  • Official Photo of Andrew Garfield as The Amazing Spider-Man

    Columbia Pictures made the announcement today that director Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot is entitled The Amazing Spider-Man. In addition to the announcement, Columbia Pictures released an official picture of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man.

    I must say I’m a fan of the costume design. The eyes were a surprise, but it looks more realistic. Then we get a closer look at the webs-shooters — which I’m stoked about. You can also see the touchpads that activate the web-shooters.

    The Amazing Spider-Man comes out July 3, 2012.

  • Michael Rosenbaum Reprises Lex Luthor for Smallville

    The news still keeps pouring in despite Smallville approaching its swan song. After all the speculation, the producers have come forward with news that Michael Rosenbaum will make a final return as Lex Luthor for the series finale.

    “It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited about having Michael back. And as far as the way he returns … there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He is the villain of the story.”

    — Executive producers and showrunners Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders

    “I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness and even their threats (laughs). I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again….. Oh, and for Lex to become the badass he’s destined to be.”

    — Michael Rosenbaum

    It’s incredibly exciting that Rosenbaum is reprising his role as Lex Luthor after a three-year absence. It’s clearly looking like the show will be getting the sendoff it deserves, with both its protagonist and antagonist at odds once again.

    The series finale for Smallville is on May 13, 2011 — don’t miss out.

  • X-Men: First Class Trailer Online

    The trailer for X-Men: First Class released today and it actually shows promise. I’m cautiously optimistic.

    The movie releases on June 3, 2011.

  • Cobie Smulders to Portray Maria Hill in The Avengers

    Marvel Studio’s recent casting has come to a close with actress Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) selected to portray Maria Hill in The Avengers.

    Maria Hill’s place in The Avengers? She’s the executive director of SHIELD; and in the film she will be Nick Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson) right-hand woman. Coupled with a fighting prowess, Hill is an apt negotiator.

    Cobie Smulders’ role involves a nine-picture option, so it’s clear that Maria Hill will be in other Marvel films.

    The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon begins shooting in late April.

  • Trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger is Out

    Marvel finally released a trailer for the anticipated film Captain America: The First Avenger starring Chris Evans. The trailer gives off an Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer feel, which makes it more exciting for the time period it’s based on. I’m stoked for how director Joe Johnston and Chris Evans will bring Captain America to life.

    Captain America: The First Avenger releases July 22, 2011.

  • Captain America: The First Avenger Official Poster

    Marvel released the official poster for Captain America: The First Avenger — and it looks incredibly badass. It fits the tone of a World War II film.

    I can’t help but be enthusiastic for the upcoming movie. Chris Evans was earnest at Comic-Con about Captain America, and director Joe Johnston feels like a perfect fit after his work on Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer.

  • More Photos and News on Captain America: The First Avenger

    New images from Captain America: The First Avenger hit online — also giving us a first look at Captain America’s sidekick James “Bucky” Barnes, portrayed by Sebastian Stan.

    On top of the photos, Chris Evans cleared up the rumor on how many films he’s signed up for:

    “To be honest it was quite intimidating and scary to commit to nine films in a row. God thank you, we reduced the number to six [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][3 Captain America, 3 Avengers] … If all goes as planned, I embody Captain America until I am 40-years-old.”

    — Chris Evans

    Six movies is still a hell of a lot to sign on for, and Evans put things in perspective mentioning the age he would be at, at the end of his tenure as Captain America.

    The first trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger will debut on TV this Super Bowl Sunday — so keep your eyes open.
