Captain America The Movie updates!

Just read from Parallel Universe over at MSN.com that Stanley Tucci will join the cast of Captain America: The First Avenger as Dr. Abraham Erskine, the scientist who turned Steve Rogers into a super soldier.

Chris Evans (who played The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four) will star as Cap while Sebastian Stan will play Cap's sidekick Bucky Barnes. The cast is composed of other critically-acclaimed actors such as Tommy Lee Jones as Gen. Chester Phillips, Hugo Weaving as the villainous Red Skull and Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury while Dominic Cooper (Mama Mia) will appear as the young Howard Stark.

Paramount pictures will release Captain America: The First Avenger in U.S. theaters on July 22, 2011.

Thor in 2011! For Odin's Beard! For Asgard!

For Odin's Beard! For Asgard! Chris Hemsworth Is Done!

After seeing Ironman 2 for the 2nd time and waiting for the full end credits with the bonus scene for the 2nd time as well, got curious if there is indeed a Thor movie in the making and came across this article at comicbooked.com (by the way to all fanboys and comic geeks out there this is an awesome site! follow it on twitter!---thanks to@Jon Favreau for the link).

According to IMDB, the movie is directed by Kenneth Branagh, award winning-actor and director who is more known for his Shakespearean movies. Marvel probably is banking on the same uniqueness that Jon Favreau, who is also more known as an actor than as a director, brought to Iron Man. Playing the God of Thunder is Chris Hemsworth, an Australian actor recently seen in Star Trek where he played as George Kirk,  James Kirk's father.

Thor is slated to premiere in May 6, 2011... a year to go but certainly worth the wait, especially when the Avengers movie comes out in 2012!
