Posted 1/17/12 2:00 pm EST by in Marvel


After winning a Golden Globe for his starring role on "Luther," Idris Elba is finally getting the official recognition he's deserved ever since his days on "The Wire." It's finally safe to say that keeping busy won't be a problem.

Speaking to MTV News, Elba talked about his upcoming involvement with the Marvel Universe -- in case you forgot, he played the Norse god Heimdall in "Thor." According to him, a return to Asgard will happen with "Thor 2," if not sooner.

"'Thor 2' for sure," he told us. "'Avengers,' we're not sure about, but 'Thor 2' we're going at it again."

Posted 8/12/11 8:39 am EST by in Marvel


Don't get distracted by that hairy-chested Hulk filming "The Avengers" in New Mexico, because Guillermo del Toro wants you to know that there's another Hulk on the way.

The last time MTV News heard anything about del Toro's planned "Hulk" TV series was back in June when he said that he and "Battlestar Galactica" executive producer David Eick had turned in an outline for the show a month before. When MTV caught up with the "Pacific Rim" director recently, he confirmed that his plans for the show are still underway.

"David Eick and I are hard at work," he assured us. "We've gone through a lot of iterations with the ABC project and we're very happy where we are right now. We're just waiting for the green light to go to pages."

Posted 6/29/11 12:14 pm EST by in Marvel, News


DESCThe Hulk seems to have no shortage of fans these days. Besides appearing in “The Avengers,” the previously announced "Hulk" television series is moving forward, according to producer Guillermo Del Toro.

It was first announced last year that “Hellboy” director Guillermo del Toro and “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer David Eick were planning to bring the Hulk back to the small screen. Now that some months have passed, Fear Net asked Del Toro if “Hulk” was still happening.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” the director responded. “We turned in the outline to ABC about four weeks ago. And then we did a rewrite for ABC on the outline, and now we are lining up the pages.” Read More...

Posted 3/21/11 6:28 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Lists, Marvel


The WolverineNow that Darren Aronofsky is no longer directing "The Wolverine," the field is wide open for another filmmaker interested in tackling Logan's second solo adventure.

Way back in September 2010, before Aronofsky was confirmed for the gig, we suggested five directors we thought would be good for the project (he was one of them). In the months that since, we've learned more about the film and, well... let's just say it's time to revise our list.

After much debate around Splash Page HQ, we've come up with a list of five filmmakers we'd like to see behind the camera when Wolverine heads to Japan. Read More...

Guillermo Del Toro Will Tell You The 'Hellboy 3' Story... If You Can Find Him!

Posted 9/30/10 2:59 pm EST by in Dark Horse, News, Video


At this point, we're not exactly holding our breath for Guillermo Del Toro to make "Hellboy 3," the much-discussed but unlikely finale to the filmmaker's planned "Hellboy" trilogy.

However, that doesn't stop us from asking the director about it every chance we get. For example, when he dropped by MTV News HQ recently to discuss his new horror novel "The Fall," we made sure to sneak in a few questions about "Hellboy 3" and whether we'd ever see the story he planned for the film in any form — whether it be live-action, animated, or even as a standalone comic book.

"Mike [Mignola] had a very wise position," Del Toro told MTV News. "He said, 'Look, we have the animated universe, we have the comic book universe, and we have the movie universe, and we have managed to keep them all separate. The rules that we have created don't mix. To bring the movie Hellboy into comics is to confuse the mythology. I would like that to stay in the movies." Read More...

Guillermo Del Toro Would Love To Do 'Hellboy 3,' But Doesn't Want Franchise To End

Posted 8/17/10 9:42 am EST by in Dark Horse, News


Earlier this year. director Guillermo del Toro left the long-awaited adaptation of "The Hobbit," fueling speculation that he might return to the "Hellboy" film franchise sooner than he had previously stated.

However, when asked by MTV News about his "Hellboy" plans, del Toro seemed to indicate that its fate rested in the hands of Ron Perlman, the actor who starred in the title role under several layers of makeup; a process which Perlman apparently dislikes.

"You know, I think that everyone should ask Ron [Perlman]," said del Toro. "I had dinner with [Perlman] last night. He said 'six hours [in the makeup chair], what do you want?'" And he's doing 'Sons of Anarchy' without makeup. He's spoiled! He likes to be the big cheese without the makeup session." Read More...
