Netflix 'Daredevil' Series Gets a Release Date

I don't hate the 2003 Daredevil starring Ben Affleck the way some other folks out there do, but I think we're all in agreement that The Man Without Fear has long deserved proper Marvel Studios treatment. On April 10 at 12:01 PT, our wait is over.

Exclusively on Netflix, fans will be able to stream 13 one-hour episodes of Marvel's Daredevil, starring Charlie Cox as the man behind the mask, Matt Murdock. Also starring in the anticipated Netflix series are Deborah Ann Wolfe as Karen Page, Elden Johnson as Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. The Kingpin.

To tide us over until April, Marvel and Netflix have released a motion poster for the anticipated series, which you can check out below.

'Ant-Man' Teaser Debuts During 'Agent Carter'

After Marvel has spent the past few days teasing the, um, teaser for this summer's Ant-Man, fans got their first substantial look at the flick during the premiere of the exceptional Agent Cater on ABC.

Much to the likely dismay of all of those Hank Pym fans out there, this film centers around Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a criminal-turned-superhero who acquires a suit granting him the ability to decrease in size and increase in strength. The teaser shows Lang displaying his unusual powers, and Michael Douglas as an aged Pym in a mentor role.

Since Guardians of the Galaxy already proved moviegoers are comfortable with some weirdness in their comic book movies, Ant-Man shouldn't have an issue finding an audience when it hits theaters on July 17. 

Guys, Marvel's about to release an Ant-Man movie this summer and DC still hasn't been able to give us a Wonder Woman flick. Wrap your heads around that.

Check out the full "human-sized" Ant-Man teaser below!

Dancing Baby Groot Presents My Top 5 Flicks of 2014

Happy New Year, Wortmaniacs! 2014 was an incredible year for movie geeks and geeks in general, and although there were some disappointments along the way (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, I'm looking at you), there was plenty to obsess about in the multiplex this year. As I wait to finally check out Birdman this evening, I thought I'd do a quick ranking of my favorite movies in 2014. Based on the Funko POP! Vinyl, pictured above, you probably already guessed which movie snagged my No. 1 spot, so let's start there ...

1) Guardians of the Galaxy
James Gunn's Marvel Universe space opera seemed to come out of nowhere last August, and now characters like Rocket Raccoon and Drax the Destroyer are right up there with Iron Man and the Hulk in most moviegoers' eyes. This film's got a ton of action, eye-popping visual effects, hilarious character moments and one of the best soundtracks in recent memory. If you don't already own Guardians of the Galaxy, you should.

2) Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Wow. The Russo brothers' Captain America sequel is not only a solid addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a tightly paced thriller in its own right. Awesome fight sequences and a surprising amount of practical visual effects work cement this film as one of Marvel's best, and Chris Evans continues to grow and evolve as Steve Rogers.

3) St. Vincent
I didn't think a Bill Murray movie would make me cry, but here we are. This dramatic dark comedy, written and directed by Theodore Melfi, has some laughs for sure, but it's the heartstring-tugging performances by Murray, Jaeden Lieberher, Naomi Watts and Melissa McCarthy that make this one of 2014's most memorable films. And trust me: Bring some tissues for the ending.

4) The Lego Movie
What at first appears to be a cash grab turns out to be the year's most original and well-intentioned family comedy, bringing forward the message that it's okay to be different and that, sometimes, "following the instructions" isn't always the best route. Also, who would have thought that Will Arnett would be an amazing Batman?

5) X-Men: Days of Future Past
Fourteen years after kicking off the X-Men movie franchise, Bryan Singer returns to the series to clean up the mess that it's become since he left, and the end result is pretty spectacular. The film is by no means a faithful adaptation of the iconic Chris Claremont and John Byrne comic book story, but it's a fun time travel adventure and a fantastic follow-up to 2011's X-Men: First Class. This is how you fix a broken franchise.
