Jim Carrey Has A "Change Of Heart" About KICK-ASS 2 Because Of Sandy Hook
Jim Carrey's change of heart concerning "Kick-Ass 2" made waves in the media due to America's current political climate regarding gun control. Since his reversal of personal opinion, Carrey has somewhat come under fire from those who point out the fact that the comedic actor read the script for "Kick-Ass 2" months in advance of the tragedy and knew exactly what he was signing up for.

Legendary And Warner Bros. Officially Part Ways
For now, all we know for sure is that Warner Bros. wants a more hands on approach with its DC Comics adaptations. What that exactly means moving forward in the wake of Legendary's departure remains to be seen. Within the reveal of the split between the two film studios is an assertion that "Pacific Rim" is currently tracking for a poor opening weekend domestically.

DOCTOR STRANGE To Be Marvel Studios' New Star Franchise In Phase 3 & Beyond
Label this one as a rumor for now but details in the article above states that "Doctor Strange" will be the "Iron Man" of Marvel Studios' Phase III. With Robert Downey Jr. appearing to be only willing to commit for two more appearances in "The Avengers" sequels, it seems plausible on the surface.

Not a whole lot of new information in this interview with "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder but he does reveal that there's actually been no official talks with Warner Bros. on a sequel as he's busy promoting internationally.

TERMINATOR Reboot To Launch New Trilogy In 2015!
"The first in a standalone trilogy...", that sure sounds like a reboot. Presently there are rumors that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson are in talks for unspecified roles but they're just that...rumors.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles needs to be picked up by Netflix. FOX ended it with no explanation as to what happened there at the end...much like tons of other shows FOX aired: Firefly, Human Target, Tera Nova, etc...

@ santoanderson I am sure he wont because he is a hypocrite like most of the people in Hollywood. I would love if they edited his entire character out of the movie.

i can only see dr.strange being the new iron man if they cast a big draw like johnny depp or maybe benedict cumberbatch.

I think Strange can work but I need to know who's involved before I can say that with confidence.

All the news sites I've read indicate that Legendary hasn't parted with WB just yet. WB is one of the studios still in the running, along with Lionsgate and a couple others.

They need to reboot punisher or being back Jane...he'd be a great replacement for Iron Man, he the only other major character that doesn't have magical powers, lol, so he's the guy people can believe in...Strange? Yea, even with 2 centuries of technology I don't think I can pretend I can cast spells and fight the devil...at least Iron Man is something I can wrap my head around (possible in the future) lol

How about making a female character the next big thing like "ironman". I know just the character CAROL DANVERS aka Ms Marvel aka Captain Marvel. I can't be the only one who thinks she's a great character? I thought Marvel Studios was all about taking chances?
