Posted 7/26/09 1:51 pm EST by in Comic-Con


It's the final day of Comic-Con here in San Diego, and one of the things we've seen a lot of this year (in addition to bunches of celebrities and movers and shakers around the comic book movie scene) is some pretty amazing costumes.

While Rorschach and Wolverine were the most frequent costumes seen around the show floor, there were also a good share of video game and anime characters, as well as movie characters and, of course, the requisite amount of comic book heroes and villains. Click on the image below for a gallery of images from the show floor featuring attendees in costume.

Comic-Con: Is Black Widow A Hero Or Villain In 'Iron Man 2'? Scarlett Johansson Isn't Talking!

Posted 7/26/09 12:50 am EST by in Comic-Con, Marvel, News, Video


Iron Man was the talk of the day here at Comic-Con, with today's panel revealing that War Machine will indeed factor into the much-anticipated sequel. Another new addition to the Iron Man universe, Black Widow will make her debut in "Iron Man 2," too.

Here's what actress Scarlett Johansson had to say about her role in the blockbuster sequel and whether she'd be fighting for the good guys or the bad guys.



"You just have to call me a super shape-shifter, I suppose," said Johansson of Black Widow. "You'll have to wait and see. Whose side is she fighting on? I don't know."

Along with promising that her character spends a significant chunk of time "kicking major ass" in the film, Johansson touted her stunt scenes as the must-see moments in her "Iron Man 2" performance. However, she danced around any hints as to exactly whose ass she'll be kicking in the film.

Iron Man 2By Terri Schwartz

"Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau was nice enough to give the entire Comic-Con audience a heart attack Saturday afternoon in San Diego by showing two minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the film. However, it took Robert Downey Jr.'s support and a quick round of happy birthdays to Favreau's son Max to get the real footage shown.

Posted 7/25/09 11:37 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Hot Stuff, Marvel, News


Iron ManThe wait is over for one of the most eagerly anticipated moments at this year's Comic-Con, and fans' patience was rewarded during Saturday's "Iron Man 2" panel.

Along with bringing along most of the film's lead actors, director Jon Favreau was accompanied by a surprise guest at the panel: War Machine. The counterpart to the Iron Man armor was revealed at the end of a montage that offered new footage of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle). Oh, and War Machine, too

"We wanted to use Comic-Con as our venue to have the first images of War Machine come out," Favreau told MTV News. "There's been talk of whether it was [in the film] or not, and we've been holding back. We haven't talked officially about it. We wanted to show the fans some of that." Read More...

Comic-Con: David Goyer Weighs In On 'Batman 3' Schedule

Posted 7/25/09 10:25 pm EST by in Comic-Con, Video


While "The Dark Knight" actor Gary Oldman seems convinced filming will begin on the next Batman movie next year, writer David Goyer sounded a bit less sure of the schedule when he dropped by Splash Page HQ this Comic-Con weekend.



"Right now, Chris is involved in filming 'Inception,' and when he finishes that, he will turn his studious gaze back to the Bat universe and we'll see," Goyer told MTV News.

So, while Goyer isn't dropping any hints -- or might not have any to offer -- it looks like there's still a ways to go before we have any official word on the follow-up to the "The Dark Knight." That's okay, though, it just leaves us more time to guess which villain we'll see in the next Batman movie -- and who will play the role.

Comic-Con: Superman's Capeless Costume For 'Smallville' On Display For Select Attendees?

Posted 7/25/09 6:54 pm EST by in DC Comics, News


Following in the footsteps of General Zod, Metallo, and The Legion of Super-Heroes, Superman's classic costume may be the next element of comic book lore to make its way onto "Smallville," and rumors are leaking out of Comic-Con that stretchy suit is hiding out at the San Diego Convention. In what sounds like a unique PR move, assuming the leads are legit, CW representatives have been snagging unsuspecting attendees off the showroom floor and giving them a look at Tom Welling's new threads.

Civilian fans, rather than established press at Comic-Con have been targeted, according to TV Squad, but ComicBookMovie.com claims to have an image of the suit posted on their site. Read More...

Comic-Con: James Marsden Says 'There's Always Hope' For 'Superman Returns' Sequel

Posted 7/24/09 9:36 pm EST by in Comic-Con, DC Comics, Video


When James Marsden dropped by MTV News HQ to discuss his upcoming thriller "The Box" with Cameron Diaz, we had to ask the "Superman Returns" actor if he had any news on the sequel front. With DC/Warner Bros legally obligated to begin production on a new Superman movie in the near future, Marsden's phone could indeed be ringing... or has it already?



"I'm not keeping up with it, but ... there's always hope," Marsden told MTV News. "I'd love to be part of that again. ... Whether I'm a part of it or not, I'd love to see that legacy continue on the big screen however it manifests itself."

"To me, that was the ultimate superhero -- and to see that on the shelf is saddening," he added. "But you want to see it done the right way as well."

Would you like to see Marsden and his "Superman Returns" character return for a sequel?

Comic-Con: 'Batman 3' To Begin Shooting Next Year, Says Gary Oldman

Posted 7/24/09 9:20 pm EST by in DC Comics, Hot Stuff, News


Gary OldmanCould Batman's next big-screen bow be right around the corner? According to actor Gary Oldman, filming for the project known as "Batman 3" will begin next year.

"I think the next Batman is next year," said Oldman during Friday's Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con in San Diego. "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me."

While the news will no doubt get Bat-fans excited, there's still no official word on the much-anticipated sequel to "The Dark Knight." The likelihood of the film even happening has had doubt cast upon it by everyone from Christopher Nolan to Bruce Wayne himself, Christian Bale.

One thing that does seem certain, however, is that any production on "The Dark Knight" that involves Nolan will likely have to wait until after his upcoming project, "Inception."

Think this one's legit and we'll see "Batman 3" start filming next year? Sound off in the comment section!
