BABYLON 5 star Michael O'Hare dead

Babylon 5 star Michael O'Hare (Commander Sinclair, for the fans out there) has unfortunately passed away. On September 23rd he had experienced a heart attack and remained in a coma till September 28th, the day of his death.

Michael's brother addressed the fans of Commander Sinclair on Facebook:

I want all of Mikes friends and fans a like to know that our family very much appreciates and thank you for all the kind thoughts and words. He was not only my brother but a great friend who I will miss terribly. I can tell you he loved life his craft and being on B5 and all those associated with the show from creator, cast, crew and fans. This all happened so fast it is still a blur to us. This past Sunday he had heart attack. The hospital did every thing they could to save him. Unfortunately it took some 50 minutes to revive him. Though we knew this to be a very long time and feared the worse. We still hoped and prayed that just maybe he could some how pull through. But in the end it just was not to be. It is just so sad the way it turned out. He just never came out of a coma and when he was declared in vegetative state with no more than once percent of brain functions. We the family were just heart broken. We knew mike would never want to go on with this so we entered him in Hospice for a peaceful and painless passing. Mike will now be reunited with his younger brother and sister whom we lost a while back. So we the family is comforted to know he will be with them again. Again thank you. Mike I am sure is smiling down knowing that he was able to touch so many with his craft. God Bless." 



RIP
Michael O'Hare



Stan Lee has the heart of a certain 'Armored Avenger'

Over the past couple of weeks Stan 'The Man' has been reported as not actually attending any of the conventions or Expos which have been taking place. Many fans were worried if the Legend had fallen ill, but it turns out that he had only been out, due to getting a Pacemaker (Like the Armored Avenger: Iron Man).

The 89 year old (still young) says that he's fine and in good spirit.



This is a personal message from 'The Man':

Attention, Troops! 

This is a dispatch sent from your beloved Generalissimo, directly from the center of Hollywood’s combat zone! 

Now hear this! Your leader hath not deserted thee! In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I’ll be able to lead thee for another 90 years. 

But fear thee not, my valiant warriors. I am in constant touch with our commanders in the field and victory shall soon be ours. Now I must end this dispatch and join my troops, for an army without a leader is like a day without a cameo!

Check them out:





Will THOR: THE DARK WORLD include all of the Nine Realms?

First off, I would like to say that Marvel and Kevin Feige are full of surprises, so if you find that you see Elves, Giants, Demons and Dwarves in the Thor sequel, you would know why.
Now that we have that out of the way, according to resources we may see the Nine Realms in Thor: The Dark World!

Previous 'Scoops' had confirmed that the Dark Elves will play a big part in the sequel, with Christopher Eccleston and Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje playing the parts of Dark Elves: Malekith and Kurse, but now we have confirmation of the World Tree also known as 'Yggdrasil' being involved

Marvel Studios released a piece of artwork which may prove that the Realms may have a big part in the story:


Thor has many villains in these realms and for The God of Thunder to battle them all, would be battles worth at least four movies, so how will they have them in the movie?

What do you think?

Will they all be included in the movie, cameos maybe?

Sound off in the regular place below...




Marvel VS Capcom Origins available

This is for all those 90's kids out there! Do you remember those days of going down arcades, gathering your friends and constantly trying to beat your personal best on Marvel VS Capcom? Well those days haven't even come to pass here, because the new game will be the origins!

The game was released today on Xbox live and PSN:


'Marvel VS Capcom origins' involves a crossover from both the Marvel and the Capcom Universe. This game will involve challenges and co-op capabilities.

It will cost $14.99 (1200 Xbox points).


Patrick Stewart kind of confirms a return of Professor X

We know about X-Men: First Class' sequel: 'Days of Future Past', but the question on every X-Men fans lips is this 'Will the old cast be united once more?'
In a panel at the 2012 Montreal Comic convention, Sir Patrick Stewart (known for his role as Professor X) teased (well announced) that he may return as Xavier in Days of Future past, a movie mainly based around time travel.




