Despite strong performances from Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen, the film felt hollow and uneven . While it offered big action, it sacrificed the soul. X-Men: The Last Stand left audiences mourning not just Jean Grey, but the potential of what could have been an unforgettable fin

As you can see there are a lot of different dimensions and incarnations of Spider-Man. I didn't even touch on some of the more bizarre ones yet! I think Shattered Dimensions was a great idea and performed well enough to merit a sequel. Any number of these would make a great addition to the game, even as an alternate costume or an achievement nod for some of the more bizarre ones.

The topics and television properties showcased in the panel were wide-ranging - from live-action ( A.K.A. Jessica Jones , The Hulk ** , __ Cloak and Dagger ** , and __ Mockingbird ** ) to animated ( Ultimate Spider-Man ** , Hulk: Agents of S.M.A.S.H. ** and The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes ** season

Be sure to check back with us often in the next few weeks to see if they announce which actor has snagged the r

If you don't keep up with comics, let me keep this brief. The Human Torch is dead, The Fantastic Four are changing their name to "The FF" and Spider-Man is joining their ranks. He's also rocking this new suit that I personally think is pretty sweet.

Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound have had the good fortune of working with Jon [on the 'Iron Man' films]...I know firsthand that he is the type of filmmaker that crews here love to work with, because he always gives them the opportunity to break new gro

Spider-Ham was born a spider, and transformed into an anthropomorphic pig-person by the scientist May Porker. He adopted her last name, and found out that he still had his spider powers. So yeah; this one's a little silly. But he's a classic and the fans love him!

Superhero movies promise spectacle, but even the most powerful heroes can’t save every film from falling short. Over the years, some of the genre’s biggest titles have become infamous for wasted potential, poor storytelling, or baffling creative choices. From misguided Marvel spin-offs to chaotic DC team-ups, these are the superhero movies that crashed hardest after sky-high h

Iron Man 2 villain Mickey Rourke recently opened up a bit about what we can expect from his character, Whiplash. After some unofficial concept art of the Whiplash armor surfaced online recently, Iron Man 2 fans have been keeping web pages on constant refresh, hoping to get an official glimpse of Rourke-in-armor. Well, Mickey didn't exactly provide a snapshot of his costume, but he did recently talk to Empire about what it's like wearing the Whiplash s

Con - With movies like Iron Man 2 , Spider-man 4 , The Incredible Hulk 2 , Thor , The Avengers and Captain America on the horizon, what does this mean for their development? Iron Man 2 is already in full swing so I doubt we see any type of delay with that one, but with no other pre-production or principle photography under way on some other films, could we see some eventual delay

We already covered the DC Animated panel at NYCC '11 – which featured DC Universe animated features coming to DVD/Blu-ray – and yesterday, we covered the Marvel Television panel hosted by Vice President of Marvel Television, Jeph L

X-Men Origins: Wolverine should have been a gritty, emotional dive into Logan’s backstory . After Jackman's mighty superhero performance in the X-Men trilogy, expectations were high for Hugh Jackman’s solo movie. Instead, it turned into a chaotic mess that nearly derailed the charac

The first part of the panel dealt with the "Live Action-in-Development" television properties in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 abilities|https://spiderman2mix.com/ lineup (Jeph Loeb stressed the words "in-development," as these shows are still in the planning stages). First up was the live-action ABC television adaptation of Brian Michael-Bendis’ acclaimed comic book, Alias (no relation to the hit J.J. Abrams show of the same name) which will be called A.K.A. Jessica Jon

Technically none of these characters is Spider-Man; at least not anymore. But during the Identity Crisis mini-series, Spider-Man took up each of these four suits as he was accused of murder with a bounty on his head. Wearing his Spidey suit was out, so he tried each of these out. Each one got discarded and eventually made it into the hands of four teenagers who were inspired by him. The series didn't do very well, but I kind of liked it.
