Deadpool Creator Joins Fight To Return Hugh Jackman To Wolverine:

The creator of Deadpool and X-Force is joining the fight to convince Hugh Jackman to become Wolverine one more time.

Ryan Reynolds has been very vocal with his insistence that Jackman play Wolverine again, but Jackman has clearly yet politely declined numerous times.

So in comes Deadpool and X-Force creator Rob Liefeld to try to convince the actor to return.

“Yes, of course, everyone. I am one of those, I even wrote a letter. I’m holding out hope that Hugh Jackman wakes up one morning and goes, ‘Yeah, what was I thinking? I should still be Wolverine’.”

Last month Liefeld posted a lengthy letter to Instagram on the topic.

Dear @thehughjackman just checking in to reassure you per your recent comments that, yes, fans absolutely desire on the deepest possible level of affection and excitement that we can collectively muster to see you return as Wolverine alongside Ryan as Deadpool. Being in the comic business for 33 years and speaking as someone who has crafted a few memorable encounters between Logan and Wade, I can guarantee and confirm an audience and a reaction like nothing you have ever before experienced!! Wolverine is my favorite character in the history of comics, he inspired every aspect of Deadpool’s creation!! Please give some consideration to unsheathing your claws for one more glorious adventure!

Any bets on this all being planned ahead of time and Hugh Jackman has already agreed to do it behind the scenes?

Top Five Reasons Mortal Engines Bombed at the box office

5. Young Adult is a horrible category:

I don't care what age you are, we all just want a good movie. Yet suits who sit behind desks asking 'What do the kids like?' keep getting it wrong. It doesn't matter if the hero is a teen. If it's a good story people of all ages will go see it. Trying too hard to cater to Young Adult just comes off forced and people of all ages are feeling burn out with how fake it is.

4. The Hobbit:

Sure we all loved Peter Jackson's work on The Lord Of The Rings, but The Hobbit was a disappointment to many. It being stretched to three movies made the plot run a bit thin. Although fans didn't hate it near as much as The Last Jedi, we all know what happened to Solo because of the hatred for the Rian Johnson debacle.

3. Small fan base for the books:

Most are just now hearing about this book series this weekend. So now they will scramble to read the books over the next few months. Meaning that if the books are good enough, it might be a massive hit when it hits streaming outlets.

2. Unknown Cast:

Other than Hugo Weaving, the other cast members lack any passionate fan base.

1. Competition:

With Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald, Once Upon A Deadpool, along with every other movie crowding the box office right now, the movie theater is a brutal cage match with few survivors.

Kevin Smith On Spider-Man

Just as we at Nerds Drink Whiskey are massive fans of Kevin Smith, Kevin Smith is a massive fan of Spider-Man.

So much so that he has put together an amazing 20 minute explanation of every Spider-Man movie and tv show.

This may be something that people need to watch three or four times to fully absorb the concentrated information offered.

In fact, many are saying this should be watched before you go see Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse.

The clip is only 22 minutes long, so it will take you an hour and 12 minutes to watch it 3 times.

Good luck!

Monday December 17th 2018

This weekend nerd and geek cinema kicked off it's two week takeover with three brand spanking new movies. The competition is going to be fierce and brutal, so some are bound to get buried. Let's take a look at the results.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse made $35,400,000 making it the champion of not just nerd and geek movies, but the box office overall.

Ralph Breaks the Internet gained the fourth spot for the weekend, adding $9,589,000 to its four week total.

Mortal Engines was the victim of this vicious battle raking in only $7,501,000 in its first weekend. The movie is a passion project of Peter Jackson reuniting him with Lord Of The Rings star Hugo Weaving.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald did a solid 5th week making $3,650,000.

Once Upon a Deadpool may be considered a disappointment with only $2,600,000 in its first week, but with it being a re-edit this is nothing but profit.

Next weekend the competition gets even more ruthless with Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Mary Poppins Returns joining the fray.

