Sad.

Is the character going to be rooted in the story of 'The Incredible Hulk', though? Or are they going to assume its a third history altogether? That's what I want to know.

Wow. It looks like ... Colin ... Farrell.

@justinishulk Nolan really has very little to do with 'Man of Steel' any longer, though he's still a credited producer. He got everything ramped it up and then handed it off to Zack Snyder to go and make the film. Then, he turned his full attention to 'The Dark Knight Rises'. He might have some final say in the editing of 'MoS', though.

I always knew that once 3D was forced upon us again, Smell-O-Vision wasn't far behind. Gussy it up with whatever fancy name you want, it's still a scratch-and-sniff card that does very little for your theater experience when it really comes down to it.

Better be Catwoman. You don't not include Robin and then decide to and screw Dick Grayson over.

I never liked the idea of a TV series set between Ep. III and Ep. IV anyway. The whole timeline has been played to death. Give me a 'Knights of the Old Republic' series that doesn't have to worry about stepping on continuity in the existing movies. And, at some point, you can settle for what they are doing in SFX on TV today. With the advancements made on the film end and what they're doing with quality Sci-Fi shows, you can come to some happy medium that doesn't break the business. If you're that concerned about the quality, George, than TV is not the way to go.

Oh, that's brilliant!

This is all very encouraging but also not surprising. Think what you will about Anne Hathaway, the woman is and has always been a committed actress.

...

'Cause heaven forbid we have an X-Men movie that doesn't involve Wolverine in some fashion.

@k-man @cupid 'Man of Steel' falls under the current agreement. Any sequels would have to be negotiated for. If there were to be a split in rights - which, honestly, would do neither party any good - it would affect any sequels as well as any new films, TV shows, animated series, etc.

Short of adding all new scenes, there is not a single thing 3D will add to the narrative of any of the 'Star Wars' films. And Lucas knows that. What the hell is having a dewback walking away from me on-screen instead of standing idly by in 2D going to offer me to improve the story? Is feeling like I'm "right in the podrace" really going to add any depth to the script or Jake Lloyd's performance? Quick trying to huck me, huckster.

@dr-carter Well, they are resetting all of the comics back to #1 here shortly.... ;-)

Actually, they say it has to do with the movie world of the DCU. I would bet this is them finally caving on the issue and announcing that all of the movies will somehow connect to a larger DCMovieU, starting with 'Man of Steel' but likely using 'Green Lantern' as a reference point.

It's an IMDb cast list. Should never be used as proof, evidence or corroboration until after a movie has been released. And even then it might not accurate.

Sweet lord. That's amazing! Love Ed Harris.

@jptheredskull Space has been using the Williams Superman theme in their promos for years now. I've liked that the CW has been using the Krypton theme in theirs. And as much as I've enjoyed Louis Febre's work, I do hope he manages to incorporate Williams' themes into the actual episodes.

They really were packing a punch for the end. Never would've guessed they'd bring in the whole planet of Apokolips to attack the Earth. This is the perfect way for Clark to step out into the world as Superman.

I say let's wait to see how they do in 'The Avengers' first. Personally, ScarJo didn't do much for me as Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2', so I don't have high hopes for her in 'Avengers' let alone fronting her own film. Also, I'd wait to see her chemistry on-screen with Renner before deciding that putting the two of them together in their own film is a good idea.

As for Hawkeye by himself, I've always felt that he could be used in Marvel movies in the most unique way of all of the characters. With characters like Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, the X-Men, etc., they have such clearly defined story arcs and villains, it's hard to really deviate from what was there in the comics. With Hawkeye, you have the ability to explore all kinds of genres and all kinds of stories you normally wouldn't. He's the perfect "everyman" of the heroes to allow for this kind of thing.

I've always looked at him as Marvel's James Bond in relation to movies. Not James Bond from the espionage aspect that clearly Nick Fury would most emulate, but that James Bond's film career is marked by a number of different stories that didn't necessarily hinge on any other story.

Hawkeye could be used in such a fashion and done on the relative cheap. You want a heist movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, use Hawkeye. You want a conspiracy thriller in the MCU, use Hawkeye. You want an action buddy comedy in the MCU, use Hawkeye. You want to go all out with the 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' style romantic adventure with Mockingbird, use Hawkeye.

There's a lot of freedom on Marvel's part with him.

@Kon-El Yes, Hawkeye and Black Widow were romantically involved at one point. But Mockingbird is the Black Canary to his Green Arrow.
