Blastr Post: Marvel boss can’t really say why there are no female superhero movies now
With great power to do great superhero movies comes great responsibility: to finally give the fans an awesome solo superhero flick with a strong woman as its lead, right?

Blastr Post: Don't worry: James Spader will be 'more than a voice’ as Avengers 2’s Ultron
If you were a tad worried that the awesome James Spader would only be voicing The Avengers 2’s big bad villain Ultron—you know, à la Iron Man's J.A.R.V.I.S.—then good news! The Blacklist actor will definitely be "more than a voice."

New 'Thor' Picture Shows Thor as Donald Blake and his Hammer Mjolnir
Marvel Studios and Paramount pictures have released a new picture from it's upcoming Thor movie. This picture comes courtesy of USA Today.
It depicts Thor (Chris Hemsworth) probably in his Donald Blake incarnation, trying to pull his hammer Mjolnir from the stone. A bit like King Arthur pulling Excalibur.
Just click on the pic to make it a bit bigger.

New San Diego Comic-Con 2010 'Thor' and 'Captain America' Posters Online!
Sweet mother of God! Basically that was my first thought here.
Paramount and Marvel have made some Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger posters available online to gaze at, and they are spectacularly fine! They are very comic-book like in their design - which is of course fitting.
I hope these will be available at Comic-Con in the form of goody bags or something. I fear everyone will try to get their hands on those! I may have to pull some hair out or something to get one of these. just kidding.
In the meanwhile, look at those sweet babies! (just click on them)

Do you like the posters? Or would you rather have had the usual picture type ones?

New Name Actor Rumoured for Hulk Role in 'The Avengers'!
And his name is Mark Ruffalo!
After the David Tennant/Adrian Brody/ Joaquin Phoenix/ Nathan Fillion story/rumour, Deadline now reports that Mark Ruffalo is in talks to play Bruce Banner a.k.a the Incredible Hulk, in The Avengers movie.
Apparently, the actor is in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his new talent agency United Talent.
[Deadline]
Seriously, my head is spinning with all these rumours. I don't know what to make of all of them and frankly, until it's officially announced, anything can go. And though I think Ruffalo is a great actor, I just don't see it. But that's just me.
What do you all think of that new development?

Marvel Studios Press Release Confirms Captain America Casting

Below is the full press release found on Marvel's website that confirm the casting of both Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan in the upcoming The First Avenger: Captain America movie.
Marvel Studios has officially confirmed that Chris Evans will star as Captain America and Sebastian Stan will portray Cap's sidekick Bucky in the studio's highly anticipated movie "The First Avenger: Captain America," directed by Joe Johnston from a script penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.
Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce "The First Avenger: Captain America." Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, Stratton Leopold and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
"The First Avenger: Captain America" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.
Chris Evans will next star in Sylvain White's "The Losers." He will also star in Edgar Wright's "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." He recently wrapped production on "Puncture" and he will soon start production on "What's Your Number." Evans' previous credits include starring as Johnny Storm in the "Fantastic Four" films, Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" and David Ayer's "Street Kings."
Sebastian Stan can currently be seen in "Hot Tub Time Machine," and will appear in "The Apparition" as well as Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan," both slated for 2010. His previous credits include roles on the NBC drama "Kings" and CW's "Gossip Girl."
In addition to "The First Avenger: Captain America," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including the highly anticipated sequel, "Iron Man 2," starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow on May 7, 2010; "Thor" on May 6, 2011; and "The Avengers" on May 4, 2012.
Stay tuned to Marvel.com for the official word on all things to do with "The First Avenger: Captain America" and all Marvel movies! [Marvel]
I'm surprised that Marvel chose to keep the sidekick since this avenue has proven detrimental before in the case of the Batman movies (before Chris Nolan took up the franchise). I hope it wont turn out to be too syrupy or corny.
While I like Chris Evans and find him well-suited for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America, however I don't know Sebastian Stan all that well so I can't say anything about his casting.
Here's hoping the movie will be great.
