It was safe to assume that Fox would abandon the Fantastic Four property after its lackluster performance in the box office. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the case. Okay, maybe not unfortunately; just maybe. Matthew Vaughn, who brought us X-Men: First Class, is on board as the producer for the reboot of Fantastic Four. Josh Trank of Chronicle has joined to direct.

Iron Man 3 Poster for The Mandarin
Of course you can’t release a bunch of posters from Iron Man 3 without the main antagonist getting his own. The latest one has Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin, sitting relaxed but with a commanding presence. -
The Wolverine Photo Tweeted
The official Twitter account for The Wolverine posted a photo of Hugh Jackman as Logan, with the caption: “The past is always behind you, but the memories still remain.” It’s an interesting choice of words since Logan is known for having memories that are either unreliable or flat out aren’t there.

Two Iron Man 3 Posters

Marc Webb Teases New Spider-Man Look
Director Marc Webb is working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and informed fans that the Spider-Man suit was redesigned with “gnarly web shooters and bigger eyes”. Yesterday on Twitter, he teased fans with a shot of the bigger eyes for Spider-Man. Unfortunately, no web shooters just yet. -
Hugh Jackman in X-Men: Days of Future Past
Hugh Jackman may have finished filming The Wolverine but playing the character is far from over. In not-so-surprising news, Jackman will reprise the role for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. It makes perfect sense since Wolverine played a huge role in the graphic novel. A Days of Future Past without Wolverine would be very odd. -
Producer Teases Fans About S.H.I.E.L.D.
Producer Maurissa Tanchareon snapped a photo that she posted on Twitter to tease fans about ABC’s S.H.I.E.L.D. (that’s quite a bit of acronyms) which is being developed under Joss Whedon’s direction. If there was a thought that the show would scale things back to realism, it’s a thought that’s sorely wrong.
