'Iron Man 3' set photos: Check out the new villain!
31 May 2012 9:22 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
The Avengers is still reaping boy-band cash in theaters. But the all-seeing eye of the Internet has already shifted forward to 2013, when Marvel will release the Iron Man threequel and the Thor sequel. Earlier this month, Iron Man 3 officially signed James Badge Dale — better known as “the quietly heroic guy from The Pacific,” “the quietly paranoid guy from Rubicon,” and “the dude who got his hand chopped off on 24.” Official word was that Dale was playing Eric Savin, a soldier in the comic books who was fatally injured in combat, only to be resurrected by the magic of ’80s »

Andrew Garfield wants to play Spider-Man in The Avengers 2
21 May 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In an interview sure to set the web crawling with speculation, Andrew Garfield, who plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the highly anticipated reboot The Amazing Spider-Man, said:
"[The Avengers writer-director] Joss Whedon is a genius, and it's an incredible cast. I was very, very jealous, and I wanted to jump on the screen and play with them. It killed me that I wasn't in it, but I understand why, and I'm not insulted. But hey, if Samuel L. Jackson wants to give me a shout, I'm there for the next one."
Andrew Garfield thinks Joss Whedon's a genius, so he's automatically right.
Of course, the reasons why it didn't happen that he's alluding to are to do with rights issues, with Marvel Studios holding the film rights to many Marvel comics characters (hence the Avengers movie getting made), but not all of them. Specifically, Sony Pictures holds the film rights to Spider-Man, »
Kapow '12: The Amazing Spider-man Footage Recap
20 May 2012 2:26 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
• For the most part, The Amazing Spider-Man footage was the same as Sony showed during the international sneak peeks back in February. The main difference however was that it featured some sensational new scenes and was in perhaps the best 3D I've ever seen. • A longer version of the scene between Peter and Gwen was shown, and as I said a few months back, they have great chemistry. Emma Stone's take on the character is far more likeable than the somewhat aloof version in the early Stan Lee stories, and is much different to Bryce Dallas Howard (Spider-Man 3) and the various high school girls that Stone has portrayed in the likes of and Easy A. • It's hard to find fault with Andrew Garfield's take on Peter Parker, and while he comes across as a bumbling Clark Kent type in this scene, he's extremely endearing.

First Men in Black 3 Reviews Are In!
18 May 2012 3:05 AM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
"Men in Black 3," starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin, is set to hit theaters on May 25th. But some critics have already seen it and have posted their reviews online. Check out some of them below. Most people feel that the third installment is a fun, entertaining movie. Others completely disagree, but still believe that it's much better than the second film. The big disappointment seems to be that Jones is in the movie for under fifteen minutes. But his lack of screen-time is filled with cameos from such people as Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. The other piece of unsurprising news is that "Men in Black 3" sets up a possible fourth film. * Cbm: "Men in Black 3" avoids the threequel curse of the likes of "Spider-Man 3" and "X-Men: The Last Stand" and instead ends up being the best film in the "Men in Black" franchise. »
Men In Black 3: What Are The Critics Saying So Far?
17 May 2012 2:12 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Still can't decide whether or not you want to see Men in Black 3 next week? Well, you may want to hold off on making a decision until the rest of the reviews start coming in, but we do have a handful for you to check out here after the threequel was screened in the UK earlier this week. While one or two aren't that favourable, the general consensus so far seems to be that it's a film well worth checking out. Have a read of the excerpts below and be sure to click on the various links for the full-length versions. Men in Black 3 avoids the threequel curse of the likes of Spider-Man 3 and X-Men: The Last Stand and instead ends up being the best film in the Men in Black franchise. Fantastic fun which will leave you wanting more. **** Source: ComicBookMovie.com [Josh Wilding] The feted Apollo 11 »
The Avengers tops the UK box office chart for the third week
16 May 2012 2:23 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 12th - Sunday 14th May 2012...
Having crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office this past weekend (and in doing so, overtaking The Dark Knight as the highest-grossing comic book movie of all-time), Marvel's The Avengers - a.k.a. Avengers Assemble - continues to dominate the UK box office for the third week in a row. The Joss Whedon-directed Marvel team-up added another £4.17m over the Friday-Sunday period, pushing the film beyond the £40m mark and exceeding the entire UK runs of Marvel superhero predecessors such as Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor. By next weekend it should be pushing the The Dark Knight's £48.6m and it's only a matter of time before The Avengers becomes the UK's highest-grossing superhero movie. »

