Marvel Movies Owe It All To Stan Lee And Mark Millar

The spiritual father of Marvel’s Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk aren’t necessarily who you might expect. At today’s Adapting Comics To Screen panel, Stan Lee may have been happy to accept his share of the glories, but Incredible Hulk screenwriter has someone much more recent in mind: Ultimates writer Mark Millar.

Did Marvel Let Favreau Back For Iron Man 2 To Shut Him Up?

You can put your pitchforks and online petitions down – it’s looking increasingly likely that Jon Favreau and Marvel Studios have patched up their differences (read: arguments over money) and that Favreau will, in fact, be directing Iron Man 2 for the planned 2010 release date.

What’s Coming After Marvel’s Skrull Massacre?

Spider-Man’s Aunt May not only hooked up with a shapeshifting alien Skrull pretending to be the Avengers’ butler Jarvis — she’s also pregnant with a half-Skrull baby! Or maybe not.

If you think the writers’ strike only hurt television and didn’t affect the movie industry, just ask Marvel Entertainment. Marvel is only slating one movie for 2009, instead of the two per year it would normally put out. (Currently in development: Ant-man, Captain America, Thor and The Avengers.) But even that one movie isn’t certain,…

Must See: The Avengers

Must-see TV shows are futuristic classics that shouldn’t be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That’s why we’ve rated them 1-5 on the patented “crunchy goodness” scale. Title: The Avengers Date: 1961-1969 Vitals: John Steed is a bowler-wearing secret agent who doesn’t seem to have any bosses. He, and a rotating cast of…
