It Came From Outer Space

Read What Marvel’s Film Consultant Has to Say About Those Iron Man 3/Guardians of the Galaxy Rumors

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:56 pm, February 3rd, 2013

A few days back the Internet got all a’twitter over a quote from Robert Downey Jr. that possibly adds credence to an Iron Man 3 rumor that started floating (or, well, flying) around shortly before. Check out our original piece for a full run-down (yes, there are unmarked spoilers, so consider yourself warned) on the theory, which seems rather interesting if I do say so myself.

And apparently Brian Michael Bendis, a writer for the Guardians comics in addition to being a Marvel film consultant, thinks it’s interesting too, at least judging by his response to the rumors.

(I’m going to assume that everyone who clicks the jump already knows the potential spoilers, so nothing will be hidden. Makes sense, no?)

Good News? The Powers TV Show Is Starting Over

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:45 pm, April 9th, 2012

When last we heard about the FX television adaptation of Powers, the Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming crime-drama/superhero comic, it was shutting down and retooling. Turns out, most of the talent may not be going along for the ride. They’re starting completely from scratch. Is this good news or bad news?

FX’s Powers Pilot Is Reshooting, Rebooting Itself

by Jamie Frevele | 12:30 pm, November 18th, 2011

We haven’t heard anything from FX‘s Powers series in a while, and maybe that’s a sign of how well shooting has been going. While FX hasn’t completely ruled out picking it up for series, it is making the comic-based show undergo some major surgery before giving it another chance. However, according to Powers co-creator Brian Michael Bendis, this is not bad news at all. In fact, it shows signs that the network is actually interested in giving the show a chance.

AKA Jessica Jones TV Show Will Be Set In The Overall Marvel Universe

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:20 pm, November 17th, 2011

With Marvel lacking a bit when it comes to their female characters lately (they’ve just cancelled their last two female solo titles), it’s nice to see that not only are one of their heroines getting her own TV show but it won’t ignore the rest of the Marvel Universe and pretend to be about something else. AKA Jessica Jones is the show and writer Melissa Rosenberg (the Twilight films) spoke recently about which Marvel characters she hopes to utilize in the series.

Lucy Punch Cast in Television Version of Powers

by Susana Polo | 10:23 am, June 21st, 2011

We’ve been interested in the development of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming‘s Powers into an drama series for FX since it was announced back in February. So far, the only substantial news that’s come out about is the casting of Charles S. Dutton as head of the homicide department that the series main characters, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim work in. The two detectives navigate the extra tricky lives of cops in a world of super powered heroes. Walker is a former superhero who became a policeman after his powers were taken away, and though he maintains ties to that community, keeps his former status a secret from his coworkers.

Deena has recently gotten superpowers, but is also trying to keep her status a secret, because the first time she used them she accidentally killed her abusive boyfriend and covered up the evidence. What’s more, Deena has now been cast.
