Hey it's Melvin! posted a statusThere were simply too many superhero news stories today to fit into individual posts, so we're packing it all into one giant-sized extravaganza! Today we have rumors about a possible director for 'Iron Man 3', Zack Snyder chats about the new 'Superman' film, 'The Avengers' may have even more recognizable S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and last (but not least) Fox shows us the first glimpse of 'X-Men: First Class'!

THR is reporting that writer/director Shane Black is currently in the running to helm the third outing in the 'Iron Man' franchise, now that Jon Favreau has left the series. This rumor has led to a vast increase in fanboys praying to their maker and/or selling their souls to the devil in order to make this happen.
Black, a sharp director with a keen eye for dialog is best known for movies such as 'Lethal Weapon' and 'The Last Boy Scout' and has previously worked with Robert Downey Jr. on 2005's 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' which Black directed and co-wrote. It's even rumored that RDJ consulted with Black prior to his role in Iron Man to nail down the "Tony Stark" style.
Insiders say that it's far from a sure thing, but seriously - if Marvel wants to make another stellar Iron Man movie, Black is the guy they need.

During a short interview with SFX magazine, Zack Snyder talked about his upcoming reboot of the 'Superman' franchise:
When asked how his version will differ from previous films, Snyder remarked, "I can’t really talk about that without being kind of specific, but I can say I think Superman needs to be physical", which may come as a relief to fans that have been waiting for years to see Superman actually hit someone for a change.

According to ComicBookMovie.com, in addition to having Carol Danvers (aka Ms. Marvel) as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the upcoming 'Avengers' film, there are also rumors going around (stemming from a sketchy press release) that Kevin Pennington ('90210') has joined the cast as Agent Wendell Vaughn, who comic fans will recognize as the alter ego of the superhero Quasar.
The appearance of both Ms. Marvel and Quasar has fueled speculation that the series is setting up a Kree-Skrull storyline for an upcoming Avengers sequel. You can read more about the sketchy press release on their site HERE.
Last night, the official "X-Men: First Class" facebook page released new photos of Magneto (at least we think it's Magneto, even though it doesn't match previous photos of Michael Fassbender's costume) and the film's full logo:

Comment by Hector Fernando Andrade JR. II on February 10, 2011 at 2:16pm I hope that Shane Black gets the job to direct Iron Man 3 (2013). Shane wrote the screenplay of Iron Man 2 (2010) along with Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr and Justin Theroux. Shane gave some advice on the script, and suggested to Jon and Robert that they model Tony Stark on J. Robert Oppenheimer, who became depressed with being the destroyer of worlds after working on The Manhattan Project.
I think that Zach Snyder's idea of making Superman physical and actually hitting some villian in the face for a change is very interesting.
Comment by Travis Pickle on February 10, 2011 at 2:03pm Black + Stark = good news
Snyder needs to just have Superman fly in and kick shit out of anyone other than lex luthor for 90 mins!
