COOL PROMO POSTERS FOR "THOR" AND "CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER". "FREAKSHOW" AND "THE STRANGE CASE OF HYDE" COMIC BOOK ADAPTATIONS

You know when the ComicCon starts we get a lot of movie treats: "Yahoo Movies" has released today two amazing promo posters which will be used during ComicCon for two of the Marvel's most anticipated films "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger".

Marvel is organizing a big panel at San Diego ComicCon this Saturday, and hopefully they might release some pictures and images for both "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" on that occasion, beside these art work posters.

And when we are mentioning "Thor", Mark Protosevich, the screenwriter who adapted Thor for the big screen, is planning to adapt another comic book: it is possible that he will also direct "Freakshow", the film version of the upcoming comic book in which the story revolves around five young people who are turned into mutants with special powers after a chemical explosion and they must decide whether to use their powers to save the city or to exact revenge on those responsible for the explosion.

Another comic book to be adapted into a film is "The Strange Case of Hyde". This Dark Horse comic follows Dr. Jekyll and his alter-ego Mr. Hyde, bringing a fresh view of the famous story by making the split personality the center of a Victorian-era action-adventure that sees him go head-to-head against a historical villain.

NEW CHARACTER POSTERS FROM ROMAN EPIC "CENTURION". STEPHEN SOMMERS WILL DIRECT "G.I.JOE2". "MAGE" COMIC MOVIE ADAPATION

One of the movies we are anxiously waiting to see on August 27th is the Roman epic "Centurion" directed by Neill Marshall. Three new character posters and a new hand-drawn comic poster have just been revealed showing Michael Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko and Dominic West. Check them out.

As I've informed you many times before, "Centurion" will follow the legendary Ninth Legion which is trying to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader over at ancient Britain.

Earlier this year, I've also informed you that "G.I.Joe" will get its sequel, and now it has been officially confirmed that visual genius, Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy", "Van Helsing") will sit behind the helm again. Channing Tatum will most likely return as Captain Duke Hauser in the new installment of the movie which has grossed more than $300 million around the world.

Lloyd Levin the producer of "Watchmen" has bought the film rights to the comic book series "Mage". According to "Movieweb", the series was created by Matt Wagner in the 80s, and is a reimagined version of the Camelot legend. The story centers on Kevin Matchstick, a troubled young man who learns he possesses special powers and, with the aid of an enchanted baseball bat, seeks out to vanquish the evil plans of the Umbra Sprite.

FIRST PIC OF HELEN MIRREN AS PROSPERA IN "THE TEMPEST". CHRISTOPH WALTZ MIGHT BE THE LIZARD IN "SPIDERMAN". LIST OF NEW MARVEL FILMS

OK, people, since spies can't rest even on Sundays, here's your dose of the freshest film news for today: I've been trying to find the first pic from this film for a long time, but now here it is: Helen Mirren as the sorceress Prospera in Julie Taymor's adaptation of Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". Released by Disney this December, "The Tempest" will deal with Prospera's journey from vengeance to forgiveness as she reigns over a magical island,

cares for her young daughter, Miranda, and unleashes her powers against shipwrecked enemies in this exciting, masterly mix of romance, tragicomedy and the supernatural. Ben Wishaw will play the airy spirit Ariel, Russel Brand is jester Trinculo, Djimon Hounsou is the deformed slave Caliban, Alfred Molina is the drunken butler Stephano ...

Even though most of the world has totally lost interest in "Spider-Man" reboot after they gave the lead role to Andrew Garfield (don't ask me who he is, I don't know), and after they lost Michael Fassbender who decided to be Magneto in "X-Men: First Class" instead of being a villain in Spider-Man, it seems the studio is still going on with the casting. According to new rumors, Sony wants Christoph Waltz as the bad guy, and the bad guy might be The Lizard.


After "Thor" and "Captain America" premier in 2011, and "The Avengers" in 2012 with "Runaways" (teen super heroes) also coming out in 2011, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has revealed to MTV that after 2013 we shall see new super hero movies from Marvel which might include some of the following comics Iron Fist, Black Panther, S.H.I.E.L.D., Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy.
