Welcome to Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with guests John Campea, Robert Meyer Burnett and very special guest Rob Liefeld. We bring you the latest news about the World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday February 2nd, 2016) we discuss the following: Deadpool Mania!
With a week left before the first superhero film of 2016 opens, we’ve got a cubic ton of Deadpool viral marketing and pre-movie mayhem to enjoy! From the Breast Cancer Exam commercial to Ryan Reynolds cracking us up on the Graham Norton show from across the pond, now we’ve got Deadpool giving away Chimichangas at the Superbowl, with a new special trailer to debut, and all of us will be seeing the film in IMAX this week! Let’s talk Deadpool!
How funny do we want “Thor:Ragnarok”!
So after the news of Director Taika Waititi of the comedy series “Flight of the Concords” and the comedic mockumentary “What we do in the Shadows” sank in, I understood that because the script was reportedly so heavy and dark, that they wanted someone with a lighter touch to direct the film, and add some moments of humor to the film. Here is a quote from Taika “whether or not the Hulk should be verbal/conscious, I think those conversations have more to do with what’s going to come in future movies, so I think those are larger group decisions”. He also stated he wants to be able to add his brand of humor when it needs it. How funny do we want the Hulk and Thor to be? Legends of Tomorrow Guests! Flash meets Supergirl! DC TV explosion!
Legends of tomorrow has time-jumping and features Constantine, Jonah Hex, Hourman, Red Tornado, and a much older Green Arrow from a future multiverse who is missing an arm (dark knight returns!), while the Flash has ripped into the Multiverse, and her comes a “Crisis from infinite earths” storyline to feature the crossover between Flash and Supergirl?! Let’s talk about this!
