Insomniac Games announced today that they're not only working on Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation 5, they're also working on Wolverine! Much like the now hit-release Spider-Man game series from Insomniac, the (also Marvel Comics-sourced) Wolverine will appear in his own stand-alone game. And Spider-Man 2 will have Venom - VOICED BY THE ORIGINAL CANDYMAN!
Heritage Auctions is in possession of Amazing Fantasy #15, a Marvel comic book published in 1962. This is the first Marvel comic book to feature the now-iconic superhero Spider-Man -- and, in the case of this auction, the comic book is in 'pristine' condition. The auction house is accepting bids for the comic book ahead of its live auction next week, and someone has already put down more than $2 million for the product.
One of the biggest announcements during Gamescom last week was the reveal of Marvel's Midnight Suns from Firaxis and 2K Games. This is the long-rumored Marvel XCOM game that was said to be in the works at Firaxis, but unfortunately, that announcement came with sparse details about the game itself. Today we're learning a little bit more about Marvel's Midnight Suns, thanks to a pair of new trailers.
This week the folks at 2K revealed a new came called Midnight Suns - made in the Marvel universe. This is all about Marvel's darkest side, so we're talking Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Blade, Hunter, Magik, Captain Marvel, and Nico Minoru. This is a mix of characters that'll likely just be the base at launch - there'll be more, too.
Popularizing the mid and end credits teaser trend, Marvel Studios has long developed hints of upcoming movies or shows to spark discussion among fans. Of course, not all theories developed around these teasers come to pass, but some tend to be right on the mark. The ending of Spider-Man: Far From Home pretty much sets the stage for the sequel, and much speculation has been generated on what role it plays in light of MCU's past and future shows. Now the first trailer for "No Way Home" seeming spoils the entire film, except that this is Marvel we're talking about.
A Spider-Man NWH trailer (that's No Way Home, mind you), leaked this week in just about as potato a quality as possible. We're going to take a peek at what's in this video and expect that it'll be shared by Marvel in far higher quality in the very, very near future. Generally this is the course of things when we see a video that this near final production anyway. NOTE: This is the point at which you turn back because there are SPOILERS.
The latest canonical story action in the Star Wars universe comes courtesy of the Star Wars comic book series from Marvel Comics. In the latest issue (Star Wars #16, 2021, Marvel), we see the very familiar face of a character we only recognize because we've seen a scene cut from the original Star Wars movie. Filmed for Star Wars (now called A New Hope), a scene showed Han Solo meet up with a very human version of Jabba the Hutt.
If you've been wondering how the upcoming Eternals film fits into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, you certainly aren't alone. Today, Marvel debuted a new trailer for the movie, and those connections to the MCU are becoming clearer. In fact, it seems that the events of Avengers: Endgame directly tie into this movie.
You'd be forgiven if you forgot that Spider-Man was originally one of the planned DLC heroes for Marvel's Avengers. After all, Spider-Man was revealed before the game came out, and there hasn't been much mention of the character since then. However, crystal Dynamics has now confirmed that Spider-Man is still on the way and even that he'll be here before we close the book on 2021.
Fans of Sony's take on Venom have been waiting quite some time for the next film in the franchise, dubbed Venom: Let There Be Carnage. Unfortunately, the film has been delayed several times thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, and even though it looked like it would finally release at the end of September, today we got word that the wait will be extended by a few weeks. Yes, Sony has decided to delay the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage yet another time, and once again, the pandemic is to blame for this decision.
A new trailer for Venom: Let There Be Carnage was released today without a promise of an R rating. The first Venom movie was rated PG-13, and though this movie's plot looks a LOT like it couldn't possibly exist with a rating less than R, we've been burned before. This trailer shows us Venom, a brief visit with Cletus Kasady, and the fateful moment that initiates the transfer of power to the new villain.
Marvel's most foul-mouthed superhero is back with another Maximum Reaction video, this one all about Free Guy -- the Ryan Reynolds movie that was originally scheduled to hit theaters last summer, but ended up delayed multiple times due to the pandemic. In the video, we get to watch Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool while he roasts...himself as Guy.
