Welcome to Collider’s Heroes, hosted by Jon Schnepp, with John Campea and very special guest Adi Shankar, executive of the film Dredd, and the short Punisher Dirty Laundry and Power / Ranger, The Grey starring Liam Neeson and many more. We bring you the latest news about the Cinematic World of Heroes and Villains! On this episode of Collider’s Heroes (Tuesday Dec 8th, 2015) we discuss the following Spiderman, Antman, Black Panther in Civil War news! Anthony Russo said that Spiderman has always been a part of the Captain America: Civil War storyline, and that they cast the young Tom Holland to be the age appropriate high schooler that Peter Parker is in this new incarnation. Spiderman and Antman enter the movie later and bring the laughs, while Black Panther enters the film early, is central to the story, and never picks a side like all the other characters. Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice Trailer 2! The second full length trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice dropped last wednesday, which features dialog between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent, much much more Lex Luthor, and something that looked like a Teenage Ninja Abomination coming in and attacking both Batman and Superman. It’s been officially revealed that the “Knightmare Batman” chained up and fighting those parademons and a grim silent Superman seen in this trailer is indeed a nightmare that Bruce Wayne has in the movie. Speaking of those two guys who are really angry with each other, they are subsequently revealed to be pals at the end of the trailer, and fighting side by side with Wonder Woman right before the now useless somewhat deflated title appears. “Iron Fist” Netflix Series moves forward with Showrunner and Executive Producer! The series that many have been doubting might be made is now officially a go with Marvel bringing on Scott Buck to be the Showrunner and Executive Producer. Jeph Loeb says Scotts idea knocked them off their feet. Buck said "I’ve always been drawn to writing complex, intriguing characters, and that’s what most excites me about the opportunity to bring Danny Rand and “Iron Fist” to life with Marvel on Netflix."Here is the official Marvel Netflix Series Description: “Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.” I’m looking forward to how they introduce Danny and Luke Cage, if they were friends before Rand disappeared, and how all these characters become the Defenders and what brings them all together.

These diseased hybrids are tough for Blade and his eventual allies to fight, and this second feature brings with it that Del Toro style, amazing designs, and a great final fight.
