They didn't. That's entirely 20th Century Fox and Sony. Also, it's Marc Webb. Mark Webber is the actor from Scott Pilgrim.

Oof. Portman is pissed about Jenkins being fired. Marvel's working hard to keep her from leaving the film.

David Fincher, once a frontrunner for the helming gig, on Spider-man part I:
Quote:
My impression what Spider-Man could be is very different from what Sam [Raimi] did or what Sam wanted to do. I think the reason he directed that movie was because he wanted to do the Marvel comic superhero. I was never interested in the genesis story. I couldn’t get past a guy getting bit by a red and blue spider. It was just a problem… It was not something that I felt I could do straight-faced. I wanted to start with Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin, and I wanted to kill Gwen Stacy. The title sequence of the movie that I was going to do was going to be a ten minute — basically a music video, an opera, which was going to be the one shot that took you through the entire Peter Parker [backstory]. Bit by a radioactive spider, the death of Uncle Ben, the loss of Mary Jane, and [then the movie] was going to begin with Peter meeting Gwen Stacy. It was a very different thing, it wasn’t the teenager story. It was much more of the guy who’s settled into being a freak.
Don't like it.
Like it better than a reboot/make.
Well...it sounds better than Aronofsky's Batman.
I guess it has that going for it.
Pretty cool idea, I think.
Eh, not so much. Osborn attacked Gwen specifically because he knew Peter was Spiderman and wanted to hurt him by killing his girlfriend. It's more "great power, great consequences." Gwen died BECAUSE he became a hero. That's like the exact opposite of the lesson of Uncle Ben's death.

Saving Private Ryan scribe Robert Rodat rewriting Thor 2.
I didn't realize how close they were to starting production on Iron Man 3. Any rumors floating around on what villain they will use?

Captain America 2 set for April 4, 2014
Hmmm, putting Cap 2 in April of that year instead of any following summer months seems like they may want to tee up Avengers 2 immediately after (perhaps July since WB won't have Harry Potters or Dark Knights to dominate that month anymore). It makes even more sense since we'll have Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 in 2013 and they're not going to bother with another Hulk movie anytime soon.
Lotta twos and threes there.
Cap 2 should be way more interesting than the first. Now that he's in present day, I feel the villains will be more relevant. I will withhold my anticipation until I see him in the Avengers though.
Ben Kingsley is going to be the main villain in Iron Man 3. It's heavily based on "Extremis," so he'll probably play a nanotech virus scientist or something.
I always thought the concept in "Extremis" was pretty cool, and there could be a lot done with it thematically.
Sam Jackson on the S.H.I.E.L.D. movie
Full Interview here.Quote:
Natasha is part of S.H.I.E.L.D., Hawkeye is part of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I couldn't do a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie without those two people. They're essential elements of what's there. Now we know Agent [Maria] Hill is an essential element of S.H.I.E.L.D. so she would have to be there. And I'm still not sure if she's the eyes and ears of the council hanging around inside their place and telling people, 'We've got these superheroes over here!' She wants my job. I can tell. She's ambitious.
