THE WOLVERINE Sequel Announced

What Marvel Movies Can We Expect in Phase 3 and Beyond?

Marvel isn't going anywhere


Comic books and movies have been intimately involvedfor generations, with everything from early black and white movie serials to the 1978 blockbuster that was Superman. But it wasn’t until the year 2000 that they truly began to take over the multiplexes, with X-Men andMarvel Studios paving the way for the summer events we’ve come to enjoy.

Diesel plays Groot in Marvel film

Vin Diesel is officially set to play Groot in Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, following months of rumours and speculation.

He has joined the star-studded cast for the upcoming live-action film, which already includes Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista, reported the Marvel website, Marvel.com.

'Agents of SHIELD' to Feature 'Thor 2' Tie-In

A Nov. 19 episode of the ABC series will "pick up the pieces" from ending of the theatrical sequel.

A little less than two weeks after the God of Thunder makes his big screen return in Thor: The Dark World, the plot will be referenced in some form on small screens.


"In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel's Thor: The Dark World, Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces -- one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team," reads the Marvel description of the episode titled "The Well."In what could prove to be a welcome bit of synergy, Marvel revealed on Friday that the storyline of the ABC seriesAgents of SHIELD will intersect with the ending of the Thor sequel on a Nov. 19 episode.

The episode will be directed by Jonathan Frakes, a former Star Trek actor and director of NCIS: Los Angeles and Burn Notice episodes.

The latest episode of Agents of SHIELD, "Girl With the Flower Dress," aired on Oct. 22. Earlier in the month, ABC gave the scripted drama a full-season order.

The Hollywood Reporter's guest recapper, Jim Steranko, a creator of the Nick Fury character, appraised the show after its fifth episode: "The sometimes-manic, sometimes-plodding quality of the previous eps has settled into a pragmatic, if sometimes predictable comfort zone."

Doctor Strange Gets The Magic Green Light

The Sorcerer Supreme is in active development

The Doctor Strange movie may not be exactly new news but the project has definitely moved on apace since the story first emerged. Marvel's top dog Kevin Feige, currently doing the press rounds to promote Thor: The Dark World, crystallized the studio's thinking in an interview with Movies.com. To wit: "It's in active development right now.” “Doc Strange, as I've been saying for years, is a movie I believe we should make," Feige elaborated. "We’re just figuring out how to make it a great movie.  Marvel's Phase 3 will kick off with Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man in 2015, followed by two yet-to-be-officially-announced projects in the summer of 2016 and ’17 respectively. Feige was tight-lipped about which of these would be Doctor Strange - if either.  “Whether that’s one of the movies we announce for 2016 or 2017, we have to see,” he said. “I think it’ll be the middle of next year before we announce officially what the post Ant-Man films will be. Stuff might happen before that. It’s too early to tell.” Our guess is that Strange will end up in one of those two slots and that Marvel is keeping its powder dry until Ant-Man is a little closer to shooting and Phase 2 is further advanced. In the meantime, we've kicked some ideas around on who should play the Sorcerer Supreme. Join the debate here.

Kingsley for 'secret' Marvel job

Sir Ben Kingsley has revealed he is working with Marvel on a top secret project.

The Ender's Game star refused to disclose details about the role, and would not reveal if he would be reprising his part as the Mandarin, which he played in Iron Man 3.

"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see," he said.

Sir Ben, who plays military leader Mazer Rackham in Gavin Hood's big-screen adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi book Ender's Game, alongside Harrison Ford and Asa Butterfield, said he enjoyed reuniting with the Marvel crew.

"I was with many members of the crew that were involved in Iron Man 3. It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family," he continued.

"I think they have enormous taste as creative artists. There's nothing lazy or gratuitous about their work. They are at the top of their game, and they're great company to keep," he added.

Marvel producer Kevin Feige admitted he could say nothing about Ben's project, joking he would feel the repercussions from the studio's bosses.

:: Ender's Game opens in cinemas on October 25.

X-Men: Days of Future Past to be shown in 48fps?

