‘Magic Mike’ Trailer: Channing Tatum’s Got Mad Stripping Skills
Apr 19th
If you’re a frequent listener of the Screen Rant Underground Podcast , then you know that Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper dramedy Magic Mike is a project that first piqued our interest a while back (that joke writes itself).

Magic Mike was largely inspired by star Channing Tatum’s own experiences as a professional stripper , during his pre-Hollywood days.

Kevin Feige Teases ‘Different’ ‘Iron Man 3′; Jackson Talks ‘SHIELD’ Movie
Apr 18th
It will be interesting to see how exactly the Marvel movie universe changes in the aftermath of The Avengers . The next film in line following Joss Whedon’s superhero extravaganza, Iron Man 3 already looks to set a precedent by tackling a famous comic book storyline that not only breaks away from the narrative format of previous Marvel Studio efforts – but would also force the Tony Stark character (Robert Downey Jr.) to literally evolve. Marvel President Kevin Feige is already hyping the idea that the third Iron Man movie will shake things up, more than fans might expect (take that boast with a grain of salt).
