Once upon a time there was a film industry that wasn't dominated by the comic book behemoths of D.C. and Marvel. Where a comic book style movie felt fresh, innovative and where the Hong Kong production line hadn't been stripped bare in the service of mainland blockbusters with a patriotic core. “Black Mask” in many respects is a last hurrah of an industry about to go through immense change. As Eureka Entertainment bring it to blu-ray, it's time to revisit this Frankenstein's monster of a collaborative effort between several unique talents.

Eureka Entertainment announced today that they will be releasing Jet Li’s martial arts extravaganza Black Mask on Blu-ray on April 23rd.
Influenced by Bruce Lee’s role as Kato in The Green Hornet, Black Mask stars Jet Li as Tsui Chik, “a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life – or, at least, that’s what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed super-soldier project. In-kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system has been altered to render him impervious to pain. When several of his fellow test subjects resurface and embark on a crimewave under the leadership of their former commander Hung Kuk (Patrick Lung), Tsui is forced to use his extraordinary abilities once more. Donning a costume, he sets out to face his past – as the vigilante known as the Black Mask.

The writers and actors strike is getting a boost from the comics world and a new superhero named General Strike.
Indie publisher Black Mask Studios, run by Matteo Pizzolo, is putting together a comics anthology that will be written by WGA members with the company matching the writers’ fees with donations to the safety net organization Entertainment Community Fund.
The announcement comes as the writers strike hits its 100th day. No new contract talks are scheduled to begin any time soon.
Titled General Stike: Calexit and Other Tales of Fighting the Good Fight, the collection of new stories has the theme of confronting economic inequality and, like any good superhero story, featuring new characters fighting the good fight against injustice. A bubblegum-chewing, labor-organizing character named General Strike will act as the host of the comic, threading the stories together.
The book is in pre-launch mode on Kickstarter now, with an official launch set for Aug.

Exclusive: Black Mask’s graphic novel Destiny, NY, created by Pat Shand and Manuel Preitano, is being developed for the small screen by Sony Pictures Television.
Tegan and Sara Quin will executive produce alongside Black Mask’s Matteo Pizzolo and Brian Giberson; Shand will serve as consulting producer. The search for a writer is underway.
The series and the comics follow Logan, a “prophecy kid” who grew up attending the elite New York City boarding school Destiny, NY for children with magical prophecies. At 12 years old, she faced a cataclysmic crisis and rescued the entire planet… but hardly anyone knows what she did and since then she’s been directionless. There’s no prophecy for what Logan is supposed to do with the rest of her life, as she faces a midlife crisis despite being in her 20s. But when Logan falls for Lilith, the estranged daughter of a mystical crime family,...

Normani and Megan Thee Stallion are heating things up with “Diamonds,” Bird of Prey: The Album’s lead single, and an accompanying music video filled with clips from the film.
The song is the first time the two Houston-raised musicians have teamed up for a song. Sampling Marilyn Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and Tupac’s “Ratha Be Ya N—” the music video follows the two stars as they beat up some circus-themed bad guys fully immersing themselves in Harley Quinn’s world.

How are you holding up, Harley Quinn fans? Birds of Prey is now under a month away from smashing into cinemas and with its release right around the corner, Warner Bros. has dropped a new trailer for Margot Robbie’s second outing as the Clown Princess of Crime which teases more of what we can expect from this wacky, female-fronted ensemble action movie.
With the subtitle (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), naturally the former Dr. Quinzel is the star of the film, with Robbie stealing the spotlight in the bulk of the marketing. However, Harley won’t be on her own, as she’ll form an all-female team to make their mark on Gotham City.
Robbie is joined by Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Helena Bertinelli/Huntress, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya and Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Dinah Lance/Black Canary. You can even get a glimpse of Dinah...

So far the Birds of Prey movie is shaping up to look like Harley’s escape from the Joker for good and all only so she can waltz right into another problem in the Black Mask who’s being played by Ewan McGregor. The emancipation of Harley is definitely going to be played up huge in this movie as it’s in the title and it’s also something that people have been wondering about for years since looking back at the strange history between the Joker and Harley Quinn it’s hard not to wince a time or two when thinking about how many

Warner Bros.’ upcoming Birds of Prey is starting to make serious waves and it’s still over a month away away from reaching theaters. That’s mostly because the blockbuster will be the first major superhero movie to have prominent Lgbt representation amongst several of its main characters.
Of course, the biggest one will be Black Mask, the primary antagonist of the film. From what we understand, his sexuality won’t be explicitly stated, but it’s been said that there will be very clear sexual tension between him and fellow baddie Victor Zsasz, while the promotion for the pic so far has also strongly hinted that he’s quite the flamboyant character. But apparently, Warner Bros. has now made a bit of a change.

