I'm Marking Out Right Now:
Robert Downey Jr. has officially signed on for Iron Man 2 and Avengers. Don Cheadle has also signed on for Iron Man 2... and Avengers! Jon Favreau, who directed Iron Man, is attached to Avengers as Exec Prod as well. Ed Norton, despite rumors that he was jipped after Hulk, will return as Bruce Banner. Many credible names have alluded to Hulk appearing in Avengers, though Ed Norton hasn't been spoken about in regard to the project curiously. They're beginning to Assemble indeed...

Captain's Got Direction!:
Joe Johnston has signed on to direct First Avenger: Captain America. He's currently putting the finishing touches on the Wolfman remake. "First Avenger" has the important task of leading into the Avengers movie. No pressure, Joe. |

Johnston is your typical on again, off again type of director. Let's see what he brings to this one.
And where's my Dr. Strange remake?! |

Thor Animated:
Thor gets an animated series to follow his live action film. A full season is in the works, and that's along with other Marvels cartoons coming around like Iron Man, Avengers, Black Panther to join the recent Wolverine and the X-Men. Busy beavers they are. |

Princes of the Universe and Show Must Go On might be the best Queen songs, and that's saying something.
Obv Bohemian Rhapsody too |

Hulk vs Wolverine Clip/Trailer:
Apparently this is actually kinda old, but it seems to confirm Steven Blum is at it again as Logan. That guy's overworked, but I dig the continuity. Could he be the Kevin Conroy of Wolverine? Anyway the movie looks decent, but I'd like to see how much they could stretch an encounter of two characters. |

Well, the fight itself could last days... maybe weeks. Considering that Hulk's anger makes him stronger and he heals with his rage, and Wolverine has the healing factor. |

I don't mind the casting. What bothers me is in what time frame does Gambit appear? If he's apart of Wolverine's 'distant' past than we can rule out Gambit appearing in proper X-Men films - atleast before a reboot.

What I don't get is that they said they wouldn't put Gambit in the X-Men films cos he was "too similar" to Wolverine then they put him in the stand alone Wolverine film!?

Singer was quoted to have said that he wasn't a fan of the Gambit charcter and that he thought he was too similar to Wolverine to put in the films.
Hence when they made X Men 3 after Singer left, they wanted to put Gambit in the film. However they wanted Sawyer from Lost to play him, but he didn't want to do it. So after that long winded explanation, Singer thought that they were both loners and hence too similar. |

yeah, one is older than dirt, overexposed to shit and back (to the point even the Marvel story-writers make fun of it), and is a violent feral madman who can't be killed under normal circumstances and is a loner.
The other is a smooth, almost arrogant, ladies man who attacks at range, has cool eyes, and is a rogue loner. yeah, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too similar. |

Precisely. You can bank on the fact that 99.9% of fans don't consider them too similar and would have wanted to see Gambit in the films.

Guess Marvel properties can't win them all these days - Punisher War Zone has been getting some absolutely awful reviews. Shame really, but I suppose it was inevitable when Thomas Jane jumped off.

Any movie involving the name "Punisher" has pretty much been viewed as utter suck.

The first punisher was a "crap movie", but it was actually enjoyable if you weren't expecting much.
No real interest in seeing the new one. The movie looks pretty fuckin awful, and the new Punisher looks the part, but seems like a terrible actor. At least Thomas Jane is a competent actor. I usually turn out to see the comic movies, even if I know they're going to suck. There's always some interest there for me since I grew up on the characters. With that being said, I had no real intention of going to see the new Punisher despite being fully aware of it coming out this weekend. I think that says something. If I don't give a fuck, who does? Probably nobody except for die hard comic book fans, if that. It made 4 million dollars on it's opening weekend. 4. That's beyond a flop. Especially for a name brand character with a built in fan base. That's really sad. That's the end of Punisher as any kind of film entity. |

Looks pretty lame. Have I given my theory on how I think The Dark Knight and Iron Man have killed the comic movie? They're so good, it's hard to stack up. The bar is raised. This can be a good thing, but it will be near impossible to measure up in the future.
This movie will be the first victim of that, since it was made in the same vain as earlier comic movies. |

Hm. I dunno. Looks like there's a lot of good stuff in there, but we'll have to wait and see what happens.
I'm not a huge fan of the way they are dressing and putting together Gambit, though. |
