When the title of the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger was first revealed back at Sdcc '12, fans were ecstatic and all eyes turned to comic book writer Ed Brubaker. He's the individual behind turning lithe and agile sidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) into the badass, rogue assassin known as the Winter Solider. However, Brubaker pretty quickly revealed that the announcement was a complete surprise to him. That's somewhat strange, not to say that Brubaker has to work on the script or anything but it's weird that he had absolutely no inkling of what was coming. Besides the title, the next bit of pertinent info came from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who said the film is a "political thriller." But that little bit of info doesn't point anyone towards the 1988 six issue miniseries, Nick Fury vs S.H.I.E.L.D. written by Bob Harras (with »

As for what kind of excitement can be put into a movie about a mobile game that is simply hurling birds at walls, there's no word. David Maisel, who executive produced Marvel's films from "Iron Man »

While talking to The Big Issue, Hayley Atwell revealed that San Diego ComicCon attendees will get a chance to find out what happened to her character Peggy Carter, who appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger.
Atwell’s character appears in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as well, however Atwell says the appearance is only through flashbacks.
Atwell told The Big Issue:
Fans of the first film really wanted to find out what happened to Peggy afterwards, so Marvel are also making a short film, which is basically ‘What Peggy Did Next’, which will be shown at Comic-Con [the annual international pop culture convention held in San Diego] and be on the DVD extras of the second film. So as well as doing a bit in the new film, I’ve got a whole new spin-off short film. It has been great to be back in training with the stunt coordinators, kicking some butt again.
Sadly, fans of the character »

In an interview with The Big Issue, "Captain America: The First Avenger" star Hayley Atwell opened up a bit more about her character's role in the sequel, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and her starring turn in the Peggy Carter-centric Marvel One-Shot short film.
Since Atwell's "Winter Soldier" scenes are all flashbacks, the actress was surprised to learn that Robert Redford is among the modern day cast. As The Big Issue found out, Atwell's a bit of a Robert Redford fan.
"Is Robert Redford in it? Really?" she asked. "Well, there you go, that shows how much I know! But now you have told me, and because I love him, I am going to call up the Marvel family, find out when he is filming, then I'll go down to the set to stalk him. That is my privilege! Thanks for the tip."
Atwell had high praise for her Marvel Universe character Peggy Carter, »

In Iron Man 3, as what seemed like a direct jab at the scenes in Iron Man 2 in which Tony Stark obsesses over his relationship with his father, Tony tells the Tenneesse kid played by Ty Simpkins to get over his issues with his own father: "Dads leave. No need to be a pussy about it." Howard Stark's looming shadow over Iron Man 2 was far from the worst thing about it, but t was nice to see Tony willing to move on-- especially since we'd since seen Dominic Cooper play the young Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger as a guy so charming we couldn't stand to resent him. Even though Cap has now made his way into the present day, and the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier will take place long after World War II, there's still time for one more dashing Howard Stark appearance. »

Will three be a crowd when Sherlock’s long lost love reappears in the upcoming season finale of Elementary? Leave it to CBS to save the juiciest part of the reunion for the season ender. Yes, you met Irene Adler this week, but next Thursday, she’s back again. We have pictures.
Described as the only woman Holmes has ever loved, the previously assumed dead Irene Adler popped up in the closing minutes of last week’s episode, titled “Risk Management”. What affect will the reunion have on our favorite investigator? You’ll see in next week’s two-hour finale, which closes what has been a wonderful first season of the CBS drama starring Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu and Aidan Quinn.
You can expect Sherlock to get really shaken up during the series finish. It is Natalie Dormer who brings to life Adler in this incarnation of the Sherlock Holmes mythos. »

When Paramount Pictures negotiated a deal with Disney in October 2010 to retain a portion of revenue from Marvel’s “The Avengers” and ‘Iron Man 3,” the brass on Melrose Ave. had no way of knowing just how big a payday it would see.
It’s been a marvel, for sure.
To date, Paramount has collected around $100 million from “The Avengers” alone from all distribution platforms (including theatrical, homevid, VOD and television). Now, with” Iron Man 3″ grossing nearly $800 million at the worldwide box office to date, Par will add significantly to its overall take (so far collecting approximately $40 million and counting) — all without having to lift a finger, other than to sign on the dotted line.
