You probably know that Jon Favreau had to leave the Iron Man franchise. So Marvel was looking for a new director. Well sounds like Shane Black got the job! He previously directed the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but is first and foremost a writer (Lethal Weapon 3 and Lethal Weapon 4) .

Iron Man 3 Trailer

As long as Marvel keeps a close eye on the production and if Robert Downey Jr reprises his role as Tony Stark aka Iron Man, I guess Shane Black will be fine as director of Iron Man 3. What do you think?

Sounds like Marvel is already planning a movie sequel to Captain America the First Avenger: according to Latino Review the studio has indeed hired Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus (who penned the screenplay of the first film) to write a script for Captain America 2. The first film hasn’t hit theaters yet, but judging from the Superbowl trailer, Joe Johnston’s Captain America is going to be a great movie. Watch here below if you haven’t seen it yet:

Captain America 2 Trailer

I’m quite glad to hear about Captain America 2. Don’t know if Joe Johnston will helm the sequel (if he was to become too greedy following the obvious success of the first film, Marvel would not hesitate to find a new director…), but from what I heard Chris Evans is kind of locked by contract for a few more Captain America movies besides the Avengers film. So he will quite probably reprise his role in Captain America 2.

Anyway, more information about the movie Captain America 2 as soon as details emerge!

Director Susanna White, who helmed Nanny McPhee Returns, has been hired to direct the movie adaptation of The Host, the romantic sci-fi novel written by Stephenie Meyer (who also wrote the Twilight series). The film will be based on a script by Andrew Niccol. The cast hasn’t been announced yet.

The Host Trailer

Plot:
“Earth has been overrun by an alien species called Souls, which invade human bodies and erase personalities. One soul, the Wanderer, is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth.”

What actress do you think should play the title role as Wanda/Melanie Stryder?
