Chris Pratt is about to take his career out of this galaxy. According to report in Entertainment Weekly, Pratt as been confirmed to play the lead in Marvel’s upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. This movie is set to be one of the biggest pieces to Marvel’s Phase Two plan.

Pratt recently played a Navy Seal in Zero Dark Thirty but has mostly been known for his comedy side in Parks and Recreation. Pratt will play the character Star Lord, the half-human and half-alien leader. The 2nd phase of Marvel’s plan seems much more alien in nature in comparison to the 1st phase. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

How do you like Pratt in this role? Good fit?

Disney recently released online Paperman, a six-and-a-half minute Oscar-nominated animated short that played in front of the Oscar-nominated Wreck-It Ralph. While Wreck-It Ralph is certainly worth a viewing, Paperman is a must-watch. So STOP what you’re doing and watch it!

So who would you want to see featured in the first Star Wars standalone movie? If your answer is Yoda prepare to get really excited (or possibly really disappointed since Star Wars hasn’t been good for the last 30 years). According to Ain’t It Cool, our favorite little green Jedi Master will be the first Star Wars character to get his own movie.

Lucasfilm/Disney also has plans to bring some of our other favorite Star Wars characters to the big screen in their own tales. As a huge Star Wars fan, I would love to see movies centered upon Han Solo and Boba Fett. What about you guys? Any love for a Jar Jar Binks’ standalone film?

In case you haven’t heard, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is finally set to come out this year and Paramount is on the PR offensive right now. Since marketing has essentially been in the works for more than a year, Paramount has some new marketing that, I have to say, is pretty awesome. Paramount has released a new viral marketing campaign that features the Special Forces Cobra unit that is now an elite arm of the US armed forces. The video is a recruitment ad and even has its own website that is very professional and military like. It’s an incredible video and will definitely hype up the movie as it’s drawing nearer. The video may even shock you a little bit and will draw a nice premise to movie. Check it out below and let us know what you think!

New Pacific Rim images have surfaced and they are amazing! There are also reader reviews that you can read at Ain’t It Cool News. This movie could be bad or it could be really awesome. I’m pretty excited for it and I’m keeping my hopes up for it! Either way, check out the cool pics below!

WARNING: The post below reports some major news, but may contain spoilers should Marvel go with this plot.

According to a story by El Mayimbe, a new story line could be in the works for the Hulk and Marvel Studio. They posted a report that the Hulk will be sent into space at some point in The Avengers 2. He’s reportedly deemed too much of a threat to keep on Earth, and so the Marvel superheroes say goodbye to him. However, if Marvel Studios sticks to the comic, Hulk will end up going through a wormhole and will land on an alien planet. They also report that there is a separate Hulk movie that will lead into The Avengers 3. If this is true, it may turn off a lot of fans who aren’t as familiar with this storyline and especially those who love the Hulk in The Avengers.

With how Marvel played the Hulk in the first Avengers and Tony Stark reeling him in, I’d be surprised to see Marvel take this approach. The Hulk became a fan to most and to put him against Earth’s mightiest heroes would be a turn off. That being said, I’ve loved everything they’ve done up to this point and it’s hard for me to argue anything they are going to do. But if you know this story arch, get ready for some crazy changes in the story!

Walt Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph was named Best Animated Feature during Saturday’s Annie Wards, which are are presented by the International Animated Film Society. 

Wreck-It Ralph, a comedy about a video game villain who wants to turn hero, won over a good field, which included Brave, Frankenweenie, ParaNorman and Hotel Transylvania. While a lot of critics say 2012 was a down year for animated movies, I thoroughly enjoyed Brave and Hotel Transylvania very much. I thought both of those movies were also deserving, and probably more so to be honest.

That being said, Wreck-It Ralph still dominated the film categories. The movie also won Annies for director Rich Moore, voice co-star Alan Tudyk and for its music and screenplay.
