Godzilla: Comic-Con Trailer released online

What was shown in this year's San Diego Comic Con finally makes its way online... And triumphantly proves that the King Of Monsters is indeed coming back next year... WITH A VENGEANCE.

SDCC '13: Avengers 2 is officially titled as "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

Following the Marvel Studios panel at the San Diego Comic Con, The Avengers director Joss Whedon officially revealed and announced the title to his 2015 Avengers sequel, and it's called "Avengers: Age Of Ultron".

Naturally, the title comes from the recently concluded early 2013 Marvel Comics event "Age Of Ultron", and will probably clue in to introduce the robot menace and creation of Hank "Ant-Man" Pym as the primary antagonist instead of Thanos (who was teased at the end of The Avengers in 2012). Still, this could be a play for words and go differently, and characters like The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will also be officially introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so only time will tell how this goes. It's also unclear how 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy will connect and lead on to this film, so we can only imagine what Marvel's got in store, not to mention the "surprise role" Fast and Furious series & Riddick star Vin Diesel will have in the MCU. 

Age Of Ultron may have possibilities and will introduce another classic Avengers villain into the fold... But it's still a mystery on what exactly will occur at the end of Phase Two. Phase Three also begins after this film with "Ant-Man" directed by Edgar Wright, so this is definitely a setup film for that. Either way, looking forward to the return and expansion of Earth's Mightiest Heroes on film still, and it comes in the same year as the recently announced "Superman/ Batman" film, which will definitely make 2015 a BIG YEAR for popculture movies!

Avengers: Age Of Ultron sees release on May 2, 2015!

SDCC '13: Superman/ Batman... IT'S OFFICIAL!

As the reports speculated and suggested, it indeed has been confirmed.

Straight from the mouth of Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder, Superman/ Batman is indeed going to happen, and it's been OFFICIALLY TEASED AND ANNOUNCED at the end of the Warner Bros. panel at the San Diego Comic Con.

Words cannot describe the feeling right now so many have. DC Cinematic Universe... IT'S ABOUT TIME!



And as seen from this Instagram post... IT'S DAMN TRUE! (UPDATE: AND the official Tweet from WB themselves!)


UPDATE: Here's the official PRESS RELEASE from WB themselves via Superherohype!

On the heels of the worldwide success of "Man of Steel," director Zack Snyder is bringing together the two greatest Super Heroes of all time—Batman and Superman—for the first time on the big screen. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

"Whilst our ‘Dark Knight' trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack's fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can't wait to see what Zack does with these characters."

The current hit, "Man of Steel," has taken in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and climbing. Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcoming film brings back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. The new Batman has yet to be cast.

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date in Summer 2015.

Silverman stated, "Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker, but beyond that, he's a fan first and he utterly gets this genre. We could not think of anyone better suited to the task of bringing these iconic Super Heroes to the screen in his own way." Kroll added, "We are thrilled to be back in business with Zack and his team on this next movie. The success of ‘Man of Steel' is a wonderful testament to the love and support that both fans and new audiences, worldwide, have for these characters. We are very excited to see what Zack has in store for all of us."

Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment, noted, "Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere. All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack's continuing vision for the DC Universe."

Zack Snyder, who made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con today, breaking the news to audiences there, later said, "I'm so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can't wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter. Let's face it, it's beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world." 

The new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

Thomas offered, "Whilst our ‘Dark Knight' trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack's fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can't wait to see what Zack does with these characters."

The film is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, and Batman characters created by Bob Kane, published by DC Entertainment.

And there you have it... Man Of Steel 2/ Superman/ Batman should be in theaters by Summer 2015!

SDCC '13: Rumor: DC Movies like Superman/ Batman movie may be announced at SDCC; The possibilities of starting up a shared DC Movie Universe this way

Take this with a grain of salt and there's no official confirmation yet (until announcement), but word on the grapevine's already spreading that two of DC Comics' most important heroes and icons will be starring together in their own feature team-up film, and COULD be announced during the WB Panel at the San Diego Comic Con.

In anticipation and build up for a shared DC Movie Universe, it looks like The Hollywood Reporter is picking up reports that the next big DC film may be in fact a Superman/ Batman film, where Henry Cavill returns to the big screen as Superman and teams up with a new actor playing Batman. Zack Snyder of course is set to return as director after Man Of Steel, with David S. Goyer penning the screenplay.

Now this is all rumor and hear say at the moment, and the Warner Bros. Panel at the San Diego Comic Con is currently happening. However, given the impending nature of reintroducing Batman into a DC Movie Universe with Cavill's Man Of Steel, this makes perfect sense and is a good lead on to a potential Justice League film. The idea was also teased back in 2007 with a "Superman/ Batman" poster seen in a post-apocalyptic Times Square on Will Smith's "I Am Legend", so the "World's Finest" teaming together on their own flick isn't exactly a new idea. In fact, before the Superman reboot that is MoS happened, this was the plan. It would be a wise move by WB and DC Entertainment too, since it introduces A NEW Batman outside of Christopher Nolan's epic Dark Knight Trilogy of films, and sets the stage for the inevitable rise of a JL film. There's also the rumor of a Flash film for 2016, then JL on 2017 (via Bleeding Cool). Still, let's wait for official confirmation from the SDCC.
