The casting for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was completed with additional cast members; Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as Rhino, and Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro is always a busy man. Marketing for his movie Pacific Rim is currently underway, and there’s already reports on another one of his projects. He’s set to co-direct a stop-motion adaptation of Gris Grimly’s version of Pinocchio, with Mark Gustafson.

Since watching The Vampire Diaries, I’ve always joked — by which I mean being serious — that Matthew Davis should play Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Just look at the guy. He has the looks for both parts, plus the dry wit and charisma too.
Empire released a dashing photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Seriously. Just look at that man. Dashing. There’s also the claws, which look good this time around, unlike in X-Men Origins: Wolverine — which we won’t speak of anymore.
Fox’s Marvel consultant Mark Millar revealed some information on Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. In the last X-Men film — no, I don’t mean the surprisingly good First Class — we were teased with sentinels, which were prominent in the comics and the cartoons. In the new movie, we will finally see proper sentinels, and many. Which shouldn’t come as too much a surprise since they’re used heavily in the comic book story arc.
