While Iron Man is locking down its character actors, they still haven't got a cast lined up for **Thor ** . The best we have so far are the rumors of Alexander Skarsgård possibly playing Thor , and Josh Harnett playing his mischievous brother Lo

Baman & Piderman is a fantastic web series by Mondo, and I can't think of a single incarnation of Spider-Man that would be more incredible than if they managed to include this one. Pider-Man uses his web powers to lazily slop from destination to destination, and is best friends with Baman, a Pumpkin and a Tuba. If you haven't seen this web series, please do yourself a favor and do so now .

We previously reported in September 2011 that the license for the characters had reverted back to Marvel - hence, no more Sega - and that they were looking for publishing opportunities from other potential partners. With Jefferson hinting at incoming announcements, perhaps they found some

Next was the animation portion of the panel, where Loeb debuted some of the very first footage of **Ultimate Spider-Man ** (written by Paul Dini and the Man of Action team – Joe Casey, Joe Kelly – with additional help from Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley, and more). Some things of note about the foot

The last we heard Jon Favreau was possibly going to helm The Avengers movie . Only real update to report is that according to Kevin Feige, Captain America will be involved in the film from the very start - meaning we won't have to spend half the movie waiting for The Avengers to thaw him out of suspended animation. That's good news, in my opinion: I was worried The Avengers was going to go the "Cap appears at the end" route. That would've been a serious cop-

For years, on both Game Rant and Screen Rant, we've suffered through the awkward video game-film relationship. The sad reality, as we so often repeat, is that movies based on video games and video game movie tie-ins all suck, with the rare exception here and th

Kevin Feige dished that Thor will take place on both Earth and in otherworldly realms like Asgard, the mythical kingdom of the Norse gods. That claim by Feige backs up early rumors that Donald Blake, Thor 's human counterpart from the comics, would NOT be a part of the story. And contrary to what many (read: I) thought, according to Feige, director Kenneth Branagh is NOT going to use the kind of Shakespearean dialogue that was often used in Thor comics. Are thy kidd

Is it me, or does George Lucas manage to fit a plug into every soundbite he gives? Probably just me. Still, that's a good look for Jon Favreau. You can check out everything Favreau had to say about ducking out on Iron Man 2 to interview George Lucas by going h

Feige also confirmed that Captain America will be a WWII period-piece (as was long rumored), although a more fun and adventurous period-piece a la Raiders of The Lost Ark . Then came some big news: Cap's plucky sidekick Bucky will be included in the film "in some capacity." Should I feel good about that? Or should I be feeling a bit of "Jar-Jar" anxiety? I'm not yet sure wh

There is a lot of new info about the major Marvel superhero movies floating around the Web right now, and because we at Screen Rant believe in a lifestyle of convenience, we've pulled together all the bits and pieces into one cohesive Marvel Movie Upd

You should already know that Joe Johnston is directing . If you don't recognize the name, Johnston’s directing resume includes family adventure films such as Honey, I Shrunk The Kids and Jumanji ; inspirational films such as October Sky ; action/adventures like Hidalgo and even the upcoming creature-feature reboot, The Wolf Man . According to Feige, that kind of variety is what makes Johnston perfect to helm the kind of all-around adventure film Marvel wants for Captain Ameri

Also on ABC Family will be Mockingbird , a story about Bobbi Morse – Hawkeye eventually married her in the comics – a freshmen in college (perhaps Stanford in California) who gets contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and becomes a secret agent. Basically, the thrust of the show is, "College student by day, secret agent by night," and according to Jeph Loeb, it’ll be like J.J. Abrams’ Felicity meets J.J. Abrams’ Alias . That's a lot of J.J. Abrams going on th

If you ask comic book fans which Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 villains|https://spiderman2mix.com/ universe was most criminally neglected in Shattered Dimensions , their answer is almost universally going to be the Marvel Zombies version. A zombie virus has infected the Marvel world, and while it is affecting everybody mutant and human alike, the mutants obviously have certain advantages over the rest of the people and become the dominant zombies.

In other Cap news: comic book insider Rich Johnston over at Bleeding Cool has been keeping careful eye on the June 17th release of Captain America #600 and the July 1st release of Reborn #1, two books which are rumored to feature the resurrection of the recently deceased Captain America . According to Rich Johnston, comic book retailers are being asked to order extra stacks of the two books, as they will allegedly tie in to a "major announcement."
