Evan Rachel Wood Dishes On 'Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark'

Posted 3/3/09 1:41 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video


A few weeks back, the rare cross-breed of comics/Broadway geeks got the lowdown on "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" -- the upcoming Spider-Man Broadway musical directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor ("The Lion King") and featuring music composed by Bono and The Edge. (Not surprisingly, it's rumored to be the most expensive production ever to hit NYC's Great White Way.)

MTV News caught up one of the production's stars, Evan Rachel Wood, during this year's Oscars to hear what she had to say about Webhead's Broadway debut.

"We did a small little run-through for Marvel and got their approval," said Wood. "Rehearsals are starting in the fall. It's going to be great." Read More...

'Wolverine' Meets 'Twilight'... For A Song? Hugh Jackman & Robert Pattinson's Karaoke Crossover

Posted 3/3/09 12:01 pm EST by in Marvel


'Wolverine'It's no secret that "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman can carry a tune, but when 2008's "sexiest man alive" puts his pipes to the test against up-and-coming "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, is he the best there is at what he does?

According to E Online, Jackman and Pattinson recently ended up in the same Tokyo bar after finishing up with promotional events for "Australia" and "Twilight," respectively. As any comics fan knows, this type of crossover event should result in their respective characters pitting claws against fangs in a wild brawl... until they both realize they're the good guys and learn a valuable lesson about communication. However, instead of a fight breaking out, the two superpower-savvy stars teamed-up for a song. Read More...

New 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' Promo Shots: Hugh Jackman Goes 'Snikt!'

Posted 2/27/09 12:42 pm EST by in Images, Marvel, News


'Wolverine'A trio of new promo shots for "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" have hit the 'Net, and all three feature a solitary Hugh Jackman being the best there is at what he does -- and apparently, what he does is look like a complete bad-ass.

Last time we saw the "Wolverine" star, he was singing and dancing his way through a musical, comics-themed Oscars introduction that included nods to the night's big winner on the superhero front, "The Dark Knight," as well as "Iron Man" and, of course, a big "Wolverine" finale. While the latest images (posted on X-Men movie site XMF) don't seem to reveal anything new about the much-anticipated solo debut of Marvel's favorite Canucklehead, they do offer up a few more quality shots of the character Fox hopes to spin off into yet another comics-friendly franchise. (After the jump, check out two of the images in full-size format.) Read More...

'Iron Man 2’ Casting Roundup: Sam Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Tim Robbins... Who's In, Who's Out?

Posted 2/26/09 4:49 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Marvel, News


'Iron Man'The last few weeks have been filled with back-and-forth on the "Iron Man 2” movie news front, from stars being added to, subtracted from, or campaigning for roles in the sequel to Marvel's 2008 blockbuster, to various bits of "Iron Man 2” story and character info randomly popping up around the 'Net. With that in mind, we thought this would be a good time to slow down, catch our collective breath and take a more concentrated look at what we know about director Jon Favreau's current lineup for the much-anticipated follow-up -- and find out if putting the pieces together gives us a better look at the "Iron Man 2” puzzle.

Read on for a breakdown of casting news, relevant story points and some "fact or rumor" analysis of Robert Downey Jr.'s potential cast members when he returns to the Iron Man armor. Read More...

Samuel L. Jackson Says Yes To Long-Term Marvel Deal As Nick Fury

Posted 2/25/09 8:15 pm EST by in Marvel


'Samuel L. Jackson'Tight pockets and lowball money offers have reportedly stalled several Marvel Studios negotiations recently, including deals with fellow Oscar nominees Samuel L. Jackson and Mickey Rourke. Getting Jackson to reprise his "Iron Man" cameo role as Nick Fury, the Marvel Universe’s Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., will no longer be a problem, however, as the actor has now signed a deal to return in at least nine future Marvel films.

The agreement includes a return for "Iron Man 2" and future superhero installments, according to Variety. With Marvel Studios projects including a franchise line-up of "The First Avenger: Captain America," "Thor" and "The Avengers,” the tracks are already laid out for Jackson to rival Stan Lee as the most frequently seen face in films based on Marvel comics. Sequels to all of those releases, as well as a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie that he would presumable star in, make the deal appear lucrative, though the dollar value of the contract has not been disclosed.

Brian Bendis Explains His Role In 'Thor' Movie, Likes Kenneth Branagh's 'Buzzwords'

Posted 2/25/09 2:10 pm EST by in Marvel, News


'Thor'Just because Brian Michael Bendis won't be penning the upcoming "Thor" film doesn't mean the resident architect of the Marvel universe doesn't have a stake in bringing the property Midgard-side. After a much-discussed meeting with "Thor" director Kenneth Branagh alongside Marvel's Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada last week, Bendis told MTV News he's a true believer -- and that the director has hit enough Asgardian source material to understand what fans are looking for.

"It was very cool to see that he got it. We walked in the room and he said all the right words," said Bendis, who related the meeting to his own experiences establishing comics cred. "When I'm on a panel, there will be a buzzword I'll say that I know will make a real Avengers fan think, 'Okay, he's read it -- he knows.' That's definitely what we saw Kenneth Branagh do."