Marvel’s hard at work making sure that they have better representation across the board in the McU moving forward, that much we know. In terms of Lgbt characters, Avengers: Endgame began to pave the way with Joe Russo’s small role. And while it wasn’t much, it was at least a positive step in the right direction.
Of course, Phase 4 will be taking much greater strides in this regard, with Thor: Love and Thunder hoping to establish Valkyrie’s sexuality as she looks for a queen and one of the main characters in The Eternals set to be gay and shown with a husband and children. And the studio isn’t stopping there, either, as Phase 5 will also bring about some representation and possibly the strongest form of it yet, as Marvel’s reportedly going to have two McU heroes come out.

We visited the Birds of Prey set and talked to Margot Robbie about the more "contained" stakes of the Dcu movie.
From Avengers: Endgame to Crisis On Infinite Earths, so many of our comic book stories deal with unimaginably high stakes. Frankly, it doesn't seem possible to raise the stakes any higher than the aformentioned superhero stories have, and that isn't a bad thing—hopefully, it will encourage comic book movies to consider lower stakes. Logan, one of the best comic book adaptations of the last decade, proved how effective and universal a story you can tell with relatively small stakes.
Birds of Prey is a spin-off from Suicide Squad, a film that loaded up its anti-heroes' mission with humanity-ending stakes, but this girl gang movie is intentionally looking to do something much different.

We’ll cut to the chase. The extremely 1980s first trailer for “Wonder Woman 1984” just dropped, and you can watch it above right now.
In the clip, which by the way makes fantastic use of New Order’s “Blue Monday,” we see a bit of where Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) is nearly 70 years after defeating Ares during World War 1. Via an interview being conducted by Kristen Wiig’s Barbara Minerva, we learn she’s a publicly known superhero and a celebrity — pretty much confirming Warner Bros. is ignoring “Batman v Superman” and “Justice League” moving forward — but very lonely having never filled the void left behind by the death of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) all those years ago.
From there we get a glimpse of America at the height of the Reagan era; huge malls, flashy celebrity stuff, successful businessmen who are basically jumped up con artists,...

Get ready to feel slightly bad about the hours you’ve spent slaughtering video game characters. At Comic Con Experience Brazil, Ryan Reynolds debuted the first trailer for what he called “my favorite movie I ever made,” his upcoming new action comedy “Free Guy.” Watch it here right now.
In the film, Reynolds plays a normal guy who discovers he’s a Npc (on player character) in a violent open world game called “Free City” that will soon be discontinued. So think, “The Matrix” meets “Grand Theft Auto” and “Tron.” Reynolds is also here at Comic Con Experience Brazil to promote his Netflix action film “Six Underground” which was directed by Michael Bay.
The trailer kicks off with a joke at Disney’s expense, promising that the film comes “from the studio that brought you ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Aladdin,’ ‘The Lion King,’ twice.” From there, we see Reynold’s...

‘The Boys': Homelander Is Really Bloody (and Probably Still a Jerk) in First Season 2 Teaser (Video)
It looks like “f— supes” will very much still be in effect when “The Boys” returns next year, judging from the first Season 2 teaser anyway. Amazon unveiled the footage Friday for attendees at Comic Con Experience Brazil, and you can see it — and a very, very bloody Homelander — for yourself at the top of the page right now.
The clip begins with a silent shot of Homelander (Antony Starr) descending to the ground with a blank, freaked out look on his face — and also blood, a ton of blood. We see what appears to be the beginning of a face off with Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) and the rest of The Boys, before things transition to a sizzle reel of various scenes from the upcoming season. Yes there’s plenty of Superheroes acting like celebrity douchebags, and also a surprisingly huge amount of blood. Like, really, a lot.

In this age of superhero movie storytelling, the lone (male) protagonist continues to rule. While we’ve begun to see the occasional outlier from the “Chosen One” template that makes up a disproportionate amount of Hollywood's tentpole storytelling, it’s still quite rare to find a mainstream movie that goes with a truly ensemble story rather than something more individualistic in its cinematic philosophy.
In a culture so saturated with that mindset, it can be difficult to articulate what this norm looks like or to imagine other kinds of storytelling, but it's my job to try!

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and her new friends will be facing off against a classic Batman foe in Birds of Prey. Ewan McGregor will be bringing Roman Sionis Aka Black Mask to the big screen for the first time in the movie, with the Star Wars actor looking to put his own spin on the comic book character. We’ve got a flavor of the British star’s flamboyant performance from the trailers so far and now, McGregor has teased a few new details about the villain.
As part of Men’s Journal‘s cover story on him, the star called Black Mask the perfect antagonist for “the time of Trump.” It’s easy to see what he means as well by the following description he gave of his character:

But, according to what we’re hearing, that’s not the case anymore.

