'Captain Marvel' Lines Up 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Writer
1 hour ago
Marvel is in negotiations with Guardians of the Galaxy writer Nicole Perlman and Inside Out scribe Meg LeFauve to write their Phase Three adventure Captain Marvel. The studio still does not have an actress lined up to play the title character, or a director lined up, but the comic book adaptation already has a November 2, 2018 release date in place. Ironically, producer Kevin Feige revealed during the press day for Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron that they are "very close" to finding the writers for Captain Marvel, while debunking rumors that the character would pop up in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, first debuted in 1968's "Marvel Super-Heroes" #13. She was a U.S. Air Force security chief who is transformed into Captain Marvel following an explosion that involved Kree technology. The character is given superhuman strength and the ability to fly after her DNA was infused with a Kree alien. »

After first entering talks to direct Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman back in November, filmmaker Michelle MacLaren has backed out of the project.

'Hulk' Movie Stalled Because Universal Owns the Rights
2 hours ago
Mark Ruffalo and the rest of his Avengers: Age of Ultron cast mates completed the West Coast portion of their press tour this weekend. And on Saturday, the Hulk star revealed Marvel is still very much interested in doing a Planet Hulk movie. At some point, we'll get to see the green goliath travel into space. But in a new interview with Collider, it sounds as though we're more likely to see that plot happen as part of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as opposed to the Hulk's own standalone movie. Apparently, the reason we haven't heard about a new Hulk solo adventure yet is because Universal Pictures still owns those rights. The actor explains:
"As far as a Hulk movie, a standalone Hulk movie, Marvel doesn't really have the rights to that yet. That's still Universal's property, so there's that issue. That's a big impediment to moving forward with that. »

Last week, we showed you the first cast photo from the set of Suicide Squad, with every main cast member assembled except for Jared Leto. Today, director David Ayer sent out a new photo commemorating the first day of principal photography on the Toronto set, showcasing the first slate used in the production.

During principal photography of David Ayer's last movie, the World War II drama Fury, the director sent out a different photo from the set on every day of shooting, so hopefully we can expect the filmmaker to do the same with Suicide Squad.
