Earlier this year, Marvel announced they were developing five new TV series, four shows and a miniseries, at Netflix, all which would take place in the ever growing Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first series would be based around the Marvel Comics character DareDevil, who audiences last saw on screen in the 2003 film starring Ben Affleck. Now, Marvel is looking to bring the character back, in their way, in a thirteen episode first season, and it looks like their hunt for their new Matt Murdock has ended.
Latino Review was the first to break the news that Boardwalk Empire and Stardust star Charlie Cox has landed the coveted role of Matt Murdock in the new TV series. Variety has since confirmed the scoop. It’s great to see the series has finally grabbed its lead, as the show is set to start shooting in New York City in July.
Update: Marvel has officially announced Cox has gotten the role. Here’s their full press release:
Marvel is proud to announce that acclaimed actor Charlie Cox has joined “Marvel’s Daredevil,” an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015. Best known for his acclaimed work in “Boardwalk Empire” and “Stardust,” Cox will play Matt Murdock, the lead role in this all-new Marvel Television series. Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
Marvel’s first original series on Netflix is Executive Produced by series Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (“Spartacus,” “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer,” “Angel”) and Drew Goddard (“Cabin in the Woods,” “Lost,” “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer,” in addition to writing the first two episodes of “Marvel’s Daredevil), along with Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Smallville,” “Heroes”).
“Marvel’s Daredevil” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios.
For more information on “Marvel’s Daredevil,” and the other exciting new Marvel Television series coming to Netflix, stay tuned to Marvel.com.
Cox is certainly an interesting choice for the role, but it’s a good fit. He’s an incredibly talented actor, and it’ll be interesting to see what he brings to the role. Matt Murdock is a very interesting character to tackle, not only with his dark side, but for any actor, getting the chance to play a blind character will certainly be a challenge. DareDevil was actually my gateway in the Marvel universe, so he holds a very special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to see Cox in the role.
While not much more about the series is known at this time, it’s good to see the series coming together. The show is set to debut sometime next year on Neflix. This series will then be followed by TV series for Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist leading to the massive crossover miniseries, The Defenders. I can only hope that these series give us a chance to see some of Marvel’s darker characters, such as The Punisher and Moonknight, a chance to shine in the MCU. This is certainly an exciting time to be a comic book fan, and especially a Marvel fan, as the universe continues to grow on screen.

Over the weekend, a bit of news shook the internet in a way most of us couldn’t comprehend. After eight years of working on Marvel Studio’s adaptation of Ant-Man, Edgar Wright exited the project. The unfortunate news was announced in a press release from Marvel:
Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on ANT-MAN due to differences in their vision of the film. The decision to move on is amicable and does not impact the release date on July 17, 2015. A new director will be announced shortly.”
While details around the situation are murky at best right now, rumors suggest that a delay in the production, and a possible clashing of heads may have forced Wright to leave the project. Unfortunately, we’ll probably never know the full story, but the news of Wright leaving the film is certainly devastating. While casual moviegoers may not know the director’s name, he’s gained a huge following over the last decade with his style and particular brand of filmmaking, with his work on his films in the Cornetto Trilogy of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End, and the adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World getting critical acclaim, but never quite finding commercial success.
But Wright’s love and admiration for the character and his world basically willed the film into existence, and his sudden departure from the project certainly is unsettling. Ant-Man is quite the gamble of a film as it is, and having a director behind the project who genuinely loves the material would really help sell it. His presence on the film will certainly be missed, and I for one am quite sad to see him go.
But now the search is on for a new director, and Marvel apparently has their eyes on a few already, so it’ll only be a matter of time before a replacement is announced. For now, Ant-Man is currently slated to be the first film in Marvel’s Phase III, following The Avengers: Age of Ultron, and is slated for a release date of July 15, 2015.
Well, this is certainly disappointing. Last week, we reported that Alfonso Cuaron was in negotiations with Warner Bros. Pictures to direct Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first film in a new trilogy set in the Harry Potter universe. Unfortunately though, sometimes things just aren’t meant to be, and according to Cuaron, he won’t be directing the much anticpated film.
Cuaron addressed the rumor with Spanish news agency named EFE, which Digital Spy reported. Cuaron had this to say:
[Directing Prisoner of Azkaban] was a very beautiful experience for me. I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, but today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don’t attract me. I’m coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit.
