What's up Doc?

Seems we'll be getting another Doctor Strange movie...

Scott Derrickson, who directed 2016's Doctor Strange, has “quietly finalized a deal” to direct Doctor Strange 2. Marvel is now out to writers and the super tentative plan is for the film to be the studio’s May 2021 release.

I really enjoyed the first movie and, although his character got snapped away at the end of the last Avengers movie, it would appear that he'll likely find his way back.

Not shocking in any way, but I'm okay with that.

Very.

Doctor Strange

EW has released a couple of the first images for the upcoming Doctor Strange movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch.



Since I don't really know anything about this Marvel character...I'm just gonna have to wait until a trailer comes out at some point this year to find out more.

But, I do enjoy movies dealing with magic.

Wonderfully Strange

A new Wonder Woman trailer will be shown before the new Doctor Strange movie that opens this weekend.

Can't. Wait!!

::Head explodes::

The Doctor is in

The first trailer for Doctor Strange was revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night....



This is another Marvel character that I know nothing about. However, the being said...this trailer looks pretty awesome (like a cross between Inception and Matrix, which is a great combo in my book!).

Plus, I love anything having to do with magic...so, I'm gonna be all over this when it comes out!

The movie opens November 4th.

Marvel Movies: Phase Three

Not to be outdone by DC announcing their recent slate of upcoming movies, Marvel Studios went ahead and announced their next phase of movies today at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.



Of note is that the 3rd Avengers movie will be split into two parts (Hello, wads-o-cash!), there will be a Captain Marvel movie (the female version, which I was unaware was even a thing), and a Black Panther movie (never heard of him, but Marvel fans seemed to be psyched).

So, there's that.

Still, kind of awesome.

Here's more info…

At a live event at Disney’s El Capitan Theater in Hollywood today, Marvel Studios officially announced the titles of several of their previously untitled movies. After Warner Bros. surprised fans a couple weeks ago by announcing several DC Comics movies at a shareholders meeting, many had speculated correctly that today’s fan event would be Marvel’s turn to tout their upcoming releases. Marvel Studios officially announced the following movie titles and release dates. 

2015: May 1: The Avengers: Age of Ultron 
         July 17: Ant-Man 

2016: May 6: Captain America 3
          November 4: Doctor Strange 

2017: May 5: Guardians of the Galaxy 2
          July 28: Thor: Ragnarok 
          November 3: Black Panther 

2018: May 4: The Avengers: Infinity War, Part One
          July 6: Captain Marvel 
          November 2: Inhumans 

2019: May 3: The Avengers: Infinity War, Part Two



Ms. Marvel doesn't have an "M" on her suit.

How am I supposed to know who she is?

Get that lady an M, stat!

Strangely Fascinating

The production company that created many of the special effects for the movie Doctor Strange released a demo reel today that showed just how much detail went into creating some of their crazy visuals...



I already loved the movie, but appreciate it even more after seeing that.

Enjoyable.

Magically delicious

A new Doctor Strange trailer was released at Comic Con this weekend and, this time, we get to see some magic and more of the Inception-y world...



It's looking really good, so far!

The movie opens on November 4th.

Hear her roar

Wonder Woman had a great opening weekend....

In her maiden outing, Warner Bros’ Wonder Woman dominated the international box office — and came in higher than estimated on Sunday. The well-reviewed DC warrior cuffed a final $125M on 34,775 screens in 55 markets this weekend – up from yesterday’s estimate of $122.5M on 34,300. And that’s without such major hubs as France, Germany and more. 

In overall terms overseas, the start outperformed such key (and male-led) superhero comps as Thor 1 and 2, Iron Man 1 and 2, Guardians Of The Galaxy 1 and 2, Doctor Strange, Captain America 1 and 2, Ant-Man and Man Of Steel — and is now on par with Deadpool. 

The global cume on the Patty Jenkins-helmed DC pic is $228.1M. 

Domestically there was clearly extra girl power behind the $103.1M opening, yet internationally the sentiment is that to have reached the numbers Wonder Woman ascended to, the film is appealing to all audiences.

That's awesome news and I hope that it just keeps doing better. It's really a great film and one of the few Superhero movies that I think women will enjoy as much as men, if not more.

Thank Hera for Patty Jenkins directing this film and not allowing Warner Bros. to make another dark/angry DC movie.

This one has hope and joy, which is a very welcome change.

Strangely Entertaining

Jimmy Kimmel invited Doctor Strange to entertain at his kid's birthday party...it didn't quite go as expected.
