[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] When Can Marvel Studios Launch ‘Iron Man 4′?

Sitting only behind its predecessor The Avengers as the biggest comic book film of all-time, Iron Man 3 solidified the armored, high-tech character as Marvel’s most bankable hero in cinemas worldwide. That makes Iron Man 4 a highly desirable (read: inevitable) commodity that Disney-owned Marvel will one day produce. The two questions are when and will Robert Downey Jr. be involved? Read more >>

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] Film Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’

Redundancy remains a problem, but this overlong superhero sequel gets by on sound, fury and star chemistry.

Continuing Peter Parker’s investigation of his shady family history while serving up a brace of villains — one more familiar than the other — for him to contend with, this bloated but enjoyable outing will pull in enough crowds to justify Sony’s reluctance to relinquish this heavily built-up creative property.

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] ‘Captain America 2′ Breaks All-time April Box Office Records

Before Captain America: The Winter Soldier even hit theaters it was confirmed that directors (and brothers) Anthony and Joe Russo would be helping plan out the story for Captain America 3 and again directing. It was a display of confidence from Marvel Studios and its key decision-maker Kevin Feige, but an unsurpising one considering the critical response to the film.

Early reviews of Captain America 2 labeled it one of the studio’s best and now that it’s out, it’s certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with numbers comparable to Iron Man and The Avengers, Marvel’s two strongest scored films to date.


Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the number 1 film this weekend with $96 million. That’s the biggest April opening ever, ahead of Fast Five‘s $86 million back in 2011.

While many predicted the Marvel train would keep rolling post-Avengers, these Phase 2 films are still far and away exceeding expectations, both financially and critically. Case in point: The Winter Soldier should eclipse the first Captain America‘s $179 million domestic total next weekend.

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] Marvel Studios Has Mapped Out Films All The Way To 2028

Business Week ran a feature on Kevin Feige and the rise of Marvel Studios and in it they discuss the long-term potential of the franchise, leveraging the established brand and shared universe to continually introduce more and more characters from the 8,000+ they own from the books. Where before we had heard from Feige that they had a pretty good idea of what’s in the pipeline up to and including 2021, that roadmap of upcoming films – literally pasted on the office wall of Kevin Feige’s office –  is substantially larger now, just seven months later.
