Will Robert Redford Play Nick Fury In 'Captain America: Winter Soldier'?
Posted 3/22/13 4:34 pm EST by Valerie Gallaher in Marvel
No, I don't mean that Nick Fury...I'm referring to the guy pictured above.
The scoop from Deadline, via MTV Splashpage, is that movie legend Redford "is in talks to play a senior leadership role in S.H.I.E.L.D." in the movie. Given the actor's distinguished-yet-rugged look, this immediately brings to mind the original Nick Fury from the comics. And yet logic dictates that this cannot possibly be, because Samuel L. Jackson is firmly and unquestionably Fury as established by the Marvel movies. Read More...
Angela Cheats On Spawn With Ultron
Posted 3/21/13 4:35 pm EST by Valerie Gallaher in Comic Books, Image Comics, Marvel
Man, and I thought the Comic Book Gang Wars were over.
The New York Times reports that the character of "Angela," which was created by Neil Gaiman for the Image comic "Spawn," will appear in the Marvel miniseries "Age Of Ultron" (I'm NOT going to maintain "spoilers" when the publisher purposely chooses to run this stuff in major news sites -- though to be fair, Marvel characterises this not as a "spoiler" per se but as a "bonus").

See The Original Suit That Brought The Blob To Life In 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'
Posted 3/15/13 4:33 pm EST by Eddie Wright in Marvel, Movies
ComicBookMovie got an exclusive look at test footage of the original fat suit worn by Kevin Durand as he portrayed the super-duper-blobby Blob in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and what we learned from the behind-the-scenes video from StudioADI is the original Blob suit was much more mechanical.

The Project Gamma Interview: Marvel's Peter Phillips Explains Why You'll Want Hear Your Comics
Posted 3/11/13 4:45 pm EST by Charles Webb in Marvel
Yesterday, Marvel announced Project Gamma, their latest gambit in the digital comics marketplace to move more copies of "Spider-Man" online.
The program brings dynamic music to your digital comics: think having a score to accompany that latest issue of "Uncanny X-Force," with the score morphing and changing to fit what's happening from panel-to-panel.
I spoke to Peter Phillips, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Marvel Digital Media Group, just prior to the announcement about why this was the right move for Marvel's next step in their digital push. And although I didn't get to nail him down on every issue of "Amazing Spider-Man" potentially including a new punk rock cover of the 70's theme each month (they're not even talking titles, release dates, or pricing now), he did lay out some of the company's ambitions behind Project Gamma.

"Marvel Unlimited provides the deepest online reading experience utilizing Marvel’s patented digital reading technology while providing seamless access via iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or web-browser. Now you can truly enjoy your favorite comics anytime, anywhere!"
But where does that leave a digital comics site like comiXology? Doesn't this huge digital initiative by Marvel eat into comiXology's revenue -- not to mention the latter's reputation as the "one-stop-shop" for digital comics? Read More...
