The casting for the soon to be shooting Captain America film continues. And as director Joe Johnston and overseer extraordinaire Joss Whedon finalize the story and get Chris Evans ready to wear the costume and carry the Shield, we’re learning more about who might be going with him on said journey.

When are you people going to learn? And by “you people,” I of course have no idea who I’m talking to here. We all know that rumors about The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner playing Clint Barton, also known as Hawkeye, in the Joss Whedon directed team-up film The Avengers.

Yesterday we saw the first images of Captain America’s costume. Late last night, we got our first look at the full gear of Marvel’s other upcoming superhero Thor. Are you really excited yet?

Earlier today, I wrote a nice long article with gratuitous quoting of an article over at JoBlo detailing the new look that Chris Evans will be sporting when he suits up as Captain America in the upcoming Marvel Studios film, Captain America: The First Avenger. That was a complete waste of time.

In the world of superhero adaptations, costumes matter. Remember that first image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor and how much time was spent mulling over every little detail presented in a shot of half of his torso? Comic book fans are serious about costumes.

For those on this side of the pond who have not seen the British superhero series No Heroics, you should check it out. For two reasons. One is that it’s very funny. The second being that Marvel just handed the keys to its adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s The Runaways over to its creator, Drew Pearce.

In late November, early December of last year, a rumor began circulating around the web about The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner and his potential involvement in Marvel’s The Avengers, the enormous superhero conglomerate film that will drop in the year 2012. Now, that rumor is back.

This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr welcomes the summer movie season by handing out a grade to Iron Man 2.

The Rejects put their considerable nerd knowledge to the test in breaking down the secrets of Iron Man 2 gleaned from repeated viewings. What did we find? Oh nothing really, just a map of the Marvel Universe.

Marvel Studios is in talks with Toby Jones (Infamous) to star as one of the secondary villains in the upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger (or whatever they are calling it these days).

The pressure was on. With the release of Iron Man in 2007, Marvel Studios and the universe created by director Jon Favreau turned the world of comic book movies upside down. With all eyes on the sequel, did they pull it off?

Throughout the week, Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have been slowly releasing little clips from their upcoming tentpole Iron Man 2. Most of them have been rather boring. Not this one, though.

Based on the track record of Joss Whedon in the world of television, film and other things that are visual and entertaining, it is likely that any project to which he becomes attached is going to go down in flames. It’s not a quality thing, of course. It’s a luck thing…

Any time a big geeky property begins to come to fruition — as is the case with the now casting Captain America movie — creative and resourceful fans will come out in force to support the cause with contributions of their own.

Three days ago, it was first reported that Fantastic Four star Chris Evans was offered the role of Steve Rogers in The First Avenger: Captain America for Marvel Studios and director Joe Johnston. Today, Heat Vision has confirmed that Evans has accepted the offer, and will be the world’s big screen Captain America.

The search for Captain America may be over. According to reports, Marvel Studios has offered the role to Fantastic Four star Chris Evans. And while you might think that we’d just report this and run, we do have a few things to say about it…

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have released the official plot synopsis for their upcoming film Thor, the big screen adaptation of the popular comic featuring that guy with the hammer. I know that this isn’t the most exciting bit of news in the world, but I’m sure there are some of you out there who will find this to be interesting.

A tipster over at CinemaSpy is saying today that Star Trek lead Chris Pine was on the shortlist of actors that Paramount and Marvel were looking at for the role of Steve Rogers in the upcoming Captain America film. This is wholly unsurprising news…

It seems like a foregone conclusion, but now we have official word. Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures will distribute Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 in IMAX theaters simultaneously with the film’s release on May 7, 2010.

The folks at Empire caught up with one actor who is not only in the hunt for Oscar gold, but also meeting with the folks at Marvel about a potentially great role.
