I’d love to tell you which celebrities will be at which event, but so many of them cross between the two as they’ve had so many great roles, it’s going to be hard to keep them separated. So I’m just going to put them out there in random order.

[Video] Teaser Reveals Hard-Hitting Frank Castle for Netflix’s Upcoming Marvel Series ‘The Punisher’

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

If you haven’t finished watching The Defenders on Netflix, then I recommend that you go do it. There hasn’t been much disappointment in the Marvel/Netflix teamups.

The next Marvel character coming to a solo show on Netflix is The Punisher and they’ve given us just a little teaser to whet our appetites.

 

Frank Castle aka The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) was first seen in Daredevil and his hard nosed-vigilante approach quickly won fans over. We expect to see him later this year, but we don’t have an official release date yet.

Why C2E2 Guest Jon Bernthal is a Great Punisher

by Garrett & Melissa Anderson
written by Garrett & Melissa Anderson

jon-bernthal

punisher

Frank “The Punisher” Castle

The wait is almost over for the very first live action TV show adaption of the Punisher! At its helm we have Jon Bernthal playing Frank Castle aka the Punisher. We were first introduced to him on Netflix in Marvel’s Daredevil season two as an opposition to Matt Murdock /Daredevil. In my opinion, Jon stole every scene in which he appeared. Now if you haven’t watched Daredevil, then you really don’t know to what I am referring. So let’s look at some of Jon’s credentials.

shane

Shane from The Walking Dead

He has been in the The Walking Dead, Fury, Wolf on Wall Street, The Accountant, Mob City, and Sicario. Probably his most recognized one out of that list is the The Walking Dead.  Jon played Shane, a character who was cold, vindictive, calculating, and yet caring at the same time. All of these attributes are almost identical to Frank Castle’s character.  Not only does he play these attributes well but he looks so identical to the Punisher, it looks like you ripped a page from one of the comic books and then brought it to life. I believe that he will crush the part just as he has before!

You can meet Jon Bernthal at the next C2E2 event in April!

PopCultHQ’s Convention Preview: Alamo City Comic Con 2016

by Amanda the Brainy Librarian
written by Amanda the Brainy Librarian

Last year’s Alamo City Comic Con was epic! When I say that I had the time of my life there, that is by no means an exaggeration. From the looks of things, this year promises to be just as amazing. Here’s a preview of what you can expect October 28 – 30, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX:

ACCC logo

Celebrities: Last year’s layout was well-organized and lines were manageable and quick. Like any con, celebrities ranged among different aspects of popular culture from television and movies to wrestlers.

This year’s celebrities include David Tennant, Jon Bernthal, Jeremy Bulloch, Billy Dee Williams, Ralph Macchio, Margot Kidder, and Dennis Rodman and more.

Artists: There will be plenty of artists for the comic fan. Even I, who isn’t the savviest comic fan, walked the aisles and aisles of artists to admire the artwork. I even purchased some artwork for friends of mine. This year’s con will feature: Greg Capullo, Brian Pulido, Carlos D’anda and more. Lots to look forward to for comic fans!

Young Adventurers: A new addition to this year’s con will be the Young Adventurers Workshop. Six award-winning middle school authors will be signing books and meeting fans. The workshop will also include special children’s panels. The list of authors featured are: Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles series, The Modern Faerie Tale series), Bruce Coville (My Teacher Is An Alien, Unicorn Chronicles series), Lou Anders (Thrones & Bones series), Obert Skye (Leven Thumps series, The Pillage trilogy), Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely series, The Blackwell Pages series), and Matthew Cody (Supers Of Noble Green trilogy, Will In Scarlet). This should be a hit with readers of all ages.

Other fun con stuff:

1) Tons of vendor booths for both serious collectors and casual consumers. I was able to walk away with several Funko Pops! at a reasonable price.

2) Fun activities! Many booths/tables will have activities, photo opportunities (a group of 501st for the Star Wars fans), and giveaways.

3) Food and drinks! Food was excellent at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. And Ia huge, huge plus was the adult beverages available. I was able to unwind with some signature drinks like “The Walker” (vodka and Red Bull), and “Marvel” (vodka, Red Bull, triple sec, and lime juice). Believe me, it was much needed after a long day of con activities.

4) Adult fun/After Hours: This year’s adult fun is still TBA. Last year offered a DJ set from Kristian Nairn (That’s Hodor from Game of Thrones).

5) Cosplay and camaraderie: All cons are a great opportunity for fans to gather and find others with common interests. Attending panels or just standing in line, you’ll meet some of the most intriguing people. It’s one of the best things about cons, in my opinion. I love the camaraderie and friendly people from all walks of life coming together for pop culture.

