SDCC 2017: Wynonna Earp Renewed For Third Season

SDCC 2017: Wynonna Earp Renewed For Third Season

, , , 0

Yesterday during SDCC SyFy made the announcement that their whacked-out western horror comedy series Wynonna Earp would stick around another year. The crowd went wild, as this tweet video proves. Last time we brought up Wynonna Earp on this site, I told you the show was “fun but flawed” and that the Bobo storyline didn’t have high enough stakes. Both those statements related to Season One. Season Two, currently airing, has been an improvement. Bobo is gone and so are the other Biker Demons, handwaved offscreen. Instead of chasing mildly weird-looking humans, Wynonna is now facing actual monsters — monsters that can hit her where it hurts. A dark spirit possessed her sister for several episodes, and then possessed HER, leading to the best episode of the series to date. Evil Wynonna, cackling like a witch and feeding Waverly pureed rat, was a delight to have around, if only for an hour. She recovered, but the experience left her…..pregnant. This was due to actress Melanie Scrofano’s actual pregnancy at the

SDCC 2017: Capaldi and Moffat Approve Of Jodie Whittaker Casting

, , , 0

This time last week, the entire world was buzzing about the casting of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor on Doctor Who. Some were praising the decision BBC made, while others were throwing lines like “political agenda” and other insults at the casting. Many former Doctors and companions have weighed in on this, and at San Diego Comic Con, Peter Capaldi (the current Doctor) and Stephen Moffat (the showrunner) weighed in as well. For Capaldi, he’s very happy for her, “Jodie is so full of excitement. It’s thrilling to know it’s in the hands of someone who cares for it so deeply. She’s a great choice.” Moffat weighed in on the “controversy” that was arising on the internet, and he gave a very interesting statistic: “There have been all these articles about backlash, there is no backlash. There is 80% approval on social media and yet so many people wanting to make something up that’s not there.” Capaldi and Moffat have one more episode in their tenure before moving on, and

Despite it being the third film in the series, Thor: Rangarok is still adding key characters from the Thor mythology. In this film, we’re getting the villainess Hela, the warrior Valkyrie, and Thor’s ally/enemy in Skurge The Executioner. Who in this film will be played by Karl Urban. In the comics, Skurge was a loyal Asgardian who fell under the sway of The Enchantress, another Thor villain. And he serves her out of love despite everything she does. As we saw in the latest Thor trailer, Skurge also takes the side of an evil woman, in this case Hela. But why? IGN talked with Karl Urban and he revealed what caused the betrayal: “When we find Skurge, he’s operating the Bifrost because Heimdall is missing in action, and then pretty soon after that Hela shows up,” Urban told IGN. “Skurge sees the writing on the wall and has to make a decision whether to die or join her, so his instincts of self-preservation take over.” What’s interesting here though is that Urban

The Black Panther footage at San Diego Comic Con was a major hit with fans, and as such, many are asking more and more questions about the film that will be coming next year. At SDCC, IGN caught up with Michael B. Jordan, who is set to play villain Erik Killmonger in the film. As for what his motivations are, it’s simple, yet elegant in its approach: “What I can say is that he definitely wants the throne,” Jordan told IGN. “He’s very strategic, thoughtful. He’s very patient. Very well skilled, trained to a T. He works very hard, and he feels what he’s doing is right.” A major plot point for the film is that T’Challa (Black Panther) is assuming the throne that his father held in Civil War before he died. Now, many are coming to claim it for their own. There’s a lot of moving parts here, and it’s going to be interesting to see what all is shown and revealed when the movie comes out February

One of the phrases that has been said for the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that “it’s all connected.” Meaning, that even if you don’t realize it, everything single movie in the universe ties to the other, and as such, as a deep impact on the others. For Thor: Ragnarok, the film is going to have a big impact on Thor in numerous ways. One of which is his placement in Infinity War. For in footage shown at San Diego Comic Con, he’s shown literally crashing into the Guardians of the Galaxy ship. So, how does that happen? Chris Hemsworth himself talked to IGN and said: “I think you’ll have to watch our film first to understand what Avengers is about,” he teased. Hemsworth was also quick to note how exciting it was to read the script of Infinity War and see what was unfolding. “We read the script for the first time and I think all of us had the same sort of excitement about who we’re going to meet,

Most of the Marvel universe is excited for what’s coming in Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and then the start of the two-part Infinity War. But then after that, the first film in the MCU to be released will be the next Spider-Man film. Homecoming did very well at the box office, and people love Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and can’t wait to see him come back. However, some are wondering why Spider-Man will be leading the next phase of Marvel films at the universe changing Infinity War sequel. At SDCC, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige talked to IGN and noted that after all of that? It’s time to get back to basics: “After this 22 movie saga after untitled Avengers in May ’19, it does seem like you want to get back to ground level, reassess, and who better to do that with than Peter Parker,” explained Feige of his reasoning. No word as of yet as to what will be the focus of Spider-Man Homecoming 2 (for lack of

Infinity War was in full display at San Diego Comic Con, and though a full trailer was not shown, those who attended the panel were able to see glimpses of what’s coming, including Thanos not wearing the armor he did in Guardians of the Galaxy or other cameo appearances. IGN talked with co-director Joe Russo who talked about the “journey” that Thanos is on: “He has a more casual approach in this film and it’s very philosophical for him. It’s part of his character definition. It’s a spiritual journey for him to collect the [Infinity] Stones and one with which he does not need armor. Once he starts acquiring the Stones he doesn’t require armor the same way he did when he was a warlord. It’s a very symbolic costume,” he said. In some of the footage it was noted how powerful Thanos was with and without the gauntlet. And even for Russo, some of what they did gave him pause: “It’s a staggering level of scale in the films.

The Hellboy films have been very much cult-classics, and were starred and helmed by fan-favorite director Guillermo Del Toro and actor Ron Perlman. But now, a reboot of the films is coming, and with it a new star in David Harbour. At San Diego Comic Con, the actor talked about the original comics, and why Hellboy is actually a perfect hero for where we are right now: “I really do think those Mike Mignola Hellboy comics are so beautiful and he’s such a hero for America that we live in today. I definitely think Hellboy is an antihero. He was kind of born into it. It wasn’t something like Batman where he chooses to go and fight crime. He was just born this weird half-demon spawned by Nazi occultists and saved by these dudes who tried to raise him right,” Harbour said. “For him, it’s a sense of discovery. His actual destiny as a ‘hero’ is to end the world. He is the beast of the apocalypse. So, in a way, his struggle to be
