BlackGeekdom Science-Fiction from a Different Perspective

Three months ago, Lobo posted a story saying that there was going to be a relaunch of the Black Panther.  The story behind that was that T’Challa would be replaced by a woman. Now, we think that that woman is going to be Echo.  Apparently, after Dark Reign (if you don’t know what that is, go grab the one shot) Echo, also known as Ronin, quits the Avengers only to end up in Wakanda after T’Challa is attacked.  Given, she is Hispanic-Native American, but could this spell the end for Black Panther as a viable comic book series?  Who really knows who Echo is?  I am not completely against it, but this move somewhat vexes me.  Are there any other women who could be the Black Panther?  Storm?   But other than Echo, is there any one remotely qualified?  Probably not.  So, we will have to see.

This movie sounds better and better, a Hulk vs (Iron man, Thor, Captain America,  etc.)  in a film is too good to be true.   You cant pass that up.   In the comics the Avengers came together to stop a rampaging Hulk( who was manipulated by Loki Thor’s brother).   In comic book style the team up to fight the true villain Loki.     I have a feeling that Marvel is planning a film that’s based on the Ultimates Vol. 1 ( where General Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.establishes a strike force of government-sponsored meta humans which includes Captain America; scientist couple Henry and Janet Pym (Giant-Man and the Wasp); Bruce Banner (the Hulk) and Tony Stark (Iron Man). Together they are based at the S.H.I.E.L.D facility, the Triskelion. When Banner injects himself with the super-soldier serum and goes on a bloody rampage as the Hulk, he is eventually stopped by the other metahumans with the aid of Thor. The team then join forces with the mutants Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch and agents Hawkeye and Black Widow against the alien shape-shifters the Chitauri, who are defeated.)

Everything in the Marvel Film Universe is leading to the eventual superhero tag team-up, “The Avengers,” with Iron Man, Ant-Man, Thor, and Captain America all fighting side-by-side. What possible villain could compete with that?

“The Incredible Hulk” director Louis Leterrier told MTV News this past June that he didn’t think any villain could, and suggested that they use a hero instead: his.

“Iron Man” writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who themselves may be writing another Marvel movie in the near future, couldn’t agree more, they told MTV News, insisting that everything is building towards making The Hulk the villain in the eagerly anticipated 2011 movie.

Is this Cap’s Shield in the Iron Man movie?  Look below Tony’s right arm on the table.   Marvel is really doing a good job planting the seeds for an Avengers film.   It seems like marvel is leanin toward the Ultimate as the version of Avengers tehy will be using in the film.  In the Ultimates Cap was given his shield after he was unthawed.   Factor in  Sam Jackson as Fury (the Ultimate verison of Fury was based on Jackson)  in Iron Man, its almost too much .

The rumor mill is buzzing about the cast of the Justice League movie. Warner Brothers hasn’t confirmed who’s in and who’s out, even though reports last week said that the announcement of the cast would be this week. But what’s going through the grapevine is a list that can be found here at Filmdrunk.com. Of note is the fact that Common, yes the rapper, has been cast (rumor) as the Green Lantern. Well, having seen both Smokin’ Aces and American Gangster within the last couple of days, I would like to believe that he could be the one. However, I don’t see it. Read More…

Rich Johnston has uncovered the promo trailer for a live action He-man film. You gotta love the 80′s. Now if we could only get a live action Go-Bots movie (just kidding).

Could there be a new, reworked version of Marvel’s Blade headed to the big screen? Initially, the thought of a Blade franchise reboot sounds kind of crazy, but when you think about it, the first film in the series is already almost 10 years old. And with the later films in the franchise becoming increasingly cheesy, maybe it’s not a bad idea.
