Galactus is Coming…to the Marvel Cinematic Universe


Ever since Marvel Comics created its own movie studio back in ’08 there where much vaunted characters that remained with other movie studios. But as it turns out, time is running short on some high end characters.

Daredevil and the Fantastic Four have been apart of Fox for years now and the contract, for Daredevil at least, will end before the year is out. Currently, according to Variety, Marvel is in talks with Fox to allow them to keep Daredevil past the deadline of October 10th. Marvel will in turn get both Galactus and Silver Surfer in their stable.

If this goes through Joe Carnahan will direct. His version is said to be more like a Frank Miller tale, hardcore and something akin to a ‘70s thriller. This would be the most apt take on the Superhero as his is very similar to Batman in terms of it being a Crime Drama. This would be a harder sell to Disney, the now Parent Company of Marvel.



Chronicle director Josh Trank is slated to reboot the Fantastic Four franchise, but he may have to direct a few other movies before he gets to Fantastic Four, if not the four may revert back to Marvel anyway. This will be one to keep a close watch on for those of you hopping Marvel will get them back.

I liked the Fantastic Four but the villains where either under utilized or not adapted well. Trank seems to have the visionary chops to handle a property as expansive as the Fantastic Four. He might just be the guy to get them back on track. But only time will tell.

Iron Man 3 Posters: Mandarin and Iron Patriot

 Marvel has released two new posters for Iron Man 3. First is Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin looking Pimp! It seems like he beat Iron Man and stole Tony's glasses. Second is Don Cheadle wearing an Iron Patriot-Esq type of armor. Hopefully we will see a lot of screen time with it. And last is Guy Pearce. Holding glasses of his own and looking mean, I hope he has good screen time too. I always liked him as an actor and hopped he gets bigger roles. Iron Man 3 is set to release here in the states May 3rd. See you in the theater!
