Avengers Cast "Confirmed," Iron Man 2 to Intro New Avenger

According to Den of Geek, Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier has been letting all the beans spill from Marvel’s bag of tricks concerning the cast of the Avengers movie, as well as the current state of Iron Man 2. Is the Frenchman giving us fact, or just more fiction? I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Title Logos For Upcoming Marvel Movies

Title Logos For Upcoming Marvel Movies

Courtesy of MTV come the logos for the next four superhero movies coming from Marvel Studios. On the left you can see the spiffy graphics for Iron Man 2 (or should I say Iron Man II?) and Thor in 2010, Captain America in 2011 and… The Avengers.

This is as high res a version of the poster as is out there at the moment.

Conspicuous by it’s absence is any mention of Hulk 2. I guess they weren’t feeling confident about how it would do at the box office… we’ll have to see what happens over the next couple of weeks. Also interesting is seeing Thor up there for a 2010 release (which is supposed to be a couple of months after the Iron Man sequel). I say interesting because Jon Favreau thinks there’s not enough time to get Shellhead out the door by early Summer 2010. I don’t know if the script is done for Thor, but with Matthew Vaughn having dropped out there’s still no director picked to helm the Norse god epic.

On the other hand, while Justice League has been tossed about like a rowboat in stormy seas, I have no doubt that The Avengers will make it to the big screen. Marvel has planting the seeds for it in both Iron Man AND The Incredible Hulk and I have no doubt we’ll see hints of it in Thor as well.

Captain America: You Won’t Believe Who Marvel Wants

Captain America: You Won't Believe Who Marvel Wants

The rumor mill is churning out word that Marvel Studios has begun eying a few pretty-boy stars to play the star-spangled Avenger in the forthcoming Captain America movie. Early reports are that mega-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are early favorites for the role–though again, not one iota of this has been confirmed by Marvel. We’re still at the “trusted source of a trusted source” stage, people.

However, while we’re churning this particular mill: the same trusted sources of trusted sources from inside the house that Stan Lee built are saying that Marvel is eager to get into the Brad Pitt business - be it playing Captain America, or Norse-god Thor (another franchise Marvel is said to be breathing cinematic life into.) I can see Brad tackling either role, really, (they’re going to need someone with chops to pull Thor off.) However, Leo as Cap? I mean… do we start the short jokes now, or is it still too soon?

More Details On Upcoming Marvel Superhero Movies

Over at CHUD.com there’s a report that details the upcoming slate of superhero movies coming from Marvel Studios on the heels of the spectacular performance of Iron Man so far.

They had a chance to sit down with Kevin Feige, the head of the fledgling studio and hounded him for answers about upcoming movies.

Included in the interview were details about the upcoming Captain America movie, the Avengers movie (which seems a heck of a lot more likely to happen than the stillborn Justice League film), Thor and Iron Man 2.

Marvel Superhero Movies Through 2011!

After the huge opening weekend of Iron Man, nobody should be surprised to hear a Shellhead sequel has been greenlit for a summer 2010 release - April 30, 2010 to be exact.

No, ladies and germs, the surprise is that Marvel Films has come outright and announced their entire slate of projects from now to 2011.

Will Captain America’s Return Desecrate The Character?

Will Captain America's Return Desecrate The Character?

A whopping nine months after the killing off Captain America, Marvel Comics is resurrecting the character, sort of, in issue #34.

It seems that Steve Rogers, the iconic character who still believed in America and mom’s apple pie is far too antiquated for these modern times (that are such a vast improvement, don’t you think?).

Not only will there be a new person wearing the (previously) red, white and blue costume, the costume will be new as well. Much of it will be black and the upper part appears to be some sort of metallic/chrome material. The new look was designed by artist Alex Ross, well known for bringing a sense of realism to superhero art.

Op-Ed: Cast Colin Ferguson as Captain America!

Op-Ed: Cast Colin Ferguson as Captain America!

After watching Eureka for two years now, I recently had the thought that Colin Ferguson (Sheriff Carter) should star in the planned Captain America movie as ol’ Cap himself.

Ferguson has an all-American look, he’s a great actor, has a strong voice and is someone who commands every scene he’s in.

What I also love about Ferguson as an actor is his ability to show a serious side as well as a humorous side (sometimes in the same scene), which is a must on a show like Eureka.

Ton 'O Marvel Superhero Movies On The Way

Holy cow, Marvel is planning on releasing a TON of superhero movies. Will they all be great? Not likely… I’m sure they’ll have some Ghost Riders in there, but on the other hand they may strike gold with some depending on who is writing and directing.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s in the pipeline beyond what’s already currently in production: Wolverine, Magneto, Punisher 2, Silver Surfer, Sub-Mariner, Thor, Avengers (maybe) and Captain America. Whew!
