The Week in Spandex - The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Kick-Ass 2 and The Hoff: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Our weekly round-up of the biggest news stories from the world of movie superheroes…

Having made way for Disney's marketing blitz on The Avengers these past couple of months, Warner Bros. stepped up the promotional campaign for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises in a big way this week, flooding the world wide web with a host of Bat-related goodies. It began with a new theatrical poster, and while this left some fans underwhelmed, the studio more than made amends over the next few days, starting with six character posters showcasing Batman (Christian Bale), Bane (Tom Hardy) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), along with a 'secret' Catwoman design that was discovered tucked away on the official website. Of course, this was just the beginning, and soon we had two new TV spots consisting of snippets of previously unseen footage, in addition to a whole raft of images featuring Bruce Wayne / Batman, »

Django Unchained Trailer to Debut with Prometheus

25 May 2012 5:59 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Quentin Tarantino was in Cannes this past week to show off a sizzle reel from his upcoming Western Django Unchained. Those lucky enough to have seen it have done nothing but praise it. Most of us, though, still have to wait a while before getting a glimpse of this action yarn starring Jamie Foxx as a former slave trying to retrieve his wife from a ruthless plantation owner.

Apparently, if we are to believe rumors, the wait to see footage from Django Unchained isn't going to be as long as we initially thought. Word around the internet this late Friday afternoon, heading into Memorial Day Weekend is, we will be getting the first trailer on June 8th.

According to various inside sources, the trailer will be debuting in front of 20th Century Fox's Prometheus. There is no connection between the two films, other than that Prometheus is rated R, and »

Jon Favreau Returning To Iron Man 3 - As An Actor

25 May 2012 3:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Filmmaker Jon Favreau is making a return to the Iron Man franchise - to reprise his onscreen role as Robert Downey, Jr.'s bodyguard sidekick.

Favreau directed the first two installments of the Marvel comics movie adaptation, but announced in 2010 that he would not be taking charge of Iron Man 3 so he could work on other projects.

Shane Black was brought in as his replacement and production began in North Carolina on Wednesday.

However, Favreau hasn't cut all his ties to the upcoming sequel - he has been invited back to portray Happy Hogan once more, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The director, who will also serve as executive producer on the new film, made a cameo as the character in the 2008 original, and enjoyed more screen time as Hogan in Iron Man 2.

Actors Guy Pearce and Sir Ben Kingsley have also been added to the new cast of Iron Man 3, which will see Downey, Jr. return as the titular superhero, with Gwyneth Paltrow as his love interest and assistant, Pepper Potts.

The film is due for release in May, 2013. »

A few casting updates on Iron Man 3 and Thor 2

25 May 2012 3:53 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Now that The Avengers is out of the way, Marvel Studios is pressing ahead with subsequent solo instalments in the Cinematic Universe, beginning with the Shane Black-directed Iron Man 3. With principal photography getting underway this past Wednesday in Wilmington, North Carolina, further casting news has now emerged, starting with confirmation that Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau has closed a deal to reprise his on-screen role as Happy Hogan, joining fellow returnees Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark / Iron Man), Gwyneth Paltrow (Pepper Potts), Don Cheadle (Rhodey) and Paul Bettany (voice of Jarvis).

In addition to Favreau, it has also been reported that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to join the cast in the role of Firepower, which Variety describes as “a small part”. Firepower will become the latest villain to feature in the sequel, joining Guy Pearce (Prometheus) as Dr. Aldrich Killian and »

What is Marvel Plotting for ‘Iron Man 3?’

25 May 2012 2:34 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

While Marvel’s The Avengers continues to dominate the box office, Iron Man 3 quietly began shooting on Wednesday in Wilmington, North Carolina. This week, the $200 million production was working inside one of Screen Gems’ 10 sound stages, under the psuedonym “Caged Heat,” taking full advantage of a 25% tax credit signed into Nc state law in 2010. Then, later this summer, the production will relocate to China, specifically Hong Kong and Shanghai, as part of Marvel’s co-production partnership with Dmg Entertainment, a Beijing-based production company that serves China’s largest movie studio.

