Ant-Man has arrived...and our excitement is not small scale!

I have been awaiting Ant-Man for a LONG time. I have enjoyed all the hype and unique marketing techniques deployed by Marvel, and now the time has finally arrived to see this small scale superhero on the big screen. Now, this is just my reaction to the movie, but I'll do my best to keep out any spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet.

Design of the Week: On Your Left

There's probably only person I'd want on my left in a fight...even if it means getting lapped trying to keep up.

Show your support for your favorite Avenger with this soft 100% pre-shrunk cotton shirt designed by our artists at MyGeekery!

We finally have our new Spiderman...and it's not who we guessed.

It's a big day for Avengers and Marvel fans in general. It feels like plans for Spiderman have been in teeter-totter mode for months. Now, finally, we have some solid news to latch onto...and it's (hopefully) good news, at that.

As announced on Marvel's blog this morning:

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are proud to announce that after a full worldwide casting search, Tom Holland will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man film, in theaters in IMAX and 3D on July 28, 2017.

There you have it! We not only have our new Spidey - Tom Holland, a relative unknown (though if Tom Hiddleston's and Chris Hemsworth's Marvel debuts say anything, he won't stay that way for long!) - but a release date, and a director: Jon Watts of upcoming thriller "Cop Cars".

What do you think? Are you relieved/excited Marvel has picked a no-name to launch to stardom, or were you holding out for Asa Butterfield?

Design of the Week: Agent Carter

The name's Carter...Peggy Carter.

We're celebrating the renewing of Agent Carter for a much-deserved second season with our newest design...a re-imagining of the famous James Bond opening, featuring one of our favorite ladies of Marvel!

New Ant-Man poster ahoy

Now that Age of Ultron is blowing up box offices around the world, Marvel has moved onto pushing their next summer flick: Ant-Man.

The team at MyGeekery has mixed feelings about our little friend (and by that I mean some of us are pumped while the others are already looking ahead to Civil Wars), but seeing this new poster, we can agree on at least one thing: that suit is sweet, and we're looking forward to seeing some wicked cosplays of it in the future.

Also, has anyone else noticed how Evangeline Lilly and Bryce Dallas Howard's respective characters in Ant-Man and Jurassic World kind of look like cousins? It's probably the hair.

Six Things Saturday: Marvel edition

Every Saturday, we help supplement your weekend with a quick roundup of geeky things that have recently caught our eye. WARNING: They might not always have a rhyme or reason (Death Star soap? Do we need a reason?). 

The internet is a big, crazy place. Here are just a few of its gems.

'Marvel's Daredevil' is getting a second season!

Just over a week after premiering on Netflix, Marvel's Daredevil has been renewed for a second season. I can't say we're surprised - not after all the great reviews we've read from longtime fans, new converts, and critics alike!

Marvel.com had the following to say about the minds behind season two, which we'll be given sometime in 2016:

With the first season of "Marvel's Daredevil" proving a smash success with both audiences and critics, Netflix and Marvel will continue to create further adventures of the Man Without Fear! Doug Petrie ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "American Horror Story") and Marco Ramirez ("Sons of Anarchy"), who worked closely with Executive Producers Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard during the first season, will serve as showrunners for Season 2. Petrie, Ramirez, Goddard ("Cabin in the Woods"), and Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") will serve as Executive Producers of Season 2. 

Are you excited yet??

We're getting ready to start a weekly recap of episodes from season one, so if you haven't taken the plunge and binge-watched it yet, be sure to join us for the ride-along.

New movie trailer roundup

We don't have a ton this week, but what we do have by way of new to nearly-new trailers (and clips) are all whoppers we've been waiting for for a while.

Our team has mixed reactions to Ant-Man and its new trailer. We're excited, but tentatively. Marvel doesn't mess much up, but we're still really going to need to be sold on the "coolness" factor of shrinking down and fighting on a toy train. We have faith, though.

From scanning the YouTube comments - which is always a treat of culture - it seems like folks are pretty miffed/bummed or just WHY-ing over the plot twist reveal. But I fall more into the category of being pleased. The first trailer just didn't hook me; this one did.

And lastly...you're going to be seeing more and more on the Avengers front these next two weeks. That's not a bad thing, right? What did you guys think of the Hulkbuster clip from last night's MTV awards?

The Avengers countdown begins.

With just 38 days to go until Avengers: Age of Ultron hits the US, we at MyGeekery have been tossing our theories (some rooted in the comics, some simply the product of hopes and dreams and way too much investment of the characters of the MCU) back and forth with more and more slightly-crazed enthusiasm. It says something about Marvel (and the genius of Joss Whedon), that after a half-dozen TV spots and trailers and Odin knows how many veiled hints from AoU's cast and crew, a couple spoiler-sniffers like us still can't be 100% positive what's headed our way...
