The First Avenger: Captain America News – Sorry guys, but the movie trailers seemed to be taking a break this week because there were few that I came across and the ones I did weren’t too exciting. But as to not leave you hanging, I will leave you with this little bit of info: Captain America’s love interest, Peggy Carter, has been cast for the upcoming film The First Avenger: Captain America, and she is British. WHAT!?!?! OH THE SCANDAL… No just kidding about that last bit, but I just wish Emily Blunt had really considered taking the role considering her reasoning behind waving it aside is no longer valid. Then again, there are rumors circulating that she turned it down for the opportunity to play Catwoman in the next Batman film. I guess we will find out in time… Check out the short article about the film and casting here.

Gears of War 3 Ashes to Ashes Trailer – (XBOX 360) – A haunting trailer has been released for the 3^rd installment in this franchise, and though Microsoft has hinted that this won’t be the last Gears of War game, it is supposed to tie up this storyline. Check out the trailer here. Also, it has been confirmed that the co-op mode is becoming a little larger, with four players this time around (possibly one being a female).

Suggestion Box (March 22 – 28)

Movies:

Accidents Happen Trailer – Oooo… Look at the slo mo… Okay, this movie about an accident-prone family and how they cope with it looks to be pretty interesting all around, but it had me hooked a couple seconds into the trailer with the slow motion baseball rebound… Check it out here.

Despicable Me Trailer – All right, with this trailer it is finally possible to get an idea of what the story of this animated film is actually about. Check it out here.

The First Avenger: Captain America – Okay, I guess technically this isn’t a suggestion so much as a news related rant… But looks like Chris Evans will be playing Captain America. Though I love him because he is hilarious and, let’s face it, quite dreamy, I don’t understand why superhero films recycle their actors so much. It may be hard for many to remember judging on the opinions of the Fantastic Four films, but Evans has already played a superhero with the Human Torch, another Marvel character no less. And the same can be said for Ryan Reynolds, who played Deadpool in Wolverine and is now not only getting a movie based on that character, but is playing the Green Lantern as well. He is also one of my favorites, but this is going to start to get confusing in my comic book based characters universe… Any thoughts?
