The Wolverine Not Connected To X-men Origins

Critics and fans see X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a joke and do not take it seriously. That is why the new and upcoming Wolverine movie will not mention nor will it have any connection to X-Men Origins.

The news comes from Hugh Jackman himself during and interview with Total Film. “We’ve deliberately not called it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and feel like a standalone picture,”says Jackman. “With an all-new cast and setting it in Japan, it’s going to give us a whole new visual aesthetic.”

Jackman continues to say that The Wolverine will focus completely on Wolverine and will not have a big cast of other mutants.

The Wolverine is expected to be out in theatres on July 26, 2013.

Iron Patriot In Iron Man 3

Earlier this month James Badge Dale joined the Iron Man 3 cast as the movie's main villain, but his role in the movie was unknown. But today the website Superficial has caught glimpses of Dale in his costume...the Iron Patriot costume.

James Badge Dale will be playing as the Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3 according to these photos taken by the Superficial in North Carolina. Originally it was thought that Badge would be playing Coldblood considering his character in Iron Man 3 is Eric Savin, but now he will be playing Norman Osborn's alter-ego The Iron Patriot.

The Iron Patriot first appeared during the Dark Reign event in which Norman Osborn was in charge of H.A.M.M.E.R. and took on the role of Iron Man by replicating his suit and combining it with the symbolism of Captain America. Unfortunately it won't be Osborn as Iron Patriot due to the fact that Sony has right to the movie character.

Loki Won't Be The Main Villain In Thor 2

A new villain will be making his debut appearance for the Marvel Movie Universe in Thor 2 as Kevin Feige gives us a little insight on the movie, oh and the villain isn't Thanos.

“No, future, future,” Feige said of Thanos’ movie involvement. “But there will be a major new villain. A major, major new antagonist.”

“We’re going to see the other side of Asgard,” continues Feige. “It’s not all polished and golden in this film. And the events of Avengers will have affected Thor for sure. His relationship with Loki will continue to evolve, and the biggest part is Natalie [Portman], and Thor returning with Jane Foster.”

Loki won't be focused as the main villain this time around and it is not sure on who the villain is but we do know who will be playing the villain. Actor Mads Mikkelson, Casino Royale's main badguy, will be joining the cast as the main villain in Thor 2.

There are tons of villains they can use for Thor, but my top guesses would be Surtur, Ulik or Skurge.
