Marvel has hired a new writer, Chris McCoy, for the upcoming film Guardians of the Galaxy. McCoy has been asked to rewrite the originally proposed script written by Nicole Perlman.

Guardians of the Galaxy will be the first non-sequel movie released by Marvel since The Avengers earlier this year, and is expected to feature Groot, Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Rocket Raccoon. 

It is also worth noting that the Guardians do come into quite a bit of contact with Thanos in the comics, which has resulted in some speculation that the clip of Thanos at the end of The Avengers movie may not have been intended for the sequel to said film, but may in fact be intended to hint at the primary villain in Guardians of the Galaxy.  

The anticipated release date for the film is August 1, 2014. 

Christopher Eccleston (G.I. Joe and Doctor Who) has been confirmed to be playing the role of Malekith The Accursed of Svartalfheim in the upcoming film Thor:The Dark World.

The film is being directed by Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) and will star Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander, Zachery Levi and Ray Stevenson. 

Marvel has announced that Thor:The Dark World will hit theaters November 8, 2013.

New description of the film:

When Anna is cursed by her estranged sister, the cold-hearted Snow Queen, Anna’s only hope of reversing the curse is to survive a perilous but thrilling journey across an icy and unforgiving landscape. Joined by a rugged, thrill-seeking outdoorsman, his one-antlered reindeer and a hapless snowman, Anna must race against time, conquer the elements and battle an army of menacing snowmen if she ever hopes to melt her frozen heart.
