News Update

It's now June and unfortunately, half of the big summer movies are slowly beginning to leave theaters. Ahead of us we have Transformers 2, Public Enemies, Harry Potter 6, and GI Joe. These seem like the last exciting movies we have this summer but right now I have news of many upcoming blockbuster films.
MARVEL UPDATES:
-The producer of Spider-Man 4, Todd Black, has said that Kirsten Dunst(Mary Jane) will return for the next installment of the franchise. Black also said that they are currently deciding on who the villain will be. He said that whoever the bad guy is, he/she will have a big connection with New York city. This leaves me guessing that Kingpin will be the villain. Kingpin is a billionaire crime lord that has immense strength. He is a villain in comics like Daredevil, Spider-Man, and many others.
-Ryan Reynolds did a great job playing Wade Wilson/Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and he is not done playing the "Merc with a mouth" yet. Reynolds commented on the progress of the new Deadpool movie that is in pre-production. He said that he has control on his character so that means that fans of the character will love how close the filmmakers follow the comics. This is one that I can't wait for.



-We now have a first look at Mickey Roruke in the upcoming Iron Man 2. In the second Iron Man, Mickey Roruke plays the villain Whiplash who has a few sweet inventions of his own including a pair of long whips.

-The director of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Michael Bay, posted on his site different ways that the sequel is better than the first. The list included better effects, more character development, and that the film showing in IMAX theaters will actually be a little longer than the cut in regular theaters. This is due to the fact that Michael Bay used IMAX cameras to film certain parts of the film. Michael Bay also made sure that Transformers would have four weeks in IMAX theaters so sorry Harry Potter fans, you will have to wait until July 29th to see Harry on the BIG screen.
