X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

The latest rumor from Comic Book Movie is that Logan's getting a little Irish comopany in a cameo. Their scooper wrote, "I'm an actor in Australia and found out through a friend that Banshee will have a featured cameo in the 'Wolverine' movie. This part will be non-speaking and played by a young actor (25 max)." Fascinating!

Also getting in on the rumormongering, Cinema Blend claims that a second sequel is already in the works with Cyber as the main villain.

Starring Hugh Jackman, directed by Gavin Hood, release date May 9, 2009.

SIN CITY 2

Did you love Mickey Rourke as Marv? Well, tough cookies, cha cha, because a story at Superhero Hype indicates he's not interested in a sequel. "No, I'm not interested in that right now. That's not a reality right now. It's pissing in the wind," Rourke said. "There's different factions going different directions there. I don't know. That's three hours of make up and I'm claustrophobic, so I'm going to have to work something out."

Directed and written by Frank Miller, no release date announced.

SMALLVILLE