Rumour suggests new X-Men movie has been shot in High Frame Rate

Although High Frame Rate was met with mixed reactions, it seems that 'Days of Future Past' could be the first superhero movie shown in 48fps… even though Fox denies the rumours.

Despite the controversy surrounding the 48fps version of 'The Hobbit' it looks as though Marvel's X-Men could be the first superheroes to appear in this new, high frame rate format. But as rumours suggest that the movie has already been shot with High Frame Rate cameras, is this really the case? Or has someone mixed things up behind the scenes?

According to a source over at Ain't It Cool News, 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' was shot using High Frame Rate cameras and will be shown in cinemas at the controversial 48 fps.

"[Days of Future Past] was shot in HFR and will be released in 48fps," said their source. "The filmmakers played coy because of the negative reaction to the technology when the Hobbit film was released, but love the results and will be standing behind a theatrical release in high frame rate."

Of course, this new High Frame Rate was the cause of plenty of controversy when it was used to film Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit'. It left many of us wondering why on earth they had chosen to use it in the first place, giving the film a hyper-real and almost theatre-like experience. And after leaving some cinemagoers feeling disorientated and nauseous, it just wasn't exactly the huge success we were promised.

So why would 20^th Century Fox choose to use this for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'?

It looks as though maybe they haven't…

In a report by Variety, representatives from Fox have apparently denied the rumours, stating categorically that the film will not be shown in 48 fps.

"A spokesman for 20th Century Fox has denied an Internet report claiming Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will be released in 48 fps," it reads. "Fox isn't sure where the rumour came from but insists the story is false."

Obviously, the studio could be attempting to keep this under wraps until a later date… but I can't help thinking that the original source just may have gotten his wires crossed. After all, we've already been told that many of Quicksilver's scenes have been shot using specialist gear to accomplish a whopping 3600 frames per second. But this is a very special instance, being used to create the effect of everything moving very slowly around a character who has super speed. And I suppose it's easy to see how the original source might have jumped to the conclusion that the entire film was being shot in high frame rates.

So for now, I'd say it's very unlikely… But I suppose we'll have to wait to find out. Still, I can't wait to see how Quicksilver's scenes turn out. But then, I doubt they're going to leave the audience feeling nauseous. Not because of the camera shots, anyway.

Do you think 'Days of Future past' will screen in 48fps? Was it all just a big misunderstanding? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

Terry Crews eyes Marvel role

Wants to play The Thing or Colossus

Yahoo Contributor Network - Colossus, Terry Crews, and The Thing

Terry Crews has admitted that he pines for the day when he can portray The Thing in a 'Fantastic Four' movie, but he's not picky, because he wouldn't be averse to playing Colossus in a future 'X-Men' escapade too.

'The Expendables' behemoth made the revelation to Newsarama, confessing that he would leap at the opportunity to play either the beloved stone-faced heavy or the strongest member of the X-Men ensemble, but it's up to filmmakers and moviegoers to find the perfect superhero role for him.

Crews proclaimed, "One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from 'Fantastic Four.' Another character I've always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus."

He admitted that the power isn't his hands though, stating, "You can't make yourself President; the people make you the President. If people want me to be a part of this superhero genre, it'll happen. People get what they want." A perfect analogy if I've ever heard one.

Crews has clearly been thinking about a Marvel role for quite some time, and he's even quite pragmatic with his desires. "Some people bring up Luke Cage," noted Crews, "but honestly I have to step out of that because Marvel's never really expressed an interest in it, why should I?"

He then added, "I'm interested in actually doing a character that'll see the light of day … I don't want to be a part of something that's going to sit on the shelf and never get made."

However, if he isn't able to make a cinematic impression on a comic book character from the past or present, then Crews is holding out hope that an artist will soon create one that is perfect for him in the near future.

Crews mused, "I feel like we need to make new superheroes, African-American superheroes, that people would accept. Whatever I do, it has to be right - for me, for the character, and for the fans."

