Henry Cavill Wants to Play Superman For As Long As It Takes (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18785:]]

We get more video featuring Henry Cavill talking Superman as the actor was once again interviewed at the BAFTAs.

This time Henry Cavill is asked how many more times will he want to play Superman.

Cavill’s response comes as good news for fans of his Man of Steel.

“As many as it takes,” Cavill said. “I love the character. I love working with Warner Bros. and what they are doing with it. So fingers crossed I’ll be able to tell the story for many, many years to come.”

Cavill is also asked whether his favorite British past time is having afternoon tea or throwing one back at at pub. Cavill responds with the latter.

“I am always… rather… to throw one back at a pub,” Cavill said with a grin.

Speaking of the pub, when Henry Cavill was in Michigan filming Batman Vs. Superman, the actor ran into some trouble at a local bar as an apparent argument ensued with a group of Michigan natives calling themselves the “Deaf Wolfpack.” Apparently Cavill misunderstood a fan who happened to be deaf, which led to the fan’s friends getting a bit rowdy.

Watch the video below with Henry Cavill talking Superman, and Cavill previously stated Batman Vs. Superman will make cinematic history as well.

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Ethan Hawke Says Scott Derrickson Is Right Choice For Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18784:]]

Ethan Hawke was said to be a potential candidate to play Doctor Strange, and while he won’t get the chance to play the Sorcerer Supreme for Marvel, the actor did previously work with director Scott Derrickson on the hit horror movie Sinister.

While participating in a recent Reddit QnA, Ethan Hawke was asked about Doctor Strange and offered the following, stating it’s in good hands with Derrickson.

Doctor Strange sounds particularly interesting to me, not just because of the quality of the comic, but because of the man Marvel hired at the helm. Scott Derricksen directed me in SINISTER, and there’s a lot of lousy horror movies made. But Scott Derricksen really understands the genre. And the math and geometry involved in telling a great ghost story. And I feel certain that he will make an excellent Doctor Strange film if they give him the reins.

But really, I don’t covet any roles as much as I covet relationships with talented people. People often ask me “Do I prefer theater or film, or writing or acting?” And what I really prefer is being in a room with gifted, passionate people. Because it’s contagious. It helps you be in touch with the best part of yourself.

And sometimes, that doesn’t mean really successful, big-shot types. Sometimes it means being in the room with students, and young people whose idealism is undaunted.

I like listening to Laurelai Linklater and Ellar Coltrane talk about movies (my costars in BOYHOOD), and art, cuz they talk straight from their heart, with no secret agenda.

Regarding whether or not Ethan Hawke was going to play Doctor Strange, he recently stated on a podcast that he would be open to playing a similar character:

“If people are going put up with somebody like me, they want to make sure you’re going put asses in seats, and there’s a lot of actors that are going to to put more asses in seats than me. There’s a tremendous amount of salesmanship that’s now really important to a studio like that. It’s a tremendous amount of time in your life where you’re working, and you’re not acting. They’re making movies at a high rate, and they’re making them successfully. I’m totally open to doing something like that.”

Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

Tom Hardy Left Suicide Squad Because Of The Script

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18750:]]

When Warner Bros. officially announced the cast of the Suicide Squad movie maybe red flags should have gone up as how is the movie going to find the time to accommodate all the actors with enough screentime?

Well, that seems to be exactly the problem as recently it became known that Tom Hardy had dropped out of Suicide Squad.

While scheduling issues were cited as the reason, now it’s being said that Tom Hardy wasn’t happy with the script and screentime.

According to Latino Review, when Tom Hardy signed on to Suicide Squad, he had yet to read the script.

However, once the full cast officially came together, it’s said the script was tweaked to given Will Smith and Jared Leto more screentime.

So when Tom Hardy finally got ahold of the finished script and saw what he perceived as not enough screentime for his character, Rick Flagg, he bailed.

With Tom Hardy out of the picture, Jake Gyllenhall had said to be a potential replacement.

Suicide Squad has an August 6, 2016 release directed by David Ayer starring Jared Leto as The Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Jesse Eisenberg is rumored to follow his Batman vs. Superman debut as Lex Luthor.

Looks Like Jesse Eisenberg Is Bald For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18783:]]

More evidence has surfaced that Jesse Eisenberg will be bald for Batman Vs. Superman.

Fandango debuted a first look at Jesse Eisenberg’s next movie that follows Batman Vs. Superman with Now You See Me 2.

Jesse Eisenberg can be seen pictured with a buzz cut/short hair, which may signfy his hair is growing back from playing Lex Luthor.

Different rumors have surfaced in regards to Jesse Eisenberg’s hair in Batman Vs. Superman, with one rumor even stating he may have longer curly hair.

Perhaps at one point in the movie it is longer, but we are guessing we’ll also see Jesse Eisenberg with the classic bald look of Lex Luthor.

Kristen Stewart Wants Captain America 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18782:]]

Kristen Stewart, known for playing Bella in the Twilight movies, has stated she is interested in possibly returning to big-budget franchise movies.

While speaking with Yahoo, Stewart noted that her role as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman could be a jumping off point for a superhero role.

“I’m sure I could get on board with Captain America, you know what I mean?… It would just have to be the right thing,” she said.

