'Amazing Spider-Man,' 'Men In Black 3' Footage Wows At CinemaCon

Posted 4/26/12 4:04 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Men in Black

CinemaCon has brought a lot of comic book movie goodness to the fans out there, and Sony definitely delivered when it came time for their panel.

In a summer with arguably two of the most anticipated superhero movies of all time, "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises," Marc Webb's reboot, "The Amazing Spider-Man," may have the most ground to cover with fans.

For "The Amazing Spider-Man," Sony debuted new footage, in addition to showing off some of the 3-D effects. The sizzle reel was generally well received, with some praising new POV shots in particular. Similar shots had stirred controversy nearly a year ago when the first trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man" premiered.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Viral Campaign Reveals Web-Shooter Design

Posted 4/26/12 2:03 pm EST by in Marvel, News


If you've been keeping up with "The Amazing Spider-Man's" viral campaign, then these latest developments are pretty freaking awesome.

Some dedicated fans have cracked the latest clues teased by Peter Parker's photoblog, parkerspov.com, and have revealed our favorite man-spider's sketches for his mechanical webshooters (you can check out all of them over at SuperHeroHype).

Parker's notes break down the details of the shooters into three categories. There's the "ventral wrist interface," which apparently irritated Parker's skin in early trial uses. Then there's the "intended functionality," which he writes is to act like a second skin. An interesting bit of information from Parker's note here is that the spray unit is meant to only work when his arm's tendons contract in the way displayed in the above picture. And lastly there's the "time for action," which explains that the web shooter can be concealed beneath the lip of a wristwatch with a few modifications.

'Iron Man 3' Is A 'Technological Thriller,' Director Shane Black Says

Posted 4/25/12 12:33 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Iron Man 3

There have been a whole lot of "Iron Man 3" stories on casting recently, and not that much news on the plot front. At yesterday's Disney panel at CinemaCon, director Shane Black shed a little bit of light on what we can expect from the upcoming Marvel flick.

During a sizzle reel presented at the panel, Black called the movie a "technological thriller" and a "crisis movie" set in the world of "international war, arms and terror." He added that the villains in the flick will "put Tony Stark through the wringer" as they explore the trials of being Tony Stark, according to ComingSoon.net. Black didn't elaborate on the villain situation -- Aldrich Killian and Maya Hansen and the Mandarin, oh my! -- but he did say that the big bad in "Iron Man 3" will "frighten in today's world."

Posted 4/25/12 12:04 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Agent Coulson

by Ryan Rigley

Since his first appearance in 2008, Agent Coulson has become a sort of unsung hero of the Marvel movie universe. His increasingly prominent roles in “Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” and now “The Avengers” have continued to expand on the character, not to mention the several Marvel-produced short films in which Coulson is the protagonist.

In a recent interview with Tavis Smiley on PBS, Clark Gregg (who plays Agent Coulson) discussed in great detail what it was like to be on the set of this summer’s most anticipated superhero movie. He also brought along a new clip featuring his character and Steve Rogers (a.k.a. Captain America), played by Chris Evans. See it after the jump!

'Bridesmaids' Director Penned An 'Amazing Spider-Man' Scene

Posted 4/24/12 4:00 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Spider-Man

Paul Feig understands teenagers. This is something that has become a well-known fact ever since his cult TV show "Freaks and Geeks" launched its first and only season back in 1999. The "Bridesmaids" director understands the teenage psyche and what makes them tick, though it's a topic we haven't seen him revisit much in recent years.

Fortunately, that's about to change. In an interview with Vulture at the Tribeca Film Festival, the New York Magazine entertainment website asked Feig which summer movie he is most excited for. It turns out that it's "The Amazing Spider-Man," since he was asked to come in and help write one of the scenes.
