Ironman 2 sure has been making quite a few news for a movie that's slated to come out two years from now.

For example: the fact that Terrence Howard and the moviemakers have fallen out due to "financial disagreement". That's really sad, because Howard was a lot of fun as James "Rhodey" Rhodes in Ironman. Now, the character is of great importance to Tony Stark and to the Ironman franchise overall due to him being Tony's bestfriend and the superhero (well, most of the time) War Machine. So the rumor mill has is that Don Cheadle would be replacing Howard in the next movie.


I know Don Cheadle is like one of the guys in the Ocean's 11-13 series as Basher, and I also know him as "the guy I sometimes watch in HBO when all channels suck and of course, the last option is to watch HBO". He can inject some fun into his character, which I seriously hope would be present in Rhodey given how (I think) Ironman II is going to be soooo emo (Tony can't handle the pressure of saving the world. Tony gets drunk--he is an alcoholic. Darkdarkdark movie borderlining on an NC16 rating. Maybe Pepper would die or something to shock him into a proper hero again :O Meanwhile, Rhodey has to keep Tony from falling apart--when he isn't sleeping with his endless bevvy of beautiful women. Oh, maybe Nick Fury can bash him up to knock some sense into him too. Yay).

Oh yeah, I was so preoccupied with Taylor Kitsch and Gambit that I forgot another official good looking guy is actually playing in the Wolverine movie (well apart from Hugh Jackman--everyone knows him already--and will.i.am; wait. He is NOT hot, can?) Ryan Reynolds' been pursuing the Deadpool role for many years beforehand (or so Wikipedia says), and well, he's got it.

So Reynolds is a really pretty boy. Deadpool? Deadpool's an insane, insane, thoroughly insane--and have I mentioned insane?--mercenary with a mouth, and a skill to boot. Basically, someone pays Deadpool an insane amount of money to kill you, and you're dead. And you're probably have to endure some lame lines from him before you die. Unless you can buy him off like what Gambit did when he was tagged for dead ("I'll give you three times what he paid you--a million bucks? Here's a cheque"--or something like that). His name is Wade Wilson--he's part of the same Weapon X Project that Wolverine was as he wanted to be cured of his terminal cancer. But that left him scarred, aka ugly. So some fanboys were saying that such a pretty boy like Ryan Reynolds shouldn't play an ugly, but awesome character like Deadpool.

Then again, there's always computer imaging-slash-special effects! Remember Aaron Eckhart and Harvey Dent/Two-Face in the Dark Knight? Well, lots of girls would have to go through the heartbreak of seeing someone so cute disfigured on screen again, but at least Wade Wilson's transformation to Deadpool wouldn't be so tragic/dramatic. And Deadpool isn't a villain--so as to say. He's sometimes hero, sometimes adversary--he just saved the world from a Skrull Invasion a few weeks ago (in typical Deadpool way--mygosh is that series hilarious or what)! Secondly, Deadpool wears a mask most of the time, so like... yeah.

I still can't believe that there hasn't been any official trailer released whatsoever (and I'm not talking about the bootlegged ones from Comic-Con) despite the movie being released in seven months. I thought that for such a huge movie, they'd be marketing it like crazy. I mean, I watched the trailer for Wall-E like more than a year before its release?

Hey, five more days to exams! Has anyone noticed how our reading days seem to have diminished significantly since four years ago? Just sayin'.
