Look, I like mutants and avengers all the same but some characters are just more popular than others. There are tier one characters and tier two, and then everything else. Quicksilver floats between tier two and who gives a damn territory. The twin son (his sister Scarlet Witch aka Mrs. Deus Ex Machina) of the evil mutant Magneto, Quicksilver is what comic fans call a speedster. His basic power is he can run really fast.

The latest installment in the series that kicked off a phenomenon in modern movie history has arrived. Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 is the first real leap for that summer blockbuster brass ring. The hype for everything Marvel after last year’s juggernaut, The Avengers, has put this movie on everyone’s radar. The general rehashing of past films won’t cut it. So how does Marvel take on the Herculean task of matching the hype?
EW has confirmed the long held rumor that Marvel mutants siblings, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver, will be joining The Avengers 2 cast. Whether or not they will play villains at first or just join up as heroes remains unclear. The larger issue here is the addition of mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While not being able to reference their father Magneto, due to contract issues with Fox Studios, this would leave them as the only mutants in the MCU; interesting. The idea of adding these two characters to the roster is fancisnating, and just the type of craziness Joss Whedon is known for.
There is no question that in the arena of animated feature films Marvel is getting its ass handed to them by Warners Bros/DC. In recent years DC has released a slew of highly successful films that have covered not only their main comic lines but alternative stories as well. Marvel has however dominated the live action comic book movie world and they seem finally poised to take on DC in a big way; enter Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore.
The guys over at Ain’t it Cool News have broken another decent sized scoop when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, please take this with a HUGE grain of salt. Nothing has been verified as of yet, but chances are this rumor has some legs. AICN goes on to state that they are hearing word that the Nova Corps will make an appearance in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy directed by James Gunn.
As of late Latino-Review.com has been hitting these scoops out of the park. With the scoop about World War Hulk, and Harrison Ford coming back to play Han Solo they are really leading the charge on secret info these days. Well here is one more bit of casting. It looks like the character of Drax the Destroyer from the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie will be played by Jason Momoa.
Looks like the disaster that was the potential script for WB’s upcoming Justice League movie might never see the light of day. Badass Digest is reporting from multiple sources inside WB that Will Beall’s script was seen as unsatisfactory.
