Looks like we are finally going to get a MacFarlane sequel to the 1997 Spawn movie. Check out the video of his interview. Sound off on or group.
MacFarlane discussed his intentions for a sequel last October, stating that he wanted to make a more horror-tinged film as opposed to an “Iron Man redo.” He sees the sequel he’s written as more like “LA Confidential” or “The Departed” with a “ghost moving around in it.” Read the full article here.
The Marvel Universe is growing once again! In an interview recently Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeff Loeb, disclosed a few more details about the New Daredevil show coming on Netflix. Read his comments below:
When I watched The Avengers, which is really one of my favorite movies, during the scene when the sky opens up, the Chitauri are coming and there’s a giant battle over by Grand Central Station, even in the theater I was thinking, ‘In the true Marvel Universe if you go about ten blocks over and an avenue down, there’s a place called Hell’s Kitchen and in that world are characters like Daredevil and Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, Hero for Hire, and those characters are not going to be involved in an inter-warfare-universe-colliding incident. That’s what the Avengers do and they do it really, really well and those movies are incredible.
He goes on to say:
We wanted to have an opportunity to be able to tell stories about our street-level heroes and how that they could possibly interact in the world of Marvel without it feeling like it’s completely detached and by the same token feeling like it’s part of that world. And it’s very much how it is in the comics, which is that Daredevil — yes, one could argue that at some point he’s been an Avenger but hey, you know, the reality is that so has everybody else [laughs]. The idea is that this is the world of people who are there to protect the neighborhood and if you believe in the neighborhood the way you believe in the planet then the emotional context is just strong.
Looks like a lot more tie-ins are coming for the Marvel Universe. If you read more into his ‘Heroes for Hire’ quote then you’ll see what I mean. (Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist *Fingers Crossed). What do you guys think? Will you watch the series? Sound off on our group!
