So what happened to Farveau? Was he directing originally? But this is good news for sure.

Mark Ruffalo May Be Confirmed as The Hulk in Time for Marvel?s Comic-Con Panel

After Edward Norton was dumped as Hulk for the upcoming Avengers movie (in an ignominious fashion, no less), speculation swirled that Mark Ruffalo might be taking his place. We?ve now learned that negotiations for the role are expected to wrap up today, and that Ruffalo may fly out from the east coast tonight in time for the Marvel Studios panel tomorrow, in order to help make the casting announcement. :unsure:

According to The Wrap, one of the ?sticking points? is that Marvel wants Ruffalo to commit to four to six Marvel films, a tall order for any actor. Marvel also hasn?t been known to compensate their actors particularly well. Whatever the case, we should find out within 24 hours whether Ruffalo will have to start rigorously bulking up in for the sake of his art.

Did Joss just confirm Nathan Fillion as AntMan?

While Nathan Fillion has been connected to the role of Ant-Man, for several months now, things may now be official.

At the Joss Whedon panel in Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic Con 2010, fan-favorite actor Nathan Fillion crashed the party in disguise. As a fan in a trench coat, fake mustache, and shades Fillion asks Whedon who his favorite actor was.

After Whedon's answer "Nathan Fillion" of course, he reveals himself. And soon Joss Whedon tells Fillion that he wants him for the 'Ant-Man' role in the forthcoming Avengers film. Basically confirming the actor & Ant-Man on the roster.

Also, when Fillion's name was tossed in with the role several months ago, Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria was included to portray Ant-Man's wife "Wasp". If true, Eva's involvement should be announced in Marvel's big SDCC presentation in two days.

It's also confirmed that after The Avengers, Ant-Man will get his own solo film, directed by Edgar Wright. And while the film has a second draft in the works, Nathan Fillion is presumably confirmed to appear lead in the film as well.

With Joss Whedon confirmed for the director?s chair, The Avengers stars Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Mark Ruffalo apparently, and Now Nathan Fillion.

While production is expected to begin early next year, according to sources, Marvel is currently scouting film locations in New York City, with the Queens desired. And Earth?s Mightiest Heroes are set to unite on the big screen May 4, 2012.

It was all a ruse!

Nathan Fillion is NOT Ant-Man in The Avengers

Some confusion arises from today's panel

There seems to be some confusion that Joss Whedon announced Nathan Fillion will be Ant-Man in The Avengers at a Comic-Con panel today. While we couldn't attend, Marvel has confirmed to us that he was joking.

"Nathan Fillion is Ant-Man," he said, adding, "unfortunately Ant-Man isn't really in the movie."

I have to say that the news that Joss Whedon will be directing The Avengers movie is a bit disapointing... I'm really not a fan at all, and seeing how he's mucked up the Marvel Universe in the books, I shudder to think of what he'll do to this movie... I really hope it works out, but I think they would have been better off going with someone else. In fact, I thought Favreau was already slated to direct it... HE would have done a good job. That's who Marvel should have had do The Avengers...

Pretty sure Favreau never wanted to direct it, actually. He just had ideas and wanted to help in some way.

I don't care for Whedon's work. It's fun for nerds because it's nerdy stuff, but none of it is quality IMO.

Yeah, I agree. It's not quality at all. And a lot of the "nerds" complain about his stuff too because he doesn't care about what's "true to the character"... He does whatever he wants...

Jeremy Renner Confirmed as Hawkeye in "The Avengers"

OTRC caught up with director Joss Whedon (Serenity) at the San Diego Comic-Con to talk about the team that is being put together for Marvel's "The Avengers" movie.

"I'm writing and directing it," he said. "There will be some avenging that takes place during the film and that's about all I can tell you. I think it's well-known that Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) is joining us as Hawkeye, which is so exciting for me and the rest of the cast."

Whedon went on say that he will kill Iron Man in the first minutes of "The Avengers," adding that he's obviously joking. But it is that kind of humor that's confusing many journalists.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
