It’s Comic-Con and therefore our chances of getting sneak peaks from forthcoming comicbook movies increase. Sure enough, the powerhouse that is EW’s Inside Movies have got their big budget mitts on a collection of Avengers posters. All these characters have been in recent movies already; Black Widow appears in the latest Ironman and Hawkeye, I […]
Captain America: Super Solider trailer
Captain America: Super Solider is a third person action game from Sega. You get to play Captain America in an adventure written by Christos Gage – who heads up Marvel’s Avengers: The Initiative. Gage’s story is designed so that setting overlaps with the movie but includes new twists designed to enhance gameplay. Marvel and Sega […]
Norton by Symantec via Captain America
I can’t decide whether this is what we call “branded content” in marketing land. Sure; it’s clearly Norton branded and it’s clearly content but this isn’t Norton’s content. Wht Norton have done is wrap themselves into a behind the scenes look at the Captain America movie. I imagine the thinking is as straight forward as […]
Superman is no longer American; renounces citizenship
In Action Comics No. 900 Superman will renounce his US citizenship. I know this will cause debate. Geek Native has already seen comments on some of the Wonder Woman costume debate that complain about the “removal” of America from superheroes. Geek Native reader Fringe330 wrote: “What is it with ppl trying to take America out […]
Captain America: The First Avenger trailer
We’ve had clips and sneaky stills smuggled from teasers for the Captain America: The First Avenger movie for a while now. We’ve not had a full trailer. Until now. Got to say; the computer wizard who “de-buffs” Chris Evans is very good at their job. I wonder how much of the movie will focus on […]
Sneak peak: Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull in Captain America
There was a sneak peek trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger during the Super Bowl. In it, we got to see a second or so of Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull. The keen eye of Buzzfeed caught and shared that image. Here it is. So what of the actual trailer itself? Surely someone […]
The Avengers: Will it be Avengers versus Avengers?
There’s always a good backstory to the creation of a superteam. There’s conflict – typically a misunderstanding – but then everything comes together nicely. When we’re talking about the creation of the Avengers we also have to consider the role of The Hulk. Will he be a hero from the outset or an anti-hero? It’s […]
In the Dark: Wil Wheaton movie by Ed Brubaker
Ed Brubaker has a host of comic book awards; loads of Esiner (best writer for Captain America, Daredevil, Criminal, etc), a few Harvey Awards (Best Writer), Prism and others. Brubaker has teamed up with Wil Wheaton to give In the Dark. It’s a movie. Um. It has Will Wheaton in it. The “Basement Gang, Inc” […]
The Avengersaurs
What if the Avengers were also dinosaurs? I’m not entirely sure that’s a “what if” question that gets asked a lot. Geek Native’s traffic logs suggest that quite a few people ask “What if superheroes transformed into women” but I suspect that’s catering to a different mind set entirely! The artist behind this set of […]
Superhero mashup cake
This is awesome. Awesome in the tasty sense. I’m going to have a go at naming all the heroes in the cake. There’s Batman (duh), Superman, Aquaman, Spider-man, The Hulk, Robin and Captain America. Do you agree? Did I get any wrong? P.S. Are you surprised to see Aquaman in there? (Via iFanboy.)
