Watch Captain America: The First Avenger - Comic Con Panel Clip!

Just like with Thor, there's an edited clip from the Captain America: The First Avenger portion of the Marvel panel at Comic Con. This one is a little shorter and there isn't as much ceremony with the cast introductions. But it's still cool to see since I wasn't there.

Take a look and see how Chris Evans is filling out that shirt of his. I don't think there will be a problem believing him as the super soldier.

Enjoy!

Watch The Green Lantern - Behind The Scenes Clip!

The local news crew in New Orleans got some pretty cool access to the set of DC's The Green Lantern and were able to bring us a look at what's been going on with filming down there.

There aren't any clips of the stars of the movie. But that's okay. They'll come soon enough. It's nice just to get a sense of what they're up to.

Have a look and get ready for more access and the clips that come from it in the future.

Watch Thor - Comic Con Panel Clip!

A quick clip has been cut together from the Marvel panel at Comic Con showing off some of the major players in the cast of Thor and a quick answer from Chris Hemsworth about what it was like learning how to be the God of Thunder.

Take a look and imagine that we could have been there with them.

Maybe next year.

Watch The Avengers - Ruffalo Talks About The Hulk!

After the Marvel panel, where Mark Ruffalo got a huge pop when he was introduced by Robert Downey Jr. as the next Bruce Banner, life got a little crazy for him.

Everyone wanted to talk to him and ask about the role and the Ed Norton scandal and all of the rest of it. And luckily enough for us Jeff Jensen at Entertainment Weekly had a chance to talk to Ruffalo about taking over the role, and here's what he had to say about the recent revelation:

"It was very exciting — and I realized I had some pretty big shoes to fill. Those were my heroes up there! I was a comic book fan growing up. I loved The Hulk and The Avengers — it’s just strange to be entering that world as an actor. I never would have imagined that before."

As far as the character itself, Ruffalo had this to say:

"He’s a guy struggling with two sides of himself — the dark and the light — and everything he does in his life is filtered through issues of control. I grew up on the Bill Bixby TV series, which I thought was a really nuanced and real human way to look at The Hulk. I like that the part has those qualities."

And some thoughts on taking over the role from his friend Edward Norton after the latter's public feud with Marvel:

"I’m a friend of Ed’s, and yeah, that wasn’t a great way for all that to go down. But the way I see it is that Ed has bequeathed this part to me. I look at it as my generation’s Hamlet."

- Now, I'm not sure if I would compare The Hulk to Hamlet (and I'm curious as to what Thor and one time Hamlet director Kenneth Branagh thinks about that statement) but I do think that I understand where Ruffalo was coming from with the statement.

What do you think about the whole thing? Will Mark Ruffalo step in and fill the big ripped shorts of The Hulk to your satisfaction? Let us know here or over at The Avengers blog!

Watch Thor- The Comic Con Trailer!

So, yesterday I was so desperate for Thor footage that I posted the teaser for the Marvel video game.

But today, today my friends is a great day!

We have the Thor footage that the people at the Marvel panel in San Diego got to see. And I love it.

I've watched it 3 times already and sent the link to all of my friends. And now, you get to watch it with me too.

This is what I've been waiting for since the movie was announced and Kenneth Branagh was tagged to direct.

And I'm not disappointed.

Watch the trailer and get ready for more as we get closer and closer to May 6, 2011.

And for more Thor information, including interviews with Chris Hemsworth, Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman and Clark Gregg click the link and check out the Thor blog!

Enjoy!

Watch Thor - Video Game Teaser!

A couple of days ago we posted the long trailer for the DC Universe game. And while this is a movie blog and I don't want to get into a big habit of posting video game stuff, this quick teaser for the Thor video game got me a little excited.

The voice over work at the beginning was probably my highlight. But maybe that's just me.

Take a look at the clip and see what you think. Let us know if you think you'll buy the game. Or if the game will make you want to see the movie.

And for more news, photos, posters and clips from Thor click the link and check out the blog!

Watch The Avengers - No Nat Portman!

