'Captain America 2' Snags Directors, 'Justice League' And 'Wonder Woman' Find Writers

Posted 6/7/12 1:11 pm EST by in Super News

Captain America

It's been a busy week over at MTV Splash Page, and we're not just talking about the Black Panther rumor heard 'round the world. Directors and writers have been hired for multiple other comic book movie projects, on both the Marvel and DC Comics sides of the aisles.

In brief, here are the updates...

» At long last, "Captain America 2" has a director. Directors, we should say: "Community" duo Anthony and Joe Russo are in final negotiations with Marvel to get behind the lens of the shield-slinging super-soldier's next big-screen outing. A controversial choice, perhaps, but one that keeps in line with Marvel's propensity to hire unexpected filmmakers (see Jon Favreau, Kenneth Branagh for more). Tell us what you think of the Russo brothers' hiring in our poll!

Ben Kingsley Eyed For 'Iron Man 3' Villain Role

Posted 4/10/12 10:00 am EST by in News, Super News

Ben Kingsley, one of the finest actors currently working, does not like Iron Man. Well, perhaps he likes the films Iron Man appears in, but he has it out for Ol' Shellhead himself, based on a new report that Kingsley's playing the villain in Shane Black's "Iron Man 3."

Kingsley's role remains under wraps, though it's said to be tied to Warren Ellis' six-issue "Extremis" comic book run. It's also not, apparently, The Mandarin, despite several clues pointing towards the ring-clad villain's ultimate involvement in the "Iron Man" movie franchise. Kind of a bummer, as Kingsley would be an excellent choice for an updated (see: not horribly racially offensive) version of the popular Marvel baddie.
