It feels like a new Avengers animated series comes around every so often, so here is a new series that has a animated take from Joss Whedon's Avengers film universe. Or it has that "feel" with the inclusion of Falcon as the new Avenger.

The series will do the usual Avengers plot points of them fighting the worlds supervillians. The 1 hour special premiere will feature Red Skull. The animation does have some production value to it and could be an interesting series.

The series premiere is Sunday July 7th, but a special 1-hour preview airs May 26th.

Comics: Pick & Pull: February 13, 2013

It's that time again! The last (first) Pick & Pull was a pretty big success with some good feedback. So why not try a second time and see how it goes because this week is pretty big! We get a conclusion to a huge event, new series starting, a new team forming and just coolness all around. 

Highlights 

Batman #17 - The epic conclusion to the absolutely amazing 'A Death of a Family' Story arc is finally here! This story arc has had some great moments throughout that just stick to you after reading. This is a must read for any Batman fan

Secret Avengers #1 - This is an awesome book that puts Hawkeye and Black Widow front and center with Agent Coulsen and Nick Fury (Jr.?). This book is written by Nick Spencer, so expect to get great story lines with us basically knowing what the files and heroes know at the time. 

Uncanny X-Men #1 - The other major team book coming out this week, Since Uncanny X-Men is widely known as the "it" X-book, this series is shaking things up and they are pretty sweet sounding. This is a spinoff of the amazing All New X-Men and that keeps this pretty awesome to read. 

Powers Bureau #1 - This is the next chapter in the cool series Powers with them dealing with powers across the entire country. Pretty crazy sounding. And should be great for new readers to jump in (like me!) 

Any others you would like to add? or excited about?

Cover Art and Release Date for Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore

Iron Man is coming at us full force this year with Iron Man 3 hitting theaters on May 3rd. Although first we will get a direct-to-video feature film starring Iron Man called Iron Man: The Rise of Technovore on April 16th. Thats quite a lot of Iron Man this spring. 

Here is the full official synopsis: Billionaire Tony Stark, in his Iron Man armor, prevents an attack from a mysterious new foe, but innocent bystanders are killed, including his best friend War Machine, Lt. Colonel James Rhodes.  Detained for questioning by S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man escapes, determined to find the mastermind behind the attack. Pursued by Black Widow and Hawkeye, Iron Man enlists the help of the ruthless vigilante The Punisher.  But can the Armored Avenger handle what he finds when he catches the person responsible and is forced to face his deadliest weapon, a biotechnology called Technovore that could wipe out all life on the planet?

Is it just me or did that pretty much give us the entire plot to the film….. anyways sounds pretty cool. Espcaiclly really awesome to bring The Punisher into it because he needs some love now too. 

Iron Man/Tony Stark will be voiced bu Matthew Mercer and The Punisher/Frank Castle by Norman Reedus (sounds like a goodish take on it). 

Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore hits streets on Blu-ray and DVD April 16th 

New Cool Avengers Banners

A new banner poster (or just individual posters but together to make a banner) of the main avengers has made its way online. The banner is nothing really new but the Hulk one looks pretty intriguing. Also, I just love how Iron Man has no helmet on while old Capt still has his full mask on, and where is Hawkeye or Black Widow in that banner. Oh wait, another banner has made it's way online a little bit later having the rest of the team (with main villain Loki thrown in) in their very own makeshift banner of posters. Hawkeye looks pretty boss (ya i said boss).

Here is the Banner featuring the main Avengers (Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor)

Here is the "the other guys" plus Hawkeye. He is the only one that should be with the main cast. (Nick Fury, Loki, Hawkeye, Black Widow)

The Avengers assemble in theaters on May 4, 2012

The Avengers Trailer!!

Finally we have been blessed with the long-waited for trailer for the upcoming epic nerdgasm film The Avengers. The trailer actually shows more footage then I thought Joss Whedon would allow knowing his vow to secretcy almost on par with J.J. Abrams. The footage looks really amazing and it gives everyone screen time accept I would like to see more of Hawkeye and Hulk. Also, I'm loving Stark's humor, it's fantastic as always.

Summer 2012 will be blockbuster crazy with The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The  Avengers.

New Pics from The Avengers

I know i've missed so much of The Avengers coverage over the last couple of months. I am sorry again. So I'll start fresh with some awesome photos that were featured in EW and other sites last week with 2 brand new ones that popped up online.

The first (new) photos feature a epic scene with Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) looking up at what I assume to be the enemy. The second new image is of director Joss Whedon talking to Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) with a guy posing like fonzie in the background.

Other photos are awesome and are worth looking at after the jump

CONFIRMED: Jeremy Renner Cast In The Bourne Legacy

Rumors have been going around the net for a few weeks about who will be in the new Bourne film. The wild ideas of casting an unknown as the new agent or going with Oscar Issac (Sucker Punch). Then came the best idea/rumor with getting Jeremy Renner to star. 

Confirmed: Jeremy Renner has been attached to be main character in the new Bourne film The Bourne Legacy. 

The film will "steal" its name from the fourth book in the series, but will not have anything to do with the story. The film will not be a prequel, reboot, or sequel to the matt damon films. It will simply just follow another hero in a stand-alone film. 

Renner will film The Bourne Legacy after he finishes The Avengers later this year

SDCC: Jeremy Renner Confirmed for The Avengers

Joss Whedon just confirmed that Jeremy Renner is going to play Hawkeye in The Avengers. This is huge news after months of speculation that Renner would take on the role of Hawkeye.

The way Joss Whedon looks during the interview is the funny part because he looks exhausted and maybe a little tipsy, but I guess you would have to be if you have like 50 panels over the whole weekend.

Daily Movie News

It's Tuesday time for Daily Movie News.

* Director Paul Greengrass (Bourne 2 and 3) has opted out of Bourne 4, which has already been in development hell. The most likely reason is that Universal has hired two writers to pen a script. George Nolfi who co-wrote Bourne 3 and working with Damon on another film. The second writer was hired without the directors consent. That writer is Josh Zetumer, who is a studio favorite and on the "Blacklist" of writers they use alot. Due to Greengrass's friendship with the star, he may return at a later date.

* Modern Warfare 2 director Keith Arem will make his feature directorial debut on the action/thriller Frost Road. The film centers on a young man who awakens from a car accident to discover he one of the few survivors in the aftermath of a mysterious outbreak that struck a small coast town on the East Coast. Somehow immune to the contagion, he tries to save the remaining survivors as he struggles to prevent the deadly wave from spreading across the planet. Arem also wrote the script.

* Director Todd Phillips (The Hangover) says that The Hangover 2 script is half done. He is keeping the plot under wraps for now, and promises that it won't rehash the events in the first film. Also, he said its not the Las Vegas setting that was funny, but the 3 main characters.

* Summit Entertainment has acquired Ben Magid's spec script Invasion. The film opens with a wicked subway accident in which the survivors (protagonists) climb from the wreckage to find, now "snowy", city in ruins. What they encounter topside is bodies, mobs of people in a state of panic and acidic "goo". Eli Roth and Eric Newman will help steer the project.

* Actor Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) is rumored to star as Hawkeye in Marvel's highly anticipated adaptation The Avengers. No director is attached at the moment. The film is targeted for a may 4th, 2012 release.

* Actor Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins) said that the Green Lantern film he is attached to star isn't a labored Origin film that picks up in third act and some of the best parts don't have him in costume. Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) is directing for 2011 release.
