Besides a few little tid-bits here and there its been a slow couple of days but hey at least its TAX DAY! Here is a super quick Re-Cap of whats going on:
1. Peggy Carter aka Captain America's love interest has been cast and is Hayley Atwell :
Marvel Studios announced today that Hayley Atwell has been cast to star as Peggy Carter in the studio's highly anticipated movie CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER opposite Chris Evans. In the early comics, Peggy Carter fell in love with Captain America while they fought together in the war effort. The character will be updated for the feature adaptation. Joe Johnston will direct the film penned by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige will produce CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Louis D'Esposito will executive produce. The film will be released in the US on July 22, 2011 and distributed by Paramount Pictures. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. Atwell will next be seen in PILLARS OF THE EARTH, the 8-part miniseries premiering July 23 on Starz and the TV series THE PRISONER. Her film credits include THE DUCHESS, BRIDESHEAD REVISITED and CASSANDRA'S DREAM. In addition to CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including the highly anticipated sequel, IRON MAN 2, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow on May 7, 2010, THOR on May 6, 2011, and Marvel Studios’ THE AVENGERS on May 4, 2012.
Never really heard of her before but a quick Google image search leads me to this:
Yeah she's cute, not knowing much about Captain America other than the basics I don't know anything about the character but whatever.
2. Whedon also re-writing Avengers Script
This was kind of expected. Like I said I wouldn't mind if he had a hand in the script but does he really need to be the director on this...really Marvel? REALLY???
3. Brightest Day begins
Yesterday saw the release of Brightest Day 0 and it was a good read/start for the Blackest Night follow-up. It's going to be really interesting to see where this leads. Also, what the hell is going on with DEADMAN??? And the Epilogue, well that basically sold me!
So again it's been slow but maybe things will start to pick up sooner rather than later in the meantime remember that TODAY ONLY you can bring in a travel mug to Starbucks and get FREE COFFEE, I myself don't have any of my mugs with me so I fail but that doesn't stop everyone else from taking advantage.
Till the news picks up, Cya!
