"He's not as prominent as Nicolas Cage's Big Daddy in the original," says Wadlow, "but I can't imagine anyone better. It's Jim motherfuckin' Carrey, right? I wrote the script, but two of the best lines he improvised: 'There's a dog on your balls' and 'Try to have fun, right? Otherwise, what's the point?' There was no warning, he just said'em." I think it's safe to say that most fans are worried about Christopher Mintz-Plasse playing a vile role, like The Mother Fucker. How can you blame us? Most of us still think of him as that lovable geek, McLovin, from Superbad. But producer Matthew Vaughn is feeling confident after audiences shared their favorable opinion of Chris' performance.

Though it seems the interview was conducted before the writer-director began boasting the 2015 sequel's new characters, Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver, Joss Whedon teases the next bad guy to villainize Earth's mightiest heroes. "I turned in an outline for Avengers 2 before we started [Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D]," Joss said after being asked about his busy schedule. "So I'm writing that script. I feel very strongly about the story, so as soon as the pilot is fully wrapped up, I get to go full-tilt on that, and I'm very excited." Explaining how he'll avoid usual sequel pit-falls, where the story becomes all about the villain, Whedon says, "Yes, that always makes me cranky.

The Drive helmer is attached to direct the series, while well-known James Bond collaborators Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were brought on to write the project. "We are just writing it still," Refn confirmed when asked for an update. "I kind of went back to the original comic, and really began to close my eyes and fantasize about women in outer space and it looked pretty good." As for whether he has anyone in mind to replace Jane Fonda, he said: "No, I haven’t started casting yet."

Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions.

Among the many memorable movie scores he composed was the 1978 Superman film, so what does he think of this new installment starring the legendary character (which will be composed by Hans Zimmer)? "I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it will be wonderful. I don't know if they've used any of the original music or not; it's a Warner Bros. film, in which case, they certainly have the right to do so (having also made the earlier 'Superman' movies). I hope it will be successful, and I look forward to seeing it." However, he admits that watching this new film will be be "bittersweet", not entirely because of the new music, but because of Christopher Reeve's excellent performance as Superman.

Some purists were a little annoyed by this, but let's be honest, the more female characters in Tolkien's testosterone fueled Middle Earth the better -- and it doesn't hurt that she's being played by someone the caliber of Lilly. Speaking to Total Film the Canadian actress spoke a little about "young" Tauriel, and from the sounds of things we'll be in for a much grittier she-elf than either Cate Blanchett's Galadriel or Liv Tyler's Arwen. “She’s a very, very young elf, she’s only 600 years old, unlike Legolas who’s like, 1,900 years old and Thranduil who’s about 3,000 years old. She doesn’t have quite the wisdom and pose that those two boys do; she’s a little more... gritty. A little more spontaneous, passionate perhaps.

"Storm is a key part of "X-Men," "Uncanny X-Force" -- edited by the second biggest Storm fan in the world, Daniel Ketchum -- and "Wolverine and the X-Men," so those are the places for Storm character stuff.

Previously, The Daily SuperHero reported a city government official had said, "There will be more car action in Captain America than all past Marvel Studios movies combined." Along with another report saying that the Shoreway will be shut down to film an extensive car action scene. After digging and digging for more detailed information on these reports about the Shoreway, it can now be confirmed—by a local business owner who was given a letter from the Cap 2 production company—there will indeed be a car action sequence.

(Taylor laughs) But, yeah, they clearly saw something they liked in Game Of Thrones. And from my end it’s been hugely useful to have that experience, in terms of imagery and tone. That was my first foray into greenscreen work and CGI and stuff. Nothing compared to this, but at least it was a bit of a warm-up.” While the first film that Kenneth Branagh ("Jack Ryan") was successful at the box office and with critics, Taylor believes there is room for improvement.
