Marvel Movie News Trifecta: Thor 2, Iron Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man

By June 11, 2012 Comics, Movies 0 Comment

? Zachary Levi, a.k.a. Chuck from Chuck, is replacing Josh Dallas as Fandral in Thor 2. I don’t know why Dallas was dropped or bowed out, but apparently Levi was originally cast as Fandral in Thor 1 until NBC greenlit that fifth season of Chuck and he couldn’t do it. So that all seems fine. (Via First Showing)

? Rumors from rumor places suggest that that pic of Iron Patriot from the Iron Man 3 set is not Iron Patriot at all, but War Machine with a new paint job, and the white dude piloting it was not the bad guy played by James Dale but a stuntman standing in for Don Cheadle. I find this reasonable, but I don’t find the original explanation unreasonable, so I’ll await more official confirmation.
? Here’s the first part of 25 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage of The Amazing Spider-Man. The other five installmentds are over at Via /Film. You let me know how it goes.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
