Marvel Movies 01-20-2010 Update

Here is a quick updates on the upcoming Marvel movies and let your saliva run down from your mouth with these ass-kicking fan made Thor and Captain America teaser posters.

Iron Man 2

Fin Fang Foom will have a cameo in Iron Man 2, more like an easter egg according to artist Adi Granov. Robert Downey Jr. who shows at the Golden Globe Awards has still a Tony Stark goatee, does it mean he will be doing a cameo on Thor, which is now shooting?

Iron Man 2 will hit theaters on May 7, 2010

Thor

That this movie is a piece will culminate the superhero team-up film "Avengers."

Thor had begun filming last week, and Stuart Townsend was replaced by Joshua Dallas to play Fandral the dashing. Joseph Gatt also confirms that he's a Thor villain, revealing that he's "playing a bad guy with a lot of action" and hinted that he would give Thor "a lot of grief." Remember S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Paul Coulson? Not only he will be back on Iron Man 2 but will also make an appearance on Thor. The presence of S.H.I.E.L.D. only confirms that they are creating a single universe, that will lead to the creation of the superhero team-up film "Avengers." Lastly, director Kenneth Branagh has talked about the status of the movie.

“We have many miles to go and promises to keep, but so far, so good, Everybody’s doing very good work and just a lot of it is so promising. Fingers crossed for everybody and everything. Hemsworth is a great guy.”

Captain America

Director Joe Johnston talks about his new The First Avenger: Captain America.

"It's not going to be a Captain America that you expect. It's something different. It is influenced by the comic book, but it goes off in a completely different direction. It's the origin story of Captain America. It's mostly period—there are modern, present-day bookends on it—but it's basically the story of how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America. The great thing about Captain America is he's a super hero without any super powers. Which is why this story, among the hundreds of super hero stories, appealed to me the most. He can't fly, he can't see through walls, he can't do any of that stuff. He's an every man who's been given this amazing gift of transformation into the perfect specimen—the pinnacle of human perfection. How does that affect him? What does that mean for him emotionally and psychologically? He was this 98-pound weakling, he was this wimp, and he's transformed instantly into this Adonis. You'd think he got everything he wanted. Well, he didn't get everything he wanted. The rules change at that point and his life gets even more complicated and dire. For me, that's the interesting part of the story. It's got some great action sequences in it and some incredible stuff that we've never seen before. But at the heart of it, it's a story about this kid who all he wants to do is fit in. This thing happens and he still doesn't fit in. And he has to prove himself a hero—essentially go AWOL to save a friend..."
