Marvel’s “Phase 2” is well underway with the trailer for Thor: The Dark World hitting online. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston reprise their roles for the third time as drama-free brothers, Thor and Loki. Alan Taylor of Game of Thrones directs, and his style shows perfectly in the trailer.
I have to admit, I’m pessimistic about Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. The cast seems to grow everyday, which gives the impression that cameos will occur nonstop. Then there’s Wolverine once again being up front and center, as if he’s the only X-Man.
I know, I know — I’m a day late on posting this, but it’s news that should be spread throughout time and space. In a (not so) surprising twist, Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm announced that John Williams will return to the Star Wars saga to compose for Episode 7.
The Terminator and Terminator 2 were highly regarded films, while the third movie and Terminator: Salvation can be summed up as “meh”. Nevertheless, Paramount, Skydance Productions, and Annapurna Pictures intend to move forward with the franchise.
Man of Steel is out in theaters and speculation for the sequel is already circulating. One of the possibilities is Lex Luthor being the antagonist, which makes sense considering the LexCorp logos we saw in the movie. Or that’s leaping — over a tall building — in a single bound.

Robert Downey Jr. fulfilled his contractual obligation with Marvel Studios with Iron Man 3. Despite the success with playing Tony Stark, it was unclear if Downey would continue with the character that is essentially him; he expressed interest in moving on with other projects.
Empire had a special podcast with Joss Whedon on his film, Much Ado About Nothing, and naturally, the topic of the sequel to The Avengers came up.
One of the major complaints about The Avengers was Captain America’s costume. It was close to the comics, but it more or less looked goofy and looked almost like pajamas. But we could always blame Agent Coulson and his love for Steve Rogers. A living legend? My god, put him in this costume from the trading cards!
