Hulk will return - but how?

ComingSoon.net has a tidy wrap-up of some of the items discussed during the Marvel panel at the SD Comic Con. Of note is that Kevin Feige is reported to have said that the Incredible Hulk film lived up to expectations and drew a nice response from audiences - and that the Hulk would return. Whether or not this means we'll see a direct sequel or an appearance (or appearances) in other Marvel Movies is left to be seen. Check it out here.

What the heck is 'X-Men: First Class'?

So SuperHeroHype.com has this article about a listing they spotted on Production Weekly for something called 'X-Men: First Class'. They speculate that the listing may be referring to a future movie based on the comic book series. Now I don't know much about this Production Weekly website and I'm not familiar with all of the listings on that page, but the majority of them seem like upcoming movies. However, I did notice that one of the listings was for 'The Office Spin-Off' - a television series. When I saw that, my spider-sense kicked in and for some reason I got a gut feeling that the 'X-Men: First Class' listing is actually referring to an upcoming TV show. Of course, only time will tell.

Wolverine leaked footage and screenshots

Footage from the upcoming Marvel Movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (shown at the SD Comic Con) has been leaked (of course), and you can find some of it here and here. Blurry screenshots can be found here and here.

EDIT It looks like the leaked footage may not have been authorized and has been pulled. I've redirected my links to the "movie news" page on the official Marvel website in the event that they post the trailer (or some news about it). We'll have to wait true believers!
