Mark Ruffalo Will Read 'Avengers' Script Next Week, Teases Hulk's Role

Posted 11/30/10 4:01 pm EST by in Marvel


The new face of Bruce Banner, Mark Ruffalo, is rapidly approaching his debut as Hulk's human alter ego — but don't expect the actor to reveal too many details about his role in 2012's superhero team-up extravaganza "The Avengers."

When MTV News snagged a few minutes with Ruffalo at this week's Gotham Awards, we asked him about rumors that Hulk would be the villain in "Avengers," and whether he's hulking out for his upcoming turn as Marvel's green goliath.

"I've been walking past the mirror and doing some of my Hulk moves," joked Ruffalo. "I'm getting there." Read More...

Bono Says He's Green Goblin, The Edge Is Spider-Man

Posted 11/30/10 11:01 am EST by in Marvel


The "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" musical had a rough debut this week, but even a questionable turn on Broadway isn't likely to hurt the 48-year-old character's popularity. The story of Peter Parker's evolution into one of the greatest superheroes in the Marvel Universe has long resonated with hardcore comics fans and mainstream audiences alike — and the occasional rock star, too.

When MTV News sat down with U2 bandmates Bono and The Edge to discuss "Turn Off The Dark," the pair both saw some similarities between Spidey's story and their own lives.

"He grow up in Queens, we grew up on the north side of Dublin, [we both had] fairly humble origins," Bono told MTV News. "He falls in love with the girl next door, I married the girl next door. He starts to put on a silly costume, yes..." Read More...

'Smallville' Season 10, Episode 10 Preview: 'Luthor'

Posted 11/30/10 10:01 am EST by in DC Comics


SmallvilleThis week's "Smallville" offers up a classic "good Clark, bad Clark" story when Clark Kent (Tom Welling) accidentally changes places with his counterpart in an alternate universe. The catch? The alternate-universe Clark was raised by Lionel Luthor instead of the Kent family.

Titled "Luthor," the December 3 episode features the directorial debut of longtime "Smallville" producer Kelly Souders, who gets behind the camera. The episode was written by regular "Smallville" scribe Bryan Q. Miller, who also authors DC's ongoing "Batgirl" comic book series, as well as other projects on the print side of the DC Universe.

Last week we posted a bunch of images from the new "Smallville" episode, and now The CW has released a new teaser, too. Read More...

Joe Quesada Won't Confirm 'Hulk' TV Series, Says Marvel TV 'Has To Kick Major Ass'

Posted 11/29/10 4:31 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Joe QuesadaAlthough Guillermo Del Toro and David Eick have both confirmed their work on a new "Hulk" television project, the series isn't officially official yet — at least not according to Joe Quesada.

The Marvel Entertainment chief creative officer spoke with Comic Book Resources about the company's upcoming plans for Marvel TV. When asked about rumors of the new "Hulk" show and a possible "Cloak and Dagger" series on ABC Family, Quesada declined to comment on "anything that we haven't formally announced or on anything in the rumor mill."

That said, Quesada did have plenty of thoughts to share on the overall goals of Marvel TV, including the thought processes that go into deciding which Marvel characters are best suited for a television series. Read More...

Bono And The Edge Praise Spider-Man Musical, Explain Connection Between Comics And Music

Posted 11/29/10 2:59 pm EST by in Marvel


After countless setbacks, controversies, and casting changes, "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" premiered on Broadway this weekend for preview audiences. And though Spidey's debut on Broadway wasn't exactly spectacular, that doesn't mean U2 bandmates Bono and The Edge have anything but high praise for the mesh of comics and rock music found in "Turn Off The Dark."

In an interview conducted last week, the musicians elaborated on the connections between rock music and graphic novels, and the various ways they're describing the ambitious collaboration between themselves and "Turn Off The Dark" director Julie Taymor.

"There's always been a thing with punk rock bands and comics," Bono told MTV News. "It's always been there. Even The Ramones, who are also from Queens like Peter Parker and Mary Jane, they covered the theme to Spider-Man." Read More...

'Ghost Rider' Sequel To Introduce Danny Ketch?

Posted 11/29/10 1:14 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Ghost RiderSome new photos from the Romania set of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" have emerged online, once again showing Nicolas Cage reprising his role as flame-headed avenger Johnny Blaze for the superhero sequel.

The images first debuted on Romanian site Libertatea, showing Cage in multiple poses as he tinkers with his motorcycle and points at the camera. But Cage isn't the most interesting person in these photos — that distinction belongs to the kid he's riding with, if certain rumors are to be believed.

Although the young actor's name isn't known, it's believed that the child seen riding with Cage's Blaze is the very same kid who is supposedly the son of The Devil, played in the film by Ciaran Hinds. More importantly is the rumor that this character is none other than Danny Ketch, well known to Marvel Comics fans as the third character to use the Ghost Rider name. Read More...

Marc Guggenheim Talks 'Halcyon' Comic, Says 'Resurrection' Movie Has 'A-List Director' Interested

Posted 11/29/10 12:01 pm EST by in Image Comics, interviews, Oni Press


HalcyonWay back in June 2009, we gave you an early peek at "Resurrection," writer Marc Guggenheim's comic book series that followed a small group of human survivors in the aftermath of an alien invasion. One of the co-writers on the upcoming "Green Lantern" movie, Guggenheim was simultaneously scripting the Oni Press comic and a screenplay for a live-action "Resurrection" movie when MTV News spoke with him last year.

This month, Guggenheim's brand new comic book series "Halcyon" hit shelves, and just like "Resurrection," it also deals with the aftermath of some big events in the world. Guggenheim's first co-writing project with his wife, "Halcyon" explores the question of what the world's superheroes do when the battle for truth, justice, and everything else, well... ends.

I spoke to Guggenheim last month to get some background on "Halcyon," to find out whether there's also a movie in the works for this new title, and to get a status report on the "Resurrection" movie. Read More...
