Zak Penn tying Avengers script together this summer May 6th, 2009

Kevin Feige, the Pres­i­dent of Pro­duc­tion at Mar­vel Stu­dios, recently spoke to Empire to fill us in on their upcom­ing fea­tures, inform­ing us that Zak Penn is hard at work on The Avengers script:

“Zak Penn is already on board The Avengers [as writer] and he’s spend­ing a lot of his time look­ing into what we’re doing with Iron Man, Thor and Cap­tain Amer­ica, see­ing how we’re tying it all together. And he’s begin­ning to out­line the script now – he’ll be doing that over the summer.”

“All of the Mar­vel movies lead­ing up to The Avengers will be based in our new facil­ity in Man­hat­tan Beach, in LA. There will be loca­tion work that will take us out occa­sion­ally, but our home base will always be here. ”

Casting Loki and Odin soon, Thor production early next year May 6th, 2009

Kevin Feige, the Pres­i­dent of Pro­duc­tion at Mar­vel Stu­dios, recently spoke to Empire to fill us in on their upcom­ing fea­tures — inform­ing us that cast­ing deci­sions on Loki, Odin and the main female role will be made shortly (Natalie Port­man and Josh Hart­nett are rumored). Pro­duc­tion is likely to begin at the start of next year.

“We will prob­a­bly be hav­ing cast announce­ments in the next month or so on Thor,” he told us. “We’re look­ing to cast Loki and Odin soon, and the main female role. And we’ll also hope­fully have lock­down shortly, gear­ing towards the begin­ning of pro­duc­tion, which will be early next year. So I think there will be a lot of announce­ments between now and then.”

“But [direc­tor Ken­neth] Branagh’s here, we’re prep­ping, and he’s put together some spec­tac­u­lar ani­mat­ics already for our first action scene. We’re dig­ging into the sec­ond and third now, and we are just embark­ing on a rewrite of the draft.”

Bradley Cooper the Green Lantern? May 6th, 2009

Chris Pine and Ryan Gosling have both been linked to the Green Lantern role, now another name has been thrown into the mix, one Bradley Cooper (The Hang­over, Alias, Wed­ding Crashers):

[…] I’ve just spent the last hour or so on the phones, track­ing down a rumor I heard, and Hit­Fix can exclu­sively report that Bradley Cooper is now one of the guys most likely to don the suit and slip on the power ring as The Green Lantern for direc­tor Mar­tin Campbell.

Let’s be clear: they have not hired him yet. But the process is far enough along that this is more than just a meet­ing or some spot on a wish list. Keep in mind that Camp­bell likes to see a lot of peo­ple when he’s cast­ing… and even when he’s screen-testing, he seems will­ing to explore as many options as pos­si­ble… but with the film set to shoot later this sum­mer, they’ve got to start mak­ing their choices, and now’s the time to put peo­ple in front of the cam­era and see who really works in the suit.

Nick Fury’s first day of filming, Scarlett wears Black Widow outfit May 6th, 2009

Jon Favreau has twit­tered again today, giv­ing us the juice that Samuel L. Jack­son is on set film­ing his first scenes as Nick Fury, along­side Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark:

Now shoot­ing first scene with Tony Stark and Nick Fury.

Ear­lier he also revealed that Scar­lett Johans­son is in the Black Widow outfit

Scarlett’s first day on set in the Black Widow out­fit. You’ve never heard a crew get so quiet so fast.

Our exclu­sive report yes­ter­day revealed that these scenes were likely to be on 805 W. Man­ches­ter Blvd., Ingle­wood, Ca. 9030.

Ravage toy in Box, Bio and ‘Re-entry mode’ May 6th, 2009

The biog­ra­phy for Rav­age states that he enters the earth’s atmos­phere and sug­gests that he takes the form of ‘soft’ crea­tures that inhabit the planet. Per­haps this implies Alice (Isabel Lucas)? We also get to see con­fir­ma­tion of the toy’s rather weak ‘re-entry’ mode which doesn’t resem­ble much of any­thing, I per­son­ally pre­fer the bird like trans­for­ma­tion that TF08 concocted.

Rav­age

Bul­let­ing down through the atmos­phere at bet­ter than 15 times the speed of sound, Rav­age con­sid­ers the data he has already amassed, on the small, soft crea­tures that inhabit this planet. They seem weak and frag­ile, yet they are the ones that destroyed Mega­tron, that is a fact he will keep in mind as he pen­e­trates their most sen­si­tive instal­la­tion, against such an unpre­dictable enemy, stealth will be his watchword.
