My thoughts and stuff…
The moment is finally here. After being teased with reports of the costume saying it was “straight up medieval future tech,” we now have gotten a look as to what Thor’s costume will look like in the film. And it is pretty shocking how faithful his costume is to the comics. This is one hell of a way to up the ante, and grab some major fan interest.

Many people may remember getting a sour taste (like a Warhead candy) from the GHOST RIDER movie. Although the film was generally disliked, it did go on to earn $230 million worldwide making a sequel very likely. Although we’ve been hearing rumblings about a GHOST RIDER sequel for a while, the updates we’re getting now are that Nicholas Cage, most likely will not be back for the sequel.

When the reboot of the SPIDER-MAN film franchise was first announced, many fans were extremely worried that Sony would mess it up. But, there was also another type of fan who reacted positively to this news– one that was excited about Spidey’s return to high school because it sounded a lot like one of Marvel’s flagship comic series, Ultimate Spider-Man.
Ultimate Spider-Man is a modernized reboot that was launched in 2000 as a way to connect the character with a younger fan base. It was a big risk that ended up being a huge success for Marvel and has over 130 issues, a video game adaptation, and now a cartoon series.

Now that Cap has been cast, the role of Peggy Carter in FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA is getting all the attention. The other day, the big news was that Emily Blunt was offered the role but declined. Although Blunt doesn’t want it, there are plenty of young actresses out there that do. Two of them are currently screen-testing for a second time, which means we’ll probably have our leading lady soon enough. Continue reading “Alice Eve top choice for CAPTAIN AMERICA female lead”
THOR is next year’s big Marvel summer movie, and I know it has one of the biggest curiosity factors of any comic book film ever. Almost nothing is known about the actual production of the film, however; we just know the cast and a couple of plot details. Luckily, director Kenneth Branagh has opened up about the film to the LA Times.

I know, I know. What a day for news like this to come out, it’s an awful shame. Finding articles to write about today is really difficult with all the fake stories out there and it wouldn’t be surprising for THE AVENGERS to be the target of April Fool’s jokes. But IESB is claiming that Joss Whedon is on the short list to direct Marvel’s THE AVENGERS, and assuring that this news is not a joke. Continue reading “Joss Whedon on short list to direct THE AVENGERS?”
The announcement of Chris Evans as CAPTAIN AMERICA is one that was met with very little contention, and many fans were very pleased with the choice. Of course, everyone still has their worries. One of the biggest fears about the CAP movie is that they will change the costume up too much. The film’s director Joe Johnston responded to these claims, but the fear still remains. Reports that THOR’s costume would be spot on to the comic do aid many doubts.
Lucky for us, Film School Rejects got some Fan Made FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA posters that give you a taste as to what Evans in the costume would be like. You can check it after the jump! Continue reading “Chris Evans in fan-made CAPTAIN AMERICA posters”

There’s really no telling how close we are to an announcement on who will be directing THE AVENGERS. Cries by fanboys everywhere (myself included) were pleading for Jon Favreau to take the job, but he announced he will only be executive producer. After that, talk of directors dispelled mostly, until now. While speaking to Ain’t It Cool, THE INCREDIBLE HULK director Louis Leterrier said he might be on board.

Ever since FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA was announced, fans (including myself) have been extremely worried about what sort of costume he would have. I have explained the importance of Cap’s costume, and how detrimental it would be to change it too much. The LA Times recently spoke to director Joe Johnston about his upcoming film THE WOLFMAN, and got him to reveal quite a bit about FIRST AVENGER, including costume details.