Natalie Portman confirmed over the weekend that she won't be appearing in The Avengers. At least not in the first movie.

And while that sucks because I love Nat Portman, it makes sense. Would there really be room for Jane Foster in a movie with Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and The Hulk? What would she do?

Now, rumors are already swirling about The Avengers 2 with Ant-Man and Wasp rumored to be part of that script and the actors looking like Nathan Fillion and Eva Longoria... which we wrote about here back at the end of June. And if rumors are going to swirl, why not add Jane to those rumors. I'm all for it.

So, try not to be sad friends. We still get Natalie Portman in Thor next May!

Watch The Avengers - Cast Revealed At Comic Con!

I am happy to post this clip because anyone who wishes that they were in San Diego at Comic Con and wishes that they could have been there to see the revealing of the cast of The Avengers and wishes that they could have yelled and screamed and clapped along now can.

Take a look at this clip and watch as an all-star line-up of superheros walks out onto the stage together and shows us just how big The Avengers is going to be. There's no getting around it.

And not matter how much Joss Whedon may joke, I believe that he will write and direct a fantastic movie that will bring all of the characters together and blow our minds.

Watch the clip and start getting excited. May 4, 2012 really isn't that far away!

Enjoy!

Watch The DC Universe - Trailer!

This goes out to anyone who has ever dreamed of a DC Universe movie.

The new DC Universe video game is coming. And this trailer sets the whole thing up for you. It's amazing. It's engaging. And it drew me in right away.

Take a look and dream on the potential for more of the DC animated features like Batman: Under The Red Hood and Superman/ Batman: Apocalypse.

Enjoy!

Watch The Green Lantern - Panel Clips And The Oath!

Warner Bros. knew that the panel for The Green Lantern would go a long way in building buzz and hype for next summer's movie. And by all accounts they did a great job giving the fans in San Diego exactly what they wanted.

This clip gives some of the highlights from the panel, and if you don't watch it til the end you won't get the chills that I did when I watched it. It is the most adorable moment of Comic Con followed by the words that fans of The Green Lantern have been waiting to hear since the movie was announced.

Take a watch and listen and come back for more information about The Green Lantern and all of your favorite upcoming Superhero Movies over the next couple days as we recap Comic Con and all of the news, notes, photos and clips.

Watch The Avengers & Thor - Comic Con News!

Thanks to our friends at cinemablend.com, some good questions by reporters and some loose lips by Tom Hiddleston we know more about Thor and potentially The Avengers than we did yesterday.

Hiddleston gives us a quick break down of the mid-film crisis that really sets things in motion and gives some heavy drama to the story.

It's not anything that hasn't been in the Thor comics, but it may be new to a lot of audiences when the film releases. And either way it should work out just fine.

There are also rumors that Loki could be a major player on the villain side when The Avengers comes to the screen the following summer. Now, that has to be taken with a grain of salt because Joss Whedon has been pretty tight lipped about all things related to The Avengers... but we'll see I guess.

Take a look at the clip and hear Loki speak for yourself.

And come back often today and tomorrow as we wrap up Comic Con and some amazing news, photos and clips that came from it!

Enjoy!

Watch The Green Hornet - Britt Reid's Comic Con Garage!

Britt Reid's garage has been recreated in San Diego for Comic Con, and they've done a wonderful job putting it together.

Fans will have the opportunity to check it all out and there are rumors that you will even be able to hop into Black Beauty with one of the lovely booth girls and cruise through downtown San Diego.

Take a look at the photos from the garage and to see a clip of Seth Rogan talking about The Green Hornet with MTV news click the link and check out the blog!

Watch The Avengers - Joss Whedon Is In!

Sometimes there's news that everyone knows already, everyone in the world. And yet it needs to be told on a big stage anyway.

That's what happened Thursday at Comic Con in San Diego as Joss Whedon officially announced that he will directing Marvel's live action feature film, The Avengers.

By now most people had just accepted this point as fact and we've been wondering more about the casting choice for The Hulk since Ed Norton is no longer involved.

The rumor I'm hearing most strongly is that Mark Ruffalo will be the next Bruce Banner. But we'll have to see how that one plays out.

