Will The Events Of Daredevil: Born Again Impact Spider-Man 4? ( Photo Credit – YouTube; Instagram )

It looks like Marvel’s cooking up a crossover stew and the seasoning with Daredevil: Born Again. While fans were busy theorizing about Devil’s Reign and dreaming of gritty rooftop battles, Born Again might’ve sneakily planted the perfect setup for Spider-Man 4, and it’s not what anyone had on their bingo card.

With Wilson Fisk now flexing his political muscles as Mayor of NYC, things are about to get delightfully messy for our friendly neighborhood boy, Peter Parker. Forget space aliens and multiverse mayhem. This next Spider-Man flick swings back down to the street level, where the villains wear suits, and the chaos is disturbingly legal.

And let’s not ignore that this is the first film in Spidey’s new trilogy, dropping just two months after Avengers: Doomsday. So while everyone else...

Shang-Chi is no longer seen as a hero in Marvel Comics, with a morally ambiguous antihero reputation. Even while fighting alongside Marvel Comics' heroes in Gang War, Shang-Chi still isn't given the credit he's owed. Shang-Chi is facing the same level of disrespect in Marvel Comics as Iron Fist did in the MCU, despite his growing popularity among fans.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man #44! The MCU has adapted a great number of classic Marvel Comics heroes and villains, but it seems not all of them are created equally. Indeed, there’s one fairly recent addition to the MCU who has fallen on some pretty hard times in the comics lately in terms of their reputation. And now, after their latest team-up adventure, this MCU character has officially become Marvel’s most disrespected hero (right there alongside someone who’s previously held that title for some time).

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is a monthly newspaper run by Steve DeBellis, a well know St. Louis historian, and it’s the largest one-man newspaper in the world. The concept of The Globe is that there is an old historic headline, then all the articles in that issue are written as though it’s the year that the headline is from. It’s an unusual concept but the paper is now in its 27th successful year! Steve and I collaborated in 2011 on an all-Vincent Price issue of The Globe and I have been writing a regular monthly movie-related column since. Our working alliance is simple: Steve tells me a year and I pick a movie from that year and write about it. Last month Steve threw me the year 1963. Since I was hosting a Ray Harryhausen tribute event at the St. Louis International Film Festival and was eager to...

London - The Mutant Chronicles unleashes cannibalistic humanoids into a steam punk World War I world. The movie features Thomas Jane (Hung), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Devon Aoki (Sin City), Sean Pertwee (Doomsday) and John Malkovich (Being John Malkovich) as the only defense against these ungodly creatures in the CGI enhanced environment. Can Aoki cut them all down with her cool sword?

Director Simon Hunter took nearly two years to adapt the role playing game into a cinematic universe. You can get great sense of what he undertook for his first major motion picture on the Two-disc Collector’s Edition DVD and the Blu-ray recently released by Magnolia Home Entertainment. I had a chance to swap questions via email with Hunter. Here’s the Q&A action:

Joe Corey: Have you played the game?

Simon Hunter: Yes I have played the game and enjoyed it very much - the...
