Joss Whedon is standing for his Iron Man. Robert Downy Junior is in the middle of negotiations with his contract for Marvel’s The Avengers 2 and Marvel’s The Avengers 3, but it’s not clear whether he’ll return or if Marvel will recast Tony Stark. Please say it isn’t so. I couldn’t see Tony Stark as anyone else at this point.
Oh Thor, you beautiful specimen of Godly hammer wielding man. Thor; The Dark World will be released on November 8th to theaters everywhere. There is so much to expect from this film.

There will be Malekith the Accursed who will be played by the doctor himself, Chris Eccelston. So many many exciting things to look forward to.

It’s official, Glenn Close has signed on as another Hollywood name to the Guardians of the Galaxy film. She will be playing the head of Nova Corps. However, it was no easy climb to the top.

There are many stars still in contention and in talks of different roles.

Since the first wave of water colored poster art had been released for the newest installment of “The Wolverine” we have only seen vague and slightly distinguishable characters. In accordance with the new trailer release (which is awesome) we have also been given posters that are clearly defined as characters Yukio and Viper. The art is still pretty ambiguous, however follows in suit with the films genre and style and I think they work well. Not to mention a pretty awesome scene in the trailer of Jean Grey was revealed.
