Captain America. Iron Man. Thor. Black Widow. Hawkeye. Hulk. Scarlet Witch! Quicksilver! Hulkbuster Iron Man! Ballerinas!? Ultron.

Did that last line of Ultron’s sound familiar? Let us not forget that Marvel is now owned by Disney.

The rumor mill has been buzzing for the past 24 hours with news that Robert Downey Jr. will be reprising his role as Tony Stark (Iron Man) in Captain America 3. Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, both had articles up that were widely linked to indicating that this was in the final round of negotiation or already a done deal.

CBR brings us news that IDW announced a forthcoming series based on Hasbro’s Jem and the Holograms. The 80’s franchise featured a pink haired and bedazzled rock star and her band occasionally featuring their rivalry with fellow rockers, the Misfits. No word on when the comic will be hitting shelves, nor who will be working on it.

A feature film of Jem and the Holograms is currently in development under director John M. Chu, as well.

Four months ago, after the success of the Captain America: Winter Soldier’s opening weekend, Marvel announced that Captain America 3 would be produced and released on May 6, 2016. This is the same date that DC’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film was slated. This was widely seen as shots fired across DC’s bow, whose film franchise plans depend widely upon the success of Batman v Superman. If DC has any hope of replicating Marvel’s film franchise success, it needs Batman v Superman to do well, as it will introduce, not only a new Batman (portrayed by Ben Affleck), but also Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot) in a lead up to what is widely speculated to be a Justice League movie.

Today, in a move that has suprised few, DC and Warner Bros. have announced a new release date, March 25th, 2016.

Additionally, Warner Bros. announced 9 more theatrical release dates for as yet unnamed films. See them and more speculation after the break!

Well, everyone’s favorite gun-toting raccoon and living tree are among Marvel’s newest (and most obscure) movie stars as of this weekend in Guardians of the Galaxy, and earlier this summer, everyone’s favorite mutants returned to the silver screen in X-men Days of Future Past, and what good would any movie be without the prerequisite tie-in games? Of course unlike recent movie tie in games, such as the Gameloft-Cashgrab mobile games based on Captain America 2 and Spider-Man 2, these games have no in-app purchases (it’s a rather biting commentary on mobile gaming when we’re praising games for NOT having any IAP, but I digress). The games themselves aren’t bad either.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the caped crusader, DC Entertainment has released an animated short from Bruce Timm. The short is a throw back to the 40’s era of Batman’s origin featuring Hugo Strange, one of the dark knight’s very first recurring villains. We will reportedly be seeing more anniversary related treats soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

A new clip from Guardians of the Galaxy has surfaced. While we have seen most of the scenes from this new clip before, we do get a chance to see a slightly extended portion of Starlord’s introduction, in addition to, finally getting a good view of his mask.

Join us after the jump for a look at the mask and how it compares to the comic!
