It's gothic, mythic, and steeped in supernatural dread. The quote works because it’s pure del Toro – poetic and eerie without a trace of irony . Abe, the team’s scholarly empath, gives the supernatural real weight, elevating the story from pulp adventure to Lovecraftian hor

After Avengers recruit Jean Grey is bitten by Daredevil, Captain America carries her to Otto Octavius' research station, where Doctor Octopus reveals Jean may quickly transform into the most powerful zombie. Instead of helping Jean fight the disease, which is technically impossible, Doc Ock plans to incinerate her. Turns out, **Doc Ock has been working on a cremation chamber powered by Battleworld's alien technology, which he describes as "the power of the sun... in the palms of our hands.

Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau recently got an "Atta Boy!" from George Lucas. Lucas handpicked Favreau to interview him next weekend at the Four Seasons hotel in Chicago. Favreau will also present Lucas with the Gene Siskel Film Center Visionary Award for Innovation in Filmmaking (...for making one of the greatest sci-fi trilogies of all ti

Hugh Jackman gave his all, but the movie’s jumbled plot, overstuffed cast, and terrible CGI made it hard to take seriously. The decision to mute Deadpool’s mouth in X-Men Origins remains one of the most baffling choices in superhero history. What could’ve been a brutal exploration of trauma and identity became an incoherent collection of set pie

A dark version of Sam Raimi's **Spider-Man 2 ** takes place in a different universe. Often regarded as the definitive Marvel movie and one of the best superhero movies in history, Sam Raimi's Marvel’S Spider-Man 2 Suits|Https://Spiderman2Mix.Com/ 2 placed Doctor Octopus as a top-tier supervillain. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock wanted to push the boundaries of science, only to be turned into a monster by his own creati

Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Spider-Man 2 immortalized the villain's tragedy on the big screen. Molina's Doctor Octopus starts out as a hero and a mentor to Peter Parker, loses control and becomes a full-fledged villain, and ultimately achieves a final act of redemption by sacrificing himself to undo his own catastrophic experiment. Marvel Zombies: Red Band 's Doc Ock might need to do something similar to save the Avengers from Zombie Phoe

Superman, directed by Richard Donner, stars Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent, an alien from the planet Krypton living on Earth who adopts the persona of Superman to protect humanity. Released in 1978, the film features Gene Hackman as the villain Lex Luthor, who creates a plan that threatens millions of lives. Margot Kidder co-stars as Lois Lane, a journalist at the Daily Planet and Clark Kent's collea

Morbius was supposed to expand Sony’s Spider-Man Universe with a dark, vampire-infused antihero story . Instead, it became an internet meme and one of the most ridiculed superhero movies ever made. Jared Leto’s performance as Dr. Michael Morbius was strangely lifeless, the tone swung wildly between serious and silly, and the CGI-heavy action lacked any real ene

Peter and Gwen’s romance remained the only genuinely emotional thread but was stretched way too far . Large parts of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 dragged, straining the grim and gritty tone that the original boasted. Though visually striking, the narrative bloat made it feel like setup instead of pay

As shown in the previous issue and in previous iterations of Marvel Zombies , infected superhumans are extraordinarily durable, and even more intelligent than traditional zombies. Similarly to Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 , Marvel Zombies: Red Band 's Doctor Octopus creates his small star with noble intentions, though "the power of the sun" could quickly get out of control, as it's capable of incinerating anything it comes in contact w

Batman continues, "I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me." It’s dark, dramatic, and instantly iconic. The line sets up Batman not as a killer, but as a legend – a figure meant to inspire fear and

The last we heard Jon Favreau was possibly going to helm The Avengers movie . Only real update to report is that according to Kevin Feige, Captain America will be involved in the film from the very start - meaning we won't have to spend half the movie waiting for The Avengers to thaw him out of suspended animation. That's good news, in my opinion: I was worried The Avengers was going to go the "Cap appears at the end" route. That would've been a serious cop-

"Separately, Marvel Studios confirmed today that Sony Pictures Entertainment will release SPIDER-MAN 4 on May 6, 2011. Additionally, Marvel Studios has revised the release dates for THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA as part of its release strategy for an uninterrupted road to THE AVENGERS, now debuting May 4, 20

You should already know that Joe Johnston is directing . If you don't recognize the name, Johnston’s directing resume includes family adventure films such as Honey, I Shrunk The Kids and Jumanji ; inspirational films such as October Sky ; action/adventures like Hidalgo and even the upcoming creature-feature reboot, The Wolf Man . According to Feige, that kind of variety is what makes Johnston perfect to helm the kind of all-around adventure film Marvel wants for Captain Ameri
