Dr. Strange

by Brett White

Now that it's in theaters, "Iron Man 3" is old news. We want some new information! We want to hear about new projects! Out with the old, in with whatever new thing Kevin Feige wants to talk about! Luckily the president of Marvel Studios likes talking about new things just as much as we love reading about them, as evidenced in two recent articles over at Collider. In them, Feige drops a few more hints about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically about the progress of the long-awaited-ish "Doctor Strange" and the highly-anticipated TV series, "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." When asked about the good doctor's progress, Feige revealed that they're ready to get to work on the film now that "Iron Man 3" has been shepherded into theaters.

"'Dr. Strange' is something that I talk about often and it's sort of next up for us to dig into and explore. Our executive producer of 'Iron Man 3,' having done 'Captain America: The First Avenger' and as that was finishing he started working on the bones that would become 'Iron Man 3,' and now that he’s finished with 'Iron Man 3,' he’s working on the bones that would become 'Doctor Strange.' Now that 'Iron Man 3' is finished, some of our quote-unquote spare time is going to be devoted to trying to crack 'Strange.'"

Man of Steel

The marketing for "Man of Steel" continues to get better and better as we get closer to the movie's release date. Following yesterday's poster, a new TV spot has been released that teases Superman's journey in the upcoming movie.

Like the poster, the spot focuses on the titular Man of Steel's flight and how awesome it is. One shot in particular, where Superman zooms by and is followed by some government planes, is especially effective and foreboding. Trailers for "Man of Steel" have shown time and again that Superman doesn't have an easy time ingratiating himself with the US government after he comes out as a superhero, and that is definitely teased in this shot.

Avengers

Don't think that "Iron Man 3" will be the last you'll see of Tony Stark any time soon. During a new interview with Super Hero Hype, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed the character will be a "big part" of "The Avengers 2."

"We’re not developing 'Iron Man 4.' Currently, as you may imagine, Iron Man is a big part of 'Avengers 2' and that’s what we’re focusing on and what Joss [Whedon] is focusing on. So where we go after that remains to be seen, but certainly, 'Avengers 2' being the next appearance, the next storyline for Iron Man," Feige told Super Hero Hype.

Gamora

by Brett White

Everyone can relax. Zoe Saldana has confirmed her involvement in "Guardians of the Galaxy." The actress was previously reported as being in "final talks" to star as Gamora in next year's Marvel movie, and even though that's code for "pretty much a done deal," we really didn't want to get our hopes up and then dashed. Zoe Saldana is the perfect choice for Gamora, and her involvement only makes us that much more excited for the film.

The confirmation comes from a pair of just-released videos, one coming from the world premiere of "Star Trek Into Darkness." In it, Saldana confirms her involvement, saying that director James Gunn approached her about being in the film.

"I didn't know about the comic, as I normally am clueless that way. My sister sort of informed me of it, I read the script and i was blown away with it."

Iron Man 3

by Brett White

"Iron Man 3" has already dominated the box office overseas, shattering records and raking in over $307 million before even opening in the United States. The film's already claimed opening day records in Taiwan, the Philippines, and China.

But where will "Iron Man 3" land when the dust clears on Monday morning? Box Office Mojo's Ray Subers thinks that the threequel is on track for a $177 million opening weekend domestically, which would top "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" and make it the second-highest opening ever. But what's keeping Tony Stark from taking the top spot?

Alexander Skarsgard

"The Crow" hasn't landed just yet.

Following Monday's news that reports of "The Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston's involvement had been greatly exaggerated, Deadline noted that the lead role was, in fact, "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgård's for the taking. So when we caught up with the strapping Swedish actor at a press event for his upcoming drama "What Maisie Knew," we had to ask if there was any validity to the rumors.

"No, I'm not attached to anything right now after 'True Blood,'" Skarsgård said, choosing his words carefully.

The 36-year-old did, however, have kind things to say about the 1994 original starring Brandon Lee.

Don Cheadle returns for another go as James Rhodes in "Iron Man 3", bringing Tony Stark's best friend to life both inside and outside of the suit. The actor spoke to MTV News about his on-screen chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. and how "Iron Man 3" is filled with more banter-iffic moments like those seen in the climax of "Iron Man 2."

"This was just more of it," says Cheadle, "more opportunity for us to bust each others' chops. Being the conscience for Tony is kind of what Rhodey provides, and Tony for Rhodey kind of provides someone who is trying to get him out of his shell, so to speak."

"Ant-Man" is slated for a 2015 release, but it's going to need a makeover before then. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly that the original "Ant-Man" script needs to be rewritten so it will match with the current Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity.

"Frankly, now we have to re-write it to put it a little bit more into the [Marvel Cinematic Universe] because it was written before it existed," Feige said, via Comic Book Movie. "We’ve talked about various names [to play the lead] over the past eight years but as you can imagine they keep changing as time goes by. But towards the end of this year, we’ll buckle down and start casting and start refining the script, which is great and which is very Edgar."

He continued to praise director Edgar Wright, saying, "He has done a great job being incredibly true to the comics but is putting his own spin on it, so we’ll be drawing on multiple mythologies for this one."

Man of Steel

by Brett White

"Man of Steel" posters have been few and far between, especially compared to "Iron Man 3" and "The Wolverine," two movies that have released enough posters to cover a college dorm room at least twice over. But thanks to Yahoo Movies, there's finally a "Man of Steel" poster that shows off Superman doing something.

The previous two posters have found Supes either cast in deep shadow or sporting handcuffs. This new poster, which shows Superman taking flight in a dynamic action pose, certainly reinforces the film's new exhilarating tone, first shown in the most recent and uplifting trailer. This is a poster for a superhero movie.

Check out the full poster below.
