Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
We know that Her Universe is expecting to announce several new liscensees, and if this Captain America shirt (prematurely?) available for order on ThinkGeek is any indication, Marvel is indeed one of them. Unless Ashley is suddenly modeling other lines… (Via @Shadadukal)
Note the shirt itself looks pretty familiar… (h/t @Jessin2D)
UPDATE: And here’s a Captain America tank at Hot Topic. (h/t @brownjawa)
This one contains a lot of footage we haven’t seen in the previous trailers. And yeah, I’m still a little excited, because no matter how many great Marvel movies we see and subpar Wolverine movies we get, the X-Men were still my first real superheroes.
While promoting Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Jackson shares a funny story about filming Star Wars with Jon Stewart.
Captain America to challenge Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Yes Marvel and DC movies will face off directly at the box office on May 6, 2016 with the third Captain America film and the Man of Steel sequel both opening the same weekend.

Stealth Justice League? 2015’s Man of Steel sequel, which is being called (unofficially) Batman vs. Superman, has cast Fast & Furious’ Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, it was announced today.
The film will be the second outing for Henry Cavill’s Superman and the first for Ben Affleck as Batman. Zack Snyder is directing.
Ahead of this afternoon’s Disney earning call, Marvel and Netflix have announced that they’re teaming up to produce for original 13-episode series’ featuring the characters Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, that cumulate in a Defenders mini-series.
Disney already has a distribution deal with Netflix that will make them “the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for first-run, live-action and animated movies,” including Lucasfilm. (That deal starts in 2016, which means the 2014 ‘digital library’ hint is still open to interpretation.) Could this Marvel deal foreshadow something similar with Star Wars eventually? It’s early yet, but keep it in mind for the future.
Damn, son.
Explosions! Black Widow! Nick Fury! The Falcon! Robert Redford!
