Cee Diddy Meets... (Season Two)


News You Already Know

* Marvel Studios as debunked the Will Smith rumors regarding Captain America. As of right now we still have no leads on who will be playing the Star-Spangled Avenger.

* Phillip Seymour Hoffman as also debunked rumors that he is playing Penguin in the next Batman film. Mr.Hoffman also reminded everyone that the same rumor was going around five years ago after the first Batman film.

* Marvel has announced a new Avengers title that starts after "Secret Invasion". "Dark Avengers" will be written by Brian Micheal Benids. Bendis will be leaving "Mighty Avengers" but staying on "New Avengers". "Dark Avengers" will reflect the status change in the Marvel Universe after "Secret Invasion". All the Marvel books will be labeled with "Dark Reign" after the invasion is over. This adds fuel to the rumor that the Skrulls win control of Earth.

* Chuck Dixon has found a new home at IDW. The former writer of DC titles such as "Robin" and "Booster Gold", will be writing "G.I. Joe" for IDW. You can check out part one of a round table interview with Chuck Dixon, Larry Hama, Andy Schmidt, Chris Ryall, and Mike Costa, HERE.

* Mark Millar made it official that his return to Marvel's Ultimate Universe will be in the new "Ultimate Avengers" series. Millar has promised that every story arc will be an epic event similar to a "Secret Invasion" or "Civil War". The book will feature different line-ups in each book also. No word if this title will be replacing "The Ultimates".

* In January "The Dark Knight" will return to IMAX theaters for a limited release. Warner Bros. is hoping this will help remind the academy when the Oscars roll around. Remember nerds, if Star Wars and LOTR can get nominated, so can Batman.

Crazy Ass Rumors

* The newest Batman movie rumor to surface has Cher, yep Cher, playing Catwoman in the next Batman film.

* Iron Man 2 and Thor are coming up in 2010. As of now we have no idea who will play Thor, but a new rumor is going around about Captain America. It is being reported that Will Smith has been offered the role of Steve Rogers. I had no problem with a black Kingpin, and I enjoy the black Nick Fury, but no way am I going for this idea. Some things you don't change.

* Marvel Comics are going to be seeing a lot of green in the coming years. No we're not talking about cash, we're talking about Skrulls. An early rumor going around is that the Skrulls may not win the "Secret Invasion" but will be calling Earth home after the series ends.

* We have been talking about "Spider-Man 4 and 5" for a few months now. The scripts are done, and word is that Sam Raimi and Tobey "Billion dollars" Maguire are signed to do the next two films about the web crawler. As usual, early word as Lizard as appearing in the new Spider-Man film.

* Marvel Studios is still toying with the idea of doing the proposed Edgar Wright "Ant-Man" film. One rumor suggest that the title will be "Ant-Man: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." Geeks are still hoping the movie will get the green light and have Simon Pegg casted as the lead.

* Issue one of "Secret Six" saw the first new addition to the team. Just as we called it, Bane was added to the team. There's still one person left to add, and our official guess is Harley Quinn.
