Halle Berry Gets Some Shine In ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Trailer

Posted Image

Since the film’s announcement, fans of the X-Men franchise have been wanting to know if Halle Berry would return as Storm. Well, the wait is finally over. A brand new trailer dropped today and Halle Berry is definitely getting in on the action.

Berry was seen as the mutant character in the first few X-Men films. However, rumors began swirling that Berry’s character had been cut from the upcoming “X-Men: Days of Future Past” because she had nothing to do with the plot of the upcoming film. However, with the new trailer having Storm appear on three separate occasions, Storm fans have no reason to fear.

”X-Men: Days Of Future Past” is slated to hit theaters on May 23rd. Be sure to pre-order your tickets for opening day.

More Black Panther good stuff.

Here is the Black Panther during WWII battling the Nazi super-being, Master Man. The Panther of that era (T'Challa's grand father) teamed up with a young Captain America. After that story, the Panther gave Cap the special metal needed to forge his indestructible shield.

Here is T'Challa unmasking for the first time after meeting the Fantastic Four.

"CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER" BRINGS IN RECORD-BREAKING $96 MILLION
Posted: 3 hours ago | Updated: 3 hours ago

The summer movie season seems to have started a month early, as Marvel's super soldier had a record-setting weekend at the North American box office.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" brought in $96.2 million domestically, which was more than enough to beat the previous record-holder for the top April opening of all time, "Fast Five," which brought in $86.2 million in 2011.

It's also well above the domestic box office take of "Captain America: The First Avenger," which brought in $65 million three years ago in its opening weekend.

The latest film from Marvel and Disney is also doing well overseas -- the sequel has already taken in $207.1 million at the international box office, outpacing the $193.9 million that the first film brought in internationally during its entire run.

Overall "The First Avenger" brought in $370.6 million globally, while "The Winter Soldier" currently sits at $303.3 million globally -- so expect to see it bypass the original's total haul by next weekend.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" stars Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Robert Redford, Samuel L. Jackson, Toby Jones, Hayley Atwell, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo, Georges St. Pierre and Maximiliano Hernandez. The character will appear in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" next summer.

Also at the box office this weekend, THR reports that Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" fell more than 60 percent domestically in its second weekend, coming in at No. 2 with $17 million and a domestic total of $72.3 million. The movie, starring Russell Crowe, has earned $178.5 million globally since it opened. "Divergent," based on the young adult book series by Veronica Roth, brought in $13 million domestically to land at No. 3; it's made $136.4 million globally since opening.

“Captain America: Winter Soldier”: 5 Things To Know About Falcon

Posted Image

Run, don’t walk to see “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”! While the first “Captain America” film released in 2011 left a lot to be desired, directors Joe and Anthony Russo flood this follow-up sequel with thrills and chills, giving Captain America a solid foothold in the Marvel movie franchise. Chris Evans brings wit and warmth as the First Avenger, and Sebastian Stan gives a star-making performance as the mysterious Winter Soldier.

The Captain America sequel also introduces us to Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie), a military vet who teams up with Cap to unravel a secret conspiracy to take down Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and S.H.IE.L.D.

How much do we know about this new winged avenger? We’ve tracked down five very interesting facts to shore up your fanboy cred:

1. Before Luke Cage and John Stewart (Green Lantern), there was The Falcon
Introduced in the “Captain America” comics in September 1969, The Falcon has the distinction of being the first African-American superhero featured in the mainstream comic world. Co-creator Gene Colan shared his inspiration for creating the character:

“I enjoyed drawing people of every kind. I drew as many different types of people as I could into the scenes I illustrated, and I loved drawing black people. I always found their features interesting and so much of their strength, spirit and wisdom written on their faces. I approached Stan, as I remember, with the idea of introducing an African-American hero and he took to it right away. … I looked at several African-American magazines, and used them as the basis of inspiration for bringing The Falcon to life”

2. Falcon is not about that BBF (Best Black Friend) Life
While any superhero worth his salt would be proud to be part of one of the most powerful organizations, Falcon quit the Avengers when he realized he was recruited by government liaison Henry Peter Gyrich as a “token” to fill a mandated racial quota.

3. Falcon has been Captain America!
A Black Captain America? Yes indeed! Falcon has the honor of being the only black person to wear the Captain America costume. In the “Sentinels of Liberty” storyline (1999), The Falcon stepped in when Steve Rogers is believed to be dead. When Rogers urges Falcon to carry on in the role, Falcon refuses, uncomfortable with the Captain America mantle.

4. Falcon’s wings were designed by The Black Panther
When Falcon’s original flying harness is destroyed in a battle against the villanous Anti-Cap (“Captain America and The Falcon” 2004), Black Panther steps and outfits Falcon with a new costume and wings. The new upgrades included:

◾“Hard light” wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 feet (15 m). Controlled by a cybernetic link, the wings can be instantly reconfigured into “dozens of different cruise configurations.”
◾GPS Jamming Devices that prevent satellite tracking, while the hard-light wings interfere with infra-red tracking.
◾Vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself, making Falcon resistant to small arms fire. The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon’s mask.

5. Falcon had a very shady past
Before he became the Falcon, Sam Wilson was on a very dark and dangerous path. When both his parents are killed within years of each other, Wilson, a preacher’s kid from Harlem, turns to a life of crime. Adopting the name “Snap Wilson” he moves to Los Angeles, becoming a professional criminal and pimp. On his way to “a big score in De Janeiro” Wilson’s plan crashes on Exile Island, where he would meet Captain America.

The "Snap" Wilson era has been a hot topic on several message boards with the Falcon's increased visibility in comics, movies & cartoons.

For the most part, Marvel just seems to ignore it, as well they should.

It was a bad idea to insert in the character's history during the 1970's.

My nephew took his 6-year old son to see it, and ended up enjoying it more than the kid.