For the uninitiated, Terry Crews is one of those actors that you instantly recognise, but can't quite remember what from.

That doesn't stop him from being a reliable actor who has brought a quirky stern presence to the likes of 'Idiocracy,' 'Bridesmaids,' 'The Expendables,' 'Arrested Development' and *ahem* 'White Chicks.' Plus he used to be an NFL player, which makes him doubly awesome.

Would Crews make a better Thing or Colossus?

Samuel L Jackson to appear in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D?

New TV promo hints at Nick Fury cameo

Although Agent Coulson has taken the spotlight, it looks as though Nick Fury could be back as a new promo hints at a cameo in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

After the extremely successful launch of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' it looks as though the comic book series has become one of the most-watched programmes of last week - with a staggering 3.1 million viewers. But it looks as though there might be an even bigger reason to tune in for episode two as Nick Fury is rumoured to appear in a very special cameo.

A very brief (yet utterly tantalising) video on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Facebook page shows a montage of clips followed by the now-familiar logo… but it seems in this case, the Eagle is sporting an eye-patch.

Obviously mimicking Nick Fury, fans are already speculating that this could hint towards an appearance by Nick Fury himself - played by none other than Samuel L Jackson. And let's be honest, it's not exactly a tremendous leap.

For one thing, the promo advises viewers to "stay 'til the very end" and it's been suggested that we may be treated to one of Marvel's famous post-credits scenes. Even Agent Coulson himself (or rather, the actor Clark Gregg) has urged fans to stick around, presumably for a post-credits scene.

Just finished setting my dvd to record episode #2 of #agentsofSHIELD. All of it. Credits and all.

But could it really star Samuel L Jackson?

Having played S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury in a number of Marvel feature films, Jackson has already expressed interest in reprising his role for the small-screen.

"If I was going to do S.H.I.E.L.D. I'd like to be - you know Charlie's voice on Charlie's Angels? That would be perfect. Because everybody recognizes my voice. That would be good enough for me. And I told Joss that."

If you ask me, I think they'd be mad not to take him up on that. After all, Nick Fury is the face of S.H.I.E.L.D. And an appearance by Samuel L Jackson could bring in an even bigger crowd than it's already rather impressive pilot episode.

Will Samuel L Jackson appear in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'? For now, we'll have to wait and see. But I'd bet my left eye on it.

Do you think Samuel L Jackson will appear in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'? Should we expect a cameo or will he get a bigger role as the series progresses? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

Tom Hiddleston Hopes for Enchantress Appearance in Future Marvel Movie

If the actor's much-loved Loki makes another movie appearance, could it involve some bad romance?

Marvel movie fans have already made it known that they'd really, really like a solo movie for Tom Hiddleston's Loki character. Thankfully, the actor has an idea of what his character could get up to in such a feature -- and whom he could get up to it with.

"When I was first reading the comics, [Loki's] relationship with the Enchantress was one of the really fun things I thought would be good to explore," Hiddleston told Total Filmmagazine while promoting November's Thor: The Dark World, referencing the fan-favorite femme fatale from the series. "[I] may have even pitched it to [Marvel Studios head] Kevin Feige at some point."

Hiddleston explained that he liked the combination of his trickster god and the Enchantress "because she was as sneaky and as untrustworthy as he was. They basically had a really fantastic and twisted relationship until they both say, 'You know what? I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you. It’s over.' Because they keep betraying each other, in a way. So it could be good."

The actor also took the opportunity to remind everyone that Loki was "certainly" not celibate, even without Amora around. "I mean, Sleipnir is one of his children. Did you know that? Odin’s eight-legged horse in the mythology is one of Loki’s children," Hiddleston (correctly) pointed out. "As is Fenrir the wolf."

Somehow it's hard to imagine Disney being entirely OK with the potential bestiality implications of those mythical offspring showing up in the movies, even if the idea of a cute Loki and Fenrir animated movie does seem like a potential winner at some point down the line. Think Lilo & Stitch, but just a little bit more evil.
