Superhero Stuff

Ok here goes:

The new untitled Batman movie

Following on from the huge success that was the Dark Knight, poor ol’ Chris Nolan has a tough job ahead of him. Though he will do it. Im sure of it.

There are a few speculations surrounding this movie, such as:

-    The Riddler will be the main villain. No one has been cast for him as of yet but there were rumours flying around about it being Johnny Depp, or even Eddie Murphy. Don’t believe these rumours. It will be an actor that is on the same level as Heath Ledger was when he was cast as the Joker. Personally, I feel the Riddler wont even be the main villain. I think he will be a background character, haunting Batman with his riddles and only revealed near the end of the film.
-    Catwoman will be in the next one. I am pretty sure this goes without saying. A lot of people think it could be Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, or even Cher (Yes. Cher). I don’t think it will be any of these though Angelina would be a good bet as she has that sultry, sexy thing going on that is required for Catwoman. I think the money should be on Emily Blunt. Catwoman may not be a villain as such but more a rogue character.
-    A lot of people have said that the Penguin wont be in this film and I do believe them. Chris Nolan did say he felt the Penguin to be too unbeleiveable for his movies. He could however be a large mob boss with a nickname of the Penguin. That would work.

The movie should be out next year. People are wondering if the Joker will be in it, and he just might. Apparently, the production team have some unused fottage of the Joker that they can manipulate into a jail scene. Or the other alternative is using another actor to play Heath’s role. The favourite is Joseph Gordon Levitt.

The possible Wonder Woman movie

I have heard that this may be in the works, but really, who wants to see chick superheroes dominating a screen. They are OK as sidekicks.

Anyway, Beyonce was rumoured to be a possible option to don the red and whites. Ref: Lady Gaga video, telephone. She would be a good choice. Wonder Woman is an African chick.

The new Avengers movie

OK. If you have read my write up on Ironman 2 then you would have read me blabbing on about an Avengers movie. What are the Avengers? They are a team of superheroes consisting of (in this case) Ironman, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain America. Ironman and the hulk have already been setup (we are talking the Edward Norten version of the Hulk).

If you were smart you would notice a few hints that this movie is all go. In Ironman, if you waited till after the credits there is a scene with Nick Fury stating to Tony Stark that they were thinking about putting a team together called ‘The Avenger Initiative”. Also in that first movie, when Tony is in his awesome workshop you will notice a Captain America shield lying on the table.

In the Incredible Hulk, after the credits once more, Tony Stark actually meets up with the general and informs him that they were putting a team together. This was totally awesome when it happened as it actually cross referenced with Ironman.
Another few sceptical scenes in the hulk are when the Hulk gets struck by lightening and throws a rock into the sky, apparently you can see a hint of something crashing to the ground. That something is meant to be either Thor or his hammer. Also, an alternative opening scene sees Edward Norten turn into the Hulk near a ice cliff and he blows it apart. Apparently when he does that, you see Captain Americas body go flying through the air, awakening him from his icy prison. That is bullshit though. I cant see shit when I watch that scene.

Now, with Ironman 2, there were a few references. The Captain America shield is evident again, and even spoken of. The Avengers Initiative is talked about in much more depth. A news report discussing the hulk smashing up a campus (as he did in his film) is there, and, if you wait till the end, a SHIELD agent lets his boss know that they have found it. It being Thors hammer.

Tight.

So, we have two more movies to come before the Averngers will appear, and they are:

Thor

They cast Aussie semi nobody Chris Hemsworth as the lead. It is a good choice I feel. He looks bad ass, just like Thor and he is a pretty good actor too. It will put his name in lights, this movie. Some will remember him as the lifeguard Kim from ‘Home and Away’.
That movie should be out sometime early next year.

Captain America

They have apparently given the lead role of Cap to Chris Evans. Yeah – they guy who played the Human Torch on the Fantastic 4 movies. This is bull crap. Why should he play 2 superheroes???? Its just like the Ryan Reynolds debarcle (he being Deadpool, Hannibal King from Blade, Green Lantern, and supposedly the Flash – what the hell!!!?!)

But yeah, not much more has is known about this movie as of yet.

Others

-    Apparently there is a new Superman movie in the works and Chris Nolan has been asked to ‘help out’ with it.
-    The Flash movie
-    Green Lantern movie
-    Aqua man movie. Leonardo di Caprio to play the lead role instead of Vinnie Chase

That’s about it for now. Will keep you posted.

P.S. Have aloof on youtube and google images for back up pics and videos to these stories for now. I will upload them shortly
