Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming to Comic-Con 2010 The San Diego Comic-Con 2010 is just around the corner and, while the official schedule hasn't been released yet, new details are starting to trickle in as to what films will be present at the convention.
A New York Times article reveals that Warner Bros. will be showcasing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I at Comic-Con this year, along with the superhero film Green Lantern and Zack Snyder's upcoming film, Sucker Punch!. The article also revealed that Lionsgate will be bringing its upcoming summer action film The Expendables and Paramount/DreamWorks Animation will be bringing their new animated film MegaMind to the convention.
It was also said that Tron Legacy will be there as well with new scenes from the film on display on July 22. Green Lantern was released June 17th, 2011 and stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney, Mike Doyle. Jonah Nolan and David S. Goyer are the Frontrunners to Direct SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL. When it was announced that The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan would “godfather” the Superman franchise at home studio Warner Bros., a rumor sprung up that brother Jonah Nolan may assume directorial duties on Superman: Man of Steel.
While not completely unreasonable due to the nepotism factor and Jonah’s solid screenwriting resume (The Dark Knight, the potential Spielberg flick Interstellar), would the studio really be willing to hand the reins of one of the most valuable comic book franchises on the planet to a man with zero directing experience? Really Well, it appears that Warner Bros. is giving the notion some serious consideration. The latest rumor suggests that David S. Goyer — the man whose name graces the Man of Steel script — is also in the mix, but the younger Nolan is the lead contender to direct Superman.

The director of “Captain America: The First Avenger,” the 2011 summer blockbuster that will coincide with the character’s 70th anniversary, says the screen version of the hero will be true to his roots — up to a certain point.
“We’re sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers,” said Joe Johnston, whose past directing credits include “Jurassic Park III“ and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.” He’s a guy that wants to serve his country, but he’s not a flag-waver. We’re reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was.” None of that is surprising, of course — Christopher Nolan pared away significant parts of the Batman mythology (such as Robin the Boy Wonder and any super-powered villains) that didn’t fit his grim take on Gotham City, while Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. manufactured a version of Iron Man that is hard-wired for far more humor than the old-school Marvel Comics character.
Still, Captain America, with his name and history, is a sensitive case.
