It's official - Sam Wilson has embraced the role of Captain America following the finale of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier... And now a fourth Cap film is confirmed to be in the works following that as reported by THR!

Gundam Live-Action Film being developed for Legendary and Netflix by Jordan Vogt-Roberts

 


One of Japan's biggest popculture and mecha franchises is getting the long awaited live-action treatment it deserves (not counting the Ready Player One cameo appearance), as Variety reports that Kong: Skull Island and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has been tasked with directing a Gundam live-action movie for Legendary and Netflix!

According to the report, famed comic book writer Brian K. Vaughan will also be joining the project as executive producer - and writing the screenplay! There's no word yet on what exact iteration of Gundam that will be adapted by the director, Legendary, and Netflix - but the safest and most popular would definitely be the original Universal Century timeline that began with the original Mobile Suit Gundam series released on April of 1979! That story debuted the titular mecha with Amuro Ray as its pilot, and chronicled his journey with the crew of the White Base as they battled Char Aznable and the Republic of Zeon during the events of the "One Year War".

It appears that Marvel's "What If?" series just got another teaser image popping up in the wild, as several posts around social media have featured a poster of the upcoming animated show features a gathering of heroes alongside The Watcher himself Uatu - dubbed as the "Guardians of the Multiverse"

In the poster (which was also reported by Comic Book Movie), we have Peggy Carter/ Captain Britain, Erik Killmonger, Gamora, T'Challa as Star-Lord, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, and Thor... So that makes for quite the multiverse gathering of heroes and probably an idea of the endgame of this show. The first season of this animated series is scheduled to be released in the middle of 2021 and will consist of 10 episodes, and it's part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe which already began with WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Solder in Disney +.

Kamen Rider Black Sun announced as 50 Years of Kamen Rider is celebrated today!

 



One of the most popular iterations of Kamen Rider who hails from the Showa era is getting the reboot treatment he deserves, as the official Kamen Rider Web website has announced "Kamen Rider Black Sun" - the reincarnation of Kamen Rider Black and a new series that will debut in 2022! This is to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Kamen Rider - which began with the original Kamen Rider in 1976 as played by the legendary Hiroshi Fujioka!

Here's the press release from Kamen Rider Web.

Kamen Rider (original work by Shotaro Ishinomori) was first broadcast on TV Asahi affiliates in 1971. For half a century, from the original Showa Era series through Kamen Rider Saber, the second series of the Reiwa Era, successive incarnations of the Masked Rider superhero have entertained viewers of all ages. 

Now, in 2021, the Kamen Rider series marks its 50th anniversary. Commemorating this 50th Anniversary milestone, a remake of the highly popular Kamen Rider Black series has been announced. A new interpretation of a story steeped in the pathos of the hero’s harsh fate, Kamen Rider Black returns to the screen after a hiatus of more than 30 years, reincarnated as Kamen Rider Black Sun. 

Commissioned for the logo, calligrapher Souun Takeda has created a powerful image that embodies the heroic worldview of the new series. 

Named as director for this project is master filmmaker Kazuya Shiraishi, known for hit films including Kyoaku and The Blood of Wolves. Inspired by the Kamen Rider Black series released in 1987, Shiraishi will adopt an innovative perspective for his all-new interpretation of the legendary hero, Kamen Rider BLACK SUN.
Also, the official TOEI Tokusatsu YouTube channel has uploaded the first episode of Kamen Rider Black in full! Watch it for Nostalgia and see the original Kamen Rider Black/ Minami Kotaro as played by Tetsuo Kurata!