It’s definitely understandable why Cuaron may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by the way heavy effects work his last few films has had, and it’s hard to blame him from wanting to take a step back from it. Which makes the new rumor that he’s currently circling the prequel to the Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining, all the more interesting. The film, currently titled The Overlook Hotel, is currently being worked on at Warner Bros., and it’s just the kind of film that Cuaron may want to tackle. It wouldn’t necessarily be effects heavy, and could easily be looked at as a way for him to clean his palate, and doing something new.
For now though, the hunt is still on for a director for Fantastic Beasts, which is scheduled for release November 18, 2016. Except news soon, as the film will need to be ramping up its production sooner rather than later.

For the first time since Training Day, director Antoine Fuqua, and Denzel Washington, have reunited for a new take on the 1980’s TV series, The Equalizer. The new film stars Washington, taking over the role of Robert McCall, who was originally played by famed British actor Edward Woodward, as he takes on the Russian mob in an attempt to save the life of a teenage girl, played by Chloe Grace Moretz.
The trailer is tense, grim, and violent, showing the inner workings of the way McCall thinks and pieces things together. It’s a subtle but well crafted trailer, it certainly makes me excited to see how the film turns out. Washington looks like he’s already going to absolutely own the role, and I’m getting a bit of a Man on Fire vibe, which is great to me, because I think that’s one of Washington’s most underrated films, as well as performances.
The Equalizer also stars Bill Pullman, Melissa Leo, and Martin Csokas, and will released on September 26, 2014.
In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.
With all the heart and humor audiences expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Big Hero 6” is an action-packed comedy-adventure about robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who learns to harness his genius—thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and their like-minded friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tamago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred. When a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—and transforms the group into a band of high-tech heroes determined to solve the mystery. Inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name, and featuring comic-book style action, “Big Hero 6” is directed by Don Hall (“Winnie the Pooh”) and Chris Williams (“Bolt”), and produced by Roy Conli (“Tangled”).

Director Gareth Edwards, coming hot off his rebooted take on Godzilla, which was a critical and commercial success, has just booked his next gig, and it’s a big one. Edwards has just been handed the keys to the first Star Wars spin-off film, which is currently untitled, but is due out on December 16, 2016. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, which the Official Star Wars website quickly confirmed, with this to say:
In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney have begun development on multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. Gareth Edwards will direct the first stand-alone film, with a screenplay by Gary Whitta. The film is due out December 16, 2016.
Gareth Edwards blazed into the filmmaking forefront with his acclaimed work on Monsters, a film he wrote, directed and served on as cinematographer and visual effects artist. The skill and vision readily apparent in Monsters earned him the high-profile spot directing this year’s smash hit Godzilla.
“Ever since I saw Star Wars I knew exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life – join the Rebel Alliance! I could not be more excited & honored to go on this mission with Lucasfilm, said Edwards.
Gary Whittas screenwriting credits include 2010s The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington. He is also well known as a journalist and editor in the video game industry, as well as part of the BAFTA award-winning team on Telltale Games adaptation of The Walking Dead.
Whitta states, “From the moment I first saw the original movie as a wide-eyed kid, Star Wars has been the single most profound inspiration to my imagination and to my career as a writer. It is deeply special to me,so to be given the opportunity to contribute to its ongoing legacy, especially in collaboration with a film-maker as talented as Gareth,is literally a dream come true. I’m still pinching myself.”
It’s all very interesting, and I can’t wait to see what film it is that Edwards is set to direct. There’s a lot of rumors from a standalone films revolving around both Boba Fett and Han Solo, so maybe he’s landed one of those. It’s truly exciting times to be a Star Wars fan, and Edwards is immensely talented, so I’m glad to see he’s landed this gig. He went from being almost unknown to the keys to the biggest franchise of all time over one week, and he’s going to do excellent things with it.
Are you excited for Edwards getting a chance to play in the Star Wars universe? Let me know in the comments below!

“So many battles waged over the years… and yet, none like this. Are we destined to destroy each other, or can we change each other and unite? Is the future truly set?”
It’s been a long, bumpy journey for the Marvel comic book series, X-Men, on the big screen. The series, now reaching its seventh installment, has been lauded, reviled, and and generally mixed, depending on the film in the series. But the love for the characters, and the brand name recognition, has kept it moving along over the last fourteen years. Now, with original director Bryan Singer back at the helm, the X-Men series is showing signs of life that it hasn’t in a long, long time. X-Men: Days of Future Past is part sequel, part prequel, part reboot, and all parts awesome, taking the series in a very interesting and new direction, and finally making good on the promise of how good the series could be after X-Men 2: X-Men United.