Please post your reviews of any of these movies in the comments. What movies should we all rush to?

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance cast members and first images:

Want to know who will be the voices involved in the upcoming Netflix prequel of The Dark Crystal? Leading the voice cast are Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nathalie Emmanuel, as Rian, Brea and Deet, three Gelfling heroes. Other Gelfling characters are voiced by Helena Bonham-Carter, Eddie Izzard, Shazad Latif, and many more.

But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins."

Karen Gillan is out promoting The Party's Just Beginning that she is the director, writer, and star of.

The movie is available on Amazon Prime now, but what we want to talk about are her words about part three of Guardians of the Galaxy.

In a recent interview with People magazine she talked about her role as Nebula and the future of the series without James Gunn.

“Our director won’t be with us any longer but we are excited to continue the Guardians of the Galaxy story and keep delivering to the fans. That’s the most important thing. I don’t have any details as to when [the next Guardians film will come out] but there’s a script in existence.”

There is no way James Gunn is coming back, so who do you think can save the Guardians Of The Galaxy?

Stan Lee's Into The Spider Verse Cameo.

Stan Lee has very few of his infamous cameos left.

But his cameo in the just released Spider-man: Into the Spider Verse is a gut puncher.

Some may consider the following a spoiler, but as far as I know it is not.

Miles Morales enters a costume store to buy a Spider-Man suit.

He gets a cheap looking copy of Peter Parker's red and blue suit and wonders if it will fit.

The store clerk is Stan Lee who responds with "It always fits, eventually."

Original Hulk Lou Ferrigno hospitalized!

Don't worry, he's out now, and attending events with actor Dolph Lundgren.

Ferrigno just turned 67 last month and looks great for his age.

He ended up in the hospital after a pneumonia vaccine.

He posted on Twitter Wednesday, "Went in for a pneumonia shot and landed up here with fluid in my bicep."

Ferrigno was the star of the late 1970s TV series "The Incredible Hulk" along with Bill Bixby as Dr David Banner.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/14/health/lou-ferrigno-hospitalized-bn/index.html

Avengers Endgame Website forwards to Deadpool?

So for some reason Marvel and Disney didn't think to reserve the websites avengersendgame.com and avengersendgamemovie.com.

So someone going by the Twitter handle @AGuyInChair bought them on the same day Avengers Infinity War hit theaters.

How he figured out the name so early seems unclear at this time.

What is clear is that all he wants from Marvel is two tickets to the premiere of Avengers Endgame.

When neither Disney nor Marvel responded to his offer, he decided to have some fun.

So he had the domains forward to the website for Once Upon a Deadpool.

Ryan Reynolds got involved and things only got more entertaining.

He sent @AGuyInChair a care package featuring the Ryan Reynolds owned Aviator brand gin.

To which @AGuyInChair immediately offered up for anyone who could get him two tickets to the premiere of Avengers Endgame.

Ryan Reynolds responded on Twitter with “This isn’t to say I’m proud of what you did. Just that I happen to love you.”

Still no response from Disney or Marvel though it seems.

Monday December 10th 2018

This weekend had the second lowest box office of the year, but next weekend should be massive.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Mortal Engines, and Once Upon A Deadpool will be released just days from now.

This is followed with Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Mary Poppins Returns on December 21st.

So you can call this 'The calm before the storm.'

Ralph Breaks the Internet still topped the box office with $16,253,831.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald raked in $6,953,846 for the weekend.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/

Netflix has released a teaser for season three of Stranger Things without releasing a single scene from the upcoming season.

They released the episode titles and that the show will be based in the year 1985.

The show titles announced are “Suzie, Do You Copy?,” “The Mall Rats,” “The Case of the Missing Lifeguard,” “The Sauna Test,” “The Source,” “The Birthday,” “The Bite,” and “The Battle of Starcourt.”

Some speculate that the Suzie mentioned in the first episode is Max Mayfield's mother Susan Hargrove.

