Awesome Marvel

(Season 1 Spoilers) The teaser for season two of Netflix and Marvel’s awesome show offers no footage from the show, but it uses an artful approach to recap Matt Murdock’s story, and hints at the arrival of Elektra (Élodie Yung) and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal). Drops 3/18/16.

(PG-13: Language) The latest trailer for Deadpool is predictably filled with his abridged origin story, snark and F-bombs. But the real treat for us came towards the end when we see Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

We’ve already seen how Ant-Man should have ended. Now find out how the movie began: as a freakin’ draft for Iron Man. Seriously that ending scene was just Marvel taunting folks like us with short term memory.

Bryan Singer returns once again to the X-Men franchise, jumping forward to 1983 this time, and introducing the evil mutant Apocalypse, a villain whose power is to absorb the powers of other mutants. And Professor X finally shaves his head.

The world’s governments want superheroes to be accountable for their actions, with Cap and Iron Man taking opposing stances. The film adaptation of Marvel’s hit comic book crossover appears to be much smaller in scale, but we’ll take what we can get.

A 13-disc set with digital, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D copies of Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Captain America 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers 2 and Ant-Man. It also has a bonus disc with over 2 hours of extra content and a life-size replica of the Morag Orb (the relic Star-Lord stole in GotG.)

A look at the latest live-action Marvel series, with the awesome Kristen Ritter in the title role – a failed superhero who attempts to rebuild her life as a detective in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. We’re looking forward to seeing David Tennant as the bad guy. Drops 11/20 on Netflix.

How It Should Have Ended shows a more realistic beginning and ending to Ant-Man. The result is Hank Pym & His Keychain: a 30-minute movie that doesn’t include Ant-Man at all. Though if that’s how things play out then Hank shouldn’t have bothered to recruit Scott.

(SPOILERS) There are many concise recaps of the Civil War comics online, but if you want to be entertained as well Comicstorian’s summary is a great watch. Comics Explained has more details (and also the, uh, comics themselves).

Marvel is releasing animated shorts about the origin stories of the Guardians of the Galaxy to promote their upcoming Disney XD TV show. First up are Star-Lord and Groot. They don’t exactly reveal much, but they’re still fun to watch.

(PG-13 Language) As promised, the first full trailer for Deadpool has dropped, giving us the backstory of mild-mannered Wade Wilson, the experiment that changed him forever, and the emergence of his Merc with a Mouth persona.

This trailer for the Fantastic Four re-reboot is notable for two things. First of all, it’s the most comprehensive look yet at the background stories of Marvel’s royal family. Then there’s its special announcement.

(PG-13 Language) Yeah, we hate trailers for trailers as much as the next guy, but we’ll make an exception for this foul-mouthed trailer hype from the lips of Deadpool himself. Plus, we only have to wait a day for the real deal.

(PG-13 Language) A group of sci-fi and fantasy fans have had it with the barrage of Marvel superhero movies, so they’ve decided to skip Ant-Man. But their Marvel-loving friend Leigh knows how to push their buttons.

Illustrator Josh Lynch has an ongoing series of illustrations where he turns Marvel superheroes into dogs. We can’t decide which one we like best. MODOG is probably the right answer, but we love the Mr. Fantastic dachshund so much.

This Is Productions presents their take on the title sequence for the upcoming live-action Doctor Strange movie, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. They juxtaposed Strange’s old Marvel comics with The Flaming Lips’ W.A.N.D.
