Thor was in The Adventures In Babysitting.
Thor is Vincent D'Onoffrio.
Thor is Vincent D'Onoffrio.
Ray Stevenson (Titus Pullo from HBO's Rome) is replacing Thomas Jane in the title role in Punisher 2, and Kevin McKidd (his costar who played Marcus Vorenus from Rome) may be cast as Thor for that movie.
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (the star and director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) are doing the Ant-Man movie.
A Green Arrow movie script is in the works, tentatively called Super Max. It deals with Green Arrow being taken down by the police for his vigilante activities and forced to survive in prison with some of the DCU's deadliest supervillains, many of whom he put there in the first place.

I think they should do a Green Arrow origin movie before this so as not to confuse the people who don't watch Smallville or read comics.
Heh, I remember when people were saying that Jack Black was to play GL....oh what a nightmare that would have been....
Anyways, concerning Thor, he's got to be done 100% right (the god half of him at least), otherwise the movie will be seriously fucked up. Still, if they do it right (which I'm hoping they will), then all they've gotta do is create a Captain America movie, make sure the Hulk's second film as well as Iron Man's film are successes, and we could have ourselves a real bonafide Avengers movie! It would be totally badass, as long as the characters are done correctly in their respective movies.
Yeah,good luck with that.when's the last time one of these comic movies from Marvel was done correctly?Spider-Man 2 is the best of all of the movies Marvel has been associated with and it has minor story flaws.I think Ironman will be pretty good but I also think that the hard core Ironman fans will pick it apart for story flaws.The new Punisher will suck just as hard as the last one,and I don't even know why they are redoing the Hulk so soon.Thor has the luxury of having large popularity without a lot of people really knowing the origin or true story of Thor.So knowing that,and knowing Hollywood,expect Thor to get fucked royally with story changes.
What we really need is more rated R comic movie like Sin City was.I vote for a Gendel movie,and the beauty of it is that there are soo many story arcs that they can pick and choose any one of them and pretty mach strike gold.I would go with the Devil By The Deed storyline.Of course people would gripe that he looks too much like Venom,but what can you do.
Eh, I hated Spider-Man 2. It just had a lot of problems in my opinion.....the first movie was the best. And yeah, I do expect the writers on Thor to change something, but hopefully common sense will prevail and they'll keep it relatively the same. As for the Hulk, it was absolutely necessary they reboot that franchise. Having the Hulk's dad be the villain in that movie and not having the Hulk side of him show up until half way through the movie killed it. I remember when I was in the theater watching the movie, people actually got up and left pissed off that he hadn't transformed yet.
The Hulk reboot is said to simple and straight to the point from what I've heard. Also, from watching the trailer for Iron Man, you can tell that they've kept the origin from the comics. Rich spoiled billionaire gets injured after being ambushed/attacked, sees what is really going on with humanity, and decides to turn his handicap into a weapon. In fact, most of these comic books shouldn't be too hard to adapt to films, but most directors and writers feel the unnecessary need to leave their own mark on the characters. It's pretty sad when the 25 to 30 page comic books tell a better story than the movies.
Too true.
I do dissagree about Spider-Man.The second movie is by far the best of the franchise on so many levels.As far as the Hulk goes,I just feel like they should wait a little longer to revamp it,and who is the Hulk's villian gonna be?
Why can't these filmmakers learn from Chistopher Nolan?If you are gonna make a comic book movie,make a good one.
Well, from what's been said, it's basically going to have a 5 minute basic retelling of Hulk's origin (the bare basics, none of what occurred in the first will be canon). The Abomination will be the Hulk's villain in this one also. So at least we'll see a classic battle, I guess. Edward Norton's going over the script too, and if I remember correctly, he's been known to be a perfectionist. In one interview about the movie, he said that's he's been reading the comics like crazy to get the character down straight. It looks like Iron Man is heading down that path too.
Here's an update on the Thor movie.
"Last week came the news that Kenneth Branagh was the favored contender to direct Marvel's 'Thor' movie. MTV Splash Page checked in with writer J. Michael Straczynski, currently revitalizing the character in comics, to get his opinion of the potential helmer."

That's Namor the Sub Mariner.
I took out the factual error, but still Tunsty's post still summed up my feelings. The Comic Book genre has gone into overkill lately and due to the Dark Knight's success im sure it will go on a lot longer which I suppose for some people is good, but not all comic book movies are like the Dark Knight, I would say 70-80% of the time they are totally terrible.
But thats just my opinion :hatsoff:
