Earlier this year, Chris Evans won the title role in "The First Avenger: Captain America," after an extensive casting search.
And while some fans have complained about his unfamiliarity with the character, Evans seems to have a firm grasp on Captain America's place in the Marvel pantheon.
"It is a big responsibility," stated Evans during an interview with Screen Star. "I'm a little scared, to be honest. I'd be lying if I said anything else, and I have no problem being honest about that. It's intimidating. It's a big responsibility and you want to do your best work." Read More...

Edgar Wright's long-gestating adaptation of "Ant-Man" could finally begin production at the end of this year.
"Edgar was in L.A. last week," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told Superhero Hype. "We sat down, and we started working on a calendar of when to get him back into it once he finishes promoting 'Scott Pilgrim,' so I think towards the end of this year, early next year we'd start looking at early prep for that, but certainly for a release date after 'The Avengers.'"
Wright was first attached to direct "Ant-Man" back in 2006. However, the film has since gone through a lengthy development process. Earlier this year, Wright revealed to MTV News that Ant-Man's solo film was not contingent upon his appearance in "The Avengers." Read More...

Nicolas Cage's days as the spirit of vengeance could well be at an end, as reports are circulating that the "Ghost Rider" sequel might move on without the actor's participation.
According to Vulture, Columbia Pictures is preparing to move forward with "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" without Cage's involvement if he can't fit the movie into his schedule this year — because if the movie isn't in production by November 14, 2010, the franchise reverts back to Marvel Studios and Disney.
There are concerns over whether or not Cage will be able to reprise Johnny Blaze in time for the November deadline due to other obligations, including "National Treasure 3," leading Columbia to consider pursuing the film without him. Read More...

The second episode of the new season of "Doctor Who" airs this weekend on BBC America, and that means it's time for me to roll out another segment from my recent interview with the wildly popular science-fiction series' new stars, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.
In this portion of the interview, Smith offers up some thoughts on his debut in the final moments of last season's finale, when he took over the role from the previous Doctor, David Tennant.
"It was really mad, because we shot that in May, and we didn't start shooting [the next season] until the end of July," said Smith. "I was doing a film at the time in Berlin and had to fly back to do this one scene." Read More...

"The Losers" has arrived in theaters, and while we've been raving about Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Chris Evans' performances in the film, Morgan said it was fellow cast member Zoe Saldana that provided him with his favorite experience on the set.
"The cool thing about getting to play the character is, for one, he's simply bad-ass," said Morgan, "and two, I get to make out with Zoe Saldana — which is not a bad thing and not a bad way to spend your afternoon."
Yeah, can't really argue with him on that one.

Meet Natalie Rushman. She's fluent in French, Italian, Russian and Latin, she's held modeling gigs in Tokyo and she's also quite capable in the boxing ring.
Oh, and one more thing — she's a top secret super spy better known as the Black Widow.
Moviefone has posted a new clip from director Jon Favreau's "Iron Man 2" showcasing the unassuming Natalie, played in the film by Scarlett Johansson. In the clip, Johannson's Natalie — also known as Natasha Romanoff — is brought before Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) for the first time, fueling some transparent jealousy on the part of Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow).

Tim Tebow's got lovers and haters everywhere, and the the comics Twittersphere was no exception following his acquisition by the Denver Broncos in the NFL Draft yesterday. Lovers and haters can also be easily found for movies filmed in 3-D these days, and Chris Ryall touched on that point, now that "The Last Airbender" is officially joining the third dimension club.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world may have been aware that Skottie Young was crafting a new webcomic, but his tweet on the subject was news to me. You can check out what he said below, along with Chris Weston's theory on a "Sgt. Rock" film and Ryan Stegman's "Sif" frustrations on Twitter.
It's all documented in the Twitter Report for April 23, 2010. Read More...
