Do You Loathe Comic Book Movies? You’re Gonna Hate This…

If you think that the recent comic book movie phase has gone on long enough, you’re gonna be punching yourself in the crotch to deaden the pain come 2006. Marvel’s CEO boasted a lot of news today that ensures the comic book movie will be around for at least another 3 years - this phase of it anyway.

Let’s See Here:

- The Punisher (2004) will be Rated ‘R’ (14A or 18A in Canada) - I really think it should be, I mean, he’s a punisher. - Apparently a full trailer in the next month is expected.

- Fantastic 4 has been pushed back to summer 2005 - expect a wave of merchandise.

- Iron Man and Ghost Rider will be released in 2005 as well.

- X-Men 3 and Hulk 2 can both be expected in 2006

- So can lesser known Nick Fury, Iron Fist and Namor.

- He boasts “the best writers” are currently competing to write the best “Captain America” script.

So apparently, this comic book thing is just getting warmed up. Most of these I’m looking forward to - as long as the movie’s done well, I don’t mind. Super Powers are nice - especially mine.

    I’d like to see a movie based on Aquaman or the Green Lantern. I’m surprised they aren’t doing a Wonder Woman remake.

    They are doing a Wonder Woman movie as well. See news on this at http://www.superherohype.com

    Wonder Woman is a DC Title, and therefore it makes sense that the CEO of Marvel didnt mention Superman, Batman or the Wonder Woman projects.

    They are doing a Catwoman movie but its only loosely based on the comic. This will be a failure, since it doesnt stay true to the Catwoman from the comic book. Mark my words.. those who stray will have big fat failures at the boxoffice.