Grant Morrison has been unfairly overlooked when it comes to live-action adaptations.

Get ready to get snatched again! A remake of the 1956 science fiction horror classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers is currently in the early stages of development and while little is known about this new reimagining of the bone-chilling tale, we’re certainly excited about it.
The original is often considered to be one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made and was preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 1994 due to its significance. The flick has since been remade many times with rumors of yet another installation swirling for the past couple of years. Now, it seems that fans are finally going to be able to enjoy another adventure with the body snatchers on the big screen in the not-so-distant future.

Being someone who didn’t quite know what to think about the upcoming Birds of Prey movie, I was pleased to find the first full trailer that debuted earlier today rather impressive. If anything, we’ve been given the impression that Cathy Yan’s foray into the DC Universe will be highly entertaining and in keeping with Harley Quinn’s brand of irreverent humor.
Still, it’s hard for me to shake how none of the characters featured actually resemble their comic book counterparts, but I’ll probably get over it (for the most part) if the movie itself lives up to the hype. That said, I’m right there with those of you who are perplexed by how Black Mask doesn’t actually where, you know, a mask of any sort. Perhaps he’ll gain one before the movie is over. I don’t know. But fingers remain crossed.

The Chinese mountain-climbing adventure “The Climbers” works best when it’s an old-fashioned macho melodrama about the hardships faced by the first mountaineering team to document their summit of Mount Everest’s treacherous North-side in 1975.
In these scenes, writer-director Daniel Lee (“Black Mask”) and his colleagues deliver a less flamboyant but equally nationalistic mountain-climbing answer to “Top Gun,” one that’s mostly focused on the camaraderie and heartbreak that the (predominantly male) National Mountaineering Team faces whenever their stubborn but resourceful leaders Wuzhou Fang and Qu Songlin (Zhang Yi) press on in the face of avalanches, snow drifts, and other killer weather conditions.
Most action set pieces — which are the movie’s biggest selling point, given its IMAX presentation here in America — are marred by cheap-looking computer graphics and image-compositing, especially whenever the mountaineering team is super-imposed on the side of Everest during helicopter or crane shots. But impressive sound design,...

DC Comics released the official trailer for its forthcoming film Tuesday, showing Harley Quinn’s transformation from Joker’s sidekick to leader of the group of antiheroes.

“No one gives two s—s who we are beyond that,” she continues as she takes a shot.
“The Joker and I broke up,” she explains, “I wanted a fresh start. But it turns out I wasn’t the only dame in Gotham looking for emancipation.”

The first trailer “Birds of Prey,” the superhero and villain team-up film starring Margot Robbie reprising her role of Harley Quinn from “Suicide Squad,” has arrived.
With the full title “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn,” director Cathy Yan’s film is a colorful, playful and outrageous take on the superhero genre. And while Harley Quinn usually plays the bad girl, “Birds of Prey” now sees her split from the Joker and teaming up with a trio of other female superheroes as they fight to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.
“Do you know what a harlequin is? A harlequin’s role is to serve. It’s nothing without a master. No one gives two sh— who we are without that,” Robbie says in the trailer over a shot at a bar. That’s all about to change as she proves...

The latest installment in the DC Extended Universe, the Harley Quinn-led spinoff Birds of Prey, is now less than six months away from release, and the recent reveal of the first official poster is a clear signal that the marketing campaign for the comic book movie is slowly starting to ramp up.
Following her well-received debut as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie has really taken the fan-favorite character to heart, and has acted as one of the driving forces behind Birds of Prey by serving as both star and producer of the upcoming flick. While there’ve been plenty of behind-the-scenes rumors that the project is in the midst of extensive reshoots, with huge question marks surrounding director Cathy Yan’s ability to manage the jump from micro-budget independent movies to studio blockbusters, a new behind-the-scenes photo shows that things certainly look rosy on-set, which you can see below.

To say that Marvel fans were upset that Jaimie Alexander’s Lady Sif wasn’t in Ragnarok would be an understatement. After proving to be a standout character in both of the earlier, less critically appealing Thor movies, everyone was excited to see her return, but obligations to her hit show Blindspot prevented the actress from reprising the role. Perhaps that was for the best, though, as the God of Thunder’s third solo outing pressed a soft-reset button on the franchise, which resulted in the death or disappearance of several fan-favorite side characters.
In any case, we already know that Alexander is game to return and now, we’re hearing that she’ll soon be seen back on the big screen. According to sources close to We Got This Covered – the same ones who told us Black Mask will be gay in Birds of Prey and that Moon Knight was coming to the McU,...

