Updates on all your favorite funny-book characters


From SHH, "We havent heard a whole lot about Captain America and the movie that is in the works but Kevin Feige was nice enough to spill the beans that the film is in fact in the works and progressing well. Quote from MTV:
"Captain America is in development right now," Feige promised. "There's a writer named David Self working on the script, and it's part of the new slate we're doing with Paramount. I think it's going to be pretty exciting. He's a few more years away, but what's coming together is going to make fans very happy."
I really enjoyed the Ultimate Avenger films and would like to see Captain America in a live action film."

The new head of Marvel Kevin Feige took the time to address some questions about the new HULK movie and the future of Spiderman when he talked to MTV. First off he addressed the question whether Eric Bana would return with a pretty vague answer.
"It's much too early for specifics," Feige said. "But Hulk remains one of our biggest characters, second only to Spider-Man in terms of popularity, so we're going to bring it back to the screen in a big way."
That is show biz talk for, we dont know yet. Which is fair. Not like Hulk 2 is coming out next summer or anything. He also shared some information on what we could expect in the Spiderman Movie franchise, and just how many more films we might get. The word is good since looks like we could be getting a ton more films.
"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," he promised. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

It's juvenile, but I snicker when they say that Hulk is one of their biggest characters. "We're psyched about this movie, only Galactus is taller than the Hulk...and Giant Man, of course."

And if they really plan to cull all 50 years of Spiderman history, they need to stop killing off the characters. Fifty years of the same comic book? That's more like ten years played over five times, and I'm being generous.
