Our weekly round-up of all 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, »

The Misfits' Glen Danzig Was Almost Fox's Wolverine, Says He Would've Played Wolvie Less Gay
25 May 2012 12:56 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Back in 2000, wow, can't believe that's 12 years ago, we saw our first X-Men film on the big screen. As part of the second renaissance of superhero movies, Bryan Singer's film paved the way for the annual summer comic book movie festival we now enjoy. However, production on the film was somewhat troubled, least of which, was the casting search to play James Logan aka Wolverine. Up for the role at the time was legendary Misfits frontman, Glen Danzig. Recently speaking to La Weekly Danzig "reflects" on that opportunity--- Early in the film's pre-production, you were in talks to play Wolverine in X-Men. How would you have played Logan/Wolverine differently than Hugh Jackman? Danzig: It wouldn't have been as gay. Actually, he wasn't the first choice. They hired Dougray Scott. He had a falling out with the director, and then they hired Hugh Jackman. I'm glad I didn't »

Anne Hathaway's fiancé, Adam Shulman, was right behind her as they arrived at Lax yesterday. The couple hopped on a flight to NYC after visiting with friends on the West Coast. Anne's on a break from filming Les Misérables in London, where she hit the set with costar Hugh Jackman in April. She took advantage of the downtime to escape to Miami earlier this month. Anne wore a black bikini for a dip in the ocean with her mom Kathleen during the getaway, which came just before Mother's Day. Anne may still be sporting cropped hair for her character in Les Mis, but she'll soon be switching gears to another project. The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July and Anne will be traveling to promote the latest installment in the Batman franchise. View Slideshow › »

Madeleine Stowe To Direct Her $5 Million Screenplay
23 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The Last Of The Mohicans star Madeleine Stowe is finally bringing her western screenplay to the big screen after turning down $5 million (£3.1 million) to hand the project over to movie bosses at Twentieth Century Fox almost a decade ago.
The studio executives wanted the movie rights to Unbound Captives, but they didn't want her.
Instead, they wanted Gladiator star Russell Crowe to take the lead and Sir Ridley Scott to direct the film about a white woman whose children are taken by Comanche Indians in the 1860s.
Stowe says, "Without a moment’s thought, I turned it down."
Now, nine years later, Stowe is stepping behind the camera to direct Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the film, admitting she opted not to star in the project when she turned 50 in 2009.
She tells More magazine, "It seemed like the right thing to do. I’m on fire with this idea of what I want this film to be and bringing together these incredibly gifted people and having a dynamic conversation." »
"Wolverine" Gets A Date, "Mad Max" Doesn't
22 May 2012 2:13 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Two long-gestating genre franchise sequels due in 2013 are new entries in the "Wolverine" and "Mad Max" franchises. The news looks rosy for the former today, the latter however doesn't have it so good.
First up Hugh Jackman confirmed via his Twitter feed that shooting on "The Wolverine" has finally scheduled dates with shooting to commence in August. Filming looks to be kicking off in Sydney before moving to Japan.
One film originally slated to shoot in Australia but is now headed to Namibia is "Mad Max: Fury Road". However when that film will be done remains in question. Some reports suggested the project could shoot as early as next month, film crew are already there doing pre-production work, but comments to Empire Online from Tom Hardy at Cannes this week suggest a schedule is still not quite locked.
“We keep moving that [start date] around, you know?. Who knows when it’ll come out? »

“The Wolverine” Starts Filming in August
21 May 2012 2:12 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Hugh Jackman announced on his Twitter today that The Wolverine will start filming in August, JoBlo reports. After Darren Aronofsky unfortunately dropped out because of scheduling difficulties, The Wolverine has struggled to get traction. But it looks like it has, as James Mangold (Girl, Interrupted) has taken the reins on the project as director, with Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects) the man behind the script. The film is set to cover Wolverine’s Japanese/Samurai years, and while Aronofsky would’ve Killed it, I’m excited to see Jackman’s Wolvy once again, and Mangold and McQuarrie have solid resumes. And because movies have release dates before they’ve even started filming (stupidly, I might add), we can expect The Wolverine to come out July 26, 2013. »

Hugh Jackman Reveals Summer Start Date for ‘Wolverine 2′
21 May 2012 10:13 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Even as superheroes like Iron Man and The Avengers thrive under Marvel Studios’ watch, the X-Men film franchise (over at 20th Century Fox) has continued to struggle.
First, X-Men: The Last Stand took longer than expected to happen, after director Bryan Singer was swapped for Brett Ratner. Thereafter, the Origins: Wolverine spinoff/prequel was infamously passed around to several different filmmakers, ultimately suffering from too much studio interference; and, just last year, X-Men: First Class managed to re-invigorate fan interest in the franchise, despite it being pushed through the production pipeline at a furious rate.
The same has been true for Wolverine 2 (a.k.a. The Wolverine) – which, after a couple years’ worth of false starts, is finally ready to begin production. Fox officially settled on a July 2013 release date for The Wolverine a ...

starts shooting in August!!! “@MarkGreen74: @RealHughJackman Hi Hugh, any updates on the next Wolverine film for all us geeky fans? ????”
— Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) May 19, 2012
Sure, "The Wolverine" should have started shooting a good bit earlier than August 2012 — it's been in on and off development since 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" with Darren Aronofsky attached to direct before James Mangold came on board in mid-2011 — but something's better than nothing, and August isn't all that far away.
The "Wolverine" sequel, which sees Logan taking his berserker rage to scenic Japan, will shoot both in Australia and Japan, Fox chief Tom Rothman previously told MTV News.
"We're doing stage work in Australia. Stage work is always inside a warehouse, so location doesn't really matter. »

Watch: Hugh Jackman Botch His Audition For Harlem Village Academies In Hilarious New Viral Video
21 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Who doesn't love Hugh Jackman? Of course, he's made his fair share of shitty movies ("Kate & Leopold," "Van Helsing," "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), but there's something inherently likable and undeniably charming about the actor so that, even when the film is bad, Jackman's never less than totally committed, normally proving the best thing in the movie. And from "X-Men" to "The Fountain" and "The Prestige," he's given plenty of good performances as well, not least his hosting of the Oscars, a recent high-water mark for the show.
And as of today, we might love him a little bit more. Jackman's starred in a new College Humor viral video in support of Harlem Village Academies, the groundbreaking NYC school that says 'Teachers are Superstars' on which he serves on the board for, and playing himself, the star is very, very funny, auditioning for a job at the school with a monologue from "Shrek, »
