Shazam 2,Zachary Levi Expects to Film in 2020

During an interview with AP News he talked about how Shazam made his career bigger and this was a bigger platform. He also said that he expects there to be a quick turnaround for the next movie and it to start filming around mid 2020.

This honestly would not surprise me as despite only bringing in 363 million worldwide it only had a production cost of 100 million making it pretty profitable all things considered. This all but guarantees a second one and they would want it pretty quick. Either way, it will be interesting to see. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Jason Momoa Wants to Play Wolverine

With the departure of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, the man nobody would argue is the ultimate Wolverine at the very least in the live action area. Who could possibly replace him? Well Aquaman has an interesting idea, and that idea is himself, Jason Momoa. As interesting of an idea as this is, i’m not exactly convinced. I do enjoy pretty much everything Momoa has been in that I have seen, this would be a very tall order for him to fill. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Robert Pattinson Batman Will be a Trilogy

As reported by Gamespot and Deadline will be a trilogy under the Batman name and will be directed by Matt Reeves, the man who directed Dawn of Planet of the Apes and War for Planet of the Apes. The first movie is so far slated for a June 2021 release with the others having nothing set yet. Matt Reeves has said the new movies will have more to do with The Bats detective skills, which could be an interesting change of pace. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Chris Hemsworth Explains Why he Turned Down Star Trek 4

Recently Chris Hemsworth finally explained why he turned down the now dead project of Star Trek 4. ScreenRant reports that is actually quite the boring reason. He simply didn’t like the script. While speaking to Variety he said he just wasn’t intrigued by the script and it wasn’t really strong enough for Georges come back. Admittedly I understand, nobody wants to make a return a lot of fans want and just have people hate it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Mortal Kombat Movie 2021 Release Announced

Warner Bros. recently announced the release date for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie, which is March 5th, 2021. The movie is set to start filming in Australia later this year and is set to be a reboot with director Simon McQuoid and writer Greg Russo involved. There isn’t much released about the story at this point, but it could be interesting. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Endgame Now 2nd Highest Grossing Movie of All Time

Now if you want all the exact numbers and nitty-gritty, Deadline has a great article. But the short version of it is after this weekend (and an even smaller gap by the time you read this) Avengers: Endgame passed Titanic and became the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time in both America and the world behind Avatar as it passed the 2 billion mark Sunday, and only about 600M separating Endgame and Avatar.

There is always the small chance Endgame doesn’t make it, but with plenty of time left in theaters, it is hard to imagine any scenario where Endgame doesn’t take the top spot, the real question for many is will it be the first movie to top 3 billion worldwide? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Vin Diesel Reveals John Cena for Fast & Furious 9

For fans of the Fast & Furious serious that are upset that The Rock won’t be in the ninth movie in the franchise, Vin Diesel took to Instagram to reveal a new wrestler, John Cena. Screenrant has the actual video for those that want to see it, but for me this really comes off as a way to try to grab the fan base they lose by losing The Rock from the movie, tho that is just my opinion. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Endgame Beats Force Awakens’ Opening night Record

Force Awakens opened with a huge night back in 2015, $57 million to be exact. Now in 2019 that record has been beaten by another Disney movie in Endgame which opened at a monstrous $60 million.  If there was ever any doubt about people being excited about it, it is probably safe to put that one to rest. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Easter weekend At the Box Office Worst in Over 10 Years

As reported by Screenrant this was the worst box office easter weekend in a long time, almost 15 years to be exact. The Curse of LA Llorona which reportedly cost just over $9 million to make and had $26.5 million in ticket sales opening weekend. Breakthrough and Penguins did quite a bit less, however, with those being the only notable releases I would not take this as a sign of things to come. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Suicide Squad 2 Eyes John Cena For Unknown Role

As reported by Screen Rant James Gun and Suicide Squad is eyeing John Cena to take on a role in the movie. Obviously without knowing the role not much is known or can be said about it, but Cena has been making the switch over to acting for years and has found some success in comedies in recent years. With him joining Suicide Squad and The Rock playing Black Adam maybe we will get to see a superhero clash of 2 WWE stars in the future? Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
