nice

sweet on the new X-men seires. wow, can't wait.

Marvel Movie General Update:

No pics, links, or vids; just what I know in the realm of Marvel Movies so far along with some commentary on DC's lazy asses.

Iron-Man kicked all manner of ass in the weeks since it debuted on the big screen. Talk of Iron-Man 2 is already a-buzz, with a set date already laid out by Marvel Studios (April 30th 2010)! The director of the first is expected to return for the second, with most of the highly well recieved cast also coming back. Early story reports all point to the debut of War Machine, and more tie-ins to the Marvel Movie-verse and the long awaited Avengers project.

The Hulk is out now so go see it for a rather contrasting take on the Hulk after Ang Lee's film. Spoiler: The final shot leaves Banner in a rather vague moral standing that will make his involvment in the rest of the Movie-verse rather interesting. Could the Animated Ultimate Avengers story be closer to the live action than imagined, with Hulk being one of the issue the super-team will have to contend with? An exciting premise as the Avengers nears with its 2011 release.

Thor will be the wild card in the current Movie-verse of things. While Marvel studios is pushing a one universe deal, its fairly easy to imagine the Hulk in Iron-Man's world. But with all the talk of Thor taking place in Asgard, with a highly visual concept similar to 300, where would he fit in with the movie-verse. That would be an interesting task, but I'm all for Brad Pitt as Thor. His charisma in the face of other big names would make an interesting dynamic once everyone buddies up.

Wolverine is still filming, infact a scene where Logan and Creed (Sabretooth) lead soldiers on the D-Day landing(!) was filmed not long ago. It doesn't seem like there's much effort to combine Wolverine with the forming Marvel Movie-verse, as he is essentially coming off the Singer-verse of X-Men movies. It would solve a number of continuity issues if a name drop were to be added here and there, integrating (atleast) Logan into the Movie-verse. His solo film itself promises some big Marvel names that could benefit from a little rub off in 'the big picture'. I'd cream my pants for a shot of Captain America in the background of that D-Day scene, even in a vague shadow.

Speaking of Steve Rogers, it seems his movie will precede the Avengers project rather obviously, with the film's title being "Captain America: The First Avenger". Not too hot on the casting choice that's been floating around, but it isn't final so we'll see. His casting is important, as it was once believed for Brandon Routh in JLA, he'd be a main player in the Avengers movie.

And on that DC note... what the Hell? Ever since Marvel went studio and took more hold of their characters they've been on the grind. DC only ever works with one studio (WB), so technically they should've been on that level of exposure lone ago (on the animated side they have been however). We got The Dark Knight coming and... what... Watchmen? That's just barely DC, however cool the story is by itself. Where's Super Max? Where's Teen Titans? Get to work!

Don't forget The Spirit.

I think Wolverine is still a FOX property and not tied-in with the new Marvel Studios venture.

Ah yes. And the same with Spidey and Sony, I guess. Shame really, Hugh's Logan would have nice dialogue with the likes of Downey/Stark or Norton/Banner. And Tobey's interaction with the reformed New Goblin was fun.

The idea of a Captain America hint in the Wolverine movie during D-Day would be the sweetest thing in all movie history. Fucking awesome! Even if it's just a mention or something... "Steve Roger and his men will go in first".... a quote like that or summit would be amazing.

Spidey 4 in May 2011:

Spidey is expected to take the ultimate spin again by May 2011. Captain America is also set fot that month and year. The director and cast of the first three movies aren't signed on as of yet.

Ah man... 2011, that's three years away. :(

Plenty of stuff in between.

Yeah... but still... :(

Dunno if this thread is still alive, but oh well...

I watched Incredible Hulk (amazing film!) and then went on IMDB to read trivia's etc. Someone on the message board commented on a possible hint at Thor in this movie. Highlight black area to read Spoilers (for any Spoiler bitches out there).

When Hulk and Betty are by the cliff side and the lightning storm goes off. The scene plays itself as kinda random, and could be a hint towards Thor, especially with Marvel films starting to cross over. This is really just a random little guess, but the scene itself did seem a bit odd, especially considering that the scene before was a hot sunny day.