Avengers Assemble eats up American Pie: Reunion
15 May 2012 7:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Joss Whedon's superhero team-up is still a box-office Marvel, devouring competition from American Pie and Dark Shadows
The winner
Holding on to the UK top spot for the third straight week, Avengers Assemble has notched up a highly impressive £40.28m after just 18 days of play. That's ahead of the entire runs of superhero predecessors such as Spider-Man (£29.03m), Spider-Man 2 (£26.73m) and Spider-Man 3 (£33.55m). The only comicbook adaptation that's ahead of it is The Dark Knight, with £49.07m. Chris Nolan's second Batman movie stood at £34.67m at the same stage of release (after three weekends of play), so Joss Whedon's superhero team-up looks on course to overtake it by the end of its run. However, week-on-week declines have been 39% and 49% for Avengers Assemble, compared with a gentler 22% and 39% for The Dark Knight, and if revenues keep declining steeply for the Marvel picture, it may just fall short. »

Marvel Avengers Assemble tops UK box office for third weekend
15 May 2012 7:19 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
From film to phenomenon, Marvel Avengers Assemble is keeping up the momentum as it dominates the UK box office for a third weekend running.
The superhero movie has taken more than £40 million to date in the UK.
The film has already grossed more than the entire runs of superhero predecessors Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Hulk, Captain America and Thor, with audiences still flocking to see the comic book epic.
This is the first Marvel Studios film and the fifth Walt Disney Studios release to reach this milestone.
The news comes just a week after Marvel Avengers Assemble shattered records with a $207.4 million opening weekend in the Us, the biggest domestic debut of all time.
As one of only 12 films in history to gross $1 billion, it joins Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides »

Be Amazed! Posters & Image From New Spider-Man!
14 May 2012 2:21 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The suitably-named Marc Webb will be hoping his The Amazing Spider-man can at least match the box-office numbers of Sam Raimi’s 2002 outing. Perhaps a tough ask considering Avengers Assemble is currently emptying fanboys’ wallets around the world. Also, it has been less than five years since Raimi (and an overpowering studio) killed the franchise with the dire Spider-man 3. However, Thn are hoping superhero overload won’t spoil our favourite web-slinger’s reboot, including one that boasts a top cast.
These spectacular new international posters will almost certainly help, as Andrew Garfield looks to bring something fresh as the friendly neighbourhood wall-crawler. Taking over the role (previously played by Tobey Maguire) with a darker, more mysterious tone will kick-start the franchise, with a sequel already given the green light.
Garfield is joined by Emma Stone, Sally Field, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Martin Sheen, Irrfan Khan and Rhys Ifans as new super-villain The Lizard. »

Spotlight on the Lizard in “Amazing Spider-Man”!
13 May 2012 4:15 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Under the radar compared to Avengers and the WB’s upcoming Dark Knight Rises, Sony’s reboot Amazing Spider-man is coming to theaters on July 3rd. To drum up excitement and hype, Shock Till You Drop recently uncovered a featurette that put the spotlight on Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors, or the Lizard, the villain of this particular Spidey flick. After Green Goblin and Doc Ock, there’s about 15-20 different guys that could be considered Spider-Man’s next best villain, and thankfully, they didn’t try and roll with Kraven the Hunter, and I think most people are cautiously optimistic about the Lizard as I am.
The upcoming film also stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dennis Leary, Martin Sheen and Sally Field in a stellar cast that hopes to make fans forget the disaster that was Spider-man 3 (side note: has there ever been another movie that made »

Weekend Report: 'Avengers' Shatters More Records, 'Shadows' Mostly Sucks
13 May 2012 12:38 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
With Dark Shadows providing little in the way of competition, The Avengers had no trouble at all extending its stranglehold on the box office this weekend. Marvel's superhero team-up fell 50 percent to $103.1 million, which is by-far the best second weekend ever ahead of Avatar's $75.6 million. It also topped The Dark Knight for best second weekend hold for a movie that opened to more than $120 million. Other new records include fastest movie to $300 million and $350 million, and highest eight-day, nine-day, and ten-day grosses. Through Sunday, The Avengers has earned $373.1 million, which ranks 18th on the all-time domestic chart. It's now inevitable that the movie will finish above $500 million, and it should also claim third place on the all-time chart ahead of The Dark Knight ($533.3 million). As expected, Dark Shadows couldn't hold a candle to The Avengers, though its $29.7 million opening is still a bit of a disappointment. Among recent Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaborations, »