For now at least we know that Whedon is in for the long haul and has started working on the story and the script. That makes me happy.

“Oh my GOSH! I thought I had a whole year to PREPARE, you know, play the role, wait, and then have the movie come out. Just get used to how big a deal it might be.

“Usually, when you make a movie, there’s just a title and that doesn’t do much of anything for anybody. Even if it’s a Scorsese movie. Nobody knows what that title is about.

“I’ve never done a movie where the title alone makes people go a little crazy.”

How crazy?

“I just got off a plane from London. I was going through Customs, and the guy asks ‘Business or pleasure?’

And I say ‘Business.’

And he says ‘What kind of business?’

And I say ‘Movie. Meetings over a movie.’

And he goes ‘Oh, What movie?’

‘X-Men.’

And he goes ‘Get OUT! They’re doing another X-Men? Oh my gosh, who are going to be?’

‘Mystique.’

‘SHUT UP! Mystique? She’s HOT!’

“And I’m like, ‘Okaay. Can I get through Customs here?’

Watch Captain America: The First Avenger - LA Times Joe Johnson Interview!

Los Angeles Times Entertainment writer Geoff Boucher had a sit down interview with Joe Johnson, director of Captain America: The First Avenger and talked to him about the movie.

They covered the way that Steve Rogers will be portrayed in the film and Boucher takes a look at Captain America from the beginning when Jack Kirby and Stan Lee brought him to the world of comic books.

Give the article a read and give some love to Geoff Boucher at the LA Times for a job well done.

Stay tuned for more information on Captain America: The First Avenger from the San Diego Comic Con and after leading up to the July 22, 2011 release.

Enjoy!

The director of "Captain America: The First Avenger," the 2011 summer blockbuster that will coincide with the character's 70th anniversary, says that the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots -- up to a certain point.

"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," said Joe Johnston, whose past directing credits include "Jurassic Park III" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." He's a guy that wants to serve his country but he's not a flag-waver. We're reinterpretating sort of what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was."

None of that is surprising, of course -- Christopher Nolan pared away significant parts of the Batman mythology (such as Robin the Boy Wonder and any super-powered villains) that didn't fit his grim take on Gotham City while Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. manufactured a version of Iron Man that is hard-wired for far more humor than the old-school Marvel Comics character.

Still, Captain America, with his name and history, is a sensitive case. A red-white-and-blue character that dates back to the Roosevelt era stirs up plenty of civic emotion -- just take a look at the dust-up over the recent change to Wonder Woman's costume. "Wonder Woman" comics are hardly a publishing-world sensation these days but still, for a day or two, the whole world seemed to notice that she put on some pants.

Johnston has been hard at work on the London set of the film but, this Saturday, he'll be making a whirlwind visit to Comic-Con Internationalin San Diego to promote the film. He'll be joined by cast members too, including his charismatic young title star, Chris Evans, who has shown a sly, wise guy wit in many of his previous roles. Does that make him an odd fit to play the earnest and somewhat square superhero with the Betsy Ross fashion sensibility? Johnston answered that in his film -- which is set in World War II -- the character will fight the enemies of America but he won't be a stiff, slogan-spouting guy.

"He wants to serve his country, but he's not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver," Johnston said. "He's just a good person. We make a point of that in the script: Don't change who you are once you go from Steve Rogers to this super-soldier, you have to stay who you are inside, that's really what's important more than your strength and everything. It'll be interesting and fun to put a different spin on the character and one that the fans are really going to appreciate."

Some pundits will pounce on all of this as another desecration of an American touchstone, but how many of them have ever read the books? The character, created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, was certainly un-conflicted about his country and its mission during the clear-cut days of the 1940s, but it didn't always stay that way. In late 1974, for instance, in the months after President Nixon's resignation, Steve Rogers chucked the star-spangled costume and changed his hero name to Nomad (although, by 1976, Cap and original artist Kirby had the hero in Bicentennial mode).

