While speaking on the red carpet for his premiere of "Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows", Robert Downey Jr revealed some details on the upcoming sequel to the "Iron Man" franchise. He said that it could be one of the best comic book films to date. This is what Downey Jr said about the upcoming sequel,
“I think that we have an opportunity with the third Iron Man to make the best of the three, and maybe one of the better superhero movies that’s ever been made.
But I think we have to remember what made the first one good. It was very character-driven. It was very odd. It was kind of outrageous. And so I think we have to have the courage to trust that the audience is really kind of cool, and smart.”
He must be pretty confident in new director of the franchise, Shane Black and the films script by writer, Drew Pearce.

News From Comic Book World!
Marvel and Fox making plans for new Frank Castle/Punisher TV show:
It looks like The Punisher ain't returning to the BIG-screen anytime soon boys and girls. Fox have reportedly bought the rights from Marvel Studios to make their own hour-long tv series instead.
This is the info that's been released online about it,
The Punisher is described as an hour-long procedural with a Marvel signature and a new take on one of comic book giant’s iconic characters, Frank Castle, a rising star detective with the NYC Police Department who moonlights as the vigilante Punisher seeking justice for those the system has failed. Bernero will executive produce along with Marvel. This marks the first sale this season and the first one ever outside of ABC for Disney-owned Marvel, which is developing TV series based on its properties through ABC Studios.
Tom "LOKI" Hiddleton reveals when "THOR 2" will begin filming:
Hiddleton confirmed that filming for the "God Of Thunder" sequel will begin filming sometime this Summer down in London with Alan Taylor taking the helm of directing.
This is what he said,
"I have no idea. And without revealing too much, there's a specific skill set you need to be [in] Loki's army - let me know if you have the qualifications. And all I know about Thor 2 is that we're supposed to film it in London in the summer and that it's being directed by Alan Taylor."

"Dragon Tattoo" Sequels On There Way Soon!
Sony have confirmed that both sequels to "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" American remake have been commissioned and that the scripts are complete. The scripts for "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest" have both be wrote by screenwriter, Steve Zaillian.
Filming should hopefully begin either the end of this year or the beginning of 2013 at the latest, with both stars of the first film, Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, reprising their roles. Director David Fincher has still yet to sign the dotted line for returning for the sequels.
Hopefully Fincher will return because the first film was outstanding and I haven't even seen the Swedish original, but I ordered it online and it's arrived so I'll watch it soon. I loved the opening credits for Fincher's one, so here's the link to the credits on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcp9Ysi75f0

First Look At Jeremy Renner As Aaron Cross!
Above is the first official look at Jeremy "Hawkeye" Renner as Aaron Cross in the upcoming "Bourne" spin-off, "The Bourne Legacy".
New "Dark Knight Rises" Trailer & Poster!
Now I know sites have already posted these, but I haven't because I've been offline so here's me doing it now.
Last month saw a brand-new trailer and poster for this years final Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises". The poster is awesome. There's a lot of spec that Bane will break Bruce Waynes back, like in the original comics, and that's why there's a rumored 8 year gap between 2008's "The Dark Knight" and the new one. The poster above shows us something.
The trailer is superb. I do still have some doubt on Tom Hardys Bane, but supposedly his voice will be improved for the final cut of the film. Again, we don't get given much on the films plot, but it's only like 4/5 months till it's out so I'm sure we can wait.
Here's the link to the trailer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEuLVRgmuRI

Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman Not Gonna "Kick-Ass" Anymore?
"Kick-Ass" and "X-Men: First Class" co-writer, Jane Goldman was speaking to MTV about the possibilities of herself and director, Matthew Vaughn returning to work on "Kick-Ass 2". This is what she had to say on the subject,
“I think the only thing that is fairly sure is that right now, Matthew doesn’t have any plans to direct it. He and I are not currently talking about writing it either. It may well be that Matthew oversees ['Kick-Ass 2'] in a producer role, and I may also be involved in that capacity. I know that there is somebody that Matthew has been talking to who would be interested in writing and directing that. That would be cool.”
I love Matthew Vaughn as a director, and would love to see him make "Kick-Ass 2", but maybe he would rather make "X-Men: First Class 2" instead and I'd rather see him make that. But I wonder who he's been speaking to? Maybe Bryan Singer? Singer would be a good choice. Let me know what you guys and gals think!