James McAvoy is currently portraying as a younger version of Xavier (well, one with hair) in the X-Men cinematic universe, so it would make sense for them to both be in the movie if the movie is to involve time travel.

Here's a little bit from Newsarama on the topic:

When asked directly by a fan during his Q&A panel, the Englishman gave a knowing smile and spoke the words many have been waiting to hear: "I think there is every possibility." He proceeded to enthusiastically run down the list of his female co-stars: "Halle Berry! Famke Janssen! Rebecca Stamos! Anna Paquin!" The crowd roared back with delight, opting not to point out his mistake regarding Rebecca Romijn’s current last name. He continued, saying "yes, I’ll be reprising..." only to be cut off by his son Daniel, who proceeded to throw out the names of his father’s male co-stars, Hugh Jackman and Sir Ian McKellen.

Anne Hathaway to feature in Robopocalypse

According to  Hollywood Reporter, actress Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises, The Devil wears Prada) is rumored to play as the lead Female role in Steven Spielberg's next upcoming movie: 'Robopocalypse' (Written by Stephen King).

If Hathaway is to join the cast, Chris Hemsworth (Thor, The Avengers) may be included in the movie, as it was previously rumored for him to have the lead male role.
Tom Rothman (future ex-chairman for Fox) may be in the talk for producing the film.

Possible Synopsis
In the futuristic world of tomorrow, robots serve the Human race. The US Government have now finally developed advanced Artificial intelligence, but are constantly deleting them due to them showing violence towards Humans. Archos, the most advanced manages to escape and becomes a virus, then taking over every single machine on the planet. The Robots then take over, with the Humans fighting for survival.



THE AVENGERS new DVD/Blu-ray posters revealed

Iron Man bad guys to return in Iron Man 3

According to Latino Reviews, the terrorists who had been assigned to murder the Genius, Billionaire... (you know the rest) Tony Stark, are going to make an appearance in Iron Man's next appearance: Iron Man 3.
Latino Review released a photo of a crew members hat, showing the symbol of 'The Ten Rings'. Many believe that The Ten Rings have been hanging around in the background of the Iron Man movies. One of these indications was in Iron Man 2, where Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) is given false i.d to get into the US of A.



In the comics, The Ten Rings are in fact actual rings, but The Mandarin's rings! The Mandarin is set to appear in Iron Man 3 being played by Ben Kingsley. 

So could the Ten Rings be a big part of the story?

New HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY theatrical poster



Today is Hobbit day and to start things off, we have a brand new poster for Peter Jackson's upcoming movie: The Hobbit: An unexpected journey featuring Bilbo Baggins. Coming to cinemas December 14th.


S.H.I.E.L.D.E.D fan made short

This is the fan made film based on the Marvel Universe agency known as SHIELD.

I'll let you decide on if it should stay confidential or be revealed to the public...


Who or what is Miles Morales in the 616 Universe?

Brian Michael Bendis' 'Spider-men' came to an epic conclusion this week in issue 5, so for those who haven't read it just yet, prepare for:

SPOILER ALERT!!!

After the villain was defeated by Peter Parker (616 Spider-man) and Miles Morales (Ultimate Spider-man), Peter got back to his home universe, got a nice hot shower, ate some candy and typed in what all comic book fans have wondered... Is there an alternate version of Miles Morales?

After looking Morales up, Pete's face says it all, with the aid of him saying 'Oh my God'. Obviously it was something very surprising.

What I want to know is what did Peter see? Was it something related to his own history or back story?
Could he have been a relative of the 616 version of 'The Prowler', a criminal turned Hero?

My money is on him replacing Spider-man if he dies for the lead-up to Marvel Now! in issue 700, but doesn't that sound to obvious?

Do you think that Miles could play a big part in the supposed 'death of 616 Spider-man'?
