Marvel Movie News - Iron Man 4, Doctor Strange, Amazing Spider-Man, FF and More

On this comics-themed special edition episode, we discuss all of the latest superhero movie news leading up to New York Comic-Con. But with all of the gossip, rumors and speculation swirling around on the internet over the past few weeks, we are admittedly left with far more questions than answers. Has Robert Downey Jr. really signed on to reprise his role in Iron Man 4? Is the Doctor Strange movie confirmed – or isn't it? What is the future of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise in light of the second film’s under-performance at the box office? And what’s up with Marvel and all of this drama surrounding Fox’s upcoming Fantastic Four film? We tackle these questions and more, and give our overall thoughts on the exciting (and very unpredictable) world of comic book movies.

And of course, no comic book podcast would be complete without talking about the books we’ve been reading over the past few weeks. Our discussion includes: The Fuse by Anthony Johnston and Justin Greenwood, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters by Mike Grell, Southern Bastards by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, Batgirl by Gail Simone and Ardian Syaf, Nailbiter by Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson, Gotham Academy by Becky Cloonan and Karl Kerschl, Batman Eternal by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV et al, Suicide Risk by Mike Carey and Elena Casagrande, Sherlock Bones by Yuma Ando and Yuki Sato, Gangsta by Kohske, and more.

One thing is certain – judging from the latest crop of comic book and graphic novel releases, the film industry has some amazing source material for the films of the future. This…is the Joy of Comics!
