'Guardians Of The Galaxy': Zoe Saldana Confirms She's Going Green

Posted 5/3/13 12:03 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video

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' Interview: Don Cheadle Buddies Up With Robert Downey Jr.

Posted 5/2/13 4:00 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

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."

'Iron Man 3': Ben Kingsley Stayed In 'The Box' With Robert Downey Jr.

Posted 5/2/13 8:00 am EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

Mandarin

by Brett White

Robert Downey Jr. has become known for delivering performances that are equal parts charismatic and naturalistic; the man doesn't just portray characters, he embodies them. And after three outings as Tony Stark, the actor is no doubt incredibly comfortable in the role in "Iron Man 3." Some actors might find going toe-to-toe with the Downey in his element intimidating, but not Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley. No, the two of them hit it off magnificently. Kingsley talked to MTV News about working with Downey.

"Robert never strays off dialogue," says Kingsley. "His gift is to make the written word look utterly spontaneous. Very little, if anything, is thrown at the other actor that isn't in the script... I think [ Downey] calls [the script] the box, but you play inside it. You don't play outside of it."

Check out the full interview after the jump, and prepare yourself mentally for when "Iron Man 3" bursts onto the big screen this Friday, May 3rd.

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals How 'Iron Man 3' Is A Different Film

Posted 5/1/13 2:40 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

There was one big behind-the-scenes change made for "Iron Man 3," and Gwyneth Paltrow reveals that it greatly benefited the film. "We had a complete screenplay when we started, and it was great," says Paltrow. "The other two movies, we were writing as we were going; we were improvising the whole thing. It was a much more difficult process."

Paltrow's not knocking previous director Jon Favreau, as she clarifies in the full clip below. New director Shane Black and writer Drew Pearce definitely took advantage of lead time that wasn't exactly available to Favreau, and cranked out a dense, thematically rich script that gets high praise from Paltrow. You can check out the entire clip below.

'Wolverine': CinemaCon Trailer Shows Off Silver Samurai

Posted 5/1/13 2:05 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video

Silver Samurai

by Brett White

Move over General Zod, there's a new bad guy in town. "The Wolverine's" Silver Samurai. And no, he doesn't do some iconic caterwauling in this new trailer from CinemaCon, but he does steal every scene he's in (all combined two seconds of them!). The Samurai looks appropriately menacing and visual interesting in the still above, and I personally can't wait to see him mix it up with Hugh Jackman on the big screen.

This new trailer is almost completely comprised of never-before-seen footage from this summer's sole mutant movie. It has as much, if not more, ninja action as the Japanese trailer and sheds a lot more light on scenes set-up in the initial two trailers. There's more Yukio, more Yakuza and a lot less talking. Check out the trailer below.

'Arrow': New Clip Shows The Queens Before Shipwreck

Posted 5/1/13 1:25 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, TV, Video

by Ryan Rigley

As anyone who watches the CW's "Arrow" could tell you, the series is chock full of flashbacks to Oliver Queen's time stranded on the island of Lian Yu. Therefore, it's no surprise to see that this sneak peak from tonight's episode of "Arrow" is indeed another flashback.

However, unlike all of the other island flashbacks that we've seen this season, this particular flashback takes place before Robert Queen and his son have set sail on the Queen's Gambit. Hell, it even takes place before the boat crashes! Check out the clip below.

'Man Of Steel' Exclusive Interview: How Michael Shannon Became General Zod

Posted 5/1/13 11:45 am EST by in DC Comics, interviews, News, Video

by Brett White

"Man of Steel's" Michael Shannon is shaping up to become the breakout star of the summer. His shouting General Zod has to be one of the highlights of a trailer filled with highlights, and he's even become an internet sensation thanks to his dramatic reading of an incredibly NSFW sorority letter for Funny or Die. With a lead role in this summer's Superman film, Shannon's poised to join the bad guy big leagues. But just how did Shannon land the role of General Zod?

"I got a phone call," Shannon tells MTV News' Josh Horowitz. "They said 'Zack Snyder wants you to play General Zod in 'Man of Steel.' I'm like, 'I don't believe you.'" To find out more about the phone call that created Zod, check out the full interview below.

'Iron Man 3': Don Cheadle Reveals The Downside To Being An Iron Man

Posted 5/1/13 9:15 am EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

You can tell just by looking at the Iron Man armors that they aren't the most comfortable things to wear. They're big, bulky and because of the name "Iron Man," it can't really be made out of a real breathable or flexible material. Don Cheadle gave MTV News the lowdown on suiting up as James Rhodes for "Iron Man 3," even detailing a few of the nuisances that come with playing Tony Stark's best friend.

"Guys, you didn't get this more refined?," says Cheadle, recalling what he said upon wearing his new armor. "It still weights this much? I still can't articulate the arms and touch my face?" The actor goes on to discuss Gwyneth Paltrow's role in the film and how Rhodes and Tony Stark relate to each other in the new film.

Amazing Spider-Man 2

by Brett White

The "Amazing Spider-Man 2" crew have been busy over the last few days, with their shooting schedule taking them through seemingly corporate boardrooms of vague ownership and out onto the streets of Manhattan (or rather their elaborate recreation, located outside of New York City). Director Marc Webb has been documenting the proceedings via his Twitter feed, at times being augmented by onlookers capturing set videos. You can check out the tweets and photos below, as well as a set video of Spider-Man and Electro's possible first encounter.

Ben Kingsley Talks 'Iron Man 3's' Tender Side

Posted 4/30/13 2:15 pm EST by in interviews, Marvel, News, Video

by Brett White

Casting Sir Ben Kingsley as Iron Man's greatest foe, the Mandarin, added a much-desired level of gravitas to "Iron Man 3." You want someone capable of going head-to-head against Robert Downey Jr. in the first Marvel film after last summer's "The Avengers"? You go with an Oscar winner. Kingsley talked to MTV News about what attracted him to the film, mentioning that the beautifully written script helped convince him to play in the Marvel Universe.

"The rhythm and twists and turns of the writing and how it alternates high action and peril against vulnerability and sweetness, and tenderness, I think is brilliant."

You can check out more of Kingsley's thoughts on "Iron Man 3's" script in the interview below.
