It’s very easy making comparisons to Marvel and DC as of late. Marvel has created a shared movie (and television) universe for their growing cast of superheroes. DC is attempting the same, but introducing characters right away. They’re in the beginning stages, so any thoughts at this point is speculation or assumptions.

The second trailer for Marvel Studios’ biggest gamble is out. Guardians of the Galaxy is shaping up to be the space opera of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With director James Gunn, they’re clearly going all out.
Last week director Zack Snyder tweeted a photo of Ben Affleck dressed as Batman next to the new Batmobile. The new suit is clearly a departure from previous film incarnations of Batman.
Last week it was announced that Power Rangers will reboot on the big screen. It wasn’t much a surprise since it’s the 20th anniversary of the show. (Power Rangers is also in its special anniversary season.)
We all joked that the currently filming Batman vs. Superman movie is practically a Justice League film; Ben Affleck joined as Batman against Henry Cavill’s Superman; Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman. Now the role of Cyborg was officially cast as well.
We’re getting closer to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past, and director Bryan Singer already mentioned filming X-Men: Apocalypse next. Despite that, and Wolverine getting a third movie, Fox wants to expand their movie universe. There’s talk about more spin-offs for other characters.
The ever-lovable Robin Williams stars in The Angriest Man in Brooklyn as a jerk who doesn’t hesitate to push people to their breaking point; as clearly shown in the trailer. He continuously demands to know how long he has to live by his doctor (Mila Kunis), who gives him a fake number (90 minutes) to desperately get him out of her office.
Tonight is the midnight showing for Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Like many others, I’ll be in line for it. The film already screened and opened in other places, and the main word is that what occurs in it will change the landscape of the Marvel Universe.
