Officially the role that Felicity Jones is playing in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is unknown, but many believe that she will be playing Felicia Hardy, aka the Black Cat. In a recent interview with Flicks in the City’s Jan Gilbert Jones was asked:

Are you looking forward to everyone seeing you as Black Cat?

Felicity’s bumbling answer, that is trying hard NOT to be an answer, is endearing in its simplicity. She wasn’t ready for that question, in that form, and you can see her stumble to get something out there while not confirming anything. I’m sure she’ll get better at it with practice. Although I have to say, this cat is out of the bag and won’t go back in.

Expect IMDB to update her role listing in a day or so.

Mark Millar‘s Kick-Ass was a violent and humorously dark look into the world of costumed heroes. The Sequel, Kick-Ass 2 looks to be every bit the thrill ride the first movie was and more. More action, more heroes, more villains, and 100% more dogs biting bad guys in the nuts.

I’m ready for Millar to get serious and get his graphic novel The Pro onto the big screen, that would be a hoot. If you haven’t read The Pro, I suggest you get out to your local comic book shop and pick it up. It’s not something you’ll want to give to your mother for Mother’s Day, but it’s a fantastically farcical look at what happens when a hooker gains superpowers.

Take a look at the trailer below and let us know what you think, will Jim Carey steal the show? Will Hit-Girl make the cheer-leading squad?

Inspired by Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), other masked heroes appear. One such, Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), forms a team and Kick-Ass joins them on patrol, while Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) “retires”, and tries to have a normal life. Meanwhile Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother Fucker—returns to play supervillain with his army, and exact revenge on Kick-Ass for his father’s death.

When Anthony Mackie was cast in the role of Captain America’s modern day partner, the Falcon, fans were excited to see this character brought to life on the big screen. Mackie recently talked about Captain America: The Winter Soldier and his role with EW.

It’s a cool story and brings in some amazing characters and the Falcon is one of the things that fans are already excited about.

It’s a movie that has kind of turned into a bigger-than-life opportunity for me. I’ve had these little milestones along the way and now to play a superhero and to work with people like Robert Redford, Sam Jackson, and Chris? It’s just turned into this amazing moment.

Mackie stressed that the Falcon didn’t wake up with or get bitten by some radioactive insect or other accidental method like so many other heroes:

He’s a really smart guy who went through major military training and becomes a tactical leader,  he’s not some guy that fell into this.

The Falcon’s personal code and character are another defining part of the role.

The most important thing I got from everybody at Marvel about the Falcon was the need to show that he’s a very righteous, man-forward kind of guy. He would do anything to protect the man next to him and to protect his country. That’s the integrity of the character and the integrity of the man and that that’s what I have focused on.

The biggest thing for me, the most exciting thing for me, is to come out on Halloween and see all the little black kids dressed up like the Falcon. There are so many parts of our society that are not catered to or represented fully and this will give a new generation of our society someone to look up to and identify with. That’s why I am so intensely focused on bringing the character to life in a special way.

I find myself liking what Mackie has to say about the character and Mackie’s own feelings about the Falcon and the Falcon’s importance in the Marvel Universe. As a huge Captain America fan, I’m really looking forward to this movie and the new characters.

Jack Black was a recent guest on the Jimmy Kimmel Live and Black brought his latest film project with comedy partner Kyle Gass. It’s a Teen Wolf sequel, Adult Wolf. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to Teen Wolf after High School, it’s not a pretty picture, in fact it’s kinda depressing.

Don’t worry it’s not all about bad stuff, although this film doesn’t have the standard 80′s movie training montage, it does have a “Getting Dressed Montage” that will rock your socks off.

There’s a CGI based remake of Space Pirate Captain Harlock, based on Leiji Matsumoto’s original 1977-79 manga. The trailer opens with a quote from James Cameron:

“This unprecedented event is already legendary.”

Umm . . . really James? It sounds like that quote got translated back and forth a few times. For all the glorious manga style CGI space fighting action we get to see, listening to that music in the background is DISTRACTING as hell. “Be the Light” by ONE OK ROCK is not the music this Harlock fan was looking for.

Space Pirate Captain Harlcok is scheduled to open in Japan on Sept. 7th. We might get a look because the London-based film sales company GFM Films is on record about working on an international dub. How long that will take is still in question though. Most of us will likely just pirate a sub-titled version in the meantime.

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

If you’ve seen Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel then you know that Superman leads his life holding back, only using enough strength to get the job done and not hurt those around him. Well, once General Zod and his cronies show up, Superman finally gets to let loose and really put some muscle into those punches he’s throwing. The question some fans have is this:

What would happen if Superman hit you without holding back anything?

My off the cuff answer to the question is that you become human pate, but never fear true believer, Youtuber Vsauce3 is on the case to scientifically break down all the math and physics, showing you what would happen, and how.

Vin Diesel is back on-screen once again as the last furious fast fightin’ Furyan in the latest International Trailer for the Riddick franchise in, RIDDICK. Director David Twohy has taken the series back to a more Pitch Black feel and I couldn’t be happier, the whole Space Opera Chronicles of Riddick thing just wasn’t doing it for this Riddick fan.