Maybe the second episode is a trip to the mall that doesn't go as planned?

It's a pretty safe bet that the last episode will be a big fight against this seasons evil beast.

Please post the most ridiculous predictions possible in the comments.

Let's have some fun with these vague titles.

https://bgr.com/2018/12/10/stranger-things-season-3-episode-titles/

Bumblebee won't be released into theaters until December 21st, but it's already getting a 100% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Since that's only based on 12 reviews, that should be taken with a massive sized grain of salt.

Maybe people are just THAT happy that Michael Bay isn't in charge of the Transformers franchise anymore?

Or could it be that Travis Knight's work on Coraline, ParaNorman, and The Boxtrolls received so much respect that the hopes are extremely high.

Only time will tell if this sixth movie in the Transformers franchise can live up to those high expectations.

Will Bumblebee live up to the hype?

Post your thoughts in the comments.

BUCKETHEADS: A Star Wars Story (2018 Fan Film)

Sometimes a Star Wars Fan Film is released that everyone needs to stand up and take notice of.

BUCKETHEADS is one of these fan films.

Shot in September 2017 in Vancouver, BC, Canada, it had over 76 people directly involved in the project.

The story covers one battle from the Stormtroopers point of view.

Clocking in at 13 minutes and 34 seconds, it is highly recommended.

So please watch it and let us know what you think in the comments.

Jake Gyllenhaal confirms Mysterio role in Spiderman

Gyllenhaal posted to Instagram today that he is not playing the iconic superhero Spiderman.

This is not news to anyone as there have been set photos of him in the Mysterio costume.

It is however the first time anyone from the movie has officially confirmed Mysterio in  Spiderman: Far From Home.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is scheduled to be released on July 5th, 2019 in the United States.

Who is Captain Marvel's cat?

In the comics the cat was called Chewie and named after everyone's favorite Wookie.

In the upcoming movie the cat is called Goose and is named after a revenge loving nerd from Top Gun.

No matter if you call it Chewie or Goose it is a Flerken and has enough tentacles coming from its mouth to make a fan of Japanese anime blush.

Within its body it holds pocket realities, bubbles of space, and time that existed in other worlds.

It can understand human conversation and is helpless if muzzled.

Like my dog Awesome, it can eat anything, but unlike my dog, it won't get sick.

Will Guardians of the Galaxy member Rocket Racoon identify Goose as a Flerken like he did in the comics?

Will Nick Fury lose an eye while gushing over the cute little furball?

My guess is no on both of these.

Look for Goose on the latest Captain Marvel trailer linked in the show notes.

Yesterday we reported about how Ryan Reynolds won't give up on Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine.

Today we learn that The Russo Brothers Joe and Anthony have announced that both Deadpool and Xmen will definitely arrive in the MCU.

Being the directors of Avengers 4, they would know.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has also made it clear that it will all fall under one roof.

"I want to be careful here because of what's been communicated to the Fox folks, but I think they know. It only makes sense for Marvel to be supervised by one entity. There shouldn't be two Marvels."

So is Ryan Reynolds fight to get Hugh Jackman back to play Wolverine just a tease of what's to come?

https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a25409449/x-men-deadpool-marvel-mcu-avengers-4-directors/


Tuesday December 4th 2018

No matter how clear Hugh Jackman is about never returning to the Wolverine character, Ryan Reynolds won't give up on the idea.

Earlier on The Ellen Show he told the host that "I would love to do a Deadpool, Wolverine mashup at some point, some kind of Logan thing. I don't know. He's on this kick ball change kick right now. I can't seem to bring him back. I can't seem to bring him back to the violence and mayhem. I'm trying. I talk to him every other day. Every other, other day he takes the call. But yeah, no, it's not really a rivalry. It's war."

Who do you think will win this war of wills? Will Ryan Reynolds convince Hugh Jackman to return to Wolverine one more time?

https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/12/04/ryan-reynolds-hugh-jackman-deadpool-war/

Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan just adopted both a donkey and an emu.

