Marvel Studios has completed their “Phase One” of films, and they’re most out there movie was Thor, which dealt with other worlds and gods. It ventured the furthest from realism, but do we really want realism in our comic book films? Well, aside from Nolan’s efforts with The Dark Knight trilogy. Now Marvel is continuing to push towards fantasy with Guardians of Galaxy.
Marvel is gearing up for Iron Man 3 with a trailer that dropped during the Super Bowl. There’s additional footage, which includes another glimpse at Ben Kingsley’s the Mandarin.
Empire released a dashing photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Seriously. Just look at that man. Dashing. There’s also the claws, which look good this time around, unlike in X-Men Origins: Wolverine — which we won’t speak of anymore.
Fox’s Marvel consultant Mark Millar revealed some information on Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. In the last X-Men film — no, I don’t mean the surprisingly good First Class — we were teased with sentinels, which were prominent in the comics and the cartoons. In the new movie, we will finally see proper sentinels, and many. Which shouldn’t come as too much a surprise since they’re used heavily in the comic book story arc.
Every teaser, trailer, and photo has shown Tony Stark going through hell in Iron Man 3. The new poster shows an even more distraught and battle-worn Iron Man hurtling back down to earth. Double meanings maybe? He’s physically brought down and knocked off his pedestal. Poor Tony Stark — wait, I hope they didn’t attack his bank account too.
Iron Man 3 takes over theaters May 3.
After all the love Henry Cavill’s Superman has been getting, we finally get an official photo of Amy Adams as Lois Lane. And like any modern journalist, she is brandishing a tablet — an iPad to be exact. Not to mention she has an attentive look that suits the character perfectly.
This month’s issue of Empire features Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel. The costume is very different than other incarnations in film, but still retains the classic feel. And the photo is much better than the released poster, which was simply a screen grab from the trailer.
Joss Whedon’s television show S.H.I.E.L.D. is well underway with production, and the inclusion of Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson makes fans excited. Not only is the series set in the same universe as the films, they will even share an actor — something that is rarely done. And Marvel intends to do more than just that.
