About the Green Lantern trailer, this is from dude who was leaking all that Green Lantern shit last year like Warners left the faucet open...

Seriously though, we have no idea when the trailer will hit. It all depends on when the studio gets the thumbs up from the editing department. What I do know is this:

- Over the past two (maybe even three) weeks they have been testing three different trailers with various focus groups. Two of the new trailers are action-oriented while one supposedly reflects the more dramatic aspects of the film (I've only seen one of the action heavy ones so I have no idea what the drama-filled one contains)

- As of last week the studio was ok with it being released, but it is up to Campbell and his cronies who are using recent feedback to tweak the footage and give the final 'ok'

- It will undoubtedly be released in theaters with Sucker Punch and, at the latest, be online a day or two before via Yahoo! Movies.

- TV spots will begin airing in mid-April

Derek Luke's Captain America Role Revealed!

The fact that actor Derek Luke was even in Marvel Studios' Captain America: The First Avenger was kept on the down low for quite some time until people noticed his name on the poster. At the time, no one knew who he was going to play with conjecture ranging from Sam Wilson (aka The Falcon) to Isaiah Bradley (the African-American man who also too part in the Super Soldier experiment) to a younger Nick Fury or even his father Jack Fury, a character created for an episode of "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes."

The intrepid Wilson Morales at BlackFilm did a bit of legwork and found out that Luke is in fact playing...

Gabe Jones of The Howling Commandos!

Confirming Kevin Feige's earlier statement that Nick Fury's old WWII fighting unit would be in the movie, Jones was introduced as a member of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos way back in 1963, and later became a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent under Fury.

Derek Luke got his start playing the title role in Denzel Washington's directorial debut Antwone Fisher before playing key roles in the indie Pieces of April and sports movies Friday Night Lights and Glory Road. More recently, he played a soldier in Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna and Sean Combs in the Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious as well as appearing in Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail.

There's still no word whether we'll actually see a younger version of Samuel L. Jackson's character in the movie leading the Commandos or whether we'll have some explanation how someone fighting during WWII can still be in active government duty without being frozen in an iceberg, but we have confidence that all will be explained when Captain America: The First Avenger opens on July 22!

Aaron Eckhart Returning as Two-Face After All?

During a recent interview for his new sci-fi action film, "Battle: Los Angeles," Aaron Eckhart hinted at a surprise-return to his character, Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face in Christopher Nolan's upcoming sequel, "The Dark Knight Rises."

This would be a shock to must fans who by now are well aware of Harvey Dent's outcome in 2008's "The Dark Knight."

Getting hard information from any of the major players in "The Dark Knight Returns," from director Christopher Nolan to the actors involved, has not been easy.

Earlier this week in an interview with MTV, Gary Oldman, who plays Jim Gordon in "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight," said he hadn't yet seen a script but knew the story was great.

He didn't offer details but said that he thought the movie Christopher Nolan is making will top "The Dark Knight."

Further episodes debut weekly on Wednesdays beginning April 6, with each high-definition episode priced at $2.99 (standard definition is also available at $1.99/episode).

Inspired by the acclaimed graphic novel from Robert Rodi and Esad Ribic, "Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers" takes a powerful look inside the minds of Thor & Loki, brothers in the mythical land of Asgard and seemingly forever enemies. But just why does Loki hate his brother Thor? And could it be that this master of mischief isn’t really the villain he’s been branded? Loki's insatiable lust for power and his feud with Thor take on new meaning in this resonant epic.

"It's been an incredible experience developing and producing 'Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers,'" says Ruwan Jayatilleke, producer of "Thor & Loki." "The source material by Robert and Esad is absolutely brilliant and works on so many different levels as a story for multiple mediums. To be honest it's been an honor--and a blast--to work with the talented creatives of Magnetic Dreams, Edge Studio, Underground Music, and NYAV! What we've put together as a team will further define and push the boundaries of what Marvel Knights Animation can be as well as entertain comic book enthusiasts and mainstream fans with a very compelling piece of content."

He’s the super hero everyone’s talking about and before Marvel Studios' "Thor" feature film debuts, experience one of Thor’s most popular stories in comic history through cutting edge animation. It’s "Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers"--and you’ll never see the world of Thor the same way ever again!

Now check out the exciting trailer for the series, and stay tuned to Marvel.com for interviews with the creators and more in the coming weeks!

what do you all think about Emmanuelle Chriqui for Lois Lane?

[Dr Doom]

She'd make a very good 'Hispanesque' Lois Lane à la All Star Superman, lol.
