Posted on Monday, May 31st, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
We’ve featured many of the “Hi, I’m a Marvel… and I’m a DC” videos in past editions of Video of the Day. Sadly, the “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” television advertisements have officially come to an end, but thankfully that won’t stop ItsJustSomeRandomGuy’s comic book movie television commercial parodies. In the 100th episode, we have a musical spectacular.
When Batman and Iron Man get together to discuss sequels, Iron Man reveals a unique way to respond to his critics and explain the bigger picture for his company’s (as well as other company’s) film slate.

AMC Theatres Announces Iron Man / Iron Man 2 Double Feature
Posted on Friday, April 23rd, 2010 by Peter Sciretta
AMC Theatres will be giving Iron Man fans a double feature. The company announced today that 150 AMC-owned multiplexes across the country will be showing the original Iron Man film on May 6th at 9:00pm, back to back with the midnight release of Iron Man 2. The bad news is that tickets for each film are sold separately, and AMC doesn’t offer a double feature package. However, tickets to the original Iron Man are being sold “for up to 50 percent off the normal ticket price.” And yes, tickets are available now, so head after the jump to find a full list of theaters.
Trivia: Sam Rockwell Almost Played Tony Stark in Iron Man
Posted on Thursday, April 8th, 2010 by David Chen
Much of the success off 2008′s Iron Man can be attributed to the performance of Robert Downey Jr., who brought humor and charisma to the character of millionaire playboy Tony Stark. But according to Hero Complex at the LATimes, Sam Rockwell was on Jon Favreau’s short list of people to play the role. Jon Favreau explained:
He was one of the actors I was looking at for Tony Stark. There was some things he would bring to the role that would have been great. Sam is very charismatic and when I was looking at the character there was a list and he had a spot on it, which might have surprised some people. Robert surprised some people, too, though, and now he is Tony Stark, he owns that role. Sam would have come up with interesting and different things.
It’s interesting to think how the film would have been different with Rockwell filling in Downey Jr.’s shoes. For my money, I think he would have done a fine job, although it’s hard to say if the film’s impact on Hollywood would have been the same. (Iron Man grossed $318 million domestically). In any case, Rockwell will square off against Downey Jr. in Iron Man 2, where he’ll play Hammer, one of Stark’s rivals. “I knew Sam could handle the exposition we needed, and that’s why we added the character of Hammer, who is quite different here than he is in the comics,” said Favreau.

Kevin Feige Confirms Line-Up For The Avengers
Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Brendon Connelly
Making a coherent Avengers film that somehow bridges the styles of the other Marvel universe movies probably won’t be an easy job for whoever gets the job. Fans of the comic series are fairly well prepared to see discordant arrangements of characters both crossover and team up, but for a mainstream crowd, the collage might seem a little jarring.
Kevin Feige, the man that Marvel has awarded with the tricky role of orchestrating the whole multi-movie shebang, has recently given an interview to SFX magazine here in the UK. As well as discussing how on earth they’re going to pull these disparate strands together, he also let slip the line-up of established characters we can expect to see in the Avengers picture.
…its three people, four including Hulk , five including Nick Fury – who you have seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.
That’s good to know. But will Edward Norton be returning to the role, or will Dr. Banner have to be recast again?
Clark Gregg has signed on to reprise his role as Agent Coulson from Iron Man in Kenneth Branagh‘s big screen adaptation of Marvel’s Thor.
