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.

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.

Joss Whedon Might Not Be Returning For Avengers 2

It seems like Joss Whedone might be contemplating on returning to direct and writer the sequel to one of the most top grossing movies of all time.

In an interview with Hero Complex, Whedon explains that he is torn about returning for Avengers 2.

“It’s an enormous amount of work telling what is ultimately somebody else’s story, even though I feel like I did get to put myself into it," says Whedon. "But at the same time, I have a bunch of ideas, and they all seem really cool.”

Hopefully Whedon won't feel torn about returning anytime soon as it is no doubt that it was his doing that make The Avengers such a blockbuster hit.

James Badge Dale To Play As Eric Savin In Iron Man 3

James Badge Dale (The Departed, Rubicon) has been signed up to play Eric Savin in Iron man 3, who will be playing the main villain for the movie.

Eric Savin, aka Coldblood-7 (his villain name in the comics) was first introduced in Marvel Comics Presents #26 in 1989. Savin was a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army until he stepped on a land mine which obviously caused him to die. Shortly afterwards Savin was resurrected as a Cyborg under the Ultra-Tech project.  From there Coldblood then became a mercenary where he took on jobs with his superhuman strength, speed, stamina and durability with enhanced sensory implants. Coldblood has been known to connect himself to any computer system.

It is not known whether or not if Dale's character will become Coldblood in Iron Man 3 or if he will just stay as Eric Savin throughout the movie.

The Avengers Gets A Second Post Credit "Scene" (Spoilers Alert)

Even though we here in North America have yet to see The Avengers in theatres, besides those who went to special screenings, a new scene will be added after the credits along with the one featuring...well I won't spoil it for anyone, but there will be two scenes for us to enjoy even though Kevin Feige doesn't consider it a scene.

“I will tell you this: It was not a scene. It was not a scene,” Feige insisted at the movie’s European premiere. “There’s little things. It’s been blown out of proportion. Which is fun, I like that things are blown out of proportion. Sometimes they’re true sometimes they’re not.”

The "scene" ties in with a joke made by Tony Stark and has The Avengers sitting around a table having a meal of shawarma.

Guy Pearce In Iron Man 3

Marvel is in final negotiations in order to snag Guy Pearce to appear in Iron Man 3 in order to play Aldrich Killian. Don't know who Killian is? I'll explain in a bit.

Shane Black, the director of Iron Man 3, is basing the movie around the Extremis story arc. Killian is an employee at Futurepharm who helped create the Extremis virus, which was suppose to be a recreated Super Soldier Serum, then stole it and sold it to the highest bidder which was then injected into a criminal, Mallen. Mallen was then mutated and was given superhuman powers.

Iron Man 3 will begin filming next month in North Carolina, from there filming will continue in China in order to get ready for its May 3, 2013 release date.
