Tony Stark is brilliant and talented, saving the Marvel Universe repeatedly as Iron Man, and as part of the Avengers. I Am Iron Man.
Marvel Entertainment and Funko have recently joined forces in order to launch a brand new CG animated shorts web series that features Funko’s extremely cute…
Over the past few days, the news of Robert Downey Jr somehow confirming Iron Man 4 at Ellen Degeneres’ prodding was plastered all over the Internet. It’s not speculation or an insider leak but the actual actor who has defined the movie version of Tony Stark saying that yes, there’s an Iron Man 4. Unfortunately for fans of Downey’s Tony Stark, the actor has since gone back on his word.
In a recent appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Downey Jr. stated that he won’t be involved in the project after all. When asked by Letterman, Downey jr. not only said that there was no script in place, but that he had no intention of donning the suit for a fourth solo movie.
If you’re looking for a new home video to add to your marathon schedule when December rolls around, Marvel’s got a new Blu-Ray that would make a great lead-in, especially if you’re planning to fill that schedule with comic book movies and specials: Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United, which is scheduled to come out on Blu-Ray this coming December 3, 2013
Marvel’s Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United is a new action-packed CG animated adventure that brings together two of Marvel’s most popular heroes, first against each other, and then together against a threat that no hero can defeat on his own.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel what it’s like to be Tony Stark, Marvel will give you a small glimpse as they have just released a new app for the iOS platform that mimics Stark’s artificially intelligent computer system, JARVIS.
The new JARVIS app will offer a one of a kind, interactive experience on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod, which lets you interact with the app using your own voice. The app will let you create customized alarms that will wake you up in the morning, download ringtones, check the weather, post to Facebook, and more. You can even sync the app to your Blu-Ray copy of Iron Man 3 in order to unlock hidden files and suits embedded throughout the disc, and the best feature of all – the app will let you control the Blu-Ray disc with your voice.

Phineas And Ferb: Mission Marvel is a special 1-hour episode which airs tonight (Friday, August 16), at 8 PM ET on Disney Channel. This is the first crossover between the Phineas and Ferb characters and the Marvel Superheroes. If you want to know why Captain America is missing, and Spiderman is on the team, it all has to do with Phineas and Ferb creators Dan Povenmire and Swampy Marsh playing favorites. They like Spiderman. Captain America… not so much. I think we all agree Spidey has more opportunity for hilarious one-liners than Cap.
According to Dan Povenmire, the challenge for this crossover, or any crossover for that matter, is pleasing fans of both camps. He has talked about it in interviews leading up to tonight’s debut on Disney Channel. Doing something Marvel fans may think is cheesy or violates the characters would make fans upset. It had to work for both sides. We had a chance to see the episode on the Disney Channel iPad app, and we think it works perfectly.
After the international success of Marvel’s live action movie adaptation of the Iron Man franchise, PGS Entertainment have decided to ride the momentum and announce new sales for the animated series Iron Man: Armored Adventures. Produced by Marvel Entertainment, Method Animation, and DQe, the second season of Iron Man: Armored Adventures has just been sold to new broadcasters in the US, Europe, Middle East, and Latin America.
The Marvel movies seem to be the best thing that ever happened to the comic book giant, as not only did 2012’s The Avengers snag the record for highest debut of all time ($207.4 million), the honor of being the 2nd highest debut of all time was also taken by another Marvel film, the recently released Iron Man 3.
Iron Man 3 proved its box office pull last weekend by managing to open to a whopping $175.3 million in North America, while also hitting impressive numbers in foreign territories (managing a $175.9 million box office pull, bringing its total cume to $680.1 million). The film even managed to get big numbers in China, which has always been a tough nut to crack for Hollywood films, to the tune of $63.5 million, making it the top opening film of all time in the country.
Over the week, Disney/Marvel’s Iron Man 3 managed to break The Avengers’ record in Europe during its first week. The third installment in the Iron Man movie franchise managed to bring in over $195.2 million from 42 markets, beating 2012’s The Avengers, which had a $185.1 million opening week. In comparison, Iron Man 2 had a $100 million international opening in 2010.
Don’t think that Hollywood’s Iron Man 3 is the only thing that is active on the teaser trailer side of things right now, as the original anime movie Iron Man: Rise of Technovore has also released a brand spanking new trailer:
It seems that the Iron Man 3 movie that you’ll get to see when it arrives on DVD will be slightly different depending on which country you bought the movie from, as it has been reported that the Chinese version of the movie will include content not available in the North American version.
If you’re a fan of Tony Stark and his super duper high tech suit of armor but getting tired of all the updates on the 3rd live action movie (it happens sometimes, you don’t have to turn your fanboy badge in), Sony has something else to tide you over while you let your Robert Downey Jr. appreciation batteries recharge, as the studio is planning to release the Iron Man: Rise of Technovore anime on Blu Ray and DVD this coming April 16, 2013.
