South Africans!
Need not fear!
Trevor is there!
He'll whip off his underpants
And wave them in the air
Like he don't care.
And that should stop Ultron.
Or maybe not?!
He/she/it is not human.
Do your underpants work on living automatons, Trevor?
If not . . .?!
A moment of silence . . .
for the bravest South African we know.
The only South African many of us know.
All leads to all.
The film will not be out for another 7 months, but till then you can get your Avengers fix by watching "Avengers Assemble" on Disney XD. Despite the complaints about the show from the over 14 crowd, it is the most popular animated show, and I don't know how much competition it has, among boys 7-14 on Disney XD. So, I presume it'll be around a while.
I haven't seen the show, since I no longer have a TV, but looking at the voice cast, I see that Stephen Collins voices/voiced the character of Howard Stark. I wonder if he is even going to have this job, once everything shakes out.
As for the film itself . . .
I see that they brought in Lou Ferringo to voice the character of The Hulk. You can't have a Hulk without Lou.
There are over 28 million hits and over 52,000 comments for this trailer, and it is only a teaser trailer, on You Tube. Thus, there is some interest for it, even before its release. If it goes well, I can see by the end of its run, both domestic and foreign, a box office of over $1 billion.
Other news. Some bad. Some good, which I'll post here, as it applies to the Marvel Universe, just like this film.
1st the bad news.
It's back to square 1. Marvel has been bargaining for some time with Joaquin Phoenix to appear as the title character in "Dr. Strange," and Joaquin finally decided it was not something he was interested in doing, and Marvel decided he was not quite right for the part. As for me, I can say I somewhat disappointed, as of all the actors previously rumored, I though he'd be the best one for the part.
Now the good news.
Robert Downey, jr is bargaining with Marvel about continuing his role as Iron Man, once his current film contract is finished. The thing about this is, if he does continue in the role, the next Iron Man film and the next Captain America film may revolve around the Civil War story arc from Marvel Comics, as both Iron Man and Captain America were the two leaders on opposite sides in that story.
Both bad and good.
While it was suppose to be released in 2012, a film with the Runaways as the main characters, is still on, if sometime in the future. What makes this one different, is the age of the characters. While Marvel has made several films about super heroes, they have all, to my knowledge, been the adult super heroes. Marvel has yet, as far as I know, to tap into its teen and pre-teen super heroes, such as the Runaways, Avengers Academy, the Young Avengers, the new Nova, etc. It'll be interesting to see who they cast for these roles, if any of these films get made.
Until then . . .
I like the way Marvel is bringing its characters into the films. The next film should include the not before seen characters of Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch, and Vision.
More news as it becomes available.
