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.

Warner Bros. Pictures released this first-look trailer of Mad Max Fury Road. The film, which has been in development since 2003, looks amazing. Tom Hardy stars as Max. The movie also features Charlize Theron as Furiosa. The film will be coming to theaters May 15, 2015.

Figures.com brings us news that NECA announced they have the license for Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm game. While they had nothing to show, aside from a placard with some art on it, they will be doing at least one wave of 6-7 inch figures. It is not clear who will be in this first wave, but the art does feature characters from the different Blizzard properties that appear in the game including:
Illidan Stormrage (Warcraft)
Stitches (HotS)
Nova (Starcraft)
Tyrael (Diablo III)
Arthas Menethil aka The Lich King (Warcraft)

Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard’s answer to League of Legends and DOTA2 featuring characters from their many properties including StarCraft, WarCraft and Diablo.

Each day at SDCC thus far, Marvel has had two new free posters to give out. Each poster features one of the Avengers fighting off Ultron drones. Each of these posters also fit together to form one large mural. That large mural is now complete with the release of the final two posters featuring The Hulk and Thor yesterday. This beautiful piece of art is brought to us by Charlie Wen.

In this art, not only do we see Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, The Hulk, Thor, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, but we also get a tiny glimpse of The Vision in the upper left hand corner of the image.

Avengers: Age of Ultron will be coming to theaters on May 1st, 2015.

Entertainment Weekly got an exclusive reveal of a new poster from Marvel showcasing the Ant-Man film currently in production.
The poster was made specifically for SDCC 2014 by Andy Park, a member of Marvel’s visual development department. Paul Rudd is featured as Scott Lang, the main character of the movie. Scott steals the Ant-Man suit and technology from its creator, Hank Pym, portrayed by Michael Douglas.

The film has seen some rough waters recently as Director and Co-Writer of the film, Edgar Wright, has left the project after eight years of involvement. Peyton Reed has been brought on to fulfil the direction gap, while Adam McKay, of Anchorman fame, will be helping with a script rewrite.

Hopefully, we will be hearing more about the film as the weekend progresses. Stay tuned for more!
