Marvel and Joss Whedon have been hard at work on bringing S.H.I.E.L.D. to television. Whedon is spearheading the show and writing the pilot with his brother, Jed, and Maurissa Tancharoen; who have all worked together on Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.
Jamie Foxx spoke a little more in detail about playing Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in recent interviews. In particular, he gave answers on his character arc and whether the film version of Electro will wear the comic book costume or not.
Production for Marvel’s Iron Man 3 was underway earlier this week in China. To publicize the moment, a photo was taken of Iron Man and actor Wang Xueqi, who plays Dr. Wu in the movie. It’s a bit odd seeing the armor that took a beating from Thor and the Helicarrier, since Tony Stark is all about constant progression. But who knows? Aside from anyone involved in the film, of course.
The much anticipated trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel hit the public eye today. And speaking of “eye”, the film is looking visually stunning, which is a given with Snyder directing. The trailer makes it clear that it’s taking Superman in a different direction than the prior films, but keeps the inspiring awe that captures Superman so well.
I’m more of a Batman fan, but I must admit — and it pains me to say it — I’m very much looking forward to Man of Steel.

In every classic Spider-Man story, Uncle Ben dies and becomes the catalyst for Peter Parker’s journey towards heroism. With The Amazing Spider-Manit was easy to assume that actor Martin Sheen fulfilled his role as Uncle Ben. Surprisingly — or not so surprisingly — that isn’t the case.

There’s more on the casting front from the sequel of The Amazing Spider-Man. Joining Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone is Dane DeHaan, who will portray Peter Parker’s best friend, Harry Osborn. DeHaan is best known for his role as Andrew in the surprisingly good movie, Chronicle.
A new poster from Man of Steel made rounds on Facebook today, and interestingly enough, it displays Superman restrained and led by guards. It’s more than likely that he turned himself in after some tragedy — unless, of course, a healthy dose of Kryptonite was involved to bring him in. Nevertheless, it doesn’t convey the usual hopeful Superman that we’re more accustomed to.
Or maybe Superman was finally arrested for stalking Lois Lane in Superman Returns.
Man of Steel swoops into theaters June 14, 2013.
With director Bryan Singer, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen returning to the X-Men, it comes as no surprise that rumors are now spreading that Hugh Jackman is in talks to make an appearance in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
