This latest news might come as a bit of a disappointment for all you Loki-lovers out there -- it seems Thor's antagonistic and mischievous brother won't be returning for 'The Avengers 2.'

Even with Warner Brothers/DC’s ‘Man of Steel‘ set to open this weekend, and even with the billion dollar grosses of the last two Batman films, there’s no question that Marvel is the studio for superhero movies. To extend their legacy, they’ve set release dates for two currently untitled projects set to start the summer seasons in 2016 and 2017.
One of the great joys of the Marvel movie universe has been watching the various characters and storylines overlap and converge in surprising and exciting ways. However, fans shouldn't get too excited about a potential 'Avengers' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' crossover anytime soon. According to Joss Whedon, that isn't happening. (At least not yet.)
In the comic book world, superheroes modify their costumes on a pretty regular basis, so it's not surprising that Chris Evans' cinematic Captain America has already gone through three costumes. In 'Captain America: The First Avenger,' his suit was tough and WWII era-appropriate. In 'The Avengers,' he upgraded to a more streamlined and stylish look. But what about his new uniform for 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'? Well, a newly leaked piece of concept art gives us our best look yet at the redesigned outfit.
Robert Downey, Jr.'s contract with Marvel is up, which may make things a little difficult for Joss Whedon when it comes time to film 'The Avengers 2.' And Whedon says he just won't do it without his 'Iron Man.'
With the superhero movie genre experiencing its own renaissance, there've been attempts to give more superheroines time to shine. The CW's long-troubled Wonder Woman series, 'Amazon,' might still possibly find its footing, while fans have been shouting praise for Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. Why is it taking so long for a solid female-driven superhero flick to happen? 'Avengers' and 'Avengers 2' director Joss Whedon has the answer, and it pisses him off.
With 'Iron Man 3' mostly behind us, the next Marvel superhero film to look forward to is 'Thor 2,' which hits theaters this November. Director Alan Taylor ('Game of Thrones') recently spoke out about what he's bringing to the upcoming sequel, and he promised everything that fans want: intense action, high stakes and...big laughs?
It looks like Marvel may have found its "Mad Titan." As the James Gunn-directed 'Guardians of the Galaxy' continues to bulk up its cast, another lead role has been shelled out, this time to Benicio Del Toro. And based on the preliminary character description, it certainly sounds like he'll be playing Thanos.
With 'Guardians of the Galaxy' fast approaching the start of principle photography, the movie's cast is coming into focus. The latest addition is Glenn Close, who's set to play a character that's like the intergalactic version of Nick Fury.
Some people in this world make you really think about the level of intelligence out there. One such example, in my old stomping grounds of Cleveland, OH sees a man that was arrested after being pulled over in a stolen car from the Captain America 2 movie set.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' is going to be a big movie that takes Marvel further into outer space concepts, so they need a performer to anchor the film. A human who serves as the bridge between its alien and human worlds. And that bridge may be John C. Reilly.
Filming on 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' trucks along as director Bryan Singer releases more pics of returning franchise members and announces the latest additions to the cast -- and this latest update might send you running off in a twirl! It's just been announced that 'American Horror Story' star Evan Peters has just been cast in the role of -- wait for it -- Quicksilver. We wonder what Joss Whedon has to say about this...
