THE AVENGERS
Edward Norton is keeping quiet on the membership of the Hulk in the Mega Superhero production, according to Sci Fi Wire. "I probably won't comment on that just because they keep a pretty tight rein on what they are letting out," says Norton. Meanwhile, Nuke the Fridge is claiming Norton will make a cameo appearance in "Iron Man 2" leading into "The Avengers."
Starring Samuel L. Jackson, release date: May 2nd, 2012
SUPERMAN BEGINS?
I'm laying the old "Man of Steel" title to rest if IESB is anywhere near the mark. According to them, the property has a lot of traction at Warner Bros, but Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" is being looked at as the end of the series initiated in 1979, with a new series beginning with the upcoming production. "Man of Steel" was the title being used for a potential "Returns" sequel. "The next films will be a completely new take on the character and the story," says IESB's Robert Sanchez. He also suggests the Wachowski Brothers are at the top of the list to receive the prized franchise.
Release date: 2012?
NIGHT MARY
According to MTV Splash Page, production company Animal Logic has optioned the Rick Remender series for feature film. "A lot of times people view [comic getting optioned for film] with a sense of skepticism, and of course I never really get married to the idea of something happening, but ['Night Mary'] has a really good chance of actually making it to the screen," says Remender.
Release date: TBA
