Marvel Studios Hawkeye Trailer Drops HARD

Add a new instant holiday action classic to your winter watch list! Today, Disney+ has dropped the trailer for their new Hawkeye series, teaming the all-too-human Avenger with Kate Bishop, the woman who would be his successor. Until now, we've gotten only some quick quips from Hawkeye, whether in the heat of action reminiscing about that chaotic Budapest escapade or laying on a hospital table getting skin grafts, so die-hard Marvel Comics fans have been waiting for the powers that be to present us with the wise-cracking, crap talking, takes 100 hits and gets back up Hawkeye that we know and love from years of books. Friends, it looks like our time has come. 

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (3D)

I'd just finished watching the entire first season of "Once Upon a Time" where all your childhood fairy tales are re-imagined with fantastic results when along comes Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters...complete with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton looking all bad ass and blood thirsty. SOLD! There doesn't seem to be an official synopsis yet, but IMDB says: "15 years after their traumatic gingerbread-house incident, siblings Hansel and Gretel have become a formidable team of bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world." Skint info, yes, but I'm sure enough to wet your appetites...and plenty more to come, surely, before the January 2013 release...provided we survive the alien invasion in December. There's always that to think about.

Here's the trailer...

A New Bourne Legacy Trailer

There are action stars aplenty across the planet, all claiming their skills are unmatched....but can your boy whup ass on an assassin with a ball point pen and a hardcover copy of Catcher in the Rye? Probably not. This August, a new unstoppable killing force takes us along for the ride! I'm hoping this guy shows us how to make a shiv out of an ordinary piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper! Your choice of color. Crafts r fun.

The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films.

For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.

Our buddy Wilson at Blackfilm.com tipped us off on this new trailer, so without further delay let the bitchslapping commence...

Toy Fair 2012: Marvel Select Avengers Hawkeye

As is the trend as we get closer to the big show (ie; Toy Fair), the biggest scoops get given to humungous websites that have very little to do with action figures. (but I'm not bitter...much.) Ain't It Cool got this first look at Diamond Select's Marvel Select Avengers Movie Hawkeye, which I stumbled upon by accident through a narcissistic search for websites running our Batman news which lead me to an Italian website. Gotta love it.

While I'll say this is the best Hawkeye figure I've seen to date...and go so far as to say Marvel Select blew the doors off of Hasbro's version, I still don't think the likeness is there. I'd also like to make a snarky MEH face at the costume which is completely uninspired, gives ZERO nods to the classic comic look and just smacks of real world X-Menified leathers. Blaa. While I didn't expect them to deck him out in purple tights, I was just hoping for...well...more. Oh well. That said, more kudos to Marvel Select for packing this dude with articulation..something the line is not really known for! Now the final question will be how Hawkeye looks next to Widow, Cap, Thor, etc. Marvel Select is also not known for putting their figures in scale with each other, deferring to a 7 inch standard save for those extra big monsters.

Ain't It Cool reports we'll see the Gentle Giant crafted Hawkeye this May, sporting 16 points of articulation, his bow and arrows and a detailed base that locks into the base of the Mystery Villain of the Avengers film. Now we wait for Hulk to pop up on E or some such movie site. (yes totally bitter.)