J.J. Abrams recently signed a massive $500m exclusive deal with WarnerMedia to write, produce and direct content for the media company across multiple platforms including film, television, streaming and video games under the Bad Robot banner. There are clearly huge plans for Abrams once he finishes working on Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and given his experience and success in handling established franchises like Star Wars and Mission: Impossible, the DC Extended Universe could be next on his hit list.
The filmmaker has previous experience with DC-related movies, having written the script for Superman: Flyby, which came close to getting the official greenlight back in 2002 when he was still best-known for his small screen work on Felicity and Alias. However, it also looks like Abrams might not be tackling the Dceu alone, with James Gunn also rumored to help shape the direction of the franchise going forward.

The heroes in DC’s library aren’t all super-powered vigilantes in costumes. In fact, one of the most popular figures who breaks the mold is Jonah Hex, the disfigured cowboy antihero who protects the old west. The character’s already had two different iterations on the big and small screens over the past ten years and, according to our intel, there may be a third on the way in the near future.
We Got This Covered has heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Black Mask will be gay in Birds of Prey and that Viola Davis was returning for The Suicide Squad, both of which have since been confirmed – that Warner Bros. is planning on rebooting Jonah Hex. At the moment, though, they’re not sure whether they want to go in the direction of making another movie or doing a TV show centered around the outlaw.

“Crisis on Infinite Earths” will be bringing on board many DC legacy stars to reprise their famous superhero roles, including Brandon Routh as Superman, Kevin Conroy as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin (probably). It’d make sense, then, if the Arrowverse’s very first crossover actor appeared in the event, too.
According to our sources, the same ones who told us Black Mask will be gay in Birds of Prey and that Marvel was planning a She-Hulk show, both of which turned out to be true – John Wesley Shipp is returning for “Crisis.” Shipp’s been part of the franchise since The Flash season 1, playing Barry’s dad Henry Allen. After Henry died in season 2, he’s occasionally portrayed Jay Garrick, the Flash of Earth-3. However, in last year’s crossover “Elseworlds,” he finally reprised his original DC role as Barry Allen from Earth-90, referencing his leading turn in 1990’s The Flash TV series.

WB has an endless stream of movies on the slate, as they aim to get the Dceu back into working shape after the troubled earlier years of the franchise. One thing they seem to have decided to double down on is female-led films, following the success of Wonder Woman and the popularity of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. As such, it’s not too surprising that we’re now hearing of another superheroine who could get her own movie: Vixen.

However, a trailer did leak online, allowing sneaky fans to get a teaser of the highly anticipated “Suicide Squad” spinoff without leaving their home. In the leaked clip, red balloons slowly travel up the screen to eerie music before Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn dramatically slashes them with a sledgehammer. “I’m so f—ing over clowns,” she says with a smirk.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads will Roll” begins to play as Harley, Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) dive head-first into combat against their enemies. The female-led comic book movie...

Though he’ll always be Obi-Wan Kenobi to many, Ewan McGregor will soon feature in another popular franchise over in the Dceu. Yes, the beloved actor’s playing Black Mask in Warner Bros.’ villain-filled movie Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), and apparently, he’s an absolute highlight in the film.
While it’s not set to hit theaters until early next year, there’ve already been some test screenings for the upcoming pic and so far, we’ve heard that audiences are praising McGregor’s performance, along with Birds of Prey‘s gritty and violent tone and content. But it seems not everyone’s happy with what the team behind the project put together.
Indeed, we already know that Warner Bros. execs weren’t pleased with the current cut and a few weeks back, it was reported that some reshoots were ordered up. At the time,...

A new teaser trailer for Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has surfaced. As you’ll see the trailer is an It-themed trailer, which means that this is the trailer that will play in front of It: Chapter 2 next week.
The teaser is in Russian, but it offers new footage from the film and it shows off the Birds of Prey team kicking some ass. The cast of the film consists of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn; Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary; Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress; Rosie Perez as Detective Renee Montoya; Ella Jay Basco as Batgirl Cassandra Cain; Ewan McGregor as the villainous Black Mask; and Chris Messina as the serial killer, Victor Zsasz.
The movie is said to be an R-rated "girl-gang movie," and in the film Harley Quinn, Huntress, and Black Canary will team up to protect Cain...

While fans await the arrival of the new Birds of Prey trailer, some leaked screenshots have found their way online and tease Harley Quinn and her girl gang confronting Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask.
We get a look at four of the movie’s main players from these screenshots: Margot Robbie’s Clown Princess of Crime, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary and McGregor’s Roman Sionis. From these we can gather than Sionis runs a nightclub in which Dinah Lance works at as a singer. Helena Bertinelli could be the toughest fighter of the group, too, going by these pics.
As for Harley, note that in both shots of Robbie, the anti-heroine is looking at the camera. This could confirm what We Got This Covered has previously reported – that Harley will break the fourth wall in Birds of Prey, much in the style of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool.
