While a fairly substantial majority of you decided that The Avengers would NOT be beaten at the box office by The Dark Knight Rises; the yes, no and maybe options were completely crushed by the fourth option that it simply doesn't matter. Why? Well, as it says below, it's because WE are the real winners here. While it seems that there will always be mediocre comic book adaptations (here's looking at you Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance), there's no getting around the fact that the films which do well financially and are actually GOOD deserve our money because it means we get more of them. Does any "Marvelite" really want Warner Bros. to stop making DC movies? Does any "Nolanite" really want Marvel to stop bringing their characters to the big screen?

Abrams' Star Trek sequel. When asked whether he would be donning prosthetics to play some sort of alien, the actor replied.. “No. do I look like an alien to you? No man. Let me put it this way. I have my own ship" Weller then produced a picture of his seven-month-old baby boy sitting in the Captain’s chair on the bridge of a starship. Apparently it was hard to make out too much from it, but it looked very similar to the bridge of the Enterprise - which at least implies it is a Federation vessel. But looking back at what was already revealed about Weller's character (“it’s a substantial role and… Peter is playing a C.E.O.”), a C.E.O. with hisWed, 16 May 2012 06:11 MSThttp://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/johnarturo/news/?a=59824If you are a Deadpool fan then you cannot miss this set of Deadpool Corps mini-busts that will not only look good on your shelves, but have you laughing your butt off as well! The edition size of this set is still to be determined, but you can probably figure on it being a low run because of the limited fanbase of these characters. You can pre-order these at Gentle Giant's website. Pulled from his home reality of Earth-616 by The Contemplator, Wade Wilson was introduced to four versions of himself from alternate universes, including a dog, a child, a zombified head and a woman. Together, these five incarnations of Deadpool formed the Deadpool Corps, and they adventured together aboard their space ship, The Bea Arthur to take on a threat to the Marvel Multiverse only known as The Awareness. Seriously, we can’t make this stuff up.

But will we see Joss Whedon back in the director's chair? Kevin Feige has already revealed that there is an option in his contract, but will the man himself want to take advantage of it? While speaking to LA Times' Hero Complex Whedon sounds uncertain, and definitely seems to be in two minds about it.. “You know, I’m very torn. It’s an enormous amount of work telling what is ultimately somebody else’s story, even though I feel like I did get to put myself into it. But at the same time, I have a bunch of ideas, and they all seem really cool.” I'm sure he's just feeling a bit jaded after all the hard work from the first movieTue, 15 May 2012 18:18 MSThttp://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=59802 The past ten years or so has seen The Avengers disassemble, the wiping out of nearly the entire mutant race, a Civil War between the superheroes, a Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn's Dark Reign, and the superheroes reassembling to take on him and later Fear Itself. These stories have all been connected and there has been plenty going on with the X-Men too. Now that all comes to a head with Avengers Vs. X-Men. "We have some moves planned," teases Axel Alonso in an interview with Newsarama. "The Marvel Universe is changed by AvX. It is not a reboot or a retcon. It is the Marvel Universe that you grew up in. But this story in many ways sort of serves as an endcap to a decade's worth of stories that we've been telling, and I think it begins a great first chapter for the next decade's worth of stories we're going toTue, 15 May 2012 15:57 MSThttp://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=59799 The Avengers have been smashing box office records left and right. They opened with a thunderous haul of $200 million in their opening weekend and continued the moment with a strong second weekend take of $100 million. At the domestic box office the film is just shy of $400 million after ten days, and has accumulated over $600 million overseas making the film join the exclusive billion dollar club. What many people didn't know was that The Avengers tremendous performance is extremely good news for Robert Downey Jr.'s pockets. His savvy agent renegotiated his contract with Marvel after the success of Iron Man that allowed him a slice of Marvel's revenues. Factor that in with his bonuses and the actor is about to make some Tony Stark-like money, to the sum of $50 million. According to multiple knowledgeable sources, Iron Man/Tony Stark is set for a high-flying payday of about $50Tue, 15 May 2012 15:25 MSThttp://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=59796Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures Marvel’s The Avengers--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Well, The Amazing Spider-Man is offering something of an incentive. By hunting down a certain number of comic book pages, you'll actually get the comic book to read in the game (and in HD if you're playing on either the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360). The more you find, the more comics you unlock. Check out some new screenshots below and find even more details by following the link at the bottom of the page. Tue, 15 May 2012 13:16 MSThttp://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=59792According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox have hired Scott Z. Burns to work on the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, with original writers Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa also on board. Fox have already locked in Rupert Wyatt and Andy Serkis to return as Caesar, no word yet on whether James Franco will reprise his role. They also briefly report on how the story will continue, which isn't exactly difficult to predict in fairness.. The new project is taking the story to the next level, with the apes on the path to emerge as society’s new rulers. I'm sure Burns' work on Contagion will serve him well when dealing with the sequel's human-killing virus plot. There is no official release date yet, but last we heard the studio was aiming for Summer, 2014.

Zod looks like a predator, a warrior" The always "reliable" IMDB has furnished us with yet another possible description of scenes from the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. I would normally not post something that comes from IMDB, but the descriptions sound pretty believable. I’m a visual effects supervisor for the upcoming film After.Earth, the M. Night picture. I’ve also done work on Avatar, Iron Man, and Sin City. I’m on IMDb. I’ll admit I check my own page from time to time. It feels good. I frequent this board often, I’m a huge comic book fan (as shown by the movies I’ve worked on). Last night at a VFX conference there was a sizzle reel shown by Weta.

Despite the fact that Fox and ABC Studios were planning on moving ahead with Criminal Minds' Ed Bernero on a pilot, Paul Lee (the president of the latter network) has confirmed that it is not moving ahead. No reason was given, but you can read his comments about working on other Marvel TV shows by clicking HERE. The series was originally described as an hour-long procedural which would have made Frank Castle a rising NYPD detective who moonlights as The Punisher in order to seek justice for those that the system failed.

"Hulk is in development,it wasn't going to be ready this season but we hope it's going to be ready for next season." Fan favorite Guillermo del Toro (Hell Boy, Pan's Labrynth) is developing the project the television network which also has Disney for a parent company. "We're immensely proud to be [in] company with The Avengers," he said. "We're going to continue to develop aggressively. We're very happy to make shows not just for our own network but for other networks too. Where the shows are more appropriate to our brand they'll go with us. Where they're more appropriate to brands like Fox [Click here for disappointing news about The Punisher] or NBC, CBS, happy to do that too. We would like to see some Marvel projects move to television."
