No Más: AVENGERS: ENDGAME Trailer

I can’t take it anymore. I’m tired, exhausted and unable to continue with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The fans will be there of course but I’m bailing on Avengers: Endgame. No more. Billions of dollars will be banked and then [...]

Maybe it’s just me – but I think it’s crazy that Edgar Wright has left Marvel’s Ant-Man over ‘creative differences’ so late in the game. Wright has been attached to the film as director and co-writer for the best part of a decade – and [...]

Finally A Reason To See ANT-MAN: Michael Douglas Joins The Cast
