Ryan Reynolds has tweeted the first official look at the Deadpool costume. And it's a glorious first glimpse. 

Hopefully this will erase from our memory banks his look from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Here's Ryan Reynolds' tweet debuting the seductive shot....

February 2016 can't come soon enough....

How Much Wolverine Do We Need? Apparently A Lot.

Earlier today,  The Wolverine director James Mangold responded to a tweet asking when Wolverine 3 will begin production. Based on the already announced release date for 2017, it's not a huge surprise when Mangold said they'll begin in early 2016.  

Already reported for the next Wolverine film, is that it will bring back Patrick Stewart as Professor X.  Nothing else has been revealed about the movie, including plot. Hugh Jackman is also slated to be in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse, as well as being rumored for cameos in the Deadpool and Gambit movies. 

So, who else is wondering when Fox will stop using Wolverine as a crutch? He's been the main character of 4 X-Men movies as well as 2 solo Wolverine movies. If Fox really wants to expand their X-Men cinematic universe to rival Marvel's Avengers, shouldn't they expand their focus beyond Hugh Jackman?

Sure, we are getting Deadpool and Gambit movies, but it took A LOT of fan support and outcry to get those. And maybe those films will be big enough hits to convince Fox to broaden their focus. But nothing is certain when it comes to Hollywood.  Perhaps with films starring Ryan Reynolds ( Deadpool ) and Channing Tatum ( Gambit ) Fox can be convinced to take more chances.

Fox holds the rights to a plethora of fascinating characters.  They just need to get some creative talent and some smart casting to make some cinematic magic. Let's not forget, before 2008 Iron Man was hardly a household name. And we all know how that has changed.

Nightcrawler Is In, Colossus Is Out

Last night it was announced that actor Kodi Smit-McPhee ( The Road, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes ) has been casted as a young Nightcrawler in next year's X-Men: Apocalypse.  Previously, Nightcrawler was portrayed by Alan Cumming in 2003's X2.

In other big screen mutant news, Daniel Cudmore won't be returning as Colossus for the Deadpool movie. It's still only a rumor the movie will include that character, but Cudmore confirmed via twitter he won't be involved. Cudmore had played Colossus in three X-Men movies since 2003.

No word on whether he'd be asked to return to the role, but the actor did say on twitter that he can't comment.

Nerd Block - November 2014

Pretty excited for this weekend’s Grand Rapids Comic Con. Lots of cool people to meet and see. I’ll be going for all three days. There will be plenty of posts about it following the event. For this week’s post I will be writing about this month’s Nerd Block.

I regret to say that this is my last Nerd Block for a while. They haven’t been super exciting for me besides the occasional POP figure and very minimal amount of Star Wars items. I only kept it around for another month because I knew there would be a Boba Fett themed item and Boba is my main man so I couldn’t give up yet.

This month’s block wasn’t too shabby, there wasn’t one thing I didn’t like.

1. Iron Man Coffee Mug (my wife has an infatuation with Iron Man so this mug is all hers)

2. Super Mario Bros. Boo Slap Watch

3. Deadpool - King of Chimichangas T-shirt

4. Boba Fett Fan Wrap for my car (wish it would have been more than just a sticker for my car)

And…

5. The Featured Item of the Month - Batman plush (Adaaaaam Weeeesssst!!!)

Like I said not too shabby, definitely a step up from previous months. If you are still interested in Nerd Block please sign up it is a great service, just didn’t fit for me. Next month should be great as well, every subscriber is guaranteed an autographed Willow print from either Warwick Davis or Val Kilmer! That’s pretty exciting, but I am going to resist. Now if it were an autographed pic of Wicket or semi-decent looking Batman then I’d be all in.

Stay tuned for our upcoming posts on the Grand Rapids Comic Con!

May the Force Be With You!

Nerd Block October 2014

This month’s Nerd Block has been by far the best one that I’ve had. Nerd Block is a monthly subscription box service similar to Loot Crate and Booty Bin. Nerd Block offers several options at different prices: Classic (your everyday nerd assortments), Arcade (video game themed), Horror (horror themed, duh), and Junior (Boys or Girls, the kids stuff). They range from $13.99-$19.99 per month plus shipping and handling, they come from Canada so it’s another $6-$10 for shipping.

Now to the unboxing.

This month was hand picked by none other than Kevin Smith! Yes, you heard that right Lunchbox, the Kevin Smith! So, you can assume that it will be awesome and have Kevin Smith treasures inside.

1. Legend of Zelda dangler from TOMY

2. Marvel vs. DC button set (Marvel is the best, duh)

3. Arkham Asylam Sticky Note book (Assorted colors and sizes)

4. Jay and Silent Bob stickers (different themes)

5. Agent Coulson’s Captain America Trading Cards Replica Set from EFX Collectibles

6. Previews Exclusive Deadpool POP figure from FUNKO

7.Jay and Silent Bob dressed as Batman and Robin T-Shirt

As you can see this month was truly amazing. Next month is going to be picked by cult film legend Bruce Campbell and 1 out of every block will feature a Bruce Campbell autograph. It will also feature an exclusive Boba Fett item which I am truly excited for if you can’t tell. Get your subscription today so you don’t miss out on these great items!

I should be getting my Arcade Block soon so look forward to that review in the coming weeks.

Until next time, May the Force Be With You!