He may play the villain Negan on The Walking Dead, but he obviously has a soft spot for animals.

The donkey and the emu have been best friends and didn't want to be separated.

The two cuddle up and sleep together and will become frantic and agitated when apart.

Carolina Waterfowl Rescue Founder Jennifer Gordon says they received 2,000 inquiries to adopt the two, but feel that the AMC star has the resources to make sure the two are given the best home.

Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington says that one decade of his life is enough.

"It was emotional to leave the job, definitely, But I wouldn't say I was sad: If, like me, you go all the way back to the pilot of 'Game of Thrones,' that's almost 10 years of your life."

Although he has made it clear he is grateful for the show that made him famous, there is no chance he would ever go back.

"It was a huge emotional upheaval leaving that family," he said. "But would I want to go back and do more? Not on your life."

It took only three months of filming in New York City, but filming has wrapped on Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.

This Joker film is a stand alone movie and is not connected with the main DCEU Joker currently played by Jared Leto.

The movie is directed by Todd Phillips, and also stars the legendary Robert De Niro as Murray Franklin.

The movie is an origin story with The Joker's real name being Arthur Fleck.

This has led many to believe that the movie will end with the twist of this being an impostor.

One of the longest running gags of The Joker is that he has no true origin, has no 'real' name, and does everything to keep it that way.

After the failure of Iron Fist on Netflix, Marvel might be looking to bring another martial arts character to the limelight.

Shang-Chi may not be one of Marvel's most well known comic book properties, but Marvel loves bringing their more obscure characters into the MCU.

Wonder Woman 1984 co-writer Dave Callaham has been hired to write a screenplay.

Callaham is of Chinese descent and a Brown Belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu.

Do you think this will be another smash hit for the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

https://news.avclub.com/forget-iron-fist-marvel-studios-is-making-a-shang-chi-1830839668

So a second slightly less vague trailer has been released for Captain Marvel.

Am I the only one disappointed that they don't show the cat turning into a monster like in the comic?

Also, the cat is no longer named after the most popular wookie, but is now named after Goose in Top Gun.

Although the trailer tries to make it clear that she bleeds blue blood, is Kree, and a hero, take it all with a grain of salt.

Well, except the part where she's the hero. I think we can assume that part is still canon.

Marvel is great at leading us to believe they gave us full spoilers in a trailer, just to make the plot twist in the movie have more impact.

Click the link in the show note to see the trailer for yourself, then post your thoughts below.

Hopefully you’ve heard that the Nerds Drink Whiskey Christmas party is on Saturday.

Yes we will have both our shot glasses and low ball glasses to give away.

But we will also have our brand spanking new shirts to give away!

We don’t know when we will be able to print up more shirts, so this might be your only chance.

See you on Saturday at Dogger’s then?

Monday December 3rd 2018

Movies for Nerds and geeks have once again ruled the major motion picture box office.

Ralph Breaks The Internet leads the pack with a total of $25,756,000 for the weekend.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald raked in $11,200,000 during its third week.

Venom is still printing money in the ninth week with a $380,000 weekend total.

But keep in mind that the real invasion is still on the way.

December 14th three movies are unleashed.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Once Upon A Deadpool, and Mortal Engines.

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/


Pollyanna McIntosh revealed that “things are in process” for the Rick Grimes movie trilogy.

The trilogy will be overseen by chief content officer Scott Gimple.

McIntosh also told fans at the Fan Fest San Jose that she assumes that she will be involved.

It is also been strongly hinted that the trilogy will give more detail about the well-equipped helicopter group.

The Walking Dead returns with its back half of Season Nine Sunday, February 10th on AMC.

So Star Wars Galaxy Of Adventures was launched on YouTube Friday.

There is very clearly a reason why this was launched on Star Wars Kids instead of the main Star Wars outlets.

The videos seemed flooded with comments talking about how the videos were great and would indeed open up Star Wars to a younger audience.

