THAT BIG GAME THAT'S SUPER WHERE GUYS IN PADDING PLAY IN A BOWL:
What does the big football game have to do with comic books? Well, good reader, read on and you shall find out what it does have to do with comics because I'm going to tell you.
Commercials or I should say new trailers. This Summer is going to be a big season for movies. There's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Captain America Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Sin City A Dame to Kill For, Transformers Age of Extinction, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Out of these movies I know for sure that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Captain America Winter Soldier will be getting new ads played during the game. For the other movies, I would like to see one for Guardians and Sin City but I serisously doubt TMNT will get one considering how tight lipped they've been about this movie.
With the Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailers there is going to be 2 parts. Part 1 has already been released this past Thursday, which I got to tell you I'm getting ever more excited about this movie. It's also showing what might be happening to Gwen Stacy, even though I (and any fan of the Spider-Man comic will know her fate already) but this might be the one where it happens instead of movie 3 (the one I figure it would happen in). For Captain America there was also a new trailer released but unlike the Amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer, Cap's trailer was only 16 seconds. Not much was shown in this trailer but there are some cool scenes that hopefully will be better with more scenes.
SPEAKING OF MOVIES:
By now I'm sure you fans have heard or maybe you haven't (which might actually be a good thing because sometimes inglorious is bliss) but there is new casting for the Batman vs. Superman movie. In this case 2 roles are now filled, Lex Luthor and Alfred Pennyworth. One is a choice that I (and many others) can't understand why was made and the other might work out.
For Lex Luthor it's Jesse Eisenberg but as of yet unsaid if he will go bald. Ok, here's my dislike for this choice, his age. Luthor is supposed to be older than Superman and yes for Smallville they where near similar age range but that show was an exception because it was meant for teenagers and was not about Superman as it was about relationships and Clark having powers.

This will be a movie, a movie with the nemesis of Superman, a man not a young guy who don't look like he is the genius mastermind who plots the downfall of Superman while also controlling a city and running evil plans. Jesse Eisenberg just don't have that evil look to him so can he pull this off? Is this new Lex Luthor going to be this young looking guy that is just starting off as a evil genius mastermind?
Now for Alfred it's Jeremy Irons, a man who is a good actor and might be able to be a good butler. He has the look for being an older guy and Afred has been played by different older guys so I can't say much on this choice. Though I do like the newer version in the comics where he's not exactly that old but old enough to be a father figure to Bruce. Jeremy Irons I think can pull this role off and if they make him be tough, a guy who once was in her Majesties service, then this could be the best choice for a role in this movie yet.
LAST BIT OF MOVIE NEWS:
With all this talk about the movies I had to bring this bit of information up as well. Bryan Singer, you know that guy who is the X-Men director, has let some talk out about the next X-Men movie, Apocalypse. According to what he said in Empire magazine (which if you are a fan of the X-Men movies and don't know yet they released 25 different covers for Days of Future Past that are exteremly cool) that Apocalypse will not be a sequel to Days of Future Past but more of a Sequel to First Class. It won't include the original X-Men cast as DoFP is doing but the cast from First Class. Apocalypse will be closely related to the comic origins of the character as this really old mutant and that I like. Bryan Singer is one of those directors that I'm liking more and more just for the simple fact that he seems to get us fanboys/fangirls and what we want in our comic based movies.
