FIREFLY: THE ANIMATED SERIESWhile it may only be a rumor, the prospect of a "Firefly" animated series is certainly exciting and it's sure to continue to make the rounds in the next few weeks. At New York Comic Con 2012 during the "Firefly" reunion panel, The AV Club quotes star Nathan Fillion as teasing the possibility of an animated version of the beloved science fiction series.

Further, The New York Post reports actor Sean Maher (Simon Tam) is actually aware of a project in the works.

"I know somebody who is actually trying to get that done, who has approached Joss [Whedon, the creator] about it," Maher told the New York Post. "He used to work with Guillermo del Toro."

Obviously, "Firefly" fans have been burned before -- and Whedon looks to be concentrating on his Marvel Cinematic Universe work at the moment -- but the possibility exists, and maybe that's enough for now.

ANT-MANSpinoff Online reports that Marvel Studios has finally given Edgar Wright's "Ant-Man" film a release date of November 6, 2015. This is the first real news of Wright's "Ant-Man" since the test footage shown at CCI 2012.