Tax credits and production bases are not the flashy stuff of headlines, but it’s Marvel’s business decisions that are shaping how Iron Man 3 will turn out on May 3, 2013. Avengers dumping cash into the coffers and a generous state incentive meant the budget could be boosted an additional $60 million to its $200 million, according to Latino Review. More »

William Sadler Joins Iron Man 3

25 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

More Iron Man 3 casting news! According to our friends at Latino Review, William Sadler is the most recent name added to the already awesome cast of the Shane Black-directed Marvel film. For those of you not familiar with the name, he's a great character actor that has been in films such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Die Hard 2, The Mist and several other movies and TV shows. 

Apparently, Sadler showed up for a costume fitting with Guy Pearce. There's no word on who the actor will be playing in the film. But it's speculated that the role will be similar to Pearce's, who plays geneticist Dr. Aldrich Killian. So maybe some kind of scientist? 

As of right now Robert Downey Jr., Gweneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Jon Favreau are set to reprise their roles. The movie will also star Ben Kingsley possibly as Mandarin, James Badge Dale »

William Sadler Rumored For 'Iron Man 3' Role

25 May 2012 12:26 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

It seems like the "Iron Man 3" casting department has been awful busy in recent days. In addition to the casting of Ashley Hamilton as Firepower and Jon Favreau returning as Happy Hogan, it looks like there is a third actor who might be coming on board the upcoming Marvel movie.

Latino Review found out that William Sadler has been seen on the film's set recently for a costume fitting. This isn't hard and fast confirmation of his inclusion in the movie, but we can't think of anything else the "Shawshank Redemption" star would be doing in Wilmington on set except for gearing up for a role in "Iron Man 3."

Since his participation is still unofficial, it's unclear whether Sadler would play a villain or ally of Tony Stark. Our hope is for the former, since Iron Man's enemies seem to be swarming around him like flies. In addition to Firepower, »

‘Shawshank Redemption’ Star William Sadler To Join ‘Iron Man 3’

25 May 2012 12:13 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

With The Avengers still breaking every record in the book, Marvel’s already hard at work on their next projects, starting with Iron Man 3. The news dropped yesterday that Jon Favreau would return as Happy Hogan and Ashley Hamilton would join as Jack Taggert. Now, it looks like William Sadler (Die Hard 2, Shawshank Redemption) will be joining Tony Stark’s third outing on screen [Latino Review].

No official word yet on Sadler’s casting or role, but he was seen with Guy Pearce (who will be playing Adrian Killian) in Wilmington, North Carolina during costume fittings so it’s safe to start surmising.

Fanboy Fix: 'Iron Man 3' Adds Firepower, Jon Favreau Returns; 'Thor 2' Adds Another Villain

25 May 2012 11:35 AM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »

Iron Man 3 is quickly assembling a gauntlet of villains for Tony Stark. Sir Ben Kingsley is still rumored to be the lead villain, The Mandarin, but it seems the more, the merrier. The latest addition to the cast comes in the form of George Hamilton's son, Ashley Hamilton, as the villain Firepower. Essentially, Firepower is another guy in a metal suit, but created by Edwin Cord, a rival businessman to the currently environmentally friendly Tony Stark. William Sadler has also joined the cast, although Latino-Review failed to say who he was playing. The site says the actor was present during a costume fitting with Guy Pearce, who is playing scientist Aidan Killain. Jon Favreau will also return in the role of Happy Hogan and as we reported yesterday, the three-quel got a budget...

Cannes: Shia Labeouf Talks The "Messy, Dirty, Realistic" Violence Of 'Lawless' & John Hillcoat Explains How Guy Pearce Scared Nick Cave's Kids

25 May 2012 11:24 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

For fans of Australian helmer John Hillcoat, it’s been a long wait since his last film, the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel “The Road” in 2009. However, it looks like patience has paid off with his latest film, “Lawless,” which tells the tale of the Depression-era Bondurant brothers whose successful bootlegging operation in Franklin County, Virginia is soon threatened by authorities who are looking to cut their profits. Based on the novel “The Wettest County In the World” (which the film was originally titled), written by Matt Bondurant—grandson of one of the main characters in the novel—"Lawless," penned by famed musician and screenwriter Nick Cave, had its world premiere at Cannes last weekend. The film was received with a significant amount of praise, with our own writer saying “as far as top-tier storytelling goes, it doesn't get much better than this.”