Alamo City Comic Con throws the one of the best cons around. It’ll be exciting to see what this year brings. See you all there in October!

Wizard World Chicago: This May Be the Best One Yet!!

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

In case you haven’t heard yet, Wizard World is coming to Chicago August 18-21 and it looks like it will be bigger and better than ever.

They have a lot of top name guests, artists and writers. In fact, this year has more big names that I am interested in seeing and meeting than they ever have before. I might actually have to spend some time in that part of the convention center.

carriefisherOne of the big pieces of news to me is the fact that Carrie Fisher will be making her first ever Wizard World appearance in Chicago. That’s right folks, Princess Leia is coming to Chicago. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to afford it, but one can always dream.

Carrie Fisher (Story), actress, writer, and daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, made her film debut in Shampoo and became a cultural icon playing Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy. She starred in such hits as When Harry Met Sally, Hannah and Her Sisters, and The Blues Brothers. Her television credits include “Laverne & Shirley” and “Sex and the City,” and her appearance in “30 Rock” was Emmy Award-nominated. Fisher’s bestselling novel, Postcards from the Edge, netted her the Los Angeles PEN Literary Award for Best First Novel, and her Postcards screenplay for the Oscar-nominated film starred Shirley MacLaine and Meryl Streep. Three novels and two memoirs have followed: Delusions of Grandma, Surrender the Pink, The Best Awful, Wishful Drinking, and Shockaholic. Her one-woman Broadway show Wishful Drinking was filmed for HBO and was Emmy-nominated. Most recently Fisher reprised her role of Princess Leia in the record breaking box office hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens. She can also be seen in the critically acclaimed Amazon series “Catastrophe” and is completing her latest book The Princess Diarist out this fall.

ww_michaeljfox_leathompson_christopherloyd_1They also have the Back to the Future cast members, including Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Michael J. Fox. Michael is another big one for me. Not only did I have a crush on him when I was younger, he’s also a fellow West Coast Canadian and he is a strong proponent for Parkinsons research. A lot of people owe him a debt of gratitude for all the attention he has brought to Parkinsons and all the contributions he has made. If there was any one star I could afford to spend my time and money on, it would be him.

daredevilannouncechicagofb_v001The names I really want to see just keep rolling on. They also have the cast of Marvel’s Daredevil in Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher), Elodie Yung (Elektra Natchios), and Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple). This is an absolutely awesome series on Netflix, and if you haven’t seen it yet, then please check it out.

ww_davidduchovny_gilliananderson_williambdavis_mitchpileggi_proofb_compr..._1

On top of all that they also have an X-Files reunion with Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi & William B. Davis. The X-Files is one of those classic cult status TV series that will never go away. There was a magical element to that whole series that just made it work.

Other well noted actors that will be in attendance are Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead), Rose McIver (iZombie), John Barrowman (Arrow), and so many more. Check out the Wizard World Chicago site to see.

Wizard World Chicago is located at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, August 18-21.

It’s Official! “The Punisher” Series Coming To Netflix & Bernthal Is Back!

by Jason Bennett
written by Jason Bennett

It was announced today that Marvel and Netflix have struck a deal to produce an original series starring The Punisher. Noted for his standout performance on Marvel’s Daredevil, Jon Bernthal has been tapped to reprise his role as Frank Castle, the mercenary bad boy. Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) will serve as the showrunner. Upon the announcement, Lightfoot had this to say regarding the series and its star,

“For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Steve Lightfoot. “After watching Jon’s performance in Marvel’s Daredevil I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.”

Both Marvel and Netflix are excited to bring this series to light after the incredible job Bernthal did in his role.

“We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from Marvel’s Daredevil, said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb, in Marvel’s official statement. “Now combined with Showrunner Steve Lightfoot’s compelling writing, we’re thrilled to bring Marvel’s The Punisher to Netflix.”

“Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in Marvel’s Daredevil, and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.

With two characters combining for three seasons in Daredevil and Jessica Jones, and with three other series forthcoming (Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders), the partnership between companies, along with the success of their shows, looks to be one of longevity. The Punisher will remain in Hell’s Kitchen deliver his brand of justice. No word as to when we might expect to see this new series, but with three other projects in the works, and a possible season two for Jessica Jones, it’s unlikely we will be watching Frank Castle until 2018 at the earliest. Unless due to demand and fan interest they fast track the series.

Netflix posted a teaser image on Twitter simply saying, “Coming soon.”
