Nikki Finke is reporting that British actor Tom Hiddleston, who is almost a complete unknown to American [...]
Great casting, Marvel. Who needs a “name” actor?
Talk about spot-on casting. I’ve just learned that Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and director Kenneth Branagh have chosen their THOR — and it’s Chris Hemsworth, who can currently be seen as “George Kirk” in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot and also just snagged the lead in Red Dawn [...]
“Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice. They didn’t keep their word. They didn’t honor my contract. They produced a great bounty with the first one but they put it all in the storehouse and you were not allowed in. They did the same thing with Gwyneth Paltrow, from what [...]

IESB’s has heard word around town is Fantastic Four over at 20th Century Fox is gearing up for a reboot. The franchise is looking to be “less bubble gum” this time round following the Iron Man template, which was a complete success in reviews and box office take but a bit darker when it [...]

Kenneth Branagh is a great pick to helm this movie…
“We spent seven or eight hours with Kenneth where he meticulously took us through the beats of the ‘Thor’ movie along with [Marvel Studios head] Kevin Feige and our friends at Marvel West,” Quesada told MTV. “We just sat there, and it was almost like he [...]
Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar – as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury. Leading up to the events of X-MEN, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE tells the story of Wolverines epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the [...]

While I’m a big Kevin McKidd fan — I mean, he was terrific in HBO’s Rome — I don’t see Kevin getting this gig. I think they’re trying for a bigger a-lister. I mean, Tony Stark was Robert Downey Jr., Hulk was Ed Norton — so Thor will be a well-respected but relatively unknown British [...]
