First Official Poster for The Avengers!

San Diego Comic Con came and went in a flash, just as it does every year but it always leaves us with some great teasers to give us something to look forward to!

We’ve already seen movies for The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and now with the release of Joe Johnston‘s Captain America: The First Avenger, we can finally start looking forward to The Avengers movie directed by none other than Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Serenity)

At Comic-con this past weekend they unveiled the first official poster for The Avengers!!

The Avengers (2012)

The Avengers is slated to be released May 4th, 2012!! It will feature an all-star cast of Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Scarlet Johansson (The Prestige). This is going to be the greatest superhero epic of our time and I cannot wait for more details to be released!

What are your first impressions of the poster?

A Close-Up Look at Captain America’s Avengers Uniform!

Since Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers is slated to release in the Spring of 2012, they are already in the middle of production for the Marvel superhero epic!

This weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con, they had on display the new uniform that will be worn by Captain America himself! It is an updated and modernized version of what we will see in Joe Johnson‘s Captain America: The First Avenger since that film is set in the early 1940s.

Personally, I think this is one hell of a costume. It is sleek, modern and yet still represents the classic feel of Captain America with his trademark shield, wings and patriotic colours. I have all the faith in the world in Joss Whedon to pull off this film!

[NEW] Trailer – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law team up again as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie’s much anticipated sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows!

July is my favourite time of year! The weather is sunny and hot, we’re all awaiting the next summer blockbuster to release and…we get our first glimpse at our Christmas blockbusters! Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is likely to be one of the first trailers we should expect this month and I am thrilled!!

Guy Ritchie known for his sharp, smart and witty British films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, he once expressed that he always wanted to direct a period piece, and in 2009, he brought us his exceptional take on Sherlock Holmes. If you have not had the chance to watch it, I would very highly recommend it! Robert Downey Jr. is at his very best, on par with his performance as Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder. Today, we finally get our first glimpse of our long awaited sequel and I think it looks great! Not all sequels are doomed for failure!

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson will have it out with who will ultimately be their arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty played by Jared Harris; many may recognize him as Lane Pryce from Mad Men. On paper, Moriarty is essentially an evil version of the witty and brilliant detective so it will surely be an entertaining and very evenly matched chess game between the two rivals. The femme fatale in Ritchie’s sequel will be none other than Noomi Rapace, renowned for her portrayal of the lead character, Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Saga.

As you might tell, I am SO excited for this to come out and even more thrilled that it looks as great as the first! What do you think of the trailer? First impressions?

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is set for release December 16th, 2011! Everyone mark your calendars!
