I'm kinda bored right now, so rather then have 2 or 3 (or more) threads going about different marvel movie projects I thought I'd try to start one to talk about all of them. Heres the latest (as far as I know) news about the projects marvel is working on.

X-men 2 - not much to say about this one, everyone has seen the trailer and whos in it and the basic storyline. The only new thing I think to add is that at the comicon it was said that Nightcrawlers backstorywill be closer to the Ultimate Nightcrawler rather then the "classic" Nightcrawler.

Hulk - I'm not a Hulk fan so I havn't really followed this film at all.

Spider-Man 2 - Alfred Molina is now confirmed to play Doc Ock and the Lizard will NOT be in the movie. Black Cat may be. Its also confirmed that James Franco will return. Its also rumored that JJJ will put on a Spider-Man suit at some point in the movie (your guess is as good as mine).

Blade3 - Snipes wants to do a third one, but not a fourth, once Blade 3 is finished he wants to do Black Panther. The film is going to start filming soon and should be out in August 2004. Hannibal King and Frank Drake will make an apperence in the movie. Luke Goss is will probably also return as Nomack.

Ghostrider - The script is being re-writen and apparently Nick Cage, while still a favorite to play the character, isn't signed on to play the character yet. Also Mark Steven Johnson is also interested in doing either Captain America or Ghostrider.

Ironman - Is being writen and is pre-production. They want it out by 2005. No one has been cast but Avi Arad would love Tom Cruiser to play Tony Stark/Shellhead.

Fantastic Four - Tristan Patterson is apparently signedon as the writer while Peyton Reed will direct it. Avi Arad has said he would want George Cloony as Reed Richards and Trish Stratus (WWE diva) as Sue Storm.

Punisher - Avi Arad has said they will "start on Punisher soon". It is being writen by Michael Tolkin (new to the project), but the final script isn't finished and Jonathan Hensleigh is apparently onboard to direct. Kurt Russel is not in it, but Thomas Jane could very well be Punisher - hes been offered the role.

Daredevil 2 - I'm sure its now in the works as well

Silversurfer - Is just started pre-production, has no writer, no directer or any actors attacted to it yet.

Any comments and/or news to add.

Iron Fist is suppose to happen. Ray Park ( Darth Maul, Toad ) is suppose to be Iron Fist.

Unfortuntaly Iron Fist has been held up in developmental hell since X-men, whena project is held up that long, generally speaking, it doesn't get made.

the perfet ff would be as follows:

george clooney - reed richards
connie neilson (of "one hour photo" fame) - sue storm
sean williams scott - johnny storm
david kieth (jack murdock from daredevil) - ben grimm

kevin klein looks just like tony stark too but it's not likley

I think the guy who played Puddy in Seinfeld and the Tick (I forget his name) would be the perfect Ben Grimm. david kieth is too old. I also think Ashley Judd would be the best Sue Storm, but Trish could do a good job too.

That sucks! I would of loved to seen Iron Fist.
As for Iron Man I dont like him but Tom Cruise would do a good part. And the Mandarin I believe Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ( Shang Tsung Mortal Kombat The Movie ) will do a good part.

Iron First may still happen, I'm just saying that movie has "been in the works" since 2000 and there hasn't been any news on it for a while, generally that means its dead in the water.

<<Its also rumored that JJJ will put on a Spider-Man suit at some point in the movie (your guess is as good as mine). >>

LOL, I can only imagine. Maybe to pose for some incriminating Spidey pictures so he can turn public opinion against him again? Hell, I really don't care why. It's gonna be funnier than a bat in a toilet no matter how they do it. Just imagine a middle-aged, crotchety guy in the Spidey outfit: instant comedy!

<<Snipes wants to do a third one, but not a fourth, once Blade 3 is finished he wants to do Black Panther. >>

Snipes as Blade AND Black Panther? Then here's an interesting question: Blade vs. Black Panther, who wins? Duh, Wesley Snipes! ::Rimshot.:: Heh.

<<Avi Arad has said he would want George Cloony as Reed Richards and Trish Stratus (WWE diva) as Sue Storm.>>

Okay, at this point I just have to ask WTF the casting people are smoking. Not that I don't enjoy any and every excuse to see more of Trish (especially in one of those skin-tight FF uniforms, ROWRRR), it's just the age difference between her and Clooney. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm admittedly not a FF connoisseur, but I thought that Sue and Reed were at least approximately the same age, and I'm fairly sure Clooney's got a few years on Trish. That, and I don't think I'd feel quite right if the 2 started smoochin' on screen... YEESH, just got a mental image of that one. Now I feel all dirty.

Please excuse me, I must now return to my alcove and recharge. Good day.

"It's gonna be funnier than a bat in a toilet no matter how they do it. Just imagine a middle-aged, crotchety guy in the Spidey outfit: instant comedy!" - Please keep in mind its just a RUMOR, it might be total bull####.

Ya, Snipes has wanted to do Black Panther for a long time, before he did the Blade series. He did an interview when Blade first came out and he said he wanted to do BP back then.

"Someone correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm admittedly not a FF connoisseur, but I thought that Sue and Reed were at least approximately the same age, and I'm fairly sure Clooney's got a few years on Trish" - I think Reed is susposed to be a few years older then sue (his hair is graying). Trish is in her mid-late 20's and Clooney is in her early 40's I think - but he can pass as younger. I'd also rather see Cloony kiss Trish then what Vince has made her do before

I heard from a friend that Leonardo Dicaprio might star as tony stark, since they don't need Leo to do anything but portray the playboy tony.... :mad:

I might get pissed if it ends up as a romantic flick...

-SPOON!-

trish stratus does indeed look fantastic, but I wouldn't want to see her as sue storm, the need someone that comes off as motherly yet hot, i.e. connie neilson, ashley judd

(simpsons comic book guy says) leonardo dicaprio for tony stark sounds more like leonardo di ####io
