ABC Cancels « Agent Carter » – Despite season two’s cliffhanger ending, ABC’s « Agent Carter » will not return for a third season.

« Agent Carter » will not return for a third season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has canceled the series.

Since star Hayley Atwell signed to ABC’s new procedural « Conviction, » her odds at filming both series was suspect, especially considering ABC’s hopes for the new series. Additionally,the second season closed with series-low ratings, which further put the show’s chances of renewal in jeopardy.

During the lead up to this decision, executive producer Tara Butters encouraged fans to Tweet their support for the show. Fans took to Twitter to show support for the cult favorite series, using the hashtag #RenewAgentCarter to urge ABC to renew the show.

« Agent Carter » season two concluded with a cliffhanger; one of the show’s recurring characters, Chief Jack Thompson, was shot in his hotel by a mysterious figure in black, who took several forged documents that accuse Peggy of heinous war crimes. The finale also saw the demise of Whitney Frost and the first step in Peggy and Sousa’s budding romantic relationship.

« Agent Carter » season two is now available for streaming on Amazon.

20160510 – SPOILERS: Learn Which Character(s) From Spider-Man’s Past Are « Dead No More » | Comic Book Resources

SPOILERS: Learn Which Character(s) From Spider-Man’s Past Are « Dead No More » – Dan Slott and Javier Garron give fans a Free Comic Book Day treat by kicking off « The Spider-Event of the Year. »

Free Comic Book Day debuted all the way back in May 2002, the day after the release of Sam Raimi’s first « Spider-Man » film. With the wall-crawler back in theaters, now swinging alongside Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Marvel uncorked an ambitious new storyline on the holiday designed to celebrate the medium.

The long-teased « Dead No More » kicks off as a flip-side to the publisher’s FCBD 2016 « Captain America » #1 offering, and marks the return of many familiar, lost, but not forgotten Spider-Man characters.

Marvel’s original teaser for « Dead No More » asked, If you got a chance to bring back someone who died, would you? Rhino has made his decision, and it means trouble for Spidey.

Written by Dan Slott and drawn by Javier Garron, the story finds Peter Parker meeting his mentor Max Modell for lunch, presumably to discuss their shared challenges as industrial innovators now that he’s gone and made himself a mini-mogul. However, he’s still that same old Peter, who looks every bit the immature flake when he has to excuse himself to pursue a lead: a woman long thought to be dead.

The pursuit brings the All-New, All Slightly Green-Glowy Armored Spider-Man across the paths of the aforementioned Rhino and the voluminous Kingpin. Although Spidey is able to make quick work of the two classic villains, the adventure only serves as prelude to a greater mystery, as both foes are fighting for the lives of people that have already died.

The previously released teaser image for « Dead No More » featured appearances by an assortment of deceased characters from throughout Spider-lore, and one of them makes a dramatic appearance here, indicating not only the power of this new villain set on ruining Spider-Man’s life, but his familiarity with his foe. Is this antagonist a new character, as it appears, or does an old friend have a new disguise, and bag of tricks?

But who was it that makes that dramatic return? Spoiler alert for those dying to know.

Hold on to your Emma Stones … but Gwen Stacy is back, and she’s under the thrall of the red-suited, Egyptian-inspired string-puller barking at Spider-Man’s heels. And from the looks of the series’ teaser image, she’s only the first to return, as it may only be a matter of time before everyone Peter has ever lost comes back to haunt him.

Billed as « The Spider-Event of the Year, » « Dead No More » continues this fall, from Slott and Jim Cheung.

20160502 – Karl Urban Says « Conversations Are Happening » About « Dredd » TV Series | Comic Book Resources

Karl Urban Says « Conversations Are Happening » About « Dredd » TV Series – The actor offered some hope to tenacious fans campaigning for a « Dredd » series on Amazon or Netflix.

Say what you will about Karl Urban, but the« Dredd » star refuses to give up hope.

Just as tenacious fans of the commercially unsuccessful 2012 comic adaptation have lobbied for a sequel, signing petitions anddriving up its Blu-ray and DVD sales, Urban has remained a cheerleader for more « Dredd, » in whatever form it might take.

Just last week the actor threw his support behind a call for a « Dredd » television series on Netflix or Amazon, and now it looks as if maybe — just maybe — some wheels are beginning to turn.

During his panel Saturday afternoon at Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, Urban reportedly said « conversations are happening » about that « Dredd » series at one of those two streaming services.

Of course, « Dredd » fans have been down this path before, with glimmers of hope for a sequel seemingly emerging, only to be quickly shattered. Producer Adi Shankar said last year that because of the film’s poor box-office performance — it grossed $41.5 million worldwide, falling short of its production budget — someone of Dwayne Johnson’s caliber would have to sign on for a sequel to secure financing.

« Maybe we get The Rock in and fucking save the franchise, » he said, « because The Rock fucking saves everybody’s franchise.”

But of course that’s for a movie, not a Netflix or Amazon series, where the budgets are significantly lower. We’ve seen what can be done on a streaming service with series like« Daredevil, » so a television return to Mega-City One might not be out of the realm of possibility.

New Marvel Teaser Heralds a Hero’s Long-Awaited Return – Spinning out of « Avengers: Standoff, » a hero will make a long-awaited return to Marvel Comics, and it appears they’ll be connected to the Nova Corps.