After many years fighting a war that has left the mutants all but extinct, Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) comes up with a plan to send someone back in time, hoping to stop the events that would lead to the dystopian future they’re living in. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is the only person who can handle the pain that the time travel will cause, and voluntarily has himself sent back in time. Wolverine finds himself in 1973, in a time when the younger versions of Xavier (McAvoy) and Magneto (Fassbender) couldn’t be any different, or farther apart from each other. Tasked to bring them together, they must try and stop Mystique (Lawrence) from being the mutant who unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will lead to the destruction of not just mutant kind, but the world. As things begin to widely go out of control, the question of whether the future is predetermined becomes a very real concern, and the Wolverine must find a way to make things right, to save not just his future, but those he cares about in the past as well.
As Days of Future Past begins, it’s clear that we’re returning to the roots of the series, with a voiceover from Charles Xavier, giving the film a feel of familiarity, as we’re dropped into a world that looks like nothing we’ve ever seen in the series before. Bryan Singer wants fans of the series to remember what it was that grabbed us from the first film on, and bring it back. His direction has sorely been missed, and having him return really gives the film the push it needs to make fans really embrace and love the series again. He understands this world better than anyone, and the way the characters tick, which is very apparent here. After he helped pen and bring to life X-Men: First Class, Singer finds himself bridging the old series and new series, while also trying to fix some of the problems that have long plagued the series since X-Men: The Last Stand, which is no easy task. Thankfully, it’s something Singer feels very strongly about, and you can tell he feels the need to make the series finally live up to what it promised so many years ago.
Screenwriter Simon Kinberg is up for the task as well, as his script and story is what makes the movie live and breath. He was one of the responsible parties for X-Men: The Last Stand, and you can tell he’s learned from his mistakes this time. The film doesn’t feel overstuffed and overbearing, with too many characters and too many plots. This film is much leaner, quicker, and more emotional than anything the series has had before. The film gives ample breathing room for the characters of Wolverine, Magneto, Xavier, and Mystique, who are really the four focal points throughout. Each is given plenty to do, and their stories all feel fleshed out, other than half baked and under utilized. Jackman once again gives a fantastic performance as Wolverine, and continues to show us why he’s so beloved as the character. But this time, he gets a little bit more of an emotional core, as he spends time trying to help the younger version of Charles get his life back on track. Jackman and McAvoy play off each other fantastically, really making the relationship between Xavier and Wolverine feel more poignant and real than ever before. McAvoy has really come into his own as Charles, really getting a chance to sink his teeth into, making the role his own, but also giving us a chance to see the beginnings of what what he would become, with a little bit of Patrick Stewart beginning to emerge in him. Of course, he and Michael Fassbender continue to have great chemistry together as well, with their storyline of their strained friendship over Mystique, really being the film’s emotional center. Fassbender, much like McAvoy, really owns the role of Erik, and makes it his own. You can see the beginnings of Sir Ian McKellen’s version inside, but this is a much younger, angrier, and more aggressive Magneto than we’ve ever seen, and Fassbender delivers in spades.
But it’s really Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique who really surprises in this film. Her performance is so different than the one she gave in First Class. This version of Mystique is much more inline with what we’ve seen with Rebecca Romijn’s in the films. There’s a real otherworldly feel to the way Lawrence plays her, and it can all be attributed to Singer’s direction. He really takes his time to let us get to know the characters, and give them room to breathe, so we can really take in the performances of the actors. But it’s just not the younger cast who shines, but the Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen as well. Seeing them return to the roles of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsheer once again is a real treat, and it feels like a day hasn’t passed since they played these characters. They completely embody their characters and their personalities, as well as their very tumultuous relationship. You can feel the pain and friction in their friendship, but you can tell they want nothing more than to fix what they inadvertently created, and they’ll do anything to protect each other after everything they’ve been through. There’s no way these two won’t be remembered in these roles, and it’s great they got to return once more.