Box office report: 'Avengers' smashes 2nd weekend record with $103.2M, passes $1 billion worldwide
13 May 2012 8:38 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Of course Tony Stark wasn’t satisfied with just one weekend of headlines!
After its record-demolishing $207.4 million debut last weekend, The Avengers easily stayed atop the box office in its second frame, soaring to $103.2 million (a drop of only 50 percent) over the Friday-to-Sunday period. That figure crushes the second weekend box office record, which was formerly held by Avatar with its $75.6 million sophomore frame.
Incredibly, The Avengers’ 50 percent drop is the smallest second weekend decline of any film that achieved one of the Top 10 opening weekends of all time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 fell by 72 percent after its $169.1 million debut. »

New Amazing Spider-Man Lizard Featurette!
12 May 2012 1:42 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
With less than two months until release, it’s been an exciting week for The Amazing Spider-man – we’ve had plenty of posters, viral videos and such the like. The latest little ditty comes from the Oscorp Industries site, and features a brief look at Rhys Ifan’s Dr Curt Connors. After the overcrowded and unfocused Spider-man 3, it’s exciting to see the reboot is going back to basics with the Lizard, the villainous alter-ego of Connors, and will be mercifully short on Goblin-style gliders.
Check it out below!
The Amazing Spider-man is directed by Marc Webb and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Dennis Leary, and Martin Sheen. It arrives in cinemas 2nd July.

Andrew Garfield/The Amazing Spider-man Trailer 3: Haunted Son
11 May 2012 10:13 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Andrew Garfield, The Amazing Spider-Man trailer "This life is not an easy one," says Andrew Garfield / Peter Parker in this latest The Amazing Spider-Man trailer. (Please scroll down.) "I’ve made enemies,” adds Parker / Garfield. “Powerful enemies. I’ve put those I love in danger. But the one thing that has haunted me my entire life is finding the truth about my parents." One of Peter Parker’s (aka Spider-Man’s) enemies is The Lizard (Rhys Ifans). Another is Emma Stone’s father, who has 500 cops looking for poor Peter. With The Lizard, the monolithic Oscorp Corporation, and the useless cops after him, what’s a DC superhero to do? Call Marvel’s The Avengers? Nope. Come and get the truth about his parents. And weave a web or two throughout New York City along the way. In addition to Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans, and Emma Stone, The Amazing Spider-Man »

Tobey Maguire Interviews Andrew Garfield for The Amazing Spider-man
9 May 2012 11:14 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The inception of The Amazing Spider-Man is a curious story. Director Sam Raimi was already heavy into development on Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire returning as Spidey and John Malkovich poised to play the film’s villain, Vulture. Apparently Raimi and Sony didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye on where the fourth Spider-Man should go, and the director wasn’t particularly confident that he could turn out a quality movie in time to make the Summer 2011 release date. Moreover, Raimi was allegedly still sour about being forced to include Venom in Spider-Man 3, so he wasn’t exactly eager to bend to the studio’s will. An abrupt announcement was made that Spider-Man 4 was dead, Raimi and Maguire were out, and a reboot was slated for a Summer 2012 release date. Well, we’re now on the cusp of Summer 2012 and the release of The Amazing Spider-Man is a few short months away. »

Avengers Assemble tops UK box office for second weekend, exceeds entire runs of all other Marvel films
8 May 2012 11:07 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Marvel Avengers Assemble has dominated the UK box office for a second weekend.
Joss Whedon's comic book blockbuster earned £11.6 million over the three-day bank holiday weekend, bringing the UK total to £33.3 million since the film opened here on April 26.
The movie reigned supreme across the globe this weekend, making it the top-grossing film worldwide for 2012 so far with earnings of $654.8 million (Us dollars) to date.
The UK total is £10 million more than closest box office rival The Hunger Games. Marvel Avengers Assemble will today also surpass Spider-Man 3's total in the UK.
In America, there was a mad clamour to see the movie that led to IMAX venues running out of seats. It was the USA's highest debut of all time with $207.4 million.
In the UK, Marvel Avengers Assemble has already grossed more than the entire runs of superhero predecessors Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Hulk, Captain America and Thor. »
