"Iron Man" will relaunch in September, with Christopher Cantwell writing and Alex Ross contributing a new "Red & Gold" armor

Following the end of Dan Slott's run on the character and the "Iron Man 2020" saga, Tony Stark is reclaiming his identity and going "Back To Basics", as Marvel has announced that a new "Iron Man" series will launch and debut this September - written by "Halt & Catch Fire" creator Christopher Cantwell and art duties by CAFU. Superstar comic book artist Alex Ross will also be handling comic cover duties, as well as designing the new armor Tony suits up in - which looks like his iconic "Red and Gold" classic armor only with modern refurbishings.

IRON MAN is BACK | September 2020 | Marvel Comics
In a statement ran by Marvel and reported by GamesRadar/ Newsarama and Superherohype, Cantwell had nothing but excitement to share:

“I’m over the moon about getting a shot at writing the Golden Avenger, Since Bob Layton’s art in the 1980s captured my imagination as a kid, I’ve been fascinated by Iron Man, and in this new story run, I’m aiming to explore the question: who should Iron Man be today? An angel? A god? Or just a humble man? Tony’s going to try and strip the idea of Iron Man all the way down to its metal core, something that will constantly be at odds with his giant ego. We’ll see if he can truly keep his arrogant self-image in check, even as others with god complexes set their sights on the entire universe.”


 Iron Man launches into comic book shops with a brand new #1 this September 2020.

Avengers: Endgame: The Russo Brothers reveal "original title"; SiriusXM spoiler-filled interview details movie events

Almost two weeks have passed since the EPIC and EMOTIONAL finale of Marvel Studios' "Infinity Saga" hit with "Avengers: Endgame" - the 22nd film in the long running Marvel Cinematic Universe that picks up where 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War" left off and sees the surviving heroes make a stand to do "Whatever It Takes" to undo the decimation Thanos caused with the power of the Infinity Stones.


According to a report by Superherohype, during an interview with the HappySadConfused podcast, The Russo Brothers revealed that the "original title" going for Endgame turned out to be "Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet" - which is the title of the 1991 Marvel Comics miniseries "The Infinity Gauntlet" - the story that inspired most of Infinity War and Endgame. Obviously it was one of those things to throw off suspicion that one of Doctor Strange's last words "We're in the Endgame now" was a hint at the title.

Then there is this AWESOME Spoiler-Filled Endgame interview with the director brothers by SiriusXM - which you have to watch.

The Russo Brothers' Spoiler-Filled 'Endgame' Interview Avengers: Endgame is now playing in cinemas worldwide.

First trailer for Doom: Annihilation released

It's been nearly 15 years since Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Karl Urban took on bepic first person shooter game "Doom" when it got a film adaptation to its name, however it was hardly anything related to the source material - barely finding its footing and including demons and a "first person montage" scenario akin to the games themselves. Now it appears Universal is taking a stab again at the franchise - by releasing an unrelated direct-to-video film called "Doom: Annihilation" later this year.

After enjoying HUGE SUCCESS in theaters and becoming the highest grossing DC film with $1.1 Billion in the box office surpassing 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises", Warner Bros. and DC Films are prepared to release "Aquaman" in digital and home video - truly bringing the King of Seven Seas home and along with it much anticipated special features and extras that will add more depth to rewatching this DCEU experience again!

The Russo Brothers are set to appear in "The Game Awards"; Avengers 4 Trailer to be shown then?

It looks like hype and anticipation for the next Avengers movie will skyrocket again next week if The Russo Brothers have anything to reveal about it, as Joe and Anthony Russo have been confirmed as livestream guests for this year's "The Game Awards" - as confirmed by host and mastermind Geoff Keighley on his official Twitter page!

Having The Russos appear in "The Game Awards" - one of the last major events and one highlighting the best and latest video games out there - only furthers the chances that the very first "Avengers 4" trailer will appear there. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige did reassure fans that the first trailer "would come out before the end of 2018", so this is one of those spots before the year ends.

The Walking Dead: Jon Bernthal to return as Shane Walsh in Season 9

Looks like The Walking Dead fans have something big to look forward to if a report from a Entertainment Weekly is to be believed, as series veteran and the long deceased Shane Walsh actor Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his iconic role sometime in Season 9 - reuniting with his best friend Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) and the other remaining survivors who knew him that are still around in the show.

While Shane died in Season 2, that didn’t stop Bernthal from reprising the role as a hallucination that Rick sees (and shoots) during Season 3. With Andrew Lincoln looking to exit the show after Season 9, this will be the perfect reunion and swan song between the two pals who started as the first characters to be seen together when the hit AMC zombie show started back in 2010. For more information, read the source post at Superherohype.
