More movie news from San Diego Comic Con has swept the nation. Joss Whedon took the stage and announced that Hank Pym a.k.a Ant-Man/Giant Man will not be featured in the film Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. Does anyone else find this a little interesting considering Pym is the one who created the robot Ultron? I hope this isn’t the start of story line deviations.  

Warner Brothers has announced a Batman/Superman crossover film at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. This is clearly a product of attempting to expand the universes, in which Marvel is the leading competitor. There has been a list compiled of all of the planned upcoming films. Henry Cavill will be reprising his role, but as to who will be playing Batman is up in the air considering Bale has thrown in the towel on the franchise.  

With all the excitement surrounding upcoming Guardian Of The Galaxy movie, Marvel seems to be getting the ground work layed out early with an animated version of the team on an upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man episode…  

Mary Jane Watson is no longer part of Amazing Spider-Man 2. Shailene Woodley was cast in the role and filmed multiple scenes for Sony’s superhero sequel, but has since been booted. Director Marc Webb explained “to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship,” that it would require MJ not the be there. According to a new interview, Woodley is more than satisfied by that concept.

This film has been highly anticipated all year to be one of, if not the best blockbuster of the summer. I remember sitting in Legendary’s panel at NYCC last year watching the trailer for this film and being instantly inflicted with excitement. When I sat in the theater this past weekend that excitement came to perdition and I sat in awe at the glory that Guillermo Del Toro has created.  

It should come as no surprise that when speaking about Bloivar Trask being involved in Days of Future Past that only one small ball of amazing should surface as the role. This actor is indeed Peter Dinklage. When this came to pass no one was surprised, however the second villain for the film has been announced and it comes in the form of the Vulture and is being played by Josh Helman.

Skip Williamson (producer, Underworld, Crank) and Mark Neveldine (director, Crank, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) will produce the feature along with Casey, Man of Action. Slipknot manager Cory Brennan exec produces.
