JURASSIC PARK 4 Release Date On Hold, Bryce Dallas Howard And David Oyelowo Front-Runners For Leads?

Variety reports that Universal is putting the June 2014 release date for Jurassic Park currently on hold. The studio is trying to make the film a little bigger than it currently is. They add that Bryce Dallas Howard (50/50, Spider-Man 3) and David Oyelowo (Rise of The Planet of The Apes, Jack Reacher) had meetings and were front-runners for lead roles.

Marvel Has Scripts For MS MARVEL And BLADE Reboot?

THR recently broke news concerning Marvel's plans for Avengers 3. They also broke the first real confirmation that Marvel is actually pursuing a Ms Marvel (Captain Marvel) film with a script already developed. A new Blade script is mentioned as well. It's a bit of a surprise since the character is best known for being an R-rated genre based franchise. While Thor's Idris Elba (Pacific Rim) has voiced his interest in playing the daywalker in future films. Strange, Black Panther and Iron Fist are still also in development. The former confirmed as a contender for Phase Three alongside Ant-Man and Avengers 3. It's unknown at this point if Panther, Ms Marvel or Iron Fist will end up making the cut, allowing for more sequels. A Guardians sequel and new Hulk film are strong possible candidates for Phase Three as well.

There had been previous talk of the role being linked to Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson (Lone Ranger, Luther). Along with old rumblings that Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness) might also be in the running.

AVENGERS 2 Contract Issues Leading Marvel To Replace Actors?

While Marvel is looking to wrangle Robert Downey Jr. into a new contract. The same can't be said about the other actors. New behind the scenes information via Deadline gives the impression that both Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth were almost replaced before their respective sequels went into production. Not to mention the studio has threatened to replace actors. Scarlett Johansson is also sounding off stating she's not willing to take a pay cut either. This isn't a hard request to fill since the last film soared to make $1.5 billion in box office. I wouldn't be shocked if post-Avengers 2 we end up seeing new actors playing Thor, Cap and Widow or even before then.

RDJ is the iconic leader of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it's possible he could be trying to help his fellow cast members get more money or at least fair compensation. I don't see Marvel getting new actors unless they have to but I get the impression that Evans and Hemsworth might end up walking if they can't win them back with their demand rising along with their quotes. It's a sad story since Marvel has been trying develop their own stars but when they find success elsewhere and can't pay them their worth they will loose them.

No word if Jeremy Renner will be back since his name hasn't been mentioned. However, with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver being linked for the sequel it's possible Widow and Hawkeye might be edged out of the sequel. Giving the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents the bench for superpowered heroes to join the ranks.

The film centres around a group of Jesuit priests who travel to Japan which doesn't end well. Andrew will take the lead while Ken will play the priests' translator.

Shane Black To Make DOC SAVAGE Movie Next

It looks like Iron Man 4 will have to take a backseat while writer/director Shane Back focuses on his next project. Deadline reports that Sony has finally greenlit Black's take on the pulp hero Doc Savage which he'll co-write and direct. Nothing seems set in stone concerning Iron Man 4 being apart of Phase Three so it's possible that Black will end up directing sequels. With the third installment being the biggest of the franchise it's expected Marvel might not be so quick to replace him.

Marvel Looking To Nab Robert Downey Jr. For AVENGERS 2 And AVENGERS 3, His Involvement In IRON MAN 4 Uncertain

THR reports that Disney/Marvel and Robert Downey Jr. met on Monday to start talks for Robert to sign-on for Avengers 2 and Avengers 3. The former expected to begin production early next year with a May 2015 release. Avengers 3 doesn't have a release date but could be coming in 2017. No word if these talks will end up including Iron Man 4 or Iron Man 5, which director Shane Black has teased. Considering that Iron Man 3 has already reached $700 million worldwide and Avengers hit $1.5 billion last year it's safe to say that Robert will keep audiences coming back for more.

Allison Williams And Michael B. Jordan Linked For FANTASTIC FOUR?

It looks like some possible new casting information concerning Fox's Fantastic Four reboot have started to rollout. First, Deadline says Girls actress Allison Williams might be in the mix for Susan Storm. While Chronicle's  Michael B. Jordan might be a contender for the role of the Human Torch according to TheWrap. It would be interesting to see more color-blind casting when it comes to superhero films and Fantastic Four is a perfect one to implement this. While Sue and Johnny are brother and sister, nothing is stopping Fox from making the Storms a non-traditional family.

Does Marvel Finally Have A Top Contender To Play BLACK PANTHER?

LatinoReview is revealing that Marvel Studios finally might have zeroed in on an actor to play Black Panther. That actor is none other than 42 breakout star Chadwick Boseman who plays Jackie Robinson in the film. While a solo film has been in the works for years now there hasn't been an official announcement concerning the King of Wakanda's addition to the Phase Three lineup. It's possible he could end up having a supporting role in either Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Avengers 2 before his first solo outing,

Scarlet Witch And Quicksilver Joining The Lineup For AVENGERS 2?

EW has a source that is confirming that characters Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are expected to be in Avengers 2. Witch had been linked for Iron Man 2 but was ultimately cut. A similar story concerning Wasp was revealed in the early script phases for the first film so it's not entirely impossible that they might also be removed for pacing or time. That said, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are co-shared characters that both Disney/Marvel and Fox can use in films. Since the twins are just as known for being involved with the Avengers as they are with the X-Men franchise.
