It’s no secret that Man of Steel 2 was set back in favor of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They want to catch up to Marvel Studios. The upcoming film is essentially their foundation for a shared universe. The name entails the eventual formation of the Justice League. The latest addition? Jason Momoa as everyone’s favorite superhero whipping boy: Aquaman.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is still in theaters but that hasn’t stopped Fox or Bryan Singer from sharing what the next installment will be. Entitled X-Men: Apocalypse, the film will follow the X-Men facing off against – yeah, you guessed it: Apocalypse. Following the last two X-Men films, it will also be a period piece; this time taking place in the 1980s, arguably the best decade.
I’m behind on posting this. So behind.
Marvels’ The Avengers ended with a stinger (after credit scene) that revealed who was pulling Loki’s strings; and arguably one of Marvel’s more fearsome super villains: Thanos.
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.
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.
