The studio’s TV arm and the TV Network are developing four 13-part superhero series, kicking off in 2015. Those will lead into what they’re calling “a miniseries programming event”, a version of Marvel’s The Defenders that “reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters”.

What happens when you cast Kevin Hart as a loud-mouthed school security guard together with hard-nosed cop Ice Cube ? Well, the new action comedy Ride Along hopes it equals laughs. Hart is Ben, a man more used to dealing with schoolyard squabbles than major crime. He also happens to be head over heels in love with Angela ( Tika Sumpter ), and intends to marry her, but there’s just one small problem: her big brother James ( Cube ). Singularly unimpressed with the “Smurf” his sister has chosen to spend his life with, James decides that the only way Ben can prove himself worthy, now that he's joined the police academy, is to come on a ride-along. After the necessary preparation montage, the pair hits the streets. Our worries that this one seems overly generic aren’t dispelled by the new promo: even with Hart’s live-wire delivery and Cube’s typically tough-guy stuff, we still feel like we’ve seen every joke before. The whole film will, like Ben, have to prove itself when i

Thor: The Dark World Review By: MattInRC A Thor -sized helping of Phase 2 is the best Marvel sequel so far. Back in the summer, we wrote a glowing review of Iron Man 3, but since then our opinion has noticeably dulled. Disappointed at the lack of 'Iron Man moments' and still seething over the treatment of The Mandarin, we recently demoted it out of our top 10 list of 2013. It therefore shouldn't come as a shock that we were worried whether Marvel Studios had lost a bit of their mojo post-Avengers. Luckily, Thor: The Dark World relieves any anxiety, delivering a deeper, tonally darker production that is also funny at times while setting its sights clearly on a larger-scale Phase 2. Set two years after Avengers, Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) has been playing galactic police, quelling riots throughout The Nine Realms while his girlfriend Jane Foster ( Natalie Portman ) has moved to London to start a new life. Both are miserable, but events will soon bring them
