The Superhero Movie Slapass Update keeps you informed on how progress on superhero movies is just not working out. Give us hell, movie making people!
Daniel Craig Shaken, Not Thor
Daniel Craig said he turned down the role of the Marvel superhero
Thor. He said it would be too much of a power trip to be James Bond and Thor. You know, Tom Hanks said the same thing about Forrest Gump and the gay dude in
Philadelphia.
No Flash, Says Guy Who Wants to Do Flash
"No momentum," on a
Flash movie, is all we get out of Daniel Roven, the producer. Momentum. A movie about a super-speed guy. Is that a joke? I am unamused, sir.
Dr. Strange, Runaways May Really Get Movies

Runaways and Dr. Strange are likely, says Kevin Feige. I would love to see them just try to top the 1978
Dr. Dr. Strange TV movie with Lucille Bluth from
Arrested Development.
Green Lantern Movie Writer Says Green Lantern Movie Will Be A "Fan's Take"
Oh, lordy! A fan's take? I would prefer it be a professional moviemaker's take. Marc Guggenheim is creator of the TV show
Eli Stone and he's writing the
Green Lantern movie.
He says progress is at a "pretty good clip." In other words, it will only take them a few more months to decide they can't do it.
Sam Raimi Don't Know Nothin' About Spider-Man 4
Sam Raimi said said the story hasn't been written yet but he wants to direct it. He doesn't know if the Curt Connors actor guy will be The Lizard, and he doesn't know if Kirsten Dunst will be in it. What do these people do all day?