We get some better dialog and witty come-back banter from Riddick as well as a good look at Katie Sackhoff and Karl Urban‘s characters. I hope those two really bring it in the film, they’re two of my big and small screen favorites.

Take a look at the trailer below, then check out the SDCC poster and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

Riddick hits theater screens September 6th, 2013.

Lots of people were speculating that John C. Reilly would be playing Ronan in James Gunn‘s Guardians of the Galaxy. The word now is that Reilly will be playing a character named Rhomann Dey, leader of the Nova Corps.

Who the hell is that you ask? Well, basically, Dey is the Marvel equivalent of DC Comics’ Green Lantern’s Abin Sur who crash lands on Earth and gives super powers to Richard Rider who then becomes the hero Nova.

Rhomann Dey was the leader of the Nova Corps on the planet Xandar when the planet was destroyed by the space pirate Zorr. Seemingly everyone else was killed in the attack, including Dey’s family. Dey swore vengeance on Zorr and chased him across the galaxy, battling him along the way. He became mortally wounded and paralyzed after an encounter causing him to seek a replacement who could stop Zorr and make him pay for his crimes. His ship came into orbit of Earth, where Zorr was taking refuge, and he selected a human to inherit his power. That human was a young Richard Rider.

Rhomann Dey linked minds with Rider and explained to him the new powers he has received as well as the threat of Zorr on his planet. At first, Rider thought the encounter was a dream, but soon discovered his powers and accepted his role as Nova. While out testing them for the first time he ran into Zorr who was on a rampage in New York City. Nova decided to fulfill the one who gave him his powers dying wish and defeat Zorr. During the battle, Zorr was teleported away by Rhomann Dey himself. Dey killed Zorr before he himself died, ready to join his family and friends in the afterlife.

What do you think of this casting? I do think it is an interesting one. Reilly has done some incredible dramatic work (Magnolia, Gangs of New York) besides all the comedic stuff he is generally known for.

Every year it gets harder and harder to find that perfect Fathers Day gift. Mini Vader pictured above captures that frustrating feeling, surrounded by all kinds of wonderful things and you just can’t make up your mind. We’ve decided to help nudge you in the right direction.

What we’ve done is gather some items that can also be given to the father that isn’t a nerd, things that can stretch across that border while being useful and nerdy at the same time. Perhaps these could even help you bring your father to the Nerdy side. After all, the Nerd Side does have the coolest stuff.

T-Shirts can be a great gift. What’s your father’s favorite movie or character, doesn’t have to be nerdy. A cool T-Shirt with a subject matter your father is interested in will always be a hit. Maybe even something that ties into Father’s Day like this I am your father T-Shirt.

Dad’s always got some stuff in the garage that he’s running low on. That everyday kinda stuff that he uses around the house. A bucket full of Avengers Duck Tape or other garage type-use around the house products could come in handy for Dad.

If Dad’s not retired yet then he probably has a work security badge he’s got to wear everyday. Why not get him a nice lanyard with something he likes on it. Something to let him show his nerdy side or interests at work. This Super hero Lanyard ID Holder fits fits the bill. Check Etsy and you can find something for everyone.

This is one that I think is pretty cool. Get Dad a new Cell phone case or Ipad / tablet case. There are tons out there for every subject and interest. Just match one up with your Dad’s personality.

A set of drinking glasses for Dad’s bar or just to use around the house. This Game of Thrones drinking glass set is a great example of what kinds of sets are out there.

If your Dad is anything like mine, then he really just wants to spend time with his kids. What better way to spend an evening or afternoon than playing some Board Games? If your Dad is not a gamer type then start out with one of the Dice Games like Zombie Dice. I brought a set one night we went out to dinner and we had a ball playing until the meal arrived.

There’s always the DVD set. Maybe it’s your Dad’s favorite action star or maybe you can make the commitment to watch a series with him. Something you like and think your Dad would like as well.

If Dad is a sportsman, just get him something that goes with his hobby. Maybe Golf Head Covers of Superheroes or fishing equipment with a nerdy bent.

Maybe Dad isn’t into all the nerdy stuff you like, but you can bridge that gap by buying him tools that serve dual purpose. During the day it’s a useful tool Dad can use around the house, but throw in a Zombie Apocalypse and now he has the tools he needs to survive.

OK, buying your Dad underwear is not really the first thing that pops into your head when you start thinking of what to buy him, but think about what he will actually use or wear. Super Hero Underwear is a great way to let him have his nerdy side while not throwing it into everyone’s face every day. Besides, maybe Mom deserves a little hero every now and then.

The last item is sometimes the hardest to do in this rat race of a world we live in, spend some time with your Dad. Spend it talking about what he likes and introduce him to the things you like. You might be surprised what you learn about him and yourself.

What do you think? If you have an idea that you think should be on the list, put it in the comments section below.

What ever you end up getting your Dad, just make sure that besides the gift you give him your time, your affection, and your attention. He deserves it.
