Comic Book Movie News

This has to be the biggest news I've heard since I heard about Star Wars Episode 7.

First off, Marvel's news:

Marvel's The Avengers 2 is called The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ultron is a robot in the newer comic books. Ultron was created by Hank Pymn aka Ant Man. So I'm just guessing here, but since it's called Age of Ultron. Ant Man will make an appearance. Also more Avengers news is that Aaron Taylor Johnson (Kick Ass) is going to be playing Quicksilver. Quicksilver is originally a mutant from X-Men. He's actually the son of Magneto. He has super speed, so he's pretty much 'The Flash' of Marvel.

Now, DC's news:

The Man of Steel sequel will not only feature Superman, but also...wait for it...Batman! Oh yeah! Best news ever. Superman/Batman team up in a movie. These were also the best comic book story lines ever too. So the release date for the Superman/Batman movie is 2015. I am not actually sure if this the next sequel to Man of Steel, it is a sequel to Man of Steel, but according to Henry Cavil (Superman) there's going to be a Man of Steel 2. A different movie than the Superman/Batman movie. It's also been said that it is already being written for release next year.

Also, The Flash movie has a set release date for 2016 and The Justice League is set for 2017. Finally, DC movies are coming and going to be awesome! '

I love both DC and Marvel, but I probably like DC more for one major reason. It's more serious. Even in the comics. Marvel has always been more relaxed and humorous. DC has always been more serious, which makes more sense because if superheroes existed in the world today that is how they would have to be.

Some other news regarding The Avengers. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) have both expressed interest in having their characters join The Avengers. So hopefully, this will happen in Avengers 3? Keep your fingers crossed, because that movie would be the most awesome movie ever!

The Wolverine (July 26, 2013)
