Upcoming Comic-Book Movie List
Here’s what’s coming to a theatre near you..
Iron Man (Post-production, May 2008)
Notes: Everything shown looks great, totally trustworthy talent involved.
The Hulk (Filming, June 2008)
Notes: Great talent, should be far better than the first.
Batman: The Dark Knight (Filming, July 2008)
Notes: More great talent, should be stellar like the first movie.
Hellboy 2 (Filming, July 2008)
Notes: First was fun, second probably is too.
Punisher 2 (Pre-production, 2008)
Notes: Good talent involved, should be improvement over tepid first movie.
Watchmen (Pre-production, March 2009)
Notes: Great director, unknown cast, difficult work to adapt, fingers crossed.
Superman: Man of Steel (Script in development, target date summer 2009)
Notes: Please, drop the Superboy idea. I still trust Singer, though.
The Spirit (Pre-production, 2009)
Notes: It’s Frank Miller, of course it’s going to be good.
Wolverine (Pre-production, 2009)
Notes: Origin story, good premise, would be really hard to mess up.
Sin City 2 (Pre-production, studio hold-ups)
Notes: Weinsteins are holding up this sure-fire hit for unknown reasons.
Thor (Director set and lead approached)
Notes: Great director named gives confidence for a good one.
Captain America (Script in development)
Notes: Origin story isn’t really that interesting, fingers crossed.
Ant-Man (Script in development)
Notes: Does anyone care about this movie at all?
Justice League of America (Script in development)
Notes: Solid director, great property, Jon Stewart ices the cake.
Magneto (Script in development)
Notes: Better hurry, the lead is old!
Sub-Mariner (Script in development)
Notes: Lack of recent announcements could be bad
Silver Surfer (Script in development)
Notes: Did the crushing bad reviews of FF2 dampen this project?
The Avengers (Script in development)
Notes: A no-brainer, this one will surely happen eventually.
Teen Titans (Script in development)
Notes: Project has perfect demographics studio looks for, this is a lock.
Green Hornet (Script writer set)
Notes: The involvement of Seth Rogan makes this worth keeping track of.
Spider-Man 4 (Looking for writer)
Notes: Meetings have been held, could be new talent though.
Dr. Strange (Recently rumored for announcement)
Notes: Really hoping this is true. Dr. Strange is awesome.
Not likely anytime soon (if at all):
Deathlok (Script in limbo?)
Notes: Probably (luckily) won’t happen… Robocop is so 1980s.
Iron Fist (Script in limbo?)
Notes: Who cares, Iron Fist sucks.
Black Panther (Offered to Singleton)
Notes: Could be marginally interesting if it actually happens.
Luke Cage (Offered to Singleton)
Notes: Who cares, Luke Cage sucks.
Daredevil 2 (License currently unavailable to Marvel)
Notes: Affleck wouldn’t be involved, so it could be good?
Flash (Development limbo)
Notes: The Flash is really not that exciting on screen. Hence, it’s in limbo.
Hawkeye (No announcements in 2 years)
Notes: Don’t hold your breath.
Power Pack (No announcements in 2 years)
Notes: Again, don’t hold your breath.

About a year ago, it was announced that a friend of yours, Adam Turner, was working on a screenplay for a Doom Patrol film. You blogged about this (July 2006) but I haven’t seen mention of the project anywhere since then and was wondering if you know anything.
