Currently Browsing: "Marvel Studios"

It has become clear that while Marvel is running on high lately, fresh off the success of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, DC seems to be clinging to Batman, holding on for dear life.

This past Wednesday, Marvel Studios’ cinematic adaptation of the classic comic book hero Iron Man officially became the first film of 2008 to hit, and then to surpass, the $300 million-dollar mark at the box office.

This is the spring of comic book heroes, not only as stars of their own movies but in cameo appearances.

From the set of his new acting gig, a supporting player on I Love You, Man, Jon Favreau talks about the future of Iron Man, his role, and what summer movies he is looking forward to.

I am beginning to think that Astronaut Garrett Reisman, who is currently orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station, is the coolest astronaut since that guy who stepped on the ole’ Moon, at least in terms of Geek-cred.

The word around the interwebs is that Marvel Studios is set to adapt yet another one of their properties. With films adaptations such as Captain America, The Avengers, Thor and Iron Man 2 already having dates, Marvel plans for one more.

The feeding frenzy of rumors and speculation around the upcoming slate of Marvel Studios continues, this time with a casting rumor for Thor and a possible Iron Man/Captain America tie-in.

Marvel’s had a huge week between the massive and excellent Iron Man opening and the announcement of their movie slate through 2011… so now it’s time to start talking Iron Man 2 rumors!

I have heard some doozies in my day, but this one might just take the cake. Our friends over at Cinema Blend have it on high that Matthew McConaughey, king of bedding hot babes, not bathing and surviving with little to no acting talent, may be on the top of Marvel’s short-list of candidates to step into the role of Captain America.

As expected, Marvel came flying out of Iron Man’s $100 million dollar weekend with a high energy, optimistic outlook on their upcoming film slate.

Empire gets quick updates from the directors of the next two Marvel flicks…

Our friends on the ground at WonderCon have found an awesome new Iron Man poster.

Dear Marvel, please keep Sam Raimi away from this movie…

Prepare to be healed by the great and powerful Tony Stark…

Is it just me, or is next summer’s The Incredible Hulk getting lost in the mix?

You read that right. The rumor-mill is buzzing about a potential cross-over between Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in 2008.

A brand new International trailer has risen this morning for Jon Favreau’s highly anticipated Iron Man flick.

Greg Berlanti has signed on to direct the upcoming Green Lantern movie. He’s going to be taking on scripting duties as well, along with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green.

I was lucky enough to work on set for a day, but my story is hardly worth an interview. Fortunately, our dear friends over at Advanced Iron knew this and chose to interview Iron Man director Jon Favreau instead. In an incredible look into the mind of the talent bringing Tony Stark and company to life.
