Marvel’s “Phase 2” is well underway, with Iron Man 3 leading the charge, and Guardians of the Galaxy as the newcomers on the big screen. Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, said they’re already planning out “Phase 3”, which will bring more comic book characters on the big screen.
Marvel is gearing up for another marketing push for Iron Man 3, starring the one and only Robert Stark Jr. — I mean, Robert Downey Jr. A few promo art pieces are circulating online to drum up excitement. A couple show the new War Machine armor — and no, I don’t mean the Iron Patriot version. In another promo piece, we’re treated to a few armors in the background that look dramatically different than what we’re accustomed to. It’s safe to assume they’re villainous suits.
Joss Whedon’s new television show S.H.I.E.L.D. sparked a couple debates on when it takes place. Naturally, it was thought that it’s after the events in The Avengers, but the inclusion of Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson made some think otherwise.
Director Robert Rodriguez took Frank Miller’s graphic novel Sin City and made a heavily stylized comic book movie with a memorable cast. It wasn’t farfetched that he and the fans would want a sequel. The only problem was that it took years for the ball to get rolling. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is currently filming, and the latest actor to join is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Filming for Thor: The Dark World is well underway with Game of Thrones very own Alan Taylor taking over directing duties; which of course means there’s changes for Thor’s second outing. Jaimie Alexander, who plays Sif, sat down with to discuss the new film and Sif’s relationship with the god of thunder.
My interest in Zack Snyder’s take on Superman continues to grow. The released trailer showed a Superman we aren’t accustomed to on film. Yes, there’s a sense of hope, but it’s clear that it’s a struggle to get there.
You would think that after Tony Stark drove off into the sunset with his new best-friend-forever Bruce Banner in The Avengers, that he’d have a cushy life for at least a year or something or another. Based on the trailer and nearly all the production stills we’ve seen so far, it isn’t the case at all. It looks more like Stark is going through complete hell. It’s a given when he’s an arrogant hero, who made friends with a guy whose bad temper flattens cities. But as Robert Downey Jr. said: Stark had Banner promptly deported.
Not long ago there was a rumor circulating that Hugh Jackman would play Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. It didn’t take very long to become fact. Today, Jackman took to Twitter to reveal that he’s doing more than just a quick cameo like he had in First Class.
