Marvel Studios have released the complete seven piece concept art for The Avengers — when assembled, they form one big banner for the highly anticipated movie.

This morning, after more than a decade of speculation, Capcom, in collaboration with Marvel Entertainment, announced the third installment into the Marvel vs. Capcom fighting series, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. This installment is said to feature more than 30 characters, along with, a 3-on-3 tag team fighting system.

Much like previous titles developed by Capcom, the sequel takes advantage of an “advanced version” of their MT Framework engine. “Each version of MT Framework gets better than the previous version,” said producer Ryota Niitsuma. “A lot of key staff is involved with this game and they wanted to use the engine they are more comfortable with.”

Though the details aren’t very explicit, Marvel did revealed that the game will feature a “stronger” storyline. “It’s important that game’s have strong stories for Marvel,” said Marvel license manager Chis Baker. “With fighting games it’s not as essential as an action game or role playing game but we are very much insisting there be some cohesive kind of story for this game.”

The title is expected to hit both PS3 and 360 in Spring 2011.

The casting for the upcoming film adapation of Thor seems to be coming along well. When paying a vist to MTV Studios, movie director Kenneth Branagh was asked about the casting of the title.

“We’re down to the final stages of it,” Branagh said. “The reason one has to be properly diplomatic, is simply that some talented peopled have been patient, kind, creative and really committed to working with us in this process.”

He added that, “My reluctance to say anything about it is simply out of respect for people who have been extremely respectful of us. That said, I think we are extremely close and I hope to announce a decision sooner rather than later.”

Marvel Studios are targeting for a May 20, 2011 release for the film.

Despite an inglorious first episode, Marvel Studios was willing to move forward with development of the second Iron-Man movie video game, Iron Man 2: The Video Game, as it is know for now.

The filming of the movie hasn’t begun yet, but with a title like that SEGA wasn’t willing to turn it down. The game is being developed at the publishers San Francisco-based development studio, Secret Level.

The release is planned for something around the movies release in 2010, I can’t believe that I’m saying that, were does the time go?

“We are thrilled to build on the success of the Iron Man phenomenon and work with Marvel and Paramount on another epic project,” says Simon Jeffery, President of SEGA of America, Inc. “SEGA and Marvel are collaborating closely to ensure we deliver an authentic Iron Man experience.”
