Welcome to HeroBlend #19! Eric and Adrienne have a great show for you this week, and that includes having a special guest joining in on the superhero conversation in the form of Moviebill Senior Editor Silas Lesnick. This week, we're going to talk about the top Marvel and DC heroes who really deserve to be seen on the big screen, and in live action! But, first, we'll get into some pressing news topics, including a possible start date for The Flash, Chris Hemsworth's honest thoughts on Thor: The Dark World, something super dark that was almost done with Thanos in Infinity War, and an intriguing theory on Spider-Man: Far From Home's newly revealed logo.
Next, we'll move into our new segment, Five Minutes Under the Gunn, where we keep you up to date on the recent developments regarding James Gunn. This week, we'll talk more about Dave Bautista's support, Vincent D'Onofrio's (who plays Kingpin on Daredevil) response to Gunn's firing, and an update on the top secret James Gunn horror project that's coming out soon. Then, prepare yourselves for a great discussion about the coolest Marvel and DC characters that Eric and Silas would love to see on the big screen, and in live action, no less. Some of these characters are pretty well-known, while others are oddball choices that should make for some cool cinematic stories few could expect.
