Marvel-ous Sega, Wright Gone Wrong?

Marvel and Sega have inked deals for videogame spin-offs of several upcoming Marvel movies. The games will be released day-and-date with the films.

The deal now includes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor. Should the greenlight never come for the Captain or the Norse God, the games will, apparently, still go ahead.

Rights to Avengers, Nick Fury and Ant Man films haven't been inked yet - which suggests Thor and Captain America are higher priority movies for Marvel right now. I fear we may never get to see Edgar Wright's Ant Man movie, this perhaps stokes the flames of that fear.

Will Wright's next film be his reteaming with Pegg and Frost? Will it be Scott Pilgrim? Them? Something completely different? Perhaps the box office for Hot Fuzz in the US this weekend will decide.

What's Black And White And Edgar All Over

If - and it's a pretty big If - Edgar Wright's film of Jon Ronson's Them ever gets made, it looks like Jack Black is going to be the star.

Mike White is writing the script for this fiction film adaptation of a non-fiction book, so it should come as no surprise Black is involved.

From Edgar's comments on the matter, inclduing his latest to SlashFilm, however, it doesn't seem like Them will be going before the cameras anytime soon.

That moves the Scott Pilgrim, Ant Man and Untitled Simon Pegg Time Travel Project pieces each a square forward on the Edgar Wright gameboard. By my reckoning, Ant Man's in the lead but quite near a snake's head.
