Did Marvel Just Reveal Its Doctor Strange Release Date?If I had to make an educated guess, I’d reserve the May 6, 2016 slot for a Doctor Strange movie. Marvel President Kevin Feige has mention Strange often, confirming his role in Marvel’s Phase Three and seemingly chomping at the bit to get the mystical character on screen. I could see him being introduced in Avengers 2, then built up into his own standalone movie for the start of Summer 2016. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-06-14 08:41:54comments

Thor: The Dark World Reveals Two Images Ahead Of Tomorrow's TrailerSure, Iron Man 3 opens in just a few days internationally, and only a week after that in the United States.

Marvel Superheroes Recast Via Celebrity Cyber Casting CouchWhat if iconic superhero roles were recast according to fan whimsy? We’d end up with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Colossus, the steely X-Man.

Deleted Thor Scene Shows Natalie Portman Sending Asgard A SignalAt the end of Thor, our favorite Asgardian (Chris Hemsworth) was left wondering about Jane (Natalie Portman), whom he couldn’t visit because the rainbow bridge that allowed him to travel between worlds had been decimated.

Chris Hemsworth Promises Relationship Troubles And A Game Of Thrones Vibe For Thor 2The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been so successful that it's hard to imagine any of the movies being risky, but as we enter what the studio is calling "Phase Two," there will be some changes afoot.

Chris Evans Wants A Captain America Cameo In Thor 2The logistics that Marvel would have to work out is Steve Rogers’ existence on Earth, while the rest of Thor appears to be taking place in Asgard (and other worlds).

Thor: The Dark World Set Images Arrive From The UKWhile Iron Man 3 has spent nearly the entire summer shooting in preparation for the film's May 3, 2013 release date, things are just getting started on Thor: The Dark World. The film is gearing up to start production in September, but there's a lot of work to do before the cameras start rolling, and part of that is building the sets.

Kat Dennings Gets Expanded Role For Thor: The Dark WorldBefore she was headlining her own hit CBS sitcom, Kat Dennings was taking a lot of audiences by surprise in a small but crucial role in Thor. Her character Darcy didn't really serve a purpose in the main, intergalactic narratives, but she got all the good jokes, talking about Thor's cut physique and oddball behavior all while her friend and boss Jane (Natalie Portman) was too smitten to say anything...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-08-22 08:05:50comments
Doctor Who's Christopher Eccleston Could Play The Villain In Thor: The Dark WorldChristopher Eccleston is no stranger to genre.

Mads Mikkelsen Bolts On Thor 2, Cites Commitment To HannibalWe didn’t even know who Mikkelsen was going to play, but any production that loses an actor of his caliber takes a step backwards.

Zachary Levi Growing Out Facial Hair For Thor 2 RoleThe Tangled star appeared on The Tonight Show last night, and when asked why he was growing out some sweet facial hair, he finally confirmed he’s officially accepted the Frandral role. Under other circumstances, he could have been forced to downplay the re-casting out of respect for Dallas, but since being part of a hit show is hardly a sad reason to be passed over, Levi was able to euphorically announce the news. ...by Mack Rawden | published: 2012-07-11 11:53:20comments
Zachary Levi Could Replace Josh Dallas In Thor 2Dallas is leaving on good terms, as his time commitment to the hit ABC show Once Upon a Time means he can’t commit to the Thor sequel, which Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor will helm beginning in September. Levi was the first choice to play the role in the initial Thor film, but had to pass due to his Chuck commitments. Now he’s free, and the trade says an offer is "imminent."...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-06-09 10:50:26comments

Why There's A Slight Chance You Won't Like The AvengersWhedon didn’t make this film for non-fans, and it doesn’t hold your hand at any point on the ride.

Mondo Reveals Four More Exclusive Avengers PostersMy favorite, by far, is the Iron Man one designed by Kevin Tong, though Martin Ansin’s Thor – with its lightning-bolt disruptions – is a close second.

Saving Private Ryan Scribe Brought On To Rewrite Thor 2This is great news. Robert Rodat is a legitimate screenwriter who will hopefully take the sequel to the next level. In a way this reminds me of when Joss Whedon was brought on to direct The Avengers and ended up completely rewriting the draft that was by Zak Penn (who was also responsible for some superhero disasters, including the first Fantastic Four movie, Elektra, and X-Men: The Last Stand).

Thor 2 To Shoot This Summer In LondonWhile the domestic box office numbers suggest that Marvel Studios shouldn't have been happy with the Thor's theater run last summer, one look at its international totals tells a completely different story.