It would be cool if they referenced that in the Thor movie. "I saw some strange green beast" or summit.

King has spoken.

I hear the Thor movie is going to take place entirely in Asgard.

You must have read Post #203.

Yeah the movie may be set there most of the time, with static effects similar to 300 or Sin City.

Faaaaantastic!

Yeah totally, that's what I mean.

It was probably just chucked in randomly, but if they used it in the Thor movie... :drool:

I had that idea in my had untill I went and watched Hulk again today. But then I realized something.....

Spoilers of course in Black----

When the scene where Betty and Banner are at the school starts the second the shot opens you can see a thunderstorm in the background. As the scene goes on you see the dark clouds moving in and as the fight between Hulk and Blonsky breaks out you can see the clouds above. Then after the Copter cene it begins to rain which leads to the whole cliff scene and the scene with the General at the ex boyfriends house. I would have liked for it to be a think leading toward Thor but it just looks like it was just a normal storm that made its way over during the scene.

End of spoilers

Black Panther TV Series:

An animated series based on the Black Panther is being developed for... here it comes... BET. Yes that BET.

A punchline in the making.

Wolverine vs Hulk Animated Movie:

http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/ar...3112655964.jpg

It'll be discuss at CC (they'll have alot to answer for). And peep that throwback mask on Logan.

Why is that a throwback mask? Looks like his normal mask.

Let's Go, Bub:

Hugh Jackman appeared at CC today and presented some footage of the Wolverine move, which he says just finished wrapping. The footage will be a hot find on the net, as it has the first looks of alot of the characters - including Gambit.

Comic-Con is still going on now.

Red Sonya Poster:

http://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/imag...5004523112.jpg

Red Sonya recently tussled with Spider-Man so the news goes here. Rose McGowen is the only cast member revealed so far.

Hulk VS Wolverine movie looks cool. I assume this is another animated movie ala Ulitmate Avengers, Iron Man and Dr. Strange? I've enjoyed these and hope they keep making more.

Red Sonja WTF?! Never really been interested in the character, and the old 1980's movie was shit. But I guess it's a comic film so I'll get it anyway.

Rose Mcgowen in skimpy clothing is all the reason I need.

Hulk Vs:

Well look at that; Hulk vs Wolverine is actually one half of a DVD series that puts Hulk against... someone. The other movie puts Hulk against Thor. Marvel is definately on the grind.

poor hulk... hes so misunderstood

Iron Man Cartoon Series Coming:

http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/arti...6061939722.jpg

Iron Man will get his own cartoon series on TV, but unlike his previous 90's series - this Tony Stark is a teenage superhero.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

But get this; those who viewed the first two episodes say its appearently kinda badass, thanks to well directed action scenes and strong sense of drama (well stronger than the usual kids programming I hope). Rhody will be there, as well as Pepper. And the Mandarin too, looking like a samurai/knight/evil kind of thing.

Wolverine: Orgigins trailer from Comic-Con (leaked cam footage, if you can't read the url):

Looks kinda lame

You're crazy; that shit looks hot. Gambit FTW.

Hulk VS Thor looks kinda cool. As I said above the animated movies are fun, so this should be good.

Iron Man cartoon... a teenager? I'm a bit unsure, but I suppose I'll wait to see it until I pass judgement.

I disagree, it's looking pretty good. Not sure about creed, but then in the films i guess the performance of the character is more important than the look....really.

It's not looking too shabby at all. Going to be a long, long wait until May. :(

And personally I'd much rather take a good actor playing Sabretooth rather than the way he was portrayed in the first X-Men film. :y:

kalyx ur slackin

I'm not even reggin, dude. I'll be back, with more news people are too lazy to look up themselves. In the meantime, The Iron-Man DVD sounds like its gonna be loaded.

So I was looking on Play.com at the Hulk and Iron Man DVDs. Is the Steel Book version got the normal DVD inside it? Coz I'd like to put it on my DVD shelf without a great big massive steel book around it.

I don't know.
