There's even going to be a Spider-man musical. A musical about SPIDEY! And music and lyrics by Bono! I wonder if they'll have the "Spider-man Spider-man does whatever a spider can" song in it. Maybe there will be some cryptic references about saving the environment in it.
So many movies I'd be interested in watching. I knew there was going to be an Iron Man movie and another Hulk movie. But I didn't know there was going to be another Punisher film! And Thor! And the most anticipated movie for me: The Avengers! I can't wait to see Captain America yell out on the big screen:
"Avengers Assemble!"
Some hotties have been cast in various comic-book related movies coming up soon:
Angelina Jolie - The Fox from Wanted
Gwyneth Paltrow - Pepper Potts from Iron Man
Melissa George - Stella Olemaun from 30 Days of Night
Maggie Gyllenhall - Rachel Dawes from The Dark Knight