When I tried to watch them, they came off as trailers to a show that would never happen.

They were so short, that there was zero story.

Because they were only select scenes, there was not even what could be called a short story arch.

In short, older nerds need not apply, but let us know in the comments if your kids enjoy them.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDe7m0POuwkL1gwnQ-FVhMw


Saturday December 8th at 1:00 pm the Nerds Drink Whiskey Christmas party begins.

We will be giving away our shot glasses, low ball glasses, and our brand new Nerds Drink Whiskey t-shirts!

Be entertained as the cast of Nerds Drink Whiskey exchange the worst Christmas presents they could find for each other.

And of course there will be whiskey tastings all at Dogger's in Yelm Wa.

We hope you can make it!

01 The Satanic Temple Settles Case Against Netflix

It looks like The Satanic Temple has settled their case against Netflix.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina used a Baphomet throughout season one, that looked almost exactly like the Baphomet used by The Satanic Temple.

Lucien Greaves of The Satanic Temple has announced that the lawsuit has been “amicably settled.”

The temple will be acknowledged in the credits for episodes of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” that have already been filmed.

All other details of the settlement are confidential and will not be released at this time.

02 Stranger Things actress UNICEF’s Youngest Goodwill Ambassador

Millie Bobby Brown (who plays Eleven on Stranger Things) is now the youngest UNICEF's goodwill ambassador.

The internationally known actress is currently 14 years old.

United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund made the announcement recently.

"Given UNICEF's global role as the world's leading voice for children and young people, to be the

youngest-ever Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF is more than an honor. It's a powerful privilege."

The third season of Stranger Things began production in April 2018, but will not be released until mid-2019 sometime.

03 George R.R. Martin Harassed by Stephen Colbert

George R.R. Martin was recently on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert where the host harassed him a little about his lack of focus on finishing The Winds Of Winter.

Martin just released his 700 page Fire and Blood with the acknowledgement that it's only the first half of his prequel story.

He promised Colbert that he would release The Winds Of Winter before working on the second half of Fire And Blood.

Martin has hinted several times that The Winds Of Winter will be the darkest of the books in the series.

04 Hugh Jackman Is Done With Wolverine

Most of us understand that Hugh Jackman is finished playing the role of Wolverine.

Deadpool's Ryan Reynolds has been trying to convince him to return to the role.

But the actor has stayed firm that no matter how much he enjoyed it, he is done.

"When I saw Deadpool, I was like, wow that's cool. It's just a matter of time. It's a

bit like you're at the greatest party you've ever been at, you've been dancing for an hour

and a half, and then you're just like 'It's time, ok. If I stay any longer, it's gonna get

ugly.' It's like, it's time."

05 The Crimes of Grindelwald rakes in $300M

Fantastic Beasts 2 has raked in $300M total so far!

This means that it has already passed its budget of $200 million.

It's six-day domestic total is up to $81m.

This is still well below the $814 million total for the first Fantastic Beasts movie.

In October 2016, Rowling announced that the Fantastic Beasts film series would be comprised of five films.

06 Wreck It Ralph On Fortnite

Fortnite has never been above a little bit of a crossover tie in.

In May they made Thanos a playable character.

This being a Wreck it Ralph weekend, it's not shocking that he has been seen in the game.

A Reddit user going by the tag MozzzyyTwitch saw the big guy on a movie screen at the Risky Reels location.

Of course Ralph Breaks the Internet has enough pop culture references to give Ready Player One a run for its money.

https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/22/wreck-it-ralph-fortnite/

________________________________________________

07 Is Venom Sequel Confirmed?

While we hold out hope that Jared Leto's Morbius won't be as disappointing as his Joker, Sony has confirmed a Venom sequel.

The first Venom has raked in $780.2 million so far world wide, so it's not shocking that a sequel is being made.

Morbius will be released on July 10th of 2020, while Spider-Man: Far From Home is scheduled for release on July 5th of 2019.

