On the business end, both Chris Hemsworth AND Tom Hiddleston are signed-on for multiple movies in “multiple franchises”. This is not surprising for Hemsworth (after all Thor does have to appear in The Avengers movie), but the news that Hiddleston was also included in the cross-pollinating deal hints that Loki could be up to his trickster ways in The Avengers
In __ the landmark The Dark Knight , Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) flips his signature double-headed coin during a courtroom scene, using it to decide whether he or Rachel Dawes should take the case. When the coin lands his way, he smirks and says, “I make my own luck.” At first, it’s a charming display of confide
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.” Johnston speculates that the announcement could potentially involve the casting of Captain America in the movie. Up until now, many actors have been rumored for the role , but there’s been little hint as to a frontrunner.

OK, so just a few minutes ago Twitter literally exploded with news of a major financial announcement: according to The Associated Press, The Walt Disney Co. will acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc., for $4 billion in cash and st
What do you think of this mega-acquisition of Marvel by Disney ? Does it make you as apprehensive as me for the future or elated that we may have an enormous opportunity to see more comic films in the fut
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-

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
Doctor Octopus’ entire life is a cycle of ambition and inevitable failure. Otto Octavius’ inventions are objectively revolutionary, but they’re usually undermined by his self-serving personality. Even when Doc Ock tries to reform or reinvent himself , his own hubris pulls him back into self-destruct
Yet, Doc Ock’s plan to cremate Jean Grey before she turns into a zombie backfires in a way nobody expects. Instead of incinerating her body, Octopus’ machine leads Jean to transform into the Phoenix, who may or may not also be a zombie. This version of Marvel Zombies ‘ infection may place Jean Grey in a similar spot as the MCU Marvel Zombies ‘ Scarlet Witch , who claims the title of the Red Queen, leader of all the und
