While we freeze our butt’s off during these wet, winter months, I’m sure most of our minds are wishing our lives away to the summer blockbuster season when the superheroes come out to play!
The first comic-book title sure to coin it in at multiplexes will be the return of metallic-suited, high-flying billionaire Tony Stark in IRON MAN 3. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role for a fourth time, in an adventure co-written and directed by Shane Black, and follows the destructive events of THE AVENGERS. This time, Stark will battle nemesis The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) in a plot that will take him to Tokyo, Japan. Check out this new still from film hitting cinemas on the 26th April in the UK and the 3rd May for US audiences.
Another familiar face returning to the big-screen is adimantium-clawed mutant Logan. Following his genius cameo in Matthew Vaughn’s impressive X-MEN prequel, FIRST CLASS, newly-crowned ‘Oscar-nominee’ Hugh Jackman returns to his signature role of THE WOLVERINE, in director James Mangold’s action-adventure hoping to wipe any memory of the utter shit, X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. Another new image has appeared for the film due 26th July and again with a majority of the film set in Japan.
Most anticipated of all, certainly amongst THN Towers, is the welcome return of Krytonian, Kal El or for those non-geeks – Superman. The involvement of Christopher Nolan as producer for director Zack Snyder’s reboot MAN OF STEEL, has a whole lot to do with that excitement. Henry Cavill dons the red and blue spandex as the title character and his alter-ego Clark Kent and here is clearer photo of the image used in the recent teaser poster. The film has an awesome supporting cast that includes Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne and Russell Crowe. MAN OF STEEL flies into theatres 14th June.
