Marvel News Galore

• "Of course Marvel is always open to looking at ways to work with 'The Incredible Hulk,' but there is currently no script in development" even though according to Marvels site a script is in the works. And Tim Roth (Abomination in the last film) is very interested in working with director Louis Leterrier again as is Tim Blake Nelson. Roth right now is set to be in at least 2 more movies as Abomination.
• George Clooney is Dr. Strange? Maybe. Director Ridley Scott (Alien), George Clooney and a representative from Marvel were seen doing lunch earlier this week. Can we expect an amazing Dr. Strange movie? Hopefully.
• Many fans were disappointed to hear that the Thor movie was going to be set ONLY in the mythic world of Asgard, thus ruining the bridge between Thor and The Avengers. Now the next part gets a little geeky. To bridge this Dr. Donald Blake will be placed near the end of the movie. Blake is currently in the comics, the modern day Thor. Apparently Blake will find Thor's hammer and read the inscription on the side thus becoming the member of the Avengers we all love.
• Mickey Rourke and Sam Rockwell have been cast in Iron Man 2. Rourke would play a tattooed Russian heavy named Ivan who becomes Whiplash, a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils. And Rockwell would play Tony Starks multi-billion dollar business rival Justin Hammer.
• Sam Rami, director of the Evil Dead's and in this case Spider-Man 1-3, has come out with his preference for the next Spider-Man villain. "I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius" says Raimi. "Hes really cool. A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural". Well he did do Evil Dead...but more likely is The Lizard or even maybe The Vulture. As http://www.comicbookmovie.com/ points out though, Rami didn't want Venom in Spider-Man 3 and remember how terrible that became? Venom is a badass character too, he deserved his own movie...still...
