Marvel hass struck another blow in the Marvel vs. DC battle with Ant-Man. Could Fox be thinking about amping up their own Marvel universe? Besides a couple of TV promotions, DC is sitting this period out I guess. And what's up with X-Men -Apocalypse?
Daredevil enters the
battle swinging – Marvel's Daredevil was released on
Netflix on Friday April 10 and I have to say – what a shame. What
a shame that this show is not on a prime network. I managed to catch
the first episode and it is excellent. Taking place in the same
Avengers Universe, Daredevil manages to remind us that it is
part of that same universe in a very subtle way. There is no name
dropping in this series. The main characters don't know the
Avengers. This small scope series centers on Matt Murdock, who is
taking justice in his own hands as Daredevil. He is a well trained
fighter who happens to be blind but has heightened senses.
This is an updated post from a few weeks ago with some more titles and dates confirmed. Included are the names of all the Marvel films into 2019. We have DC, Marvel and the Marvel products released by Fox and Sony.
Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
