In 2009 we didn’t get our Marvel blockbuster fix, instead we got more Transformers and more Potter, but 2010 will be a different story. Iron Man is back and he’s going to kick off an awesome line up of Marvel films that will cover the next two years. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige recently spoke to SFX Magazine about the upcoming film slate including the superhero team up movie, The Avengers.
What actor in their right mind would leave a gig on one of the most anticipated films of the new decade? I don’t know of any so when you get a name, let me know. Until then, here’s a casting shake up that marks a drastic shift in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor movie. Stuart Townsend was originally signed on to star in the film as one of the Warriors Three, but that’s no longer the case. The actor suddenly quit the film, and has been replaced.
Is Marvel on crack? Have they been sniffing the glue at the House of Mouse? Spider-Man 4 has enough problems on its plate without this latest piece of news. The upcoming Spidey film and Kenneth Branagh’s Thor were set to debut within weeks of each other during the summer of 2011, but that schedule has gone out the window. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the shifting of Thor’s release date is one of them.
Now that 2010 is officially here, production on Kenneth Branagh’s Thor is about to begin and President Kevin Feige has dropped the latest behind the scenes update. The film will start shooting later this month, the cast recently underwent costume tests, and according to Feige it was like nothing he’d ever seen before.
Ever since the debut of the first teaser trailer for Iron Man 2, fans of the franchise have been longing for more. The main reason has nothing to do with Tony Stark, but the transformation of James Rhodes into his sidekick War Machine. We get a quick glimpse of the hero towards the end of the trailer and his character looks very promising. MTV recently caught up with Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada and he revealed that War Machine will be everything we want and more…
Stan Lee is known for making small cameo appearances in almost every Marvel film, since he helped create the majority of the properties adapted. He already showed up in last year’s Iron Man, so his next appearance will be in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. The comic legend recently tweeted about his role in the upcoming film, and he claims it will be epic.
If you thought the cast for Marvel’s upcoming movie Thor had already approached its actor quota, you were wrong. Over at MTV co-star Natalie Portman revealed that Kat Dennings from Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist will also star in the film, but the biggest question is as who?
Idris Elba is everywhere these days and I’m loving every minute of it. The former star of HBO’s The Wire, as well as the upcoming comic adaptation, The Losers has just hit the mother load. According to THR Elba has just been cast in Kenneth Branagh’s live action adaptation of Thor.
Three beefy roles have been cast in Kenneth Branagh’s upcoming live action adaptation of Thor. According to Variety, Stuart Townsend, Ray Stevenson, and Tadanobu Asano are all set to play the Warriors Three in the film. There were already rumors that the characters would be involved, so here are the actors attached to play them.
