Super Hero/Comic Book Movies

Evans will be good I think.
He was perfect as Johnny Storm though, so it will be interesting to see what they do with him as Cap
There was also talk of a rebooted F4 right?
So maybe it wont be that noticeable if its released close to cap?

I see that Angela Basset has been case as Amanda Waller in the Green Lantern movie.  I'll admit, I wasn't really aware of this character prior to the Justice League Unlimited cartoon, but it is neat to see her included now.  It makes me wonder if this is the start of the "shared" universe approach that Marvel is currently using with its Avengers-related movies.  I realize that Nolan recently shared that his Batman and Superman movies are completely seperate from each other, but personally, I'd really like to see the same type of approach that Marvel is using with Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Cap, and the Avengers applied to the Justice League with GL, Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, etc.  I realize it may be a little difficult with the darker/seperate world of the current Batman movies, but I wonder if they'll change that a bit when Nolan is done with his trilogy (since he recently confirmed that the third movie is the "end" of his story).

Is Angela Basset planning to gain 200 pounds?

Bucky Barnes has been cast in the Captain America movie.  The actor's name is Sebastian Stan, one of several who were once rumored to be testing for Cap himself.  I have no idea who he is, but it says in this article that he is from the show Gossip Girl (there is a pic as well).

I think it's safe to assume these will all be stolen from theaters as soon as they go up...

Also, it looks like Marvel finally "officially" officially announced Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America.  Here's the linky.

Unfortunately, we only get 1 of her curvy body parts.

There is a clip from Iron Man 2 now available at the Apple Trailer site.

Rumors are heating up that Joss Whedon may be directing the Avengers movie.

Now THAT would be Awesome!

Thinking about the Avengers movie, which heroes would be in the movie then?

Obviously Iron Man and Captain America, possibly Thor and Hulk.

But what about Hawkeye, Vision, Scarlet Witch.

And what other ones?

What I read so far about Avengers:

Confirmed team members:  Cap, Iron Man, Thor

Probable enemies:  Loki, Hulk

Nick Fury will be in the movie.  Other than that, the membership of the team is unknown.  You can bet they'll have a female, and The Wasp is probably the most likely.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Hank Pym to round out the original Avengers line-up.   

I highly doubt Scarlet Witch... I can't see her powers translating well to live action.  I expect they'll run with the original team.

Well since the last Hulk flick already tied itself in to the Iron Man/Avengers universe, I'd definitely expect to see some Hulkage.
