– While there has been no official casting news, Marvel is getting set to bring Dr. Strange to the big screen. According to Screen Daily, Marvel Studios is in negotiations to film Dr. Strange in England at Pinewood-Shepperton Studios, the same place that Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Star Wars Episode VII all were shot. Pinewood is, arguably, the most famous studio outside of Hollywood, and has been home to countless iconic films.
– In November, Marvel will be publishing a series of Rocket Raccoon and Groot variant covers. If that isn’t enough Rocket art for you, make sure to take advantage of our amazing Bill Mantlo auctions!
– Was there a sneaky Punisher cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier? It looks like it.
– Speaking of Frank Castle, want a “Punisher” comic with NBA star Tim Duncan on the cover? Well, wait no longer, friend!
– Kevin Smith’s Tusk, a really weird film concept (seriously, Google it), is set to become a really weird comic from Dynamite! Smith and Dynamite have a history together, having published his Green Hornet and Bionic Man screenplays as a series a number of years ago.
– Ever lose track of all of the TV adaptations DC has in the works? Well, Newsarama is here to help out – except that they forgot Syfy’s Booster Gold series.
– And, finally, never change, Dan Aykroyd: keep dreaming of a Marvel Studios-like Ghostbusters universe.