'Iron Man 3' movie: Jon Favreau returns as an actor

25 May 2012 10:22 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Jon Favreau is returning to the "Iron Man" franchise -- just not as you might expect. After directing the first two installments, Favreau has inked a deal to appear as an actor in "Iron Man 3." Fans of the films will remember Favreau's cameo appearance in "Iron Man" as Tony Stark's bodyguard, Happy Hogan. The role was expanded in "Iron Man 2."

In "Iron Man 3," Favreau will reprise the role, according to THR. There's no word yet as to how large a role he'll have, but he did tweet the below photo of his chair as proof of his return to the show.

Production is set to begin filming next week in North Carolina, with cast members Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle returning. They'll also welcome newbies Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley and James Badge Dale to the cast.

This year, Favreau directed the "Revolution" pilot, written »

William Sadler The Latest To Join Iron Man 3 Cast

25 May 2012 10:20 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Filming on Iron Man 3 is already underway in Wilmington, North Carolina, and all the main elements of the cast and crew already in place. You've got Rober Downey Jr. back as Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle back as Pepper Potts and Rhodey, and tons of new additions, from Ben Kingsley and Guy Pearce as major villains to Jon Favreau, back on set as just as an actor this time to play Happy Hogan again. But just because production is starting doesn't mean there's no time to make some tweaks, or introduce some actors on the set who hadn't yet been announced. Just yesterday we learned that Ashley Hamilton had signed on to play the villainous Firepower, and now Latino Review is reporting that another character, William Sadler, has been spotted at a costume test on the set as well. You'll recognize him from everything from the recent »

Ashley Hamilton Brings Firepower To 'Iron Man 3'

25 May 2012 10:05 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

It's especially good news that Happy Hogan is back for "Iron Man 3," because it seems like Tony Stark needs all the allies he can get.

Variety has the news that Ashley Hamilton will play Firepower, another villain in the film. It's said to be a small part, though we know from the comics that Firepower ends up working alongside the Mandarin. That seems to confirm that the Mandarin will play a role in "Iron Man 3" one way or another, though it hasn't been confirmed that he is a part of the movie.

Considering the fact "Iron Man 3" will "borrow elements" from Warren Ellis's six-issue "Iron Man: Extremis," we can assume that the Mandarin will at least have a small role. The Variety story says "Iron Man 3" will focus "on the spread of a virus through nanotechnology," which very likely is their way of referring to the Extremis serum. »

William Sadler Joins Iron Man 3

25 May 2012 9:14 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

With filming underway for Shane Black and Marvel's Iron Man 3, some more casting additions are being revealed. The latest one is that William Sadler has joined the impressive cast in a mysterious role. From Latino Review: Yesterday, Guy Pearce (who will be playing Aldrich Killian) graced Wilmington for a costume fitting along with a familiar face that is as-yet-unreported. Who was that blond man wandering around the ‘Iron Man 3′ stages? Why it was William Sadler! The report also reveals a little bit more info on the villains, and how exactly will they be portrayed in the film: A movie that had both Coldblood-7, Mandarin And Firepower would be over-packed, so look for James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton to be villains, but not in robo-cop and Iron Man suits respectively. Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale and Rebecca Hall, »

Cannes: Guy Pearce Talks Playing Camp & Shaving His Eyebrows In 'Lawless'

25 May 2012 8:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It takes a fair amount of talent to appear in a film alongside practiced scene-stealers like Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke and Shia Labeouf. But of course, as audiences have been aware for nearly two decades, since he came to attention in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert," Guy Pearce is possessed of an unusual amount of talent.

While he's had a few leading man roles (notably in Christopher Nolan's "Memento"), it's in supporting parts where Pearce has truly made an impression -- see "Animal Kingdom," "The King's Speech" and "Mildred Pierce." And he's got a doozy of one in John Hillcoat's "Lawless," as Charlie Rakes, a sneering, violent marshall who aims to make life hell for the bootleggin' Bondurant brothers.

It's only the mid-point of a banner year for Pearce, who already starred in the surprisingly enjoyable "Lockout," will shortly be seen in "Prometheus, »