So the “untitled Sony-Marvel sequel” coming on October 2nd could only be the sequel to Venom.

So we have less time to wait until we see Woody Harrelson devour some scenery as Carnage.

Female Pirate Replaces Jack Sparrow

Female Pirate Replaces Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean?

About a month ago we talked about the rumor that Disney was thinking about replacing Johnny Depp.

This would obviously be a risky move since every movie in the franchise has made around $1 Billion dollars each.

So a pirate named Redd has become an important figure on both the Disneyland and Disney World rides.

She is said to have taken over the controversial wench auction scene on the rides.

No passing of the torch where Jack Sparrow sails off into the sunset.

No subtle introduction in the movies where we get to meet Redd.

How do you think fans will accept Redd as the new protagonist in the franchise?

https://movieweb.com/pirates-of-caribbean-reboot-female-lead-redd-no-jack-sparrow/

Once Upon A Deadpool Trailer Released

So the first trailer for Once Upon A Deadpool has been released.

For those unaware, Once Upon A Deadpool is a PG-13 edit of Deadpool 2.

It will be somewhat of a reenactment of the scenes from The Princess Bride, with Fred Savage and his grandpa in that movie, except Fred is a grown man, and Deadpool is in the grandpa's chair reading the story.

Fred is also not happy to be there, is tied up, and is throwing shade back at Deadpool better than anyone we've seen so far.

Once Upon A Deadpool hits theaters on December 12th.

$1 of every ticket will benefit Fudge Cancer, a charity whose name is edited because this is a PG-13 movie.

Click the link to the trailer in the show notes, and let us know your thoughts.

The Infinity War On Christmas

Avengers Infinity War hits Netflix on Christmas Day.

This will be the end of an era of sorts, as after this Disney will save it's premium content for its own streaming service.

Disney+ will launch late 2019 where eventually it will be all things Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, etc.

No word on when Ant-man And The Wasp will be available on Netflix though.

Bill Maher Is A Petulant Child

Bill Maher acted like a petulant child when he said some disrespectful things about fans mourning the loss of Stan Lee recently.

Author Neil Gaiman has given the best response so far on his Twitter account with...

"Maher’s just trolling, and lots of people are rising to the troll. (Julie Burchill did it better 30 years ago with her “There aren’t any adult comics because adults don’t read comics” line. ) More people cared about Stan Lee’s death than care about Bill Maher alive."

The company that Stan Lee helped found POW! Entertainment has released a statement as well.

“Mr. Maher: Comic books, like all literature, are storytelling devices. When written well by great creators such as Stan Lee, they make us feel, make us think and teach us lessons that hopefully make us better human beings. One lesson Stan taught so many of us was tolerance and respect, and thanks to that message, we are grateful that we can say you have a right to your opinion that comics are childish and unsophisticated. Many said the same about Dickens, Steinbeck, Melville and even Shakespeare.”

This is why I have never been able to take Bill Maher that seriously, even on the occasion that I agree with him.

He's too often an immature troll.

Hot off of a lawsuit with The Satanic Temple, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has announced a holiday episode.

The holiday episode will hit Netflix on December 14th and will be called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter's Tale.

The story will revolve around the Spellman family celebrating the winter solstice.

https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/12/netflix-chilling-adventures-of-sabrina-holiday-episode/



The new trailer for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu has been released.

I can't be the only one who is extremely disturbed by Deadpool being the voice of Pikachu.

Yes, you heard that correctly. Ryan Reynolds is the voice of Pikachu.

Some wanted Danny DeVito, but I'm not sure that would be much better.

Although there are many rumors about what the actual title will be for Avengers 4, the loudest of these is Annihilation.

Another rumor that keeps gaining steam is that the trailer will be released just in time to be played before the new Mary Poppins movie.

The source for this is one Jeremy Conrad and he seems to know more than the average fan.

His prediction also includes that the Avengers 4 trailer will leak well before the December 19th premiere of Mary Poppins Returns.
