Marvel Studios will NOT have a panel at Comic-Con

Comic Con received some interesting news or maybe a set back. Marvel Studios will NOT bring anything to Hall H (the big ballroom), making it the fourth movie studio to sit out of Hall H this year.

Hero Complex reports:

“Go big or stay home,” is how one Marvel insider put it, and that logic is seemingly embraced by rival Warner Bros. with “Man of Steel,”  the 2012 feature-film revival of Superman that is conspicuously absent (at least at this point) from the Hall H program. “The Dark Knight Rises,” Warner’s follow-up to its billion-dollar Batman film in 2009, is also M.I.A., but Gotham City filmmaker Christopher Nolan has never set foot in Hall H so this latest absence may add to his mystique, but it won’t shock anyone. 

The sci-fi epic “John Carter” is also a notable absentee in Hall H, but Disney is holding it back for a very specific reason — it will be a centerpiece (along with “The Lone Ranger“) at August’s D23 Expo, the Anaheim event that is being constructed as a Disney-dedicated rival convention.

This is not a total loss; they will be present at Comic Con, but the details are unknown.

Would you want to see a "Black Widow" Movie?

Marvel Films are about to take over the comic movie game. Hoping to give their most popular characters screen time, the group is looking into more movies to make. One of those possible movies is the Black Widow.

Here's Marvel's co-chief Kevin Feige on the subject:

First and foremost, perhaps the most interesting was the talk that “The Avengers” characters Hawkeye (as played by Jeremy Renner) and Black Widow (as played by Scarlett Johansson) could be potential solo films. A “Black Widow” film has been mentioned before, but to hear it from Feige, those discussions are active and they’re going on with the actress as well.


“There’s no definitive plans, but we have started talking and talking with Scarlett about what a Widow movie could be,” he said. 

Interesting, but I have to ask... Do we want to see a Black Widow movie? I think she's an interesting character in the Marvel Universe, but I'm not sure if I want to see a movie about her. I think I may do a post about the Marvel women who deserve a film, but right now, I'm not sold on a BW flick.
