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, »

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 »

25 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Last week, we brought you the news when James Badge Dale (World War Z) joined the cast of director Shane Black‘s forthcoming installment of Marvel Studios‘ wildly successful Iron Man franchise as a villain named Eric Savin, a character from Marvel Comics who was a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army that stepped on a landmine, and after being dead for 2.3 minutes is resurrected as the cyborg Coldblood.
Now, Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton (Femme Fatales) is currently in talks to portray the villain Firepower in Iron Man 3, the pilot of an experimental pilotable armored suit for Edwin Cord (the rival businessman of Tony Stark), Jack Taggert eventually uses the suit to battle Iron Man. The trade reports that the character of Firepower is a small role in the film.
As we previously reported, the Extremis story arc penned by Warren Ellis is said to be the template for this film. »

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, »

Hamilton and Favreau Join “Iron Man 3″
25 May 2012 12:22 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
No, Favreau isn’t going to direct Iron Man 3. Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) has that job. But Favreau has signed on to return as Tony Stark’s bodyguard (and comic relief) Happy Hogan, according to Hollywood Reporter.
To add to the cast, Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to play a villainous cyborg Firepower who works for the government. It’s a small role for the son of George Hamilton (and apparent stepson to Rod Stewart), and joins James Badge Dale (The Pacific) who plays Savin, Rebecca Hall in an undisclosed role, and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) may or may not be the Mandarin. They of course will be joining Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow to round out a pretty sweet cast.
Iron Man 3 will hit theaters May 3rd, 2013 (my sister’s birthday, for those keeping score). »

‘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. Sadler will join an ever-growing cast lead by returners Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Paul Bettany, and Favreau. New cast members include Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall, Andy Lau, and James Badge Dale. Shane Black will direct based off a script co-written by Drew Pearce and, »

'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 »

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, »
Jon Favreau Gets Happy for 'Iron Man 3'
25 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Jon Favreau may not be sitting in the director's chair for "Iron Man 3," but he will be sitting in a chair for it anyway, as the actor/director sent out a tweet yesterday confirming that he will be returning as Iron Man's right hand man Happy Hogan.
We're not sure if "Iron Man 3" is going to have a happy ending, but it certainly has had a Happy beginning.
Considering the fact that "Iron Man 3" has already begun filming, fans were getting a little bit worried that Favreau wasn't going to be in this one at all. And really, who could blame the guy; after all, as executive producer on pretty much every Marvel film these days, the "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2" director is a pretty busy dude. Heck, it probably takes him most of his morning just to count his residuals.
Now, though, he's back. »

‘Iron Man 3′ Adds Another Villain; Jon Favreau Returning as Happy Hogan
25 May 2012 6:55 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
With big names like Ben Kingsley, Guy Pearce, James Badge Dale and Rebecca Hall joining returning series veterans Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle, Iron Man 3 is shaping up to be a promising new entry in the popular film series. By comparison, it seems almost trivial that obscure actor Ashley Hamilton is apparently in talks to play equally obscure Iron Man villain, Firepower. Then again, it’s unclear how, exactly, this character fits into the larger story line based on the Iron Man “Extremis” storyline, leaving open the possibility that Firepower will, in fact, play a pivotal role.

Back For More 'Iron Man'
25 May 2012 5:26 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jon Favreau is headed back to the "Iron Man" franchise. Just not as director.
Favreau -- who, when he isn't directing summer tentpoles like "Iron Man" or "Cowboys & Aliens," is also an actor -- tweeted a photo on Thursday of a director's chair with the name "Happy Hogan" written on its front. Hogan is Tony Stark's chauffeur and assistant, a role Favreau played in the first two "Iron Man" films.
Filming on "Iron Man 3" began in North Carolina on Wednesday with Shane Black ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang") taking over directing duties from Favreau.
The actor posted the photo at 7:18 p.m. Est, and his involvement was later confirmed by THR. According the trade, Favreau signed on to play Happy Hogan again, but how big his role will be in the film remains unclear.
If all of this sounds really familiar, that's because you remember when Favreau said he »

Iron Man 3 adds a new villain, and Jon Favreau returns
25 May 2012 1:28 AM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
Iron Man 3 has added another villain to its growing ensemble, with former Sunset Beach star Ashley Hamilton set to join the cast as Jack Taggert, otherwise known as Firepower. In the Marvel universe, Taggert is the pilot of an experimental bodysuit designed by the programme, Project: Firepower. Typically, Taggert doesn't have his hands on Stark technology for long before wanting to use it against its creator… With James Badge Dale also in line to play a potential villain in the form of Coldblood, and Ben Kingsley already in place as...

