Xavier Can Walk?

Xavier can walk?

                If you look at the trailers for the upcoming film X-men: Days of future past you’ll find the shocking fact that young Xavier is walking.

How Xavier is walking is a mystery but movie producer Simon Kinberg told IGN  that it “is a big part of the story and his arc over the span of the movie,” stating that the movie is about Xavier “accepting his place in the chair.”

So why he is walking is unknown but it gives the impression that this movie is all about making Xavier the man we all know him to be, the bald leader in the wheelchair. Makes you wonder how Xavier avoided his paralysis but more so it makes you wonder what kind of confrontation this will make between the past and future Xaviers.

Is it a smart move to make Xavier the focal point of the movie? Or is it the idea the movie needs for it to stand out against the onslaught of hero movies?

Stan Lee Book Signing

Stan Lee in Guardians of the Galaxy

 

Originally Stan Lee announced that he would not appear in Guardians of the Galaxy quote “That’s the one group I didn’t create,” and “I’m not even sure who they all are.”  While this was disappointing news many fans could understand why this was the case.

Things have changed and Stan Lee revealed at Chicago’s C2E2 expo that he’s already filmed his scene in Guardians of the Galaxy and with yet another “pretty girl.” The Stan Lee cameos have been the topic of many conversations among fans where Stan has played many roles in the Marvel universe from Generals, to librarians, from Hugh Hefner in Iron Man, to the hero non believer in Avengers fans everywhere enjoy the creator himself showing up in the films that make up his legacy.

So fans get ready to see Stan Lee in Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters August 1st.

Defenders Assemble

 

Defenders

Defenders Assemble

We already know that Defenders will appear on Netflix starting off with Daredevil to appear for 13 episodes and then following with shows revolving around the characters Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. The goal of this is introduce characters that focus less on the flashy flamboyant characters and focus more on the darker side of the Marvel Universe.

We already know that Daredevil played by DC’s new Batman Ben Affleck was not the most popular Marvel movie, but how will Marvel bring justice to the crimson hero? We just have to wait and see as we still know very little about the show, but what we do know is with all four heroes it will eventually lead up to the four heroes teaming together to form the group The Defenders.

If that wasn’t amazing enough Kevin Smith confirmed that this is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The question remains will the Defenders just play off of the movies like Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or will the Defenders finish their arc and make an appearance in Avengers 3?

Samuel L. Jackson’s Marvel Contract Almost Up

NickFury

Samuel L. Jackson’s Marvel Contract almost up

Originally Samuel L. Jackson signed a deal with Marvel Studios to play the iconic Nick Fury in nine movies, and with Captain America: The Winter Soldier coming out soon his contract is almost up.

Jackson has already played in six of the nine movies he signed for which include Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Also with Avengers 2: Age of Ultron that takes his total up to seven.

With so many movies coming out after Avengers 2, it would be wise for Marvel to negotiate a new deal with Jackson so that he doesn’t use up all his movies by Avengers 3 because you can’t make an Avengers movie without Nick Fury, and you won’t find someone who can play Nick Fury like Samuel L. Jackson.

The good news is Jackson is willing to continue doing Marvel movies if an offer is made.
