TM Movie News: Spider-Pics, More Mutants, Dumb & Dumber!

- by Steve Garcia, 15 July 2013

Lots of stuff to look at this week! Also, "Ant-Man", "Dumb and Dumber", and X-Force, oh my! Movie News time!

Alice in Wonderland 2:

Actor Johnny Depp is in final negotiations to reprise his role as the Mad Hatter for the sequel of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The film is slated for a summer 2015 release and will be directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.

• Steve Says: New direction team makes me more interested in what this movie has to offer. While I didn’t love the Burton reboot, Depp is always fun to watch as he goes nuts onscreen. I approve.

Ant-Man:

Writer/Director Edgar Write has officially gone on record and finally announced that the script for the highly anticipated Ant-Man film is 100% complete. Ant-Man will be the first film of Marvel’s Phase 3, which takes place after Avengers 2.

• Steve Says: Well it’s about damn time! I’ve been waiting for this movie before it was in preproduction in 2008. Easily my most anticipated of the Marvel films next to "Guardians of the Galaxy"!
  

Dumb and Dumber To:

Actor Jeff Daniels has officially confirmed that the production for ''Dumb and Dumber To'' will begin this September. Jim Carrey is expected to return, and the release date is still unconfirmed.

• Steve Says: Gimmie a good movie, guys! The original is a classic!

Magneto:

According to the notoriously loud-mouthed comic book creator Rob Liefeld, Fox Studios apparently has a solo Magneto film planned for the not-so-distant future.

• Steve Says: Well this is certainly unexpected. A billion years ago, they were talking about doing this movie after X-Men: The Last Stand, but it was ultimately turned into X-Men: First Class (easily the best of the X-Men films, in my humble opinion). After Michael Fassbender’s incredible performance of the Master of Magnetism in First Class, I’d absolutely dive onto this movie. But will they go with Fassbender? Because last I checked, Ian McKellen isn’t doing anything too important. Hm…

X-Force:

Kick-Ass 2 writer/director Jeff Wadlow is reportedly attached to an X-Force film. According to comic creator Rob Liefeld, the film will star Cable (the son of Cyclops, the X-Men’s usual leader) and Deadpool (the Merc with the Mouth) and will lead to that Deapool film that’s been stuck in development since X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s release in 2009.

• Steve Says:  WHAAAAAAAAAT!? Alright, for all you comic noobs, the X-Force is a team of mutants that, unlike the X-Men, aren’t afraid to kill to get the job done. It was huge in the 90’s, and the leader back then was Cable, Cyclops’s son from the future. Stay with me. There were other cool characters on there like Domino, Warpath, and Wolfsbane, but according to Mr. Liefeld, Deadpool’s the name that will attract the nerds. Of course I wouldn’t be surprised if Wolverine also makes the cut, as he was the leader of the Uncanny X-Force. That all being said, there’s no way that this can be a thing if it’s not rated R. It just has to be. I guess we’ll be seeing a lot more info on this next week at the San Diego Comic-Con. We’ll see!
