Spoiler Free Things I learnt from the Avengers: Infinity War London Fan Event.

Directors the Russo Brothers have kept a small crowd of fans wanting MORE after assembling a selection of Avengers and showing 20 whole minutes of Avengers: Infinity War last night at the new and revamped Television Centre – and the reaction was electric. The cast gathered was just a handful of the enormous ensemble: Paul Bettany (The Vision), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Sebastian Stan (Winter Solider), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Letitia Wright (Shuri) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange). Along with the movie’s directors, Anthony and Joe Russo, the cast attempted to answer some questions that did not give…

The last few issues of a certain gents’ fitness magazine I’ve seen in my local Tesco Metro have had the words “GET BIG ARMS NOW” on the cover for the…

Black Panther (spoiler free) review: The King is in.

“So this is a sequel to Pink Panther, right?” said my soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend, trying to be funny. I sighed. For those of you after the further adventures of Inspector Clouseau, you may be a bit disappointed here. But for fans of great superhero action films – and easy routes into the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe – then Black Panther is your boy. I’ll admit upfront that I’ve not read many Black Panther comics, but as usual with Marvel movies, that’s not an issue. Like with Ant-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel have taken a lesser-known comic and created a hugely…

Ant-Man & Wasp – First Trailer and Poster!

A first look at the Ant-Man & The Wasp Trailer! This year is undoubtedly jam packed with Marvel. Black Panther is right around the corner, Avengers: Infinity War is out this spring and this year’s summer Marvel movie is Ant-Man & The Wasp. Have a look at the first trailer below: The poster has also been released and, yeah, there’s no smudge on your screen! That’s THEM. This first trailer doesn’t give a lot away, apart from some nice gags, and that Thomas the Tank Engine’s role has been replaced by Hello Kitty. Ant-Man & The Wasp will focus on…