In recent years, Marvel star writer Ed Brubaker'swork on the character has been exceptional and never two-dimensional. Brubaker (the son of a Naval intelligence office who was stationed at Guantanamo Bay) came to recognize that Cap is a vessel that can contain whatever any generation or reader wants to put in it. In 2007 Brubaker told the New York Daily News: "What I found is that all the really hard-core left-wing fans want Cap to be standing out on -- and giving speeches on -- the street corner against the George W. Bush administration, and all the really right-wing fans want him to be over in the streets of Baghdad, punching out Saddam Hussein."

Those sort of geopolitical vagaries and fan projections will take on much higher stakes with a $150-$200-million film. Marvel Studios put itself on the map with two "Iron Man" films that racked up a combined $1.19 billion in box office and almost half of that business ($571 million) was beyond the U.S. and Canada. For Johnston, the imperative is artistic one, not a commercial one. He wants a character that's more complicated than a flag and a movie that entertains without borders.

"Yeah and it's also the idea that this is not about America so much as it is about the spirit of doing the right thing," the director said. "It's an international cast and an international story. It's about what makes America great and what make the rest of the world great too."

Watch Captain America - Comic Con Poster!

Just like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger has had a Comic Con poster released.

I have a feeling that this is going to be a very exciting week in the Superhero Movie universe. And I plan to be trolling the internet looking for everything that I can find.

Be prepared.

Take a look at the Captain America: The First Avenger poster from San Diego and see what you think.

Watch Thor - Comic Con Poster!

That's right friends, it's Comic Con season. And photos, posters and trailers will be all over the place by the end of the event I'm sure.

In fact, we already have the San Diego Comic Con poster for Thor has already been released. And I dig it.

Take a look and see what you think. Are you letting your inner geek out this week like I am?

Oh how I wish I could be there. Maybe next year.

Watch Deadpool - Already?

It seems really, really early for the Deadpool movie to be getting posters... but that's what it looks like we're getting.

Jav Balette of Comics Nexus spotted these Deadpool movie posters somewhere in NYC. And in his blog said "Has FOX already started the marketing for this film (even though there’s not even a director yet) or is this just the work of some intrepid fans?"

I'm leaning towards the fan angle on this one. But kudos to them for doing a good job creating posters that I wouldn't mind seeing when Deadpool actually does get made.

Take a look and see what you think.

And remember to come back for all of the news, information, pictures, posters and trailers for the upcoming Superhero Movies.

Watch Thor - Photos!

Kenneth Branagh's Thor is now filming and photos have started to surface.

There are varying opinions regarding the photos. Especially the one featuring Anthony Hopkins as Odin in the forefront. I have heard a lot of people say that the costume looks silly. And the eye patch seems to be getting the most flack. I think that things are a little shiny for my tastes.

The newest photo shows us the Hall of Asgard from a short distance. I think that the set looks good. And for comic book folks this is a set that holds significance.

Take a look for yourself and see what you think of the look of the movie so far.

And come back for more information as soon as we can find it.

Credit to cinemablend.com for the photos.

Watch Batman: Under The Red Hood - Trailer

Batman: Under The Red Hood is the latest feature from the DC Comics and Warner Bros. Premiere partnership.

With villains The Red Hood, The Joker, Black Mask and Ra's al Ghul involved the movie is not short on action or confrontation.

And the voice work of Bruce Greenwood, John Di Maggio, Jensen Ackles, Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Isaacs involved in the project does nothing but make it more appealing.

The trailer is right here, and I dig it.

The movie releases July 27, 2010 on DVD and Blu-Ray.

But if you want to find out some information on how and where to find Batman: Under the Red Hood streaming check out this article and find out.

Enjoy!

Watch The Green Hornet - Trailer!

The Green Hornet was a forgotten character whose TV show used to come on after Batman.

But now he's back. With Kevin Smith penning the comic book and the feature film coming in January, the Green Hornet is once again on the tip of people's tongues.

Take a look at the trailer for The Green Hornet and see what you think about Seth Rogan as Britt Reid and Jay Chou as Kato.

And stay tuned for more information including how to find The Green Hornet streaming once the movie has launched.
