New DARK KNIGHT RISES Details Reveal Anne Hathaways Bane | The Daily BLAM!
(Slight spoiler)

"Gotham City is a war zone. A ruthless madman named Bane has ripped away any sense of security and the citizens, haggard and clutching suitcases with refugee anxiety, sit behind barbed wire waiting to see what will blow up next. A hooded prisoner is dragged in – it’s Bruce Wayne, one of Gotham’s most famous faces – but the eyes of the crowd go instead to the woman in black standing at the top of the staircase. "Sorry to spoil things, boys, but Bane needs these guys himself,” says sultry Selina Kyle."

THOR 2 Unexpectedly Loses MONSTER Director Patty Jenkins | The Daily BLAM!

Marvel Studios announced several months ago that Patty Jenkins, who previously directed MONSTER starring Charlize Theron and received an Emmy nomination for directing the pilot of AMC’s acclaimed series The Killing, will direct THOR 2; Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman are slated to return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston.

It's now been revealed that Jenkins has exited the project; no explanation outside of "creative differences" was revealed as to why. Marvel Studios is hurriedly searching for a replacement for the film which is scheduled to begin filming early next year in preparation for theatrical release Friday, November 15, 2013. In addition to THOR 2, Marvel Studios is currently scheduled to release MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS on May 4, 2012, and IRON MAN 3 which is slated for release on May 3, 2013.

Edit:

At the end of the month, Alan Taylor, best known for directing episodes of the HBO fantasy series Game Of Thrones, was chosen to direct the sequel.

Chris Hemsworth on The Avengers Script l Collider

“I saw a very early draft and, yeah, it’s incredible. Look, everything about the story in the comic books is huge. You have these huge, big superheroes and these huge, big egos kind of crammed into one small space.”

"The second Avengers trailer is due to arrive online on February 29th. It’s “quite spoilerific story-wise” and features “new and old money shots.” The Incredible Hulk won’t be featured as prominently in the second theatrical trailer as he was in the Avengers Super Bowl Promo"

I can't wait!! May 4th can't come soon enough!!

He cut off my hair, and flew away, mumbling about invading the U.K. by April 26th and the U.S. by May 4th.

The way these results look, not having an AVENGERS cameo from
the "new" Spidey (even if it was a quick 5 second scene) seems like
a big missed opportunity.

Yeah, I'm disapointed that Wheadon said that the rumor was false. That would've been a perfect opportunity to add on to the MCU, with a more "grounded to reality" Spider-Man.

What Andrew Garfield had to say about The Amazing Spider-Man in comparison to the Batman [Nolan's] films:

"We haven't gone for gritty, we've gone for grounded. If we try & make Batman, we'll fail. The new Batman is it's own thing- & also in terms of tone, Spider-Man is nothing like that character. Spider-Man is a witty kid, Spider-Man wants to have fun, he's a teen & he needs to go through first love & pi ss around."

As kid I know Peter always had the bad 'Parker luck' but always tfelt he dug being Spiderman.
One thing I didn't like about the first 3 movies was that fact Peter thought his powers were a curse.
I hope this movie brings back some of the fun of being Spiderman.
He's not Batman despite what McFarlane tried to do to him.

The comment that sums up what I'm thinking about the Banner re-cast:

Damn, no disrespect to Mark Ruffalo, but why no Edward Norton... kinda ruined the continuation and the build up. I know Mark Ruffalo could be even better hulk possibly but dang... just wont have the continuation feel.

I'd say having him crack jokes (as seen in the trailer(s)) is a good start to bringing it back. And I've never read McFarlane's stuff. Is it good?

The Avengers - Best Superhero Movie Ever?

The Avengers to be the Best Comic Book Movie?

I hope that it's true!

The Avengers To Be told from Captain America's POV

The Avengers to be told from Cap's perspective

I have mixed feelings about this. It seems like for a movie featuring 15+ charcters, the 3rd point perspective should have been used. But I will reserve my judgment until the film is released.

Edit: But seeing how Alan Silvestri is doing the score makes sense since seeing how he did the score for Captain America: TFA.

The Avengers - Planned Sequel

In October 2011, producer Kevin Feige hinted at a sequel to The Avengers during the New York Comic Con stating, "Iron Man 3 will be the first of what we sort of refer to as phase two of this saga that will culminate, God willing, in Avengers 2". In March 2012, Joss Whedon stated that he would want a sequel to be "...smaller. More personal. More painful. By being the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself."

I can't wait!!
