Josh Trank Officially Set For FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot; David Slade Exits DAREDEVIL Reboot

Although Twentieth Century Fox has no big announcements for this week's San Diego Comic-Con, the ever-reliable Deadline has obtained various updates surrounding the studios' Marvel property slate. The site has revealed finalized plans for the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, in addition to a setback for the Daredevil film.

Deadline suggests that, despite having many projects in the works, Chronicle director Josh Trank is in final negotiations to helm the Fantastic Four reboot next. Also, the film will be the next Marvel project on Fox's radar to move into production following The Wolverine & X-Men: First Class sequels. A release date has been locked.

In regards to the Daredevil remake, the site further reports that David Slade has dropped the project, while Fox has been on the hunt for a new director since. With a completed screenplay they're happy, they're hoping to kick off production for the remake before the The Man Without Fear's rights revert back to Marvel Studios. The reason for Slade's departure is timing; mainly having to direct the pilot of a Hannibal series.

Josh Trank was also on Sony's radar to helm their Spidey spin-off, Venom, however, he'll direct F4 first.

Sebastian Stan Will Return As Bucky In CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

As an addendum to the Anthony Mackie/Falcon casting, Variety report that Sebastian Stan will indeed be back for the sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger - now titled "The Winter Soldier". This isn't exactly unexpected, especially when you factor in that Stan has signed a six-picture deal with Marvel, and the title refers to his character!
 
For those unfamiliar with the comic storyline, Stan will - unless there are some drastic alterations made - be playing the antagonist this time around, as he returns after apparently falling to his death as The Winter Soldier, a bionic armed, brainwashed assassin. But now that Cap has some help in the form of The Falcon, don't expect Bucky to be the only one giving the heroes headaches.

Much Better Quality MAN OF STEEL Comic-Con Footage Surfaces

It's still a bootleg of course, but a pretty damn clear one. Aside from going out of focus a couple of times, you can make out the spectacular footage Zack Snyder debuted at SDCC..

Marvel and director Alan Taylor are currently in London prepping the official commencement of filming for the anticipated sequel, Thor: The Dark World. And although primary cast additions have yet to unveil, casting calls for background roles apparently have. According to a Tumblr user, a casting call for the anticipated sequel has revealed producers are in need of extras that're particularly experts with fire. The Tumblr user writes:


“‘Men of Fire

For the a new Marvel Super Hero feature film we are looking for men who are skilled in playing with fire to pretend to be warriors.

The Requirements:
You must be highly skilled with playing with fire example skills include - Spinning, Fire Sticks, Fire Breathing, Fire eating etc’”.

UPDATE: The User has offered verbatim info, which an additional source (Universal Extras) confirms. How do you think fire dancing, eating & breathing relates to Thor's next outing? It's likely to involve earthbound scenes, but more interestingly, it could be one of the other "dark worlds" the Asgardians are bound to pay a visit. Perhaps, the casting call alludes to the sequel exploring Muspelheim, the realm of eternal fire, and the home of the Fire Demons and their ruler Surtur. That could be in addition to the strongly-believed Dark Elves.

The Answer To Where The Joker Was In THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Revealed?

While there were rumours that Heath Ledger's Joker would make a cameo (perhaps using unused footage from The Dark Knight) in The Dark Knight Rises, it accounted to nothing more than talk and Christopher Nolan said on numerous occasions before the release of the film that he wouldn't even mention the villain as a sign of respect to the actor. Nuke The Fridge have posted the following excerpt from Greg Cox's novelization of the film, perhaps shedding some insight into why the villain wasn't one of those who was seen escaping from Blackgate.

Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city’s criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham’s sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina.

UPDATE: Revealing Filming And Scene Details Surface For THOR: THE DARK WORLD

As principal photography nears kickoff for Marvel's anticipated sequel, Thor: The Dark World, the folks over at ComingSoon.Net have received quite a bit interesting information. Highlighting a new filming location, confirming the movie's production title, and revealingly what the scene(s) will consist of, the info reads:

“We're writing to let you know about some filming about to be undertaken in Bourne Wood in the coming months. Please find a brief overview & introduction to this project. “Thursday Mourning” is the working title of a major feature film. It is comic book adaptation set in another "fictional realm." We plan to start prep in Bourne woods in the week of 6th August for a period of 5 weeks where a temporary set will be constructed within the bowl area.

Filming is scheduled to take place for approximately 10 days from 10th September TBC. All of the proposed sequence is due to take place during the day. There is no night filming. We will be establishing a fictional village set in another realm, with yurts and village like dressing in the bowl. The sequence involves a battle between two kingdoms, ending in our comic book hero arriving to save the day. The sequence will involve a substantial amount of Stunts and controlled special effects all within the hours 0700 - 1900hrs.

We plan to use most of the areas that are usually occupied by film units for all our support vehicles. The sequence will involve approximately 300 extras who will arrive in the early hours prior to call time to go through costume and makeup, which we will undertake in marquees positioned on site. As always we will endeavour to keep any noise disruption to an absolute minimum.

We will have very friendly security looking after our set and trucks (most of whom you have probably met before) and to ensure that all members of the public can still enjoy the woods and walk your dogs as normally as possible. We may have to seal our set off periodically to members of the public for safety reasons as there will be quite a lot of activity at certain times. On completion of filming, we will remove all temporary sets and associated equipment and will be completely vacated from Bourne woods by the 13th October.”

ANT-MAN Gearing For A London Shoot; 2014 Release Likely?

