X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE HD


Here's hoping it's as good as X2!

Terrence Howard says he was surprised to learn that Don Cheadle would replace him in "Iron Man 2."

"It was the surprise of a lifetime," the actor and musician told National Public Radio on Tuesday. "There was no explanation, (the contract) just up and vanished."

Howard said he read news reports that money was the issue, saying the contracts he signs apparently "aren't worth the paper that they're printed on sometimes."

Cheadle assumes the role of James Rhodes, a character that becomes Iron Man's sidekick War Machine in the comics, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as weapons mogul Tony Stark.

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow is the newest animated film produced by Marvel Comics & Lions Gate Entertainment. The movie was set to debut in July, but had been pushed back until this month. Here are some quick story details:

The children of the Avengers must rise up to their parents' legends and stop the villainous android Ultron in Marvel's next feature length animated movie. But with the world in peril, can these inexperienced young heroes save the day?

Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 2, 2008.

Get ready, True Believers, as the Sentry soars onto shelves this September in an all-new limited series, The Age of the Sentry #1 (of 6)! Join red-hot writers, Jeff Parker and Paul Tobin, along with rising-star artists Nick Dragotta and Ramon Rosanas, as they unveil the secret history of the man with the "power of a million exploding suns!" When the Golden Guardian is severely injured, it is up to Scout, Lindy Lee, and Watchdog to save the day. In order to do so, though, they'll have to travel back in time and learn how Rob Reynolds became the Sentry! PLUS: a startling new story featuring the Tinkerer and the Mad Thinker as they team up to build the ultimate device to steal the Sentry's powers, the parasitic beam! The Sentry is the only thing standing between them and world domination...

Editor Mark Paniccia told Marvel.com, "Jeff and Paul have an amazing respect and understanding of the magic of the Silver Age, and the approach of entertaining and inspiring readers by pushing the limits of the imagination... And Nick Dragotta's got the [Silver Age] style down pat!"

What will happen if the Sentry's alter-ego is exposed? Will the Tinkerer and Mad Thinker's evil scheme destroy the Golden Guardian? Read on, True Believers, and don't miss these breathtaking new tales in The Age of the Sentry #1 (of 6)!

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an upcoming video game for the PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Windows, Nintendo DS and Wii. The concept involves Venom returning New York to infect the city with an army of symbiotes.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has quarantined Manhattan to prevent the invasion from spreading. Spidey will team up with both heroes and villains from the MU to stop the invasion before he himself is consumed by the symbiote, attached to him once again.

I think the coolest thing about this game is the fact you, the player, will be able to choose the game's outcome, which villain to fight against AND the ability to switch between the original Red and Blue suit, and the Symbiote suit at any time!

Web of Shadows will be released on the mentioned platforms October 21st.

Before he was the Master of Magnetism and the most radical mutant rights activist mankind has ever seen - Magneto was just a boy growing up in Nazi Germany. In the Marvel Knights tradition of Spider-Man: Reign and Silver Surfer: Requiem comes X-Men: Magneto Testament #1 (of 5)! Witness the evolution of one of the most popular and controversial X-Men villains of all time! Superstar writer Greg Pak (World War Hulk, Incredible Hercules) is taking fans back to the year 1935 to show the difficulties and horrors Erik Lensherr faced growing up Jewish in Nazi occupied Germany. From award-winning artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (Daredevil: Batllin' Jack Murdock), comes the definitive origin story of the Master of Magnetism! It all begins with a silver chain, a first crush, and a dictator's rise to power...

Pak told Marvel.com, "Like so many classic Marvel characters, [Magneto] has to grapple with the typical problems of any scrawny outsider: family problems, schoolyard bullies, and first crushes...But every little conflict takes on a terrifying, new dimension as the scope and inexorable advance of the Nazi menace becomes clearer."

No X-Men fan can afford to miss X-Men: Magneto Testament #1 (of 5)!
