Movie News # 2 June 5, 2013


  • Today's news includes:
  • 22 Jump Street
  • RDJ a certain Iron Man return to Avengers 2?
  • Sequel to WWZ
  • Benicio Del Toro in Guardians of the Galaxy
Let's start with 22 Jump Street. The critically and fan favorite comedy of 2012 was announced to be getting a sequel at this years Cinemacon in Las Vegas. Originally titled 21 Jump Street 2, it has changed it's name. The writers and creators of the first film are hard at work on the sequel which is set to be released on June 13,2014. The news broke today that the film would be titled 22 Jump Street. This news does not surprise me but makes me mad. This is cheesy and stupid. A better title would be 21 Jump Street: College because it clearly states that in the first movies setting. The first film I loved so beside the title of the sequel I'm on board.

RDJ (Robert Downey Jr.) is said to be returning by Joss Whedon. If Disney does not bring back the first Iron Man, Whedon will not do the film. This will setback the film for another year or two. Disney does not want to part with Whedon leaving them with one option bring back RDJ. I love the idea of Robert Downey Jr. coming back and since Joss is so far into the process he correctly placed his comment. Disney will most likely give Joss his Robert Downey Jr. because he has already booked a script, location,and release date.

Marc Forester director of World War Z said he would be open to doing a sequel to WWZ. Having not yet seen the film I might like to see this happen.

There has been some speculation that Benicio Del Toro who recently was cast in the Guardians of the Galaxy film, could get the part of Thanos. Having not seen any of his major works I don't know whether he will do well in this film.