With the title « A Long Awaited Return… », the teaser features a golden cross on a black background; the cross echoes the (generally red) symbol on the Nova Corps’ helmet, much like the one Sam Alexander wears in « All-New, All-Different Avengers. »

The teaser also references « Avengers: Standoff, » which concludes in next Wednesday’s « Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega » #1, so it seems we’ll soon learn who will be making a big return.

Several Nova Corps members are currently unaccounted for, including fan-favorite Richard Rider. Additionally, the solicitation text for Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar’s « All-New, All-Different Avengers » #10 teases « The Search for Nova’s father, » which implies the Avengers will get word that Jesse Alexander is alive.

Of course, the teaser could have nothing to do with the Nova Corps; the image could just as well tease the return of Quasar, the original Captain Marvel, Darkhawk or someone else entirely.

« Avengers: Standoff » draws to a close in « Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega » #1, which goes on sale April 27.

20160421 – Jon Favreau: « Superhero Movies are Going to be Around for a Long Time » | Comic Book Resources

Jon Favreau: « Superhero Movies are Going to be Around for a Long Time » – « Iron Man » and « The Jungle Book » director Jon Favreau shares his thoughts on the risks of Marvel’s first film and the longevity of superhero films.

« Iron Man » and « The Jungle Book » director Jon Favreau was recently asked to share his thoughts on Marvel’s superhero franchise at The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Power Lawyers event in Beverly Hills. During the event he commented on the risky success of « Iron Man, » the creativity in « Guardians of the Galaxy, »and his opinions on the future of superhero films.

RELATED: Jon Favreau Praises Spider-Man, Tony Stark Portrayal in « Captain America: Civil War »

During the event, as reported by THR, Favreau was asked about Marvel’s first superhero film, « Iron Man. » According to Favreau, if « Iron Man » had not have been the box office success that it was, Marvel would have had to sell the cinematic rights to that character. « There was a lot of pressure because if that first film had failed, the IP was collateral. If we didn’t make money, they could have lost the rights to all their characters. »

Losing the rights to all of the MCU characters was certainly a huge risk for Marvel to take at the time. « Iron Man’s » $585 million global box office secured the future of the studio and the entire franchise of characters that Marvel is producing today.

Favreau was also asked about the future of superhero films — a question many directors have been asked lately — including Steven Spielberg, who said last year that « There will be a time when superhero films will go the way of the Western. » Favreau had a very different response, referencing « Guardians of the Galaxy’s » creativity and independent film-like style, « If you stamp that as a ‘superhero’ movie, then I think superhero movies are going to be around for a long time. »

At this point Favreau is definitely on the right track, considering studios like Marvel, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox have superhero movies lined up for the next decade. The genre is also experiencing a shift in tone, considering the vast differences between « Deadpool, » « Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, » and even « Captain America: Civil War, » which could ensure that the genre stays fresher longer than expected.

Favreau also has no plans of getting out of the superhero business anytime soon, especially since he recently signed onto to co-produce Marvel’s next big « Avengers » films « Avengers Infinity War. »

20160420 -« The Flash » Reveals Zoom’s Origin, Cisco Gets New Powers | Comic Book Resources

« The Flash » Reveals Zoom’s Origin, Cisco Gets New Powers – In « Versus Zoom, » « The Flash » flashed back to Hunter Zolomon’s origin, Cisco discovered a new ability and Barry was faced with a difficult decision.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for « Versus Zoom, » tonight’s episode of « The Flash. »

In « Versus Zoom, » Hunter Zolomon got what he wanted all along: Barry’s speed.

In « Versus Zoom, » Hunter Zolomon finally got what he wanted: Barry’s speed. However, before he even made it back to Earth-1, « The Flash » flashed back to Zolomon’s childhood and revealed the character’s Earth-2 origin.

As it turns out, Hunter Zolomon is one of Earth-2’s only serial killers. The episode revealed a traumatic event from his childhood, one that parallels Barry’s own origin: Zolomon watched his father murder his mother. However, Zolomon didn’t have a surrogate parent like Joe West who was ready and willing to take him in; instead, he grew up in foster care, after all remaining family members refused to take him in.

Zolomon grew up to be a serial killer, murdering 23 people before his capture. Instead of jail, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital, where he underwent shock therapy in order to cure his murderous urges. This is exactly what was happening when Earth-2’s particle accelerator went off, and it ultimately gave him his speed.

In addition to Zoom’s origin, the episode found Cisco tapping a new ability. Using Reverb’s glasses, he was able to manually open the breach between worlds with his powers, which is what allowed Zoom to return to Earth-1.

Thanks to his return to Earth-1, Zoom was able to kidnap Wally and demand Barry’s speed in exchange. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Barry chose to give up his speed in order to save Wally. Zoom took Barry’s speed, but something went wrong with the transfer, causing Zoom to lash out against Barry. Caitlin begged him to stop, desperately appealing to any part of him that might have felt something for her. Her plea worked, and Zoom took off, leaving Barry powerless but alive.

During the transfer, Zoom answered a few questions for the team, as well as the audience. As it turns out, the Jay that died was a time remnant of his past self, who he convinced to join him. Additionally, he explained why he masqueraded as Jay Garrick: because he enjoyed « playing » a hero, giving the people hope before ripping it away. However, when Barry asked who the man in the mask was, Zoom dodged the question by saying, « You wouldn’t believe me if I told you. »

Starring Grant Gustin, Carlos Valdes and Jesse L. Martin, « The Flash » airs Tuesdays at 8 pm EST on The CW.
