Marvel Movie News: Leaked Avengers Script and first Lizard Look

As of yesterday, and after some deliberation with one of my sources, the rumors that Samuel L. Jackson's copy of the script for the upcoming Disney/Marvel film The Avengers have been confirmed, at least for now. Not only that, but now, if the rumors are true, there is talk that production on the film will be halted so that the script can be revised as to not upset fans. Now to me this would seem crazy for any other studio to do, but this whole thing, the Marvel movie universe is redefining how a franchise is done. It is what legions of fans, both of the comics and movies have been waiting expectedly for, and I one for hope that if there are rewrites, that the movie with its possible revised script will not disappoint.

On to the next topic, here are two photos of upcoming Spider-Man reboot actor Rhys Ifans in makeup as the Lizard. Now for those who have no idea who this villain is, let me give you the quick backstory. Doctor Curtis Conners was a scientist trying to create a formula, using the DNA of lizards in order to regrow lost limbs, the way certain reptiles can with their tails. Testing the formula on himself, Dr. Conners was transformed into the monstrous beast who came to be known as the Lizard. Over the years he has made numerous reappearance's, and one can only hope that someday the good Doctor will be cured of his evil alter ego. The studio has been working very hard to keep what the villains look will be like under wraps, but with the release of these two photos, we can expect a full reveal at the San Diego Comic-Con in July. The films have helped to show, that with the Goblins, Dr. Oc and the Sandman, that the colorful costumes of the comic books can be translated onto the big screen. The Lizards should be even easier, seeing as how all it would need is makeup and prosthetics.

Whatever may happen, and whatever may come of all this, I cannot wait for these two movies, and I am of course extremely excited for all the hero films coming out this summer. Get those tickets ordered and those costumes ready folks, cause this is gonna be spectacular!
