Marvel released a new International Poster for The Wolverine. Not as good as the watercolor poster but I like it.

An article on CinemBlend says Alan Cummings has expressed interest in reprising his role as Nightcrawler saying “It was funny, that film, because I really like it and everyone really responded to Nightcrawler and enough time has elapsed that I would like to go back to it.”

The writer of the article doesn’t know his Nightcrawler that well because continuity could still be used to make Nightcrawler Mystique’s son. Since she tried to kill him at birth he didn’t know Mystique was his mother for quite some time. The conversation in X2 could still stand as he just thinks he’s talking to another mutant and she could be thinking “he looks like that kid of mine who I killed…. ooooo….”

In any case, as Alan points out, if they wanted him they would have said something by now in all likelihood. Maybe if DOFP does well the sequel to it could find a place for either Alan!Nightcrawler or a young!Nightcrawler. He is a pretty awesome character, a fan favorite!

CinemaBlend points out that there is evidence that Singer is all over the 48 frames per second Peter Jackson used in the Hobbit and may be eyeing this for Days of Future Past. I haven’t seen a 48fps movie yet but… I do know that the US and the UK film their tv shows on two different fps which is why when you watch an older british tv show before they were better at fixing this for US dvd release it looks… well… flat. Apparently a lot of critics had the same thing to say about The Hobbit.

As the article points out there is still time for ‘the kinks’ to be worked out but I’m a bit wary of this as sometimes it takes a long time for this to happen and Singer will start filming next year.

As for the 3D, this is no surprise, everyone wants 3D right in Hollywood because of the inflated pricing. X-Men, though, could be a decent film to see in 3D due to the mutant powers and three-story tall Sentinels. Let’s just hope that he actually films in 3D and not a crappy conversion. Personally, I’ll see the 2D version anyway cause I can’t see 3D very well.

CinemaBlend reports Fox has given a release date for the new Fantastic Four reboot. It will hit early, March 6th, 2015, likely attempting to get a jump on Avengers 2 and the Justice league movie.

I will say this… this new Fantastic Four doesn’t have a very high bar to be held against considering the last outing… and the one before that which never actually made it onto the screen.

From ComicBookMovie:

Marvel’s  International Vice President, Nigel Cook, took to a convention in Italy, dubbed  the “Professional Cinema Days in Sorrento,” to present the first bit of (raw)  footage from next year’s much-anticipated Thor: The Dark World film. And  roughly-translated descriptions, courtesy of @Thor2Fans and @vingadoresdepre via Lavik Web Magazine, ScreenWEEK and Primissima, have surfaced dishing out a few  spoilers for the Alan Taylor-directed Marvel sequel. Check them out!

“In the preview, a voice-over is heard with the oath of the God of  Thunder as the new supreme ruler. We see a clash between Thor and the enemy  army, in a world that is neither Asgard let alone the Earth. We see Chris Hemsworth wielding his hammer and Tom Hiddleston as Loki first wounded without a  helmet, with long, loose hair and then imprisoned; his anger increasingly  desperate and irrational.

Then there’s a scene later in which he is free again,  but still furious. Against the backdrop of a forest, in the middle of a  clearing, among the dust, we in fact face off anthropomorphic creatures, but  also a big “gorilla” krosan tusker: a rather alien fauna varies so, although not  extreme in size (there are also some envoys/ambassadors of a people mysterious, with oval face and black eyes, elongated and sunken)

The rest of the  images show glimpses of Asgard, with Anthony Hopkins as Odin and Natalie Portman  in clothes that seem more like a princess; an Asgardian princess. In between,  there are images of an epic battle on horseback, who seems to have left an epic  cloak-and-dagger. The threat to the Asgardians is certainly a  new alien race  pale (now identified as the dark elves).

A black spaceship shaped  irregularly looks like a serious threat to Asgard. More sequences show Natalie  Portman then alongside Thor lying on the ground, probably overwhelmed in a  clash.”

After the clips were shown, Nigel Cook reassured  the audience that Thor: The Dark World begins and ends on Earth. And he  added that the sets built for the sequel were the largest ever built for a  Marvel Studios movie. Cook apparently also expressed concern that the film  may not receive the same attention as Marvel’s first outing next year, Iron  Man 3, which the executive says takes place a year after the events of Marvel’s The Avengers.

If this tweet by Bryan Singer is anything to be believed… we have our opening for X-Men: Days of Future Past:

It’s come out today that it seems both Stewart and McKellen, who were previously reported as being in Days of Future Past, actually know nothing about it. The report comes from Entertainment Weekly but SuperHeroHype has all the details for both stories.

While I find McKellen’s thoughts credible, i.e., there was talk about him coming back, he says he’d do it, Singer assumed that still stood when he made the announcement.

But Stewart? Back in September there was an article on CinemaBlend where Stewart teases that he’ll be ‘reprising’ and then gets cut off before he says what role but it was in conjunction to a discussion involving the X-Men. Sounds to me like Stewart was at least in the same boat as McKellen, if not a lot more sure about a possible role in the film.

Could Stewart be playing it off? I can’t see why. Unlike, say, Marion Cotillard hiding the fact she’s Talia (which no one believed she was playing anyone other than her), there is a legitimate attempt to secure a plot point. There is nothing like that here. The only reason might be is if Stewart is trying not to sound either too excited, too needy, or too smug.

Whatever the reasons, I’m sure we’ll be seeing both men return to DOFP and it will be confirmed in the next few months.

Everyone is reporting that apparently the villain of the upcoming Justice League movie will be… wait for it… Darkseid.

I’ll post to Bleeding Cool because I like what they have to say:

As far as I can see, Darkseid and Marvel’s Thanos seem like pretty similar characters – at least as far as the big two’s “Rogues Galleries” go. Will these Justice League plans see both reaching the silver screen in 2015? Have Warner Bros. inadvertently doomed themselves to looking like a bit of a rip off?

That’s what I thought too.

As a friend of mine pointed, Marvel built up to Thanos. There was the individual movies, then Loki busted a move and got them all motivated in Avengers. Now that they are working together, the big guns of Thanos are let out.

Why doesn’t Justice League do something similar? Are they thinking nothing short of Darkseid can get these guys working together? Are they thinking it will take nothing short of Darkseid to combat Marvel’s Avengers?

WB, sweetie, just so you know, there is enough love for both Marvel and DC out there… don’t worry about trying to compete… just make a darn good movie!

Reports from ComicBookMovie show that while Hugh Jackman hasn’t officially been signed on to be in Days of Future Past, he is in talks. This makes me wonder why he’s ‘still in talks’ while McKellen and Stewart are already signed in. Could it be that this role is going to be more than a walk-on cameo and therefore they need to work out pay, schedule, etc? This would lead creadence to my thoughts that Wolverine may be the time traveler instead of the Kitty Pryde.

Apparently he ‘hasn’t read the script’ yet according to this article noting that the man is getting a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (go Hugh!). If it’s just a cameo, would he really need to know that much about the script? Did he bother to read all of First Class or did Vaughn just tell him “Okay, so, Xavier and Magneto are out recruiting mutants, I have an idea for a scene where they walk up to you, try to introduce themselves, you tell them to f-off, it’ll be hillarious”.

UPDATE: here is a video of him saying to MTV that he hasn’t read the script yet and he is a bit cagey which means to me that there is likely more than just a cameo going on
