Marvel's Avi Arad Speaks on Upcoming Films

Empire Online has a new feature interview up with Marvel Films president, Avi Arad where he speaks about pretty much every film currently in development. Of particular interest is his mention of Dawn of the Dead director, Zak Snyder and Shaun of the Dead director, Edgar Wright working with Marvel in the future. This is the first I've heard about this, and I'm interested in what they would do, considering Marvel's first attempt at horror (Man-Thing, don't ask) was a complete failure and went straight to the Sci-Fi Channel. He also drops a few intriguing tidbits on X3 and Spider-man 3. And he says that Black Widow will have a harder edge similar to the Punisher, which is surprising considering the recent press release said that all future Mavel Films will be PG or PG-13. I'd be really happy to find out this wasn't the case, since there's material even in Spider-man comics that wouldn't make it into a PG-13 movie.

x3 should be out may 2006. they need to start working fast if they want to make that release date though. i don't even think they have a finalized script yet.