The film also flows really well, for the most part. The film never feels too long, and with it clocking in at just under two hours and fifteen minutes, it has a lot of story to cover. Unfortunately, because of the runtime being that way, a few of the mutants seem to get a bit shafted. While Hoult really is good as Beast, he’s just not given enough to do or a story to really bring the character full circle like the others are. Likewise, Colossus, Ice Man, and Kitty all seem to be there more for plot convenience than as full fledged characters. Thankfully though, all the aforementioned characters do get something to do, and get some fun screen time to at least show off their powers in action, which is a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately though, Anna Paquin’s Rogue is missing from the proceedings, and her presence is very much missed. Time constraints had her role trimmed out, and it’s hard not to be a little bit annoyed by the fact she’s no where to be seen in the future battles. It’s really a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still one that really feels off as a whole. Thankfully, the action and story more than make up for her being missing in action, and Singer has really brought his game for the action scenes in the film. They’re fast, furious, and intense, and lead to one of the best third acts in a film in quite a while. He’s really learned to shoot action well over the last few years, and his growth as a filmmaker really shows, and it’s great to see him more experienced now, bringing what he’s learned to the series that he started so long ago, and giving it a new lease at life.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is a film that really shows exactly what this series is capable of, and really what it should have been, over the last several years. Bryan Singer returning to the series seems to be just the shot of adrenaline that the series needed to fully get back on track, and he’s delivered a film that new fans and old fans will flock to. Featuring an excellent ensemble cast, some fantastic action, and a story that sets the film universe straight, this is a film that is going to leave audiences cheering. It’ll be very interesting seeing where the series goes from here, because Singer has left the series in a very strong place, and one that leaves you wondering exactly where we’ll be headed next. But wherever it is, lets just hope it’s as strong and fun as this film, because this is as fun as blockbuster cinema gets.

Disney/Pixar’s RADIATOR SPRINGS 500 1/2 Premieres on Disney Movies Anywhere
Race into summer with the Disney Movies Anywhere premiere of Radiator Springs 500 ½. The all-new Disney•Pixar short is available for free, and is an exciting first installment in the “Tales from Radiator Springs” series. Just download Disney Movies Anywhere app for iPhone or iPad to watch Radiator Springs 500 ½ now!
Featuring Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen and directed by Rob Gibbs (“Mater’s Tall Tales”), Radiator Springs 500 1/2 tells the story of a “leisurely drive” planned in honor of Radiator Springs’ town founder, Stanley, which turns precarious as Baja pros descend on the town and challenge Lightning McQueen to an off-road race. Meanwhile, the townsfolk, led by a Stanley-costumed Mater, enjoy the planned “leisurely drive” to retrace Stanley’s original frontier route. Thinking they’re on the same course, a wrong turn sends McQueen and the Baja pros on a treacherously wild bid for survival. The misunderstanding leaves the racing professionals in awe of the “legend” of Stanley: the Original Off-Road Racer
Warner Bros. Pictures is moving full steam ahead on their new Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and it seems as though they may have found their director. Alfonso Cuaron, coming off his Best Director win for Gravity at the Academy Awards, is apparently deep in talks with Warner Bros. to helm the first movie in the new spin-off series. Niki Finke, of former Deadline fame, broke the scope:
I hear Alfonso Cuaron ('Gravity', 'HP/Azkaban') deep in talks to direct JK Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff 'Fantastic Beasts'. Perfect pick.
Most Harry Potter fans will already recognize the director’s name, not for his work on films like Gravity and Children of Men, but for his first foray in the Harry Potter series, where he directed the critically lauded film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. That film would prove to be the one that set the series on a path for maturity and growth, while also becoming a bigger commercial and critical success.
While we wait for confirmation on Cuaron taking the director’s chair, we do know the film is written by Harry Potter series creator, J.K. Rowling, who has said this about the new trilogy, and it’s place in the Harry Potter series:
It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of ‘Fantastic Beasts,’ realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.
As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.
I particularly want to thank Kevin Tsujihara of Warner Bros. for his support in this project, which would not have happened without him. I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it.
The idea of a period piece, set before the events of The Sorcerer’s Stone has me very intrigued, and now even more so with Cuaron circling back into the series. His darker take on the series was a breath of fresh air, while keeping the magical and whimsical nature of what J.K. Rowling created firmly in tact. That points us in a general direction of where this new trilogy is headed, and I can’t contain my excitement for it enough.
‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is currently set for release on November 18, 2016.
Are you excited to return to the J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, and are you excited to see Cuaron returning to the franchise? Let me know in the comments below!
