'Captain America' Fans Come First For Chris Evans

Posted 7/20/11 11:19 am EST by in Marvel, News


By Whit Shaw

Chris Evans is no stranger to playing the superheroic types – maybe you’ve seen "Fantastic Four," "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," or "The Losers?" Now, with "Captain America: The First Avenger" on the horizon, I’m sure he’s spent more hours in a spandex suit at this point than you or I have spent in any article of clothing, ever.

So what is driving him to take on these power-packed roles? Is it the fulfillment of some childhood fantasy? Is it the spoils and fame he receives off-screen for vanquishing his enemies on-screen? Determined to discover the motive of the man behind the shield, MTV News posed these questions to him. The selfless answer we received was one Steve Rogers himself would have given.

“First and foremost, we need the fans, we owe the fans, the fans are what makes these movies work," Evans said. "These movies get made because they built an audience. If you didn’t have this kind of following and awareness of the property, I don’t think the producers would be as eager to dump all this money into the movies.”

Posted 7/19/11 4:53 pm EST by in News


Captain Planet“Captain Planet” is back! But the eco-friendly superhero won’t be showing up in an animated reboot of the original '90s cartoon. Instead, Cartoon Network and "Transformers" producer Don Murphy and partner Susan Montford's Angry Filmworks are teaming together with "Transformers" producer to make a live action film about the environmentalist hero.

“The messages of Captain Planet are even more relevant today,” said Stuart Snyder, president and COO of Turner Broadcasting System Inc.’s Animation, Young Adults and Kids Media division, in a press release. “We feel this team can bring the world’s first eco-hero to life in a powerful motion picture that is not only pertinent but entertaining.”

Murphy and Montford also expressed their appreciation of the project in the press release.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Teaser Leak, 'Walking Dead' Season 2 And Superman In Today's Twitter Report

Posted 7/19/11 12:30 pm EST by in Twitter Report


The Amazing Spider-ManComic-Con International begins on Wednesday, so of course everyone is tweeting about upcoming comic book movie projects and conveniently leaked teasers. This means that Hollywood publicity people are doing their jobs!

The "Amazing Spider-Man" teaser that slipped out got a relatively warm reception, though P.J. Holden surely isn't the only Spidey reader suffering from origin story fatigue. The "Walking Dead" Season 2 trailer, meanwhile, didn't give anything away about what AMC's got in store, but it was fun to see. Damon Lindelof's thoughts on the show, as well as "Powers" TV info and Mark Waid's frustrations over DC rebooting Superman made the day's top retweets after the jump.

New 'Walking Dead' Poster And Zombie Bust Premiering At Comic-Con

Posted 7/19/11 11:30 am EST by in Image Comics, News


The first "Walking Dead" season two teaser gave us nearly a full minute of brain-exploding action, and with Comic-Con kicking off in San Diego in just a couple of days, it's time to rev up the anti-zombie campaign even further.

To that end, we've got two new pieces of "Walking Dead" media for you to feast on today. Up first is the brand new Comic-Con poster for season two, which shows Rick Grimes and his not-so-merry band of survivors positioned on top of their battered Winnebago, surrounded by a pack of flesh-hungry roamers.

It's a cool enough poster on its own, but the inclusion of Norman Reedus as part of the main cast implies that big things are ahead for everybody's favorite Dixon brother — that can't be anything but a good time (for us at least, potentially very bad for Daryl himself).

'Amazing Spider-Man': Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy Is 'Different' From Comics

Posted 7/19/11 10:45 am EST by in Marvel, News


by Michael Steinkirchner

With an updated plot and a brand new cast, director Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” is no stranger to change. And although this latest Spidey installment won’t swing and sling its way into theaters until next summer, Emma Stone has already nervously revealed some of the details surrounding the highly anticipated Marvel reboot and her character Gwen Stacy.

“Not to freak anybody out, but she’s maybe a little bit different in the movie than she is in the comics, maybe,” the “Easy A” star told MTV News during the "Crazy Stupid Love" junket in New York City last weekend.