'Iron Man 3' Adds Another Villain with Ashley Hamilton as Firepower
24 May 2012 7:01 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It sounds like Tony Stark is going to have his hands full in Iron Man 3. Not only has Ben Kingsley been cast as a villain in the Marvel sequel starring Robert Downey Jr., but James Badge Dale's role as Eric Savin, a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army put in charge of Project: Ultra who later becomes Coldblood after stepping on a mine and having cybernetic surgery performed on him, is said to be a bad guy, too. Now it sounds like there's one more adversary for Iron Man to blast away as Variety reports Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton, and personal friend of Downey, will play Firepower, another cyborg villain. In the comics, the villain's origin lies in Jack Taggert, who is also part of an experiment and sent on a mission, aptly named Project: Firepower, where he's the pilot of an experimental armored suit.

Casting Net: 'Thor 2,' 'Iron Man 3' land new villains. Plus: Anthony Hopkins, Bradley Cooper, Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde
24 May 2012 6:28 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
• Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) is in talks to torment the citizens of Asgard in Thor 2, as an unspecified villain who joins Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) will direct the film. [THR]
• Speaking of Thor 2, that sequel may stand in the way of Anthony Hopkins joining another sequel, Red 2. Hopkins would play a baddie in the latter film — which will star Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, and Catherine Zeta-Jones — but his involvement hinges on his ability to schedule around playing Odin in Thor 2. [Deadline]
• Elsewhere in the Marvel-verse, two actors have signed onto Iron Man 3, which just started filming this week. One is quite familiar: Jon Favreau will return to play Tony Stark bodyguard Happy Hogan, notable since Favreau passed the directing reins for the franchise to Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). »

Iron Man 3 - Ashley Hamilton In Talks For Role of Firepower
24 May 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Shane Black has found one of the villains for Iron Man 3. Variety reports that Ashley Hamilton is in talks to play the small part of government cyborg Firepower. You may recall that in the comic books, the character is the pilot of an experimental armored suit under the secret mission dubbed Project: Firepower. He eventually uses the suit to battle Iron Man.
Hamilton is not only the son of George Hamilton, but the stepson of singer Rod Stewart. He is also a personal friend of Robert Downey Jr., but this would mark the first time they have worked together. Hamilton appeared on the ninth season of Dancing with the Stars before becoming a correspondent on Extra.
Production is set to start this month with Black at the helm of a script he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. The story will be a blend of elements from Warren Ellis' six-issue Iron Man: Extremis, »

Iron Man 3 News: Jon Favreau to Return as Happy Hogan, Adds “Firepower” with Ashley Hamilton
24 May 2012 5:12 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We recently reported that Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) would be joining Tom Hiddleston as a baddie in Thor 2, so Iron Man 3 went ahead and added their own firepower. In this case, "Firepower" is actually the villain that Ashley Hamilton (Sunset Beach) is in talks to play. In the Marvel universe, Hamilton's character was the pilot of a "power suit" prototype built by the government (likely, S.H.I.E.L.D.) under the codename "Project: Firepower." And we all know that, once you've strapped on a suit of battle armor, it doesn't take too long before you challenge Tony Stark/Iron Man himself (Robert Downey Jr.). Also returning, in a producer capacity, will be Jon Favreau. But it looks like fans will be able to see the Iron Man director on screen as well. Hit the jump for more. Variety reports that Hamilton is in talks to star as "Firepower, »

'Iron Man 3' Gets Villain Firepower Courtesy Of Ashley Hamilton While Jon Favreau Returns; Mads Mikkelsen Is 'Thor 2' Baddie
24 May 2012 4:49 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The son of George Hamilton, stepson of Rod Stewart, former competitor on "Dancing With The Stars" and a correspondent on "Extra"....listen, we know Marvel is thrifty, but this is pretty ridiclous...
But believe it or not, Ashley Hamilton -- one of People's most beautiful people in the world sometime in the '90s (hilariously, even IMDb can't be bothered to find out when) has joined "Iron Man 3" as the villain Firepower. To Wikipedia! Essentially, Firepower is another guy-in-a-metal-suit-with-weapons, the brainchild of Edwin Cord, rival businessman to the currently treehugging Tony Stark. Or depending on which storyline you're using, he's government agent who tangles with War Machine instead of Iron Man. Either way, Ashley Hamilton. Man, after losing Jessica Chastain, that pendulum just swung way back the other way....
Anyway, the Drew Pearce-penned, Shane Black-directed movie starts shooting this month and we presume "Extra" will have all the juicy gossip. »
