Iron Man, Black Widow, Maria Hill Lead New 'Avengers' Stills

Posted 4/18/12 8:00 am EST by Josh Wigler in Marvel, Photos

Good morning, Splash Page readers! Few better ways to push us through hump day than with some brand new "Avengers" photos, featuring two of Earth's mightiest heroes and one of their bosses, right? Let's get right to it!

Iron Man

Up first is a shot of the Iron Man armor, complete with the triangular arc reactor. With chest thrust out and eyes aglow, Tony Stark's metallic alter-ego certainly looks ready to get down to business… and as we saw in yesterday's electrifying clip, that armor is certainly well equipped to take on the godly powers of the mighty Thor.

New 'Spider-Man' Posters, Marc Webb Interview Swing Into Action

Posted 4/17/12 5:18 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Marvel, News, Posters

Spider-Man

"The Avengers" aren't the only Marvel superheroes worth getting excited over this coming summer. There's also the big-screen reboot of your friendly neighborhood web-slinger to consider: "The Amazing Spider-Man," from "(500) Days of Summer" director Marc Webb.

Today brings a double whammy of Spider-Man goodness: up first is a new international poster for the film, which you can see a little bit of above you, while the full enchilada hangs past the jump. The second awesome Spidey thing: we spoke with Webb as part of our ongoing Summer Movie Preview week! The filmmaker had a lot to say about going 3-D with the new "Spider-Man," the one thing he wanted to preserve from the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire era, and much more.

My favorite portion of the interview, though? Webb's thoughts on what makes Andrew Garfield perfect for Peter Parker. He spoke about the humor and drama the "Social Network" star was able to bring to the role, but also his obsession over Spider-Man's physicality...

James Cameron: 'Avatar' Will Do 'More Good' Than 'Battle Angel'

Posted 4/17/12 4:18 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

James Cameron's long-planned passion project "Battle Angel" is still coming, but we're going to have to wait a very, very long time to see it.

When MTV News caught up with Cameron while he was promoting the re-release of "Titanic" in 3D, we couldn't resist asking about his adaptation of the manga series "Battle Angel Alita." Last we heard he still wanted to make it, but wouldn't be able to start working on it until after he's done with the next two "Avatar" films. Cameron reinforced that now, adding that he's working on the "Avatar" movies first because of the good they can do for the world.

"I see the good the 'Avatar' franchise can do in terms of keeping a world audience cognizant of our relationship with nature, but doing it in an entertainment context," he said. "Ultimately I think there's more good to be done there than with 'Battle Angel.' 'Battle Angel' is just a great, kick ass story."

Nathan Fillion Meets Iron Man, Batman Begins Badly In Today's Tights

Posted 4/17/12 3:00 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Tights

Why isn't Nathan Fillion part of the "Avengers" squad? He's a Joss Whedon veteran, a fan-favorite among the geek crowd, and a perfect pick for plenty of Earth's mightiest heroes, like the oft-rumored Hank Pym. Alas, Fillion's "Avengers" casting was not meant to be (not yet at least), but that doesn't mean you can't see him face off against Iron Man. In fact, you'll see exactly that if you keep reading this week's Tights. (Hooked you, didn't I?)

Find Fillion versus Stark, an update on "Iron Man 3" extras casting and a false start for Batman, when you put your Tights on past the jump.

'Avengers' Stars Debate Strangest Internet Rumors

Posted 4/17/12 2:12 pm EST by Kara Warner in Marvel, News

If you've been following every. single. detail. about "Marvel's The Avengers" like we have, you've very likely stumbled upon an Internet-generated plot rumor or two that seems particularly ridiculous, even more so than the endless Skrull/alien army debate.

We thought it would be fun to cull together a list of plot rumors via the stars themselves, so when MTV News caught up with the cast at last week's world premiere, we asked them to name a few of the most outlandish rumors and/or speculation they'd heard about the plot since being associated with the film.

David Slade's 'Daredevil' Update: There Is No Update

Posted 4/17/12 1:33 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Marvel, News

"30 Days of Night" and "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" director David Slade has been attached to "Daredevil" for more than a year. Since then, we've learned that the movie would take cues from Frank Miller's immensely popular "Born Again" comics. "Fringe" writer Brad Caleb Kane came on board the project last June. Some casting rumors have been floated around as well, most notably one that put "Twilight" vamp Robert Pattinson in the all-red tights. But no official casting yet. Not a whole lot of recent news to speak of at all, really.

And there's apparently a reason for that.

On Twitter, Slade revealed that "there is no real Daredevil update" as yet, with the development process "going slow" at the moment. Though the details behind the film's current status are, in Slade's words, "too boring to print," the director said that most of his time is currently being spent developing "Hannibal," the television adaptation of everyone's favorite man-eating serial killer.

'Dark Knight Rises' Novel Due Out July 20

Posted 4/17/12 1:09 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in DC Comics, News

TDKR

"The Dark Knight Rises" is going to get an official novel, just don't expect it to spoil you before the movie comes out.

Titan Books announced via press release that they'll be releasing the book on July 20, the same day "The Dark Knight Rises" hits theaters. The novel will be written by Greg Cox, who is best known for writing official novelizations for comic book storylines like "Infinite Crisis" and "Countdown."

Even though "The Dark Knight Rises" is based on the "Batman" comics, there are plenty of reasons we're excited to get our hands on this book. Christopher Nolan is a director known for his subtlety, and we can't resist geeking out over every bit of detail about a project we can get.

Secret Identity: Casting Dwight In 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For'

Posted 4/17/12 12:00 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Secret Identity

Dwight A Dame To Kill For

At last we know that Robert Rodriguez does actually plan on making "Sin City 2," and in fact, he plans on making it this summer. "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For" promises the same stylized look and a few recognizable characters.

One character that certainly isn't recognizable is Clive Owen's character from the second part of "Sin City," "The Big Fat Kill," Dwight McCarthy. He appeared in the series' second installment, "A Dame To Kill For" with an entirely different face. It's only after things go bad that we get to see Dwight in his full-Clive Owen glory.

Here are the actors we think could play the original Dwight in "Sin City: A Dame To Kill For."

Iron Man And Thor 'Face Off' In New 'Avengers' Clip

Posted 4/17/12 10:59 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Marvel, News

Avengers

Can't we all just get along? It seems like at least two of the Avengers can't in this new clip featuring Thor and Iron Man. The Norse demigod and the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist face off in this appropriately titled scene from "Marvel's The Avengers." (It's called "The Face Off," get it?)

There's not much context for the clip, but we don't really need much of an excuse to watch Iron Man and Thor beat the crap out of one another. Call us old fashioned though, because we prefer our Avengers as one big (mostly) happy family instead of fighting one another in the woods.

Aaron Eckhart Looks Like Post-Surgery Harvey Dent In First 'I, Frankenstein' Set Photo

Posted 4/17/12 10:26 am EST by Josh Wigler in darkstorm, News

Harvey Dent is dead. Long live... Frankenstein?

Just because his ill-fated Assistant District Attorney died at the hands of — well, exactly whose hands remains a matter of debate I suppose, but the hands of somebody in "The Dark Knight," doesn't mean that Aaron Eckhart's days of working in the comic book movie world are behind him. Not by a longshot.

Indeed, Bruce Campbell's chief rival for the annual Greatest Chin in Hollywood award is fully submerged in the paneled pool once again with "I, Frankenstein," based on the comic book by "Underworld" actor Kevin Grevioux. The film has been shooting in Australia for some time now, and now we've got a first look at Eckhart in full Frankenstein makeup on the set of director Stuart Beattie's new flick.
