Marvel Universe Thread
Iron Man:
I know this has it's own thread, but I plan on updating these two topics indefinitely as comic movies appear to be more of a stable in the film industry. Eventually I'll simply make a Comic Movie News Thread but I'm a freak about organization. Anyway, Iron Man as finished filming a little while ago which gives them close to a year of post-production. They closed filming in Vegas; though this isn't a hint to the film's story (= the ending may not be set in Vegas). Terrance Howard will play James Rhodes in case some of you didn't know. Rhodes is the civilian identity of War Machine, though you can bet he'll figure in the sequel with a cliff-hanger introduction at the end of this film. Iron-Man cast: Terrance Howard-James Rhodes/War Machine, Gwyneth Paltrow-Virginia "Pepper" Potts, Robert Downey Jr.-Tony Stark/Iron Man, Shaun Toub-Yin Sen (he is NOT The Mandarin) Spidey 4: I suppose Spidey 3's financial success is attributed to Venom's inclusion and they'll add more recent villains as a result. If this is true, and I love the series so far, this will be the beginning of Spider-Man's spiral into the Batman and Robin effect, increasing an aspect of the last film not knowing it worked in a shot-in-the-dark sense. Sam Raimi also expressed ideas of using The Vulture or Electro (more classic villains). I doubt he'll actually have anything to do with Spidey 4. JK Simmons, Bryce Howard, and Dylan Baker (Conners/The Lizard) will return with new leads for Peter Parker and Mary Jane, I'm thinking. More to come. |
Rhodes could simply get his own spinoff.

Something about War Machine I liked better than Iron Man, he seems so ready to battle.
|
Negores like to fight.
|
Was there not supposed to be an Iron Fist movie? What happened there?
|
Robert Downey Jr looks a bit like a yuppie Jack Sparrow there. :$
|
You're right.
|
RUM...BUY RUM
|
Ray Park was pegged to be the Immortal Iron Fist, but after his casting was announced (a good 4 years ago) nothing else was heard.

The Vulture. Yea, that'll go over well in movies. Dude wasnt even halfway decent in the fuckin comics. Raimi needs to read more books on Spidey other than the Sinister Six saga.

Why not?

That's a piss=poor reason

Luke Cage:
They're still doing it. Tyrese is still the top man to star even though he ain't sign a bloody thing. John Singleton's set to direct. |
How about Iron Fist? Anything on that?
|
I afraid to say it may have fallen into development Hell.
|
Sucks. He was one of those niche heroes I dug.

Don't forget the addition of Sam Jackson as Nic Fury in Iron Man.
|
im all for black actors so dont get me wrong but why is Nick Fury being played by sam jackson and why was the green mile guy the kingpin?
|
Sam Jackson is playing Fury because in the "Ultimates" universe... Sam Jackson literally is Nick Fury. Marvel is paying him for his likeness...

oh... my bad ... i never followed the ultimates in terms of the xmen that much... just spiderman.
|
So was that the same deal with the kingpin then?
|
No, Kingpin they just figured that people would be more scared of a large black man than a fat white guy. Or so my theory goes.

Things been quiet on the Marvel side of things, but straight from the 'Con...
Silver Surfer: His spin-off film will pick up where FF2 left off, and explain things only hinted at in the movie. We'll see his origin, as well as what he's doing currently. There seems to be hint that a better (or atleast alternate) presentation of Galactus will be in the movie. The few Surfer comics out display pretty wild visuals of the galaxy; how much is this movie gonna cost, I wonder... Iron Man: Jon Favreau came to Comic Con with 4mins of footage from Iron Man. Details of the footage had some scenes of Stark building variations of his suit, and ended with Iron Man facing off against 2 F-14s in the sky. Aside from that shot, says the director, most of the action will be practical effects. Stan Winston's studio will be handling the practical stuff, you know... the Terminator guys? Should be interesting. |
Spectacular Spider-Man:
Its gonna be a cool cartoon. |
Thor:
Matthew Vaughn may or may not direct. He's the one who was gonna take over X3 from Bryan Singer way back when. He did Stardust and some other stuff. Punisher 2: The second Punisher moves ahead with a new lead (Ray Stevenson) and a direction toward a grittier story. Frank castle faces comic villain Jigsaw in this one. I don't see what was wrong with Thomas jane's work but whatever. |
Thomas Jane quit
|
so is there not going to be a xmen 4 with the last one called the last stand?
|
You have seen the ending to X3? There's enough characters and tales from the books to warrent 10 more movies.

They mentioned that they would try to get the older people in their doing small cameos but that would be it. That was the last that I heard about it and that was right after the 3rd hit theaters. Its probably changed by now. |
they'll be a fourth just for the reason that it will make money
|
isnt there a movie just about wolverine in the works as well?
|
Wolverine and Magneto both have spin-offs in the works. SO it is likely we will not see X4 for a good 5 years. Maybe 10.
