He promised he'd be back. Arnold Schwarzenegger has become a full-time actor once again -- ever since his days as governor of California came to an end, he's been looking into several acting gigs, many of which require him to reprise iconic roles. The action star recently spoke to Metro UK (via ComingSoon) about a few notable projects he's currently involved in, such as Terminator 5 and the Twins sequel. When asked about the status of the former, he replied:
I have all the respect in the world for Academy Award nominee Glenn Close. She's one of the finest actresses of her generation, even though Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren ended up taking all the glory. My admiration for Close has never been stronger, as she's about to prove just how versatile she truly is. Today, the actress has been cast as a member of the Nova Corps in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ever since executive producer and creator Dan Harmon left, Community hasn't been the same. I could care less about Chevy Chase leaving since he didn't even want to be there in the first place (some people are glad he's gone) -- but the show was Dan Harmon's baby, and its quality and ratings have been decreasing alarmingly, thus NBC has asked Harmon to come back and finish what he started, as Community's fifth season might be its last.
Is there still hope for an Avengers/X-Men crossover? The Wolverine star Hugh Jackman certainly seems thrilled about the idea. Nevertheless, it's mere speculation at this point, but who knows what the future holds for both franchises? Only time will tell. That being said, Screen Rant asked Jackman about the possibility of a crossover and he said the following:
Bryan Singer really seems to be getting a lot of attention these days. The noted director recently announced on Twitter that he has cast Evan Peters as Quicksilver in X-Men: Days of Future Past, which somewhat thwarted Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon's plans to include the speedster in The Avengers 2. What's Singer up to when he's not causing a stir? Oh, he's just teasing his newest installment, same as always. The filmmaker spoke to SFX and an explained some of his thoughts regarding his latest film.
Trekkies are going crazy about Star Trek Into Darkness. The film is a critical and commercial ($184 million worldwide during the first couple weeks of release) success, and it's all thanks to its amazing, talented cast and director J.J. Abrams' hard work. Alas, the filmmaker is unlikely to be involved in the production of a third film in the rebooted franchise -- he will be with his hands full for the next couple of years as he works on Star Wars: Episode VII. So, the question on everyone's mind is who'd replace Abrams if Star Trek 3 were to be made?
Everyone's excited about the prospect of a Justice League film, and why wouldn't they be? However, DC Comics and Warner Bros. are having a hard time putting together what fans need and deserve from a movie based around the Justice League of America. Still, that hasn't stopped Man of Steel star Henry Cavill from being open about his desire to star in a World's Finest (Superman & Batman) movie.
It's a sad, sad day for Marvel fans. Remember how we were all speculating a while back about the Marvel Cinematic Universe merging with other franchises? Well, Spider-Man may still join the MCU in the near future but I'm afraid the same cannot be said about the X-Men. Evan Peters (American Horror Story) has been recently cast as Quicksilver in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. Yes, that's the same Quicksilver that is (or was?) supposed to be featured in The Avengers 2. Unless Peters is allowed to reprise his role in the latter, the chances of merging both universes are quite slim.
Robert Kirkman started writing The Walking Dead back in 2003. The comic book series is still ongoing, and the aforementioned writer has stated several times that the story is not even close to coming to an end. Why would it? TWD is one of Image Comics' best-selling titles, and it could go on for decades without getting old. Can the same be said about the AMC's The Walking Dead? Thus far, the show has shown high, strong numbers in ratings and DVD sales -- its third season has proven to be its most successful one.
