A Spider-Man villain gets a major upgrade
While Marvel fans wait for Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr to relaunch The Amazing Spider-Man later this year, the series is still being published with one of its most ambitious storylines that’s barely making a blip online.
The issue begins with both Peter Parker and Ben Reilly working together to bring down a Super Villain programme at the Beyond Corporation. The pair is later joined by the Daughters of the Dragon, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, to continue the investigation, leading to the mysterious Door Z. The door’s secret is revealed on the final page, showing that Spider-Man villain, The Lizard aka Dr Curt Connors, had grown in size exponentially and also sprouted wings.
The Lizard’s appearance in Marvel comics might be the most malleable of all of Spider-Man’s villains. The cover for the next issue shows them off even better than the splash page from the issue.
Will Smith to star in I Am Legend sequel with Michael B. Jordan
Will Smith will return for a sequel to his 2007 movie I Am Legend at Warner Bros., and he’ll be joined by Michael B. Jordan.
In the original film from 2007, Smith starred as the last man in New York after a plague has wiped out most of humanity and turned the rest into zombies.
While plot details are being kept under wraps for the new movie, Akiva Goldsman is returning to both write and produce the follow-up after he originally adapted the I Am Legend screenplay based on a book of the same name by Richard Matheson. No director is attached to the I Am Legend sequel at this stage.
