thirty one minutes (2h 31mins) along with a PG-13 rating.

Captain America: Civil War Trailer 2 Is Finally Here And It Is AMAZING!



It's finally here ladies and gentleman! The second trailer for Marvel's latest and highly anticipated film, Captain America: Civil War was released today. After hardly getting any new footage after the Super Bowl commercial, fans have been eagerly waiting for any new glimpses of the players taking part in this battle that splits The Avengers into two factions and pits them against each other.

While The Avengers were assembled to combat and prevent any and all threats to earth and it's people, the team has managed to do just that, except the destruction has unfortunately not been kept to a minimum. Three major disasters have taken place that The Avengers were involved in either directly or indirectly, and the world seems to want someone be held accountable

This new trailer has a good deal of new footage and gives us a bit better insight into what turns these former "friends" against each other. Along with the original roster sans Bruce Banner/Hulk and Thor, the whole team is here with a couple of new and spectacular allies lending a helping hand to try to shift the tide of the battle.

But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
