Avengers in 2016 – From Marvel Comics to Marvel Universe

June 16, 2016 By Daniel Mihai Popescu Leave a Comment

Marvel dated back in 1939 as an American comic book series. The first number was titled “Marvel Comics”, but to the next, “Mystery” was added in the title, so the collection became “Marvel Mystery Comics”. The group took again the Marvel Comics name as an imprint of Marvel Worldwide Inc. in 1961. The main characters created were Captain America, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, Thor, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk.

More about Marvel

Marvel has a tumultuous history. Marvel Entertainment filed for bankruptcy in December 1996, after a financial war between Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn, the latter eventually taking the control. In the same year, in August, Marvel created Marvel Studios, a part of the former Marvel Films which were sold to News Corporation. After that started a long process of group redesign. Following the merger between Toy Biz and Marvel Entertainment into Marvel Enterprises, the company was brought out from bankruptcy in June 1998.

The Marvel universe  is a fictional universe centred on a series of superheroes. Films, PC games and other forms of internet entertainment were developed, like online slots games. Marvel games are fabulous, just like the superhero characters created. They keep players engaged even in the free online versions of marvel games.

The first Atari games based on a Marvel hero was Spider-Man in 1982, followed by The Incredible Hulk in 1984. But the industry evolved and one of the most exciting games type created are Marvel inspired online slots games. Sites like Casino.com,  let you enjoy the experience of The Incredible Hulk,  Iron Man 2, X-Men, and many others themed slots.

Hulk’s story does not end here. The Incredible Hulk released on June 13, 2008 and directed by Louis Leterrier, starring Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell, Christina Cabot, Peter Mensah, and Lou Ferrigno, as Hulk’s voice is the precursor of the new Hulk in “The Avengers”.

In the Avengers following series, the studios replaced Edward Norton with Mark Ruffalo as “Bruce Banner”/”The Incredible Hulk”, in 2012 Marvel’s The Avengers, eventually releasing Captain America: Civil War on May 6, 2016, the first movie in what the plan calls “Phase Three”, only Hulk is not part of this one.

Avengers – Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War is a movie directed by Anthony and John Russo, produced by Kevin Feige himself (like almost all the Avengers movies), with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

Captain America: Civil War

It stars a lot of the fellows from the previous Avengers releases: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Tom Holland, Frank Grillo, William Hurt, Daniel Brühl, etc…

The plot is apocalyptic, so it’s recommended to watch the movie if you are an Avengers fan.

Kevin Feige, the production’s chief appointed in 2007, realised that only Spider-Man and the X-Men franchise were licensed elsewhere, Marvel still owned the rights to all the characters of The Avengers.

Feige said back in an interview that “in an ideal world” releases, each year would include one film based on an existing character and one featuring a new character, adding that it’s “a nice rhythm” in this format.

X-Men: The Apocalypse

Talking about “apocalyptic”, this year, another Marvel’s octopus tentacle of a movie was released. X-Men: The Apocalypse is produced by Lauren Shuler Donner and it is the most recent instalment in the series. The premiere was in London on May 7, 2016, but it has been released on May 20, and in the United States on May 27. Mutants are mutants, they have superpowers, but now, the original mutant woke up in Egypt and discovers he is the veneration object of a cult waiting for his second coming. It seems a borrowed story from Ann Rice, but it is nice made, and the public is young, like most part of the cast.

X-Men: The Apocalypse

X-Men: The Apocalypse

It stars a lot of new faces in the series, Wolverine is missing, and Magneto and Xavier have been replaced because this movie is a sequel of a sequel. Anyway, the whole bunch has been replaced here and there, so you can please your eyes with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Olivia Munn, Lucas Till, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. This movie, even being directed by Bryan Singer and written by Simon Kinberg, seems to be less appreciated than any other Avengers sample.
