That's awesome. Ya know, we'll be expecting photographic updates when they start principle.
I live about 7 hours away and have friends there. Rylo lives not too far away...
We should have a wilmington prop party during filming and all go and try to get some pics!
They filmed my episode of Dawsons Creek there (Well they filmed ALL the episodes of DC there). Really nice little town. Good restaurants. Hope the movie turns out better than IM2
looks like it'll be a good boost to the state.
If we make a good impression, maybe Marvel will make all of their films here
I met Katie Holmes there randomly like 12-15 years ago. She said she was visiting some friends. She was leaving the campus of... I can't remember.Alan Cross said:
It was before Tom and she was VERY nice. A LOT nicer than you woulda thought she would be.
Again... NC prop party?
Was going to be shot in detroit just like the avengers. But our new jackass gov. Git rid of our states tax credits for films. Had a ton of movies done here the last two yrs. Now all we have is the new Oz film.
I haven't heard of any story details leaked yet, save for the rumor that the Mandarin and the 10 rings might be the big bad.
apparently ben kingsley will play the villain
which just shouts MANDARIN to me. seriously, the roll is perfect for him.
They are also filming part of the movie in China, assuming RDJ is ok with that association as he's a staunch Tibet supporter. China = Mandarin, or some modernized movie version of him.EyeofSauron said:
I read an article that I can't seem to find now, but in it they asked about who could play Tony Stark once RDJ eventually steps down. They didn't name any actors, but said they hope to just continue the series like James Bond, where a different actor steps in, but they don't do an entire reboot and origin story all over again. They just continue on.
I really wish they would do this with all the comic movies from now on. Then they could make much more interesting story lines without having to get the origin and character introductions out of the way every time.
That's pretty much it, or at least quoting the same sources.Kevin Gossett said:
I think that is the way to go. Just keep building. You don't have to reboot all the way back to the origin every time you change actors.
I hope Marvel can get X-men and Spiderman back too. I would love a quick Wolverine cameo by Hugh Jackman in the next Captain America movie, or something like that. Maybe Matt Murdock shows up in the next Spiderman.
Would be a whole lot easier to make movies if you didn't retell the origin every time. Now bring on Avengers 2, 3, and 4! lol
Filming to begin May 2012
Cast

Robert Downey Jr. ... Tony Stark / Iron Man

Don Cheadle ... Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes / War Machine
For a targeted May 3rd release.
Honestly, I'd want Marvel to completely reboot X-Men if they got it back so they can do it right. Have an awesome Cyclops, a more down and dirty Wolverine and maybe a movie that doesn't have Magneto in it? Take it slow and really plan ahead with the potential stories.rodneyfaile said:
But I agree with no reboots. Marvel's films have been great, and there really is no need to start from scratch. I don't see how they can improve on any of their current characters' origin stories.
man i can only imagine if marvel really would do that, and tie all the movies together from now on. that would be one ****ing big movie project. after all, they do come together in the comics, more or less
im curious if they will revive bucky in the next cap movie tho
