The newest look at Guy Ritchie’s Sherlocke Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr.

Marvel has announced that Natalie Portman will be joining Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. She will play the role of Jane Foster. The lead role is being played by Chris Hemsworth, who you might recognize in the small role as Captain Kirk’s dad in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek.

And Entertainment Weekly has the first look at Iron Man 2 with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johannson and Mickey Rourke on the cover:

It comes out May 7, 2010! ALSO, Marvel Studios and Paramount have announced they’ll have a panel for Iron Man 2 at Comic-Con on Saturday, July 25th from 4-5 pm in Hall H. When more details come out, I’ll let you know… This means you could come watch the AOTS live show from 1 to 4 p.m. pst and then run over there!

Seth Gordon, director of The King of Kong, is in talks to direct a big screen adaptation of King Dork, a book by author Frank Portman.

It’s a high school dramedy about a teenage misfit who seeks refuge in music, and tries to uncover the truth about his father’s death. The book starts out with the lead character finding a copy of JD Sallenger’s A Catcher in the Rye and then becomes immersed in the world of the book… or something like that. I loved The King of Kong, so I’m hoping I’ll love King Dork… hhmm.. Maybe he can make a movie about me called King Pie??

MTV talked to Nicolas Cage, and he said he’s still interested in a sequel to Ghost Rider but would like to do a “reconceive.” He wants to move away from the “Western style of the first film, he sees a second film as more of an ‘international story’ that may bring the character to Europe for a team-up with the Catholic Church.”

Working on Iron Man 2 has been such an amazing experience. Everyone I’ve worked with including Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau have been more than incredible. I can’t talk about the plot or my role per contracts with Marvel. But, I can tell you that the energy on the set is unbelievably creative, supportive and fun. For as hyped up as this film is, you’d think it would be super tense and stressful. But, it’s the exact opposite. Everyone involved working on the film is always high energy and excited to be on set.

Comes out May 2010.
