Captain Marvel film could see the light ... so says Marvel Studio president

News out of Bad Ass Digest
It's only a matter of time before Marvel Studios releases a film which focuses on one of their many wonderful female heroes. There have been several rumors and stories regarding a potential Black Widow movie, but in a recent interview with Badass Digest, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige indicates they would rather start fresh with a new character.

"Frankly if we do a Black Widow movie after Age of Ultron, when she’s been central in three or four movies I don’t think we’d get the quote unquote credit for it. People would say ‘She’s already a big giant superhero!’ But if we had a great idea, we’d do it....I like the idea if we’re going to do a [female lead] do a new one. Do a wholly new character, do an origin story."

But which hero would they use? Feige was asked about Captain Marvel, to which he replied:

"We’ve talked a lot about [Captain Marvel]. I think that would be very cool."

Captain Marvel has seen a surge in popularity in the recent years, due largely in part to her revived comic series that saw former Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers "promoted" to the moniker of the former Kree superhero.

Scarlett Johansson Has a 'Very Big' Role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Solo Film Teased

News out of Total Film
When Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits the big screen on April 4, it will mark Scarlett Johansson's third big screen appearance as Natasha "Black Widow" Romanoff. That will soon be followed by a fourth, Avengers: Age of Ultron, in 2015. According to Total Film's new interview with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige (via Comic Book Movie), the much-anticipated sequel will feature a "very big" role for the character. What's more, he teases that a Black Widow solo film may be the next step for the character.
"We learn more about her past," Feige says of the Joss Whedon sequel, "and learn more about where she came from and how she became in that film. The notion of exploring that even further in her own film would be great, and we have some development work with that."
Of course, Black Widow is going to first have to make it through the events of The Winter Soldier, which Feige promises is a game-changer for the MCU.
"We wanted to change the dynamic of the cinematic universe with this film," Feige continues. "We wanted Cap and really the entire cinematic universe to be very different at the end of 'Winter Soldier' than it is at the beginning. Therefore, when we meet the Avengers at the top of 'Age of Ultron,' it's a very different landscape than we left them at the end of the first film. Partially that's because we love the rhythm that the comic books have developed. Each of the characters appear in their runs, occasionally they get together for a big event or crossover series, they part again, and then they come back together again."

 Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, 2015.

Grillo spoke with CraveOnline and did say that unlike many Marvel villains, this won't be the last we see of many of the characters introduced in the film.

"It's an origin film. You meet people who are going to be around for a while, so they introduce the characters. It's almost like it's a series. It's fun. I can't say very much about it because Marvel's very strict about what you're allowed to say. The movie, we've seen bits of it, and it is spectacular."

Asked if Marvel has plans for Grillo to return as Crossbones, he replied:

"They do actually. We'll see what happens. We'll see if the fans respond to Brock and how it goes."

Marvel's Guardians of The Galaxy movie news... casting news Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Benicio del Toro, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Bradley Cooper


Chris Pratt was recently interviewed by Fandango about his upcoming role in Marvel's Guardians of The Galaxy
Here is what Chris had to say
"Just the fact that he was part of the Marvel brand was really exciting,” says Pratt, who reveals he was in, hero unseen. “I was signed up to do the movie before I was even allowed to read a script, so it wasn't like something about this particular character that got me to do it. The fact that it was a Marvel movie is what got me to do it.”
“Granted, once I did read it there were so many things about the character that I love, and one thing is that he's very much a kid at heart,” “He's like a man-child. And I like the idea that he's got a false sense of bravado. Deep down inside he's lonely and desperate. But on the outside he walks around like he's big and tough, and I don't think he does a great job of convincing everybody that he's not just a scared little child.”

I can't say I ever was a huge fan of the series, but I do own a few copies...and the universe in Guardians is really gigantic, and maybe I simply got lost in it gargantuan-ess and ..literally lost interest quickly, but then again I was 10 years old and had very little attention span for such an epic storyline. I will be given this film a chance, if not for the story, just for it's insane cast of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Benicio del Toro, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Bradley Cooper
