After weeks of speculation and rumors floating around the web, Warner Brothers has come out of nowhere and officially announced that none other than Ben Affleck will take on the role of Batman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel sequel, tentatively titled either Batman vs. Superman, or Superman vs. Batman (I tend to prefer the latter, since a Superman sequel would seem to imply that his name should come first in the title). Read on for the official press release from Warner Brothers!

It has been a while since we’ve heard any news on a sequel to 2008’s Rambo, and when we do, it’s always something different. First, there was the idea that Rambo would get a little more sci-fi, with the lead character hunting down genetically engineered instinctual killers. Then, that idea changed into something more traditional for the franchise, with Rambo heading over the U.S.-Mexico border to rescue a young girl from human traffickers and drug lords. Finally, Sylvester Stallone went on record as saying that he was “99% sure” that Rambo wouldn’t be returning – at least in another film, that is.

As it turns out, Rambo may indeed return after all, as Entertainment One and Nu Image are currently developing a Rambo TV series, with Stallone in talks to join the project “on a creative level,” and word is circulating that he may even star in the series. Read on for more!

While the biggest buzz to come out of San Diego Comic-Con was Zack Snyder’s announcement of his Superman vs. Batman flick, as well as the title reveal for the next Avengers film (The Avengers: Age of Ultron), Thor: The Dark World somehow seems to still slip under the radar for some reason, even though it’s the next big Marvel film to be released this year that ties directly into The Avengers (Marvel’s biggest hit) with the return of Thor and his adopted evil brother, Loki. People are interested, and some great footage was apparently screened at Comic-Con, but it seems other comic-related films are getting more buzz these days (although Loki actor Tom Hiddleston did make quite an entrance in Hall H).

Well, the second trailer for Thor: The Dark World has landed online, with enough Thor and plenty of Loki to go around to hopefully remind people just how cool these characters are and that this sequel is what comic book fans should be focusing on right now. Judging purely from the looks of it, this film may be the Thor film that some fans wanted with the first, with much more action this time around, and it really seems to be going for a much darker tone than both the first Thor film and The Avengers. Hit the jump to watch!
