31 Comic-Con: Stan Lee, Joker cameos in works

More mopping up of movie news and deals coming out of Comic-Con:

* Plenty of sites have (or had) some bootleg photos or shaky cell-phone footage of the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" trailer shown at Comic-Con. Also, star and producer Hugh Jackman confirmed that there's a cameo in the film for Stan Lee.

* Fox appears to be moving forward with its idea for a junior X-Men pic. Eagle-eyed bloggers spotting production listings for a film titled "X-Men: First Class" and the web address www.xmenfirstclass.com redirects to the Fox movies site.

* There's been no word on a sequel to "Superman Returns" in a long time, but Bryan Singer apparently still likes comicbook properties and has signed on to produce "Freedom Formula," based on the upcoming comic from Radical Publishing.

* Action star Jason Statham tells the L.A. Times he'd love to play Daredevil if they ever made another movie.

* It didn't get a lot of coverage, but BET showed the first footage from its animated "Black Panther" series and got a pretty good reaction. You can take a look at the trailer over at Newsarama.

* "Torchwood" star John Barrowman said during a Comic-Con panel that he's always liked Captain America, would love to play the character and had even discussed the possibility with his agents and managers. That doesn't mean it's going to happen, but it's an interesting idea.
