Chris Evans suits up again as the First Avenger in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The next film will add Anthony Mackie as the heroic Falcon and Frank Grillo as evil muscle man Crossbones.

Emily Van Camp (Revenge) may be playing SHIELD Agent Sharon Carter. All the buzz about the casting of Cap’s girlfriend inspired sinister visions of who should play the raging redheaded she-devil from Cap’s rogues gallery!  If Crossbones is in the sequel then will the Red Skull’s psychotic daughter (and Crossbones’s lover/partner) join the film?

Who should play Sinthea Schmidt aka SIN? Here are five redheads who could really embody pure evil as the Red Skull’s daughter:

Emma Stone On Her Gwen Stacy in Amazing Spider-Man

  Mary Jane may be Spidey’s main movie squeeze in the Sam Raimi films but true believers know Gwen Stacy is Peter Parker’s first true love from the comics. Emma Stone talked with The Hollywood Reporter about preparing to play Gwen.

  “There was a fair amount of research for me to do because I didn’t read the comic books growing up, so of course I had a lot to brush up on. But for the most part, the definitive part of Gwen Stacy, more than anything, more than the different incarnations of her personality – because she was a hippie, she had twins with Norman Osborne, there were a lot of things we didn’t really touch on quite as much, and there were some updates to Gwen as well, because it’s present day – I think that Gwen’s underlying factor remains incredibly sad, until what happens, which is incredibly tragic. Her father faces death every single day, her boyfriend faces death every single day, so she is constantly surrounded by an undercurrent of mortality. So she is in control and she is valedictorian and she is confident and smart because she has to be; she’s constantly in the face of something, so that’s why her end is so much more tragic.”

  For the entire interview here’s THR link. Peter fell for MJ but Gwen fell for Peter Parker.

  Do you think this movie Gwen Stacy will share the same fate as her comic book counterpart?

Amazing Spider-Man Trailer 2!

The Geek world is still reeling from the Avengers Super Bowl spot but Spidey is swinging into action, family drama and some great one liners in the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man!

Here’s the Marvel link if you’d like the read the entire press release.

Young love blossoming. Spidey fighting the Lizard. Parker family secrets.

 

What do you think of the darker, younger Spidey flick? Tony Stark has the best line in the Avengers trailer but I really loved Denis Leary’s in this one!

Spider-Man’s Amazing Girlfriend and The Dark Turned On

  Spidey fans know Mary Jane is the love of his life but you never forget your first love. Gwen Stacy is Peter Parker’s haunting lost love. She’s the one that got away.       Director Marc Webb is talking about why he went with Gwen over MJ and much darker tone for Amazing Spider-Man.

  “There’s this trickster quality we were very keen on exploring, with that humor and that fun and that wisecracking stuff,” Webb told Comic-Con Magazine. “We wanted to keep that alive, but we wanted it to be realistic. We wanted that humor to come from a real place. My aim was to create a world where you could feel all those emotions. There are certainly darker, more intense feelings in this movie. There is betrayal, there is tragedy, but there’s also humor and romance. So it’s a very complex bouquet of emotions, but what you have to tread on is what feels authentic and what feels real, and you have to earn those different emotions. There are moments of furiousness and gravity, absolutely. But are there moments of humor and levity and whimsy? Absolutely. Andrew was really great. He used this term to describe Peter Parker in Spider-Man and Spider-Man in particular: he’s a trickster. He was like “How would Spider-Man web this guy? He’d give him a wedgy or he’d dos some awful graffiti.” There’s a punk rock quality to Peter Parker that’s really irreverent and fun and that’s something that Andrew embodies in a way that we haven’t seen before. Certainly the materials that have come out have a darker sentiment or there’s a darker projection, but we’re very keen on staying loyal to the humor of Spider-Man.”

Thanks to Comic Book Resources and Latino Review for posting the interview. The film’s official site posted new photos of Gwen and Peter.

I’m excited for Gwen and hope we meet Felicia Hardy in a possible sequel.

Amazing Spider-Man Producer on Gwen Stacy and Dr. Connors

  Amazing Spider-Man is still more than 6 months away but the press machine is already in full force! Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach held a press conference in Tokyo, Japan where the film will hold it’s world premiere.

  Bleeding Cool has the full video and 5 interesting quotes but I’m posting what I think are two most intriguing quotes from Avi Arad – a longtime force behind movies based on Marvel characters.

  Avi Arad on the new take on Spidey’s origin and Gwen Stacy:

“After three movies we finally got the opportunity to tell what really started Peter Parker on his journey: the fact that he lost his parents. He doesn’t know what happened to them, no-one talks about it. And around the world there are millions and millions of children in a similar position, children that were adopted… at the end of the day they want to know one thing “Who am I?”

So we found a very, very good story about the true origin of what makes a human being, what sets their destiny.

Then we got to Gwen Stacy. Not only a great love interest but actually a real intellectual friend, a real intellectual competition, a strong woman who represents our world today and our our world tomorrow.

This movie is driven from the Spider-man, Peter Parker point of view. It’s not like taking a picture and getting bitten by a spider. Peter is on a quest and it makes for an unusual movie in which peter carves his own destiny by looking for answers…

When Peter Parker gets his powers all it does is enhance his physical ability because his heart was always the heart of a hero.”

Arad on Dr. Curt Connors: “We introduce our villain, Doctor Connors, and in the great tradition of Marvel, Doctor Connors is going to be connected to Peter Parker and in our case, even more interesting, into Gwen Stacy. Right there, the challenge to deal with a villain that is also a mentor. The only one you can look at and say “What really happened to my Dad?” That’s a very hard person to fight.”

I’m excited to see “the untold story” and I love Director Marc Webb’s 500 Days of Summer.

A giant spider web of new photos, story details and scoop on Spidey’s big screen return in 2012. The biggest reveal: this is the first in a planned series of new Spidey films!

Amazing Spider-Man now has an official site packed with new character photos and a story description.

Dr. Curt Connors, an Oscorp scientist and mentor to Peter and Gwen (who will transform into the Lizard.)

Peter “uncovers a secret his father held…a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story.”

In the comic books Peter’s parents were spies. Campbell Scott is listed in the cast as Richard Parker, Peter’s father. This inspires some exciting ideas for sequels like the villain Chameleon or SHIELD. The Parkers were not SHIELD agents. There’s an old tale of the Parkers rescuing a familiar Canadian named Logan from Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.

There are a lot of Oscorp references so perhaps Norman and Harry Osborn are slated to appear in possible sequels.