Latino Review has broken yet another Marvel Studios scoop. The site (who revealed earlier this summer that Guardians Of The Galaxy would be Marvel's other 2014 project) now says that, following the end of Thor: The Dark World's production this summer, Marvel will begin production on Edgar Wright's Ant-Man in London. The film has been in development for some time, so those who have been looking forward to seeing Wright's take on the Marvel character should be excited to hear this news.

Wright is currently set to film The World's End later this year, reteaming with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Thor: The Dark World will begin production in London next month. So production on Ant-Man should begin sometime next year, as was previously stated by Pegg.

Also, Latino Review says that it's looking likely that Ant-Man will be Marvel's third 2014 release, which has been rumored since the recent debut of Wright's test footage at San Diego Comic-Con. Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the aforementioned Guardians Of The Galaxy are set to be released on April 4th and August 1st, respectively, in 2014. Stay tuned to CBM for all news on Ant-Man.

While we're discussing Thor: The Dark World, Jaimie Alexander (who plays Sif in the first Thor and will reprise the role for the sequel) posted the following on Twitter, teasing her character's new costume. The sequel (directed by Alan Taylor) is set to hit theaters November 8th, 2013.

Bryan Singer Confirms X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST; Teases Connectivity With Past Films

Talking to IGN Movies, Bryan Singer (X-Men, X-2) has confirmed that Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class sequel will be called Days of Future Past. The title has been rumoured for a while now, but this is the first official word we've heard from someone involved with the sequel. Revealing that it will deal with, "aspects of that comic" it is based on, Singer seemingly hints that time travel will indeed play a role as he discusses an expanded universe and more connectivity between these prequels and the past X-Men movies. Does this mean that we'll see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine appear? How about the "Original Five" X-Men? Stay tuned for further details as we get ever closer to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past in July, 2014.


"I can say that it's being written right now and it will start shooting in a few months. It's going to be very ambitious; it's called Days of Future Past and it deals with aspects of that comic, but also some very new things. I don't want to give any of it away. Matthew Vaughn will be directing and I'm totally excited about it."

"I think there's a strong desire to broaden out the universe. I mean, the X-Men universe is every bit on its own as big as the Marvel universe. I think it's time to reach out and explore it and perhaps even bring some connectivity between the films as Marvel has done so well. You may seem some of that."

Christopher Eccleston Cast As Malekith The Accursed In THOR: THE DARK WORLD!

According to Deadline, Christopher Eccleston has been set for the villain role in Marvel Studios’ Thor sequel. The actor, probably best known to sci-fi fans for his turn as the ninth Doctor Who, will play the Dark Elf ruler, Malekith The Accursed. Obviously that also confirms the earlier rumor that Thor will be taking on the Dark Elves in the movie.

Hugh Jackman Shows New Look For THE WOLVERINE; Comments On Filming In Kurnell

Once again thanking Sutherland Shire for allowing Fox to film his X-Men: Origins sequel, The Wolverine, actor Hugh Jackman displayed his new look, facially, for the film sans the unbreakable claws. Also sharing with the Leader a downside to playing the mutant, in regards to filming, check out the photos and what he says below.

Dressed & made up as his character Logan, the actor personally thanked mayor Carol Provan:

“It’s a beautiful spot here. This is the first time I’ve been to Kurnell and the location is great. Yesterday I was up at half past three and this morning I was up at quarter to five. They got to do some shots without me this morning, so I got a bit of a sleep in. This is the second and final day of shooting on-site at Kurnell. Production for the film will continue around Sydney and a few weeks in Japan before it wraps up mid-November.”

Hugh Jackman Arrives On "Yukon" Set Of THE WOLVERINE

The other day I was informed by my source that Hugh Jackman's character Wolverine/Logan will be headed into town to buy camping gear. As you can see in the set photos below an old hardware shop in Picton has been converted into a hiking/camping shop. Also, a bar will be featured in the movie, that is why you will see a mural in of a moose promoting "Ed's Bar."

Why is this important? What does it mean? Well a savvy CBM user pointed out that this could be scenes emulating the beginning of Frank Miller's "Japanese Saga" in "Wolverine #1." In that version of the tale Wolverine/Logan is seen in the Canadian Rockies pursuing a man-eating grizzly bear. During the eventual confrontation Wolverine notices that the bear has an arrow lodged in it's back. A closer examination reveals that the tip of the arrow had traces of poison and is the cause of the bear erratic behavior.

Wolverine then seeks out the hunter that poisoned the bear. He picks up his scent from the bear's cave and follows it all the way to the local pub, "Josie's Bar 'N' Grill." Wolverine identifies the hunter and when approached a one-sided fight encures.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD Gearing Up For Filming At the Stonehenge Monument

As previously noted, the commencement of filming for Thor: The Dark World is set for the first week of September. And while it's already expected to explore underground tunnels in London, the woodland hills in Bourne Wood, and the island country of Iceland, another rather ancient shooting location for the upcoming Marvel sequel has been spotted.

According to Lucjan Kaliniecki of Twitter, and other sources, filming for the Alan Taylor-directed Thor followup is gearing up at the Stonehenge prehistoric monument, located in southwest England. While famous for being one of the world's last unexplained structures, the circular setting of large upright stones is believed to be over 5,000 years old.

Although the ancient landmark of Wiltshire county has appeared in many movies, BBC's fifth Doctor Who series' big finale is most notable for shooting at the location.

It is unclear whether the ancient monument will only feature in earthbound scenes of Thor: The Dark World, or if it's doubling for one of the Nine realms the sequel will explore. However, the Stonehenge has made several appearances in the Marvel Comics Universe, describing it as a “mystic place.” At one point, it was used as a portal.
