Superhero Stories Assemble! Red Skull, Red Thor, Wonder Woman Casting, and a Batplane?

"And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when several superhero stories found themselves united in a single article. On that day, 'Superhero Stories' was born - to contain the film and TV news no single blog post could withstand! Heed the call, then - for now...

Superhero Stories Assemble!"

Marvel Films just released two brand new posters for the May 6th release of their film "Thor", featuring a lot of red and text over people's faces (click to see full-size):

Speaking of red-faced comic book characters - in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Joe Johnston released the first full image of the film's villain The Red Skull, played by Hugo Weaving (click to see full-size):


Johnston also talked a bit about the qualities that make Captain America interesting and relatable:

"What I like is he’s not a superhero in the true sense of the word. He becomes a superhero but doesn’t have any super powers. He is just the best possible, human specimen. Imagine the fastest, strongest Olympian athlete. Add 30 percent. That’s Steve Rogers."

 

In the film  - which is out July 22nd - the same super soldier serum that creates Captain America also creates The Red Skull. The difference is the subject's inner strength. Because of his kind heart and noble spirit, Cap remains good - only much tougher. Evil men, such as Hydra weapon designer Johann Schmidt (The Red Skull) turn into living horrors.

British MILF Elizabeth Hurley ('Austin Powers') confirmed via Twitter that she's been cast in the dreaded David E. Kelley Wonder Woman TV pilot:

The 45-year old actress will reportedly play wealthy pharmaceutical industrialist Veronica Cale, a highly-educated corporate head who becomes obsessively jealous of Wonder Woman and her accomplishments. She will play opposite actress Adrianne Palicki who was recently cast as the singing, dancing, crying Wonder Woman.

 

Deadline has also reported that:

  • 'The Good Wife' actor Pedro Pascal has been cast as a police dept. liaison who assists Wonder Woman in her vigilante crimefighting
  • 'Cold Case' actress Tracie Thoms will play Etta, personal assistant to Diana Themiscyra (one of the three personalities that Wonder Woman goes by in the pilot)
  • and 'No Strings Attached' actor Carey Elwes has signed on to play Henry Detmer, the acting CEO of Themyscira Industries, uncle-like figure and possible love interest down the line... wait, uncle figure and love interest? Ew.

 

And lastly, thanks to an Adrianne Palicki fansite, we have our first look at the actress sporting Wonder Woman's traditional black hair:

Forget the grain, for this next one just take it with a whole shaker of salt - according to Badass Digest, a "source" revealed that the plot of the upcoming WB film "The Dark Knight Rises" will center around Talia Al'Ghul (with Bane in tow) and The League of Shadows against Batman and Catwoman (who starts out bad but becomes an ally of Batman by the end). The unnamed source goes on to say that recently-cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt is also an antagonist and involved with the League of Shadows.

However, the article starts and ends with an "out clause" - purposely stating that Nolan and his "Batcamp" are prone to misinformation and releasing things that are intentionally untrue. So basically... if it turns out to be completely wrong, they can just chalk it all up to that. They've already announced that Anne Hathaway will play Catwoman, and that Tom Hardy will play Bane, and current rumors have been swirling that Talia Al'Ghul (and by extension the League of Shadows) may appear... it really doesn't take a lot to combine them together in the most logical way and say that 'Rises' is going to have Batman and Catwoman against Talia and Bane, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in there somewhere. In addition, while some fans may bemoan Bane returning as another villains stooge - he did spend time in the comics with Talia and the League of Shadows as a kind of replacement for Batman (who turned down the offer of becoming Ra's Al'Ghul's heir).

So, while it's possible that this could truly be the plot of the highly-anticipated sequel, for now we have to file this under "plausible, but not confirmed" (Mythbusters fans feel free to post "plausible" images in the comment section). Moving along to more possible spoilers, fansite 'Batman on Film' quotes a longtime source that says that due to "The Tumbler" being destroyed in the last film, we will be seeing a new Batmobile this time around, as well as the possible appearance of a Batplane (taking inspiration from the surface-to-air-recovery system (STARS) that Batman used in The Dark Knight, no doubt).

The supposedly "official" website for actor Irrfan Khan, there is an article stating that not only will he be playing a villain named "Proto-Goblin", but that fellow actor Rhys Ifans will be playing Norman Osborn/Green Goblin... NOT The Lizard as has been previously reported. However, the article also says "Spider-Man Reboot" (like "Reboot" is actually part of the title) "is a new sequel of Spider-Man 3" and needlessly hyphenates "Green Goblin", so it's safe to assume that either this is wholly incorrect or perhaps just poorly translated. Bollywood may not fully understand the concept of a "reboot", which may have led to the confusion of the title as well.

 

Until next time!

@Fourperson I actually think they're taking more of a risk by having the only dark-skinned Asgardian as the villain; but unlike "The Last Airbender," to me its obvious that this was coincidence since the entire main cast is of equal acting caliber. Besides, it really doesn't matter since they aren't human.

Why's there a black guy in Valhalla? Are they so fucking afraid to do an all-white cast? Makes me fucking sick.

The Dark Knight Rises story is BS

I was a little skeptical of Fungusmonkey's pointing out the uselessness of Captain America's costume before, but that Red Skull picture more or less confirms he was right.

I think the face make-up is brilliantly translated, but what's up with all the unnecessary belts and straps on his coat? With those shoulder straps connected to his sleeves, I doubt he could raise his arms far enough to do the Nazi salute.

Of course this doesn't matter as long as the film is as fun as the director claims, but that costume designer needs to be fired from Marvel Studios.

The Red Skull looks good.

The Spider-Man story sounds like complete bull.

The Cap. news is the best out of all of it since the director really seems to me to know when to use CGI and when to just make the actors do all the work. Wonder Woman I could give two shits about since they always will choose a young attractive women to drive the sex crazed 14 year old boys nuts rather than making Wonder Woman the current model of feminie power with an older women in her thirties or even forties if she looks the part and can act it. I would like to see a Elizabeth Hurley type and by that I mean a woman who is seasoned and more prepared to do a character study on the female perspective of how the world treats them and why they have to always preform such balancing acts that men don't need to.

The CW is only doing this to replace Smallville and keep a DC brand going that of course doesn't look to have a director of the opposite sex taking the lead which really is sad to see another series made for men to mentally undress the women they can't have. Finally Spider-Man too me is going in that direction of lets call it a reboot but instead of it being a reboot lets just keep going with the whole Green Goblin saga. I'm tired of the rumor fill being constantly filled with this kind of shit when they haven't even told anyone what the plot is except that its in college and that Uncle Ben is the guy from water world which tells me that they are so desperate to make a buck that they have to go and pick up actors who are known for bombing movies.
