Casting: Bradley Cooper Cast as Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy

Marvel is stepping it up with the casting this week! First James Spader and now the much hyped Rocket Raccoon cast is finally finished. Pretty boy Bradley Cooper has been chosen to take on the very humorous Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy. I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the choice and he was on my top 6 list (where at on it? that doesn't matter).

Guardians of the Galaxy will hit theaters on August 1, 2014. Less than a year! 

Do you think he could pull it off? Who would you chose?

Matthew Vaughn Producing Fantastic Four Reboot

Last year, 20th Century Fox hired Mark Millar (writer of Kick-Ass and The Ultimates) to be a consultant on all of their Marvel Comic film adaptations. Well, this man has been busy over that time with getting all the players together and making magic happen. Well, he tweeted some very interesting news that Deadline has confirmed (but I still didn't doubt it coming from the main man himself).

Millar tweeted this:

Just off the phone with Fox and some excellent news - Matthew Vaughn is producing Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot!
— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) February 22, 2013

That makes me very excited! Trank had a fantastic (see what I did there) first film with Chronicle and I expect great things with his take on Fantastic Four, but now that Vaughn is stepping in to produce, I am  so excited now! Vaughn has an amazing record with us comic geeks doing X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass. So expect some big news in future of this film.

We are still speculating that 20th Century Fox wants to a single universe, much in the way Marvel is doing in house with their properties. It makes perfect sense for them to do that with them owning Fantastic Four and X-Men.

Do you guys want to see Fantastic Four rebooted? Or Vaughn producing?

Comic-Con: Ant-Man Logo and Test Footage shown!!

A big surprise at Marvel's Hall H panel for Iron Man 3 was the appearance of director Edgar Wright taking the stage to talk about Ant-Man! He came out and talked about the film and said he had some test footage of it and was joking that the attendees wouldn't want to see blue screens and wires. He than presented some test footage!

The footage opened with Ant-Man in a room somewhere sitting on an air conditioner vent that ended up leading to a hallway that is being guarded by some kind of agents (likely Shield). The costume is of Ant-Man is clearing a mixture of the silver age with modern day one. You see him running down the hallway and morphed into normal size and startled the guards, then went down to ant size again to punch one in the face. He kicked both the guards butts and ended the scene with that.

Wright says he has no casting announcements yet, but that should change in near future! fingers crossed for Nathan Fillion.

Here is the logo for Ant-Man

Comic-Con: Marvel Announces Guardians of the Galaxy with Concept Art!!

Marvel hit Hall H to have a panel on Iron Man 3, but knowing them they have a few surprises up their sleeves. They came out and master of Marvel, kevin Fiege announced four movies in development! He gave a title of the previously unannounced film Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm not very familiar with the comic book series or any of the characters, but the concept art they gave looks pretty awesome!

They announced that the team will consist of StarLord, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot!

Pics of Chris Evans as Captain America

Entertainment Weekly is featuring Chris Evans as Captain America on the cover of the new issue. Also, there are a huge load of images that were scanned from the magazine. I can't wait to see this film on opening night.

Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters on July 22, 2011.

Here is the cover with some other images included in the issue. They look pretty awesome with some of Hugo Weaving, Haley Atwell and a small shot of Stanley Tucci.

Captain America Costume Spy Shots Online

Source: The Daily Mail

The Daily Mail released the first images of Captain America's costume online from The First Avenger: Captain America. 

The shots were taken while they were filming a chase of Captain America by agents of H.Y.D.R.A on the english countryside.

The costume isn't worn by Chris Evans, who is captain america, but by a stuntman who is funny looking to me. The costume looks pretty cool I guess, but it does seems a little "fake".

I will say the other vehicles are pretty weird too. The motorcycles are really weird along with the cool looking car. All these will be after the jump.
