Captain AmericaIf you're worried that the lack of a "Captain America" trailer so far means that Marvel Studios isn't happy with the film, Joe Johnston has some good news for you: after watching a first cut of the film, the director has declared that his movie is "a helluva lot of fun to watch."

“I watched the movie for the first time a few days ago and I just looked at the first cut and there is so much entertainment value," he said in an interview with Hero Complex. "It’s just flat-out fun to watch.”

Naturally, Johnston isn't without some bias towards "Captain America" considering that he, you know, directed the film. That said, Johnston acknowledges his bias and says he still thinks Cap is a winner. Read More...

Michael FassbenderAs the most powerful foe the X-Men have ever faced, Magneto is a man with some big shoes to fill. It doesn't help that he was played to perfection by Ian McKellen in the original "X-Men" trilogy, leaving Michael Fassbender with a daunting task in taking on the role for the upcoming "X-Men: First Class."

"Hopefully I won't disappoint the fan base out there, because I know that what Ian McKellen did sort of latched onto a lot of imaginations and was very successful," the actor said in an interview with MSN.

But just like his co-star James McAvoy isn't paying too much mind to Patrick Stewart's previous performance as Charles Xavier, Fassbender is looking to bring his own unique take to the Master of Magnetism. Read More...

Over a month has passed since we received an update from Darren Aronofsky on "The Wolverine," the "Black Swan" director's forthcoming comic book film that allegedly has nothing to do with the adamantium-laced mutant's last cinematic outings, save for the involvement of returning star Hugh Jackman.

But that doesn't mean that Aronofsky isn't still plugging away at his non-sequel. The filmmaker spoke with MTV News on the red carpet at the Golden Globe awards this weekend and said that he's hard at work on the project, even though he's still in the midst of promoting his current award-winning film.

Bad news for those of you hoping that Jon Hamm was a viable candidate to star in Zack Snyder's "Superman" reboot, we're afraid. The "Mad Men" actor spoke with MTV News on the red carpet at this past weekend's Critics Choice awards and confirmed that he is not in the running for the Man of Steel's silver screen revival.

"No," he said when asked if he was ever considered for Superman. "No, and I have talked to Zack quite a bit. We had some looping and reshoots and stuff to do on 'Sucker Punch,' but I think that's a young man's game. I think I've aged out of that one by now." Read More...

Wonder WomanDon't worry, "Wonder Woman" fans. Even though the character's planned small screen revival has been sidelined for now, producer and writer David E. Kelley is convinced that the show will go on.

Kelley told The Hollywood Reporter that even though the project failed to land at a network this year, "Wonder Woman" could still find its way to television viewers as soon as next year.

"I think the likelihood is we'll see it next year," he said. "I'm being optimistic but I don't think I'm being unrealistic." Read More...

Green HornetAfter going through years of development and numerous casting and crew changes, director Michel Gondry and Seth Rogen's "The Green Hornet" is finally here.

More than that, "The Green Hornet" is good. Very good, in fact. After catching a screening of the film earlier this week, I walked away much more impressed with the end result than I ever imagined at the outset.

Captain AmericaThis, my friends, is what we call a very busy day. Not only has Sony Pictures Entertainment released the very first official photo of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker in the forthcoming "Spider-Man" reboot, but we're also getting another good look at a different Marvel Comics icon.

Comic Book Movie posted a scan from a new issue of Entertainment Weekly that features Chris Evans in all of his star-spangled glory as Steve Rogers in "Captain America." It's not our very first look at Evans as Cap, and even though the picture quality is grainy, it's still probably our best glimpse yet at what the actor is going to look like when the film arrives later this year.
