Rick Marshall was right -- thanks to the major studios toning it down for NYCC, we're getting a lot of nice updates on the "smaller" comic book films from the con. Remember X-Men: First Class? Josh Schwartz confirmed to MTV Splash Page that he is writing the film, but not directing it. They're only just getting started with the script, so he was tight-lipped on who the First Class will be. He did say they won't be tackling Dark Phoenix, but the fact that he even mentions the story-of-all-stories makes me wonder if First Class will be a young Cyclops, Jean Gray, Beast, etc.

Storm Cameo Cut from 'Wolverine'
From: GetTheBigPicture.net
When she appeared briefly in the trailer, it was worth wondering how substantial a part she'd play in the movie. Apparently, however, we won't need to worry about it anymore. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner told Widescreen Vision (via Worst Previews) that a cameo by fellow X-Men member Storm has been cut from this summer's Wolverine. You can listen to the interview here.
We know why Marvel would want more X-Men in the film; the more branches on the tree of their comic book franchises, the better. So I wonder why such a minor role was cut, particularly if they're just building for future appearances?
On another note, Donner says the film is still being edited, but we won't need to worry about another Dark Knight in terms of length. Wolverine is "way under two hours."

New Wolverine Pics Hit The Web
From: ShockYa.com
French magazine Climax had a cover story about the highly-anticipated “X-Men Origins:
Set roughly twenty years before the events of the first
The movie stars Hugh Jackman as the clawed mutant Wolverine, Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth, who has similar feral powers to Wolverine, Danny Huston as Colonel Stryker, commander of Weapon X, and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, the sword-weilding, joke-cracking assassin with a healing power like Wolverine’s.
Wolverine, also known as Logan, is a mutant from Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in “Incredible Hulk” #180 in October 1974, and was created and designed by Marvel art director John Romita Sr and writer Len Wein. He was first drawn for publication by Herb Trimpe. One of Marvel’s and the comic industry’s most recognizable characters, Wolverine, an anti-hero with a mysterious and long-lived past, has superhuman healing powers, enhanced animal-like senses, and long claws that he can unleash through his knuckles. His skeleton and claws have been reinforced with the fictional unbreakable metal called adamantium, a result of his time as a test subject for a military super-soldier project that also altered his memories and at one time, turned him into a killing machine.
“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” hits theaters May 1st, 2009.
Stay tuned to Shockya.com for more Wolverine news.

Wolverine gets earlier release date
From: Filmonic.com
According to Den of Geek the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been moved forward a few days.
According to Den of Geek the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been moved forward a few days.
The original plan was for the film to get its release on Friday 1st May, but thanks to a quick shuffle of the schedules, it’s now moved into April.
The new date that you need to mark in your diaries is Wednesday 29th April 2009.
This isn’t a big shift and a small change in date is quite common (just like reshoots). The following weekend Star Trek is released so Fox will be trying to get more $$$ before the other summer players show themselves. Considering the future direction of the X-Men franchise depends on the success or failure of Wolverine, this is a good move.

What Wolverine Movie Has Hasbro Been Watching?
From: ToplessRobot.com
Hasbro released pics of its upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie figures this weekend, and some of the more astute of you might notice that, well...none of the above are X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie figures. In fact, that's regular comic Wolverine, Logan and Sabertooth toys, with nary a hint of Hugh Jackman or Liev Schreiber. The question is: do you care, or are you fine with more comic figures?
Apparently, the line will also include a Weapon X Logan -- so naked with a big-ass helmet, I guess -- and a Stealth Logan, which hopefully won't mean the regular Wolverine figure painted blue. But there are also three TBDs according to Entertainment Earth. I would assume the remaining figures would also be comic style, but who are we thinking? The Blob? Silver Fox? Gambit? ...Deadpool?

Ryan Reynolds Pumps Iron to Play 'Deadpool'

32-year-old hunk is reshooting scenes for 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'
32-year-old hunk is reshooting scenes for 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'
Actor Ryan Reynolds works out at a gym in Vancouver, B.C., on Jan. 22. Ryan, 32, has been in Canada re-shooting scenes for the upcoming action flick, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
The film is being re-shot to include more footage of the superfit Reynolds, who plays Wade Wilson (Deadpool). The thriller stars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber (as Victor Creed/Sabretooth), Taylor Kitsch (as Remy LeBeau/Gambit) and Lynn Collins (as Silver Fox).
Born James Howlett and commonly known as Logan, Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, retracting bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan.
This super-healing ability enabled the supersoldier 
program Weapon X to bond the near indestructible metal alloy adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton and claws.
Meanwhile, Deadpool is a high-tech mercenary known for his wisecracks, black comedy, and satirical pop-culture references. Like the X-Men’s Wolverine, Deadpool is the product of the Canadian government’s paramilitary Weapon X program, although his place of birth is unknown. After Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative “healing factor” extracted from Wolverine, Deadpool is left disfigured and mentally unstable.
Ryan, who married actress Scarlett Johansson, 23, Sept. 27 in Canada, competed in the 2008 New York City Marathon on Nov. 2. The 6'3" heartthrob ran the marathon to help raise money for Parkinson's Disease research (Reynolds' dad suffers from the disease).
Ryan's new movie, Adventureland, comes out March 27. The light-hearted comedy co-stars Twilight cutie Kristen Stewart, 18.