Stewart continued with mention it’s not like she is trying to avoiding big movies.

“I never expected Twilight to even be a series, and we didn’t even know we were going to do a sequel,” Stewart offered. “So I would love another big movie to come along. It’s definitely not something I’m avoiding.”

With Captain America 3 set to be a really big movie as it pits the Marvel heroes against one another, maybe Kristin Stewart could fit in somewhere? Stewart doesn’t specifically state Captain America again, but further notes how she likes her movies to be on a larger scale.

“I was 17 when we started the whole Twilight series. I was so excited to do a teen movie. Everything I had done was like kind of heavy and I was really into it. I was just enthralled by it, and that’s what I need,” she said. “I want to do big movies. You get to play with more stuff and there’s so much more at your disposal. You get to do it on a larger scale, you get to connect with more people. I am all about that. I just want to do it for the right reasons.”

Any ideas which Marvel hero or villain Kristen Stewart could play?

“Captain America: Civil War” has a May 6, 2016 release starring Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Anthony Mackie as Falcon and Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier.

Fox May Revive X-Files With David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18781:]]

It’s learned that Fox is considering bringing back X-Files with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

The good news comes from Fox Television Group chairman Gary Newman who confirmed talks are underway at the recent Television Critics Association winter press tour.

“It’s been reported, and it’s true, that we’ve had some conversations about [reviving] X-Files” [ideally with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson],” Newman said, reports TV Line. “But I have nothing that we can announce at this time.”

X-Files ran for 9 seasons with 202 episodes and two movies, which kicked off back in 1993.

There has also been talk of an X-Files 3 for quite a while, but series creator, Chris Carter, said it was up to Fox.

Gillian Anderson is currently involved with NBC’s Hannibal, and David Duchovny has a show coming out on NBC as well with Aquarius, so it remains to be seen whether they would be involved in any new X-Files.

Both actors have said at one time or another they would like more X-Files movies, but could Fox be considering a new X-Files TV series?

Batman Vs. Superman Will be Cinematic History Says Henry Cavill (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18779:]]

Henry Cavill recently appeared at the British equivalent of the Oscars, with the BAFTAs, where the Man of Steel talked a bit about Batman vs. Superman and Ben Affleck.

In the following interview, which looks to be ripped from the Daily Mail, Cavill notes he hasn’t kept up much with what has been going on in the world due to being in Michigan for Batman Vs. Superman.

“To be honest, I’ve been kind of living in the dark, “Cavill said. “I’ve been in the wilds of Michigan shooting Batman v. Superman, and I have not been up to date on anything, so I’m slowly slowly catching up on stuff.

“It’s Zack Snyder. So it’s going to be a visual spectacle,” Cavill responded when asked what fans can expect from Batman Vs. Superman. “And it’s cinematic history. We are doing Batman. We are doing Superman. And it’s all happening at the same time. Fingers crossed, it turns out to be as exciting as I think it is.”

Cavill is also asked about giving advice to Ben Affleck.

“We are talking about Ben Affleck, here. I don’t need to give him any advice,” Cavill said. “The guy is a legend. The guy does his own thing. He’s great. He’s fantastic.”

So who wins between Batman and Superman?

“I can’t tell you that.”

No Patrick Stewart & Ian McKellen For X-Men: Apocalypse

It’s learned the next X-Men movie will be without Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

Larry King recently interviewed Patrick Stewart and asked the first Professor X if he was going to be in X-Men: Apocalypse, which comes out in 2016.

“No,” Stewart responded. “Nor is Sir Ian McKellen, either. I was learning quite a lot more about it last night, and it is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance.”

Yahoo got a first peek at the interview with Stewart from Larry King, with their article also noting that Patrick Stewart hasn’t rules out being a part of an X-Men spinoff film like Deadpool or Gambit.

X-Men: Apocalypse has a May 7, 2016 release directed by Bryan Singer starring Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique, Michael Fassbender as Magneto and James McAvoy as Charles Xavier.

Constantine Season 2 Not Guaranteed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18775:]]

We get some disappointing news coming out of the recent Television Critics Association press tour in regards to the future of Constantine on NBC.

IGN spoke with a couple of executives who seem to be making excuses why the show may not get a second season.

While it’s obvious that Constantine was hurt by the late Friday night time slot, NBC tries to say the reason for the show’s lack of success – at least for live viewings – is due to too many comic book TV series or the fact that Constantine may not be as well known as a Batman or Flash.

“We wish the show had done better live,” Jennifer Salke, president of NBC said. “It has a big viewership after [it airs] in all kinds of ways and it has a younger audience, but the live number is challenging. It hasn’t come out in the way we wanted it to, but we love the show. I think it’s fair to say we’re still talking about it.”

“We got on the bandwagon of these shows based on comic books and maybe there are too many of them,” added Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC. “It’s a popular series of comics, but it’s not The Flash, it’s not Batman. So maybe it suffers a little bit there. But as Jen said, it’s a show we really like. We love Matt Ryan, who’s the star of it. I think we did right by the fans who didn’t like the film that was made of it. The future is still up in the air for that show.”

Of course the execs are going to try and find blame elsewhere, and not on themselves for the decision of the Friday night time slot, but there may be a ray of hope in that Constantine still has a chance of a second season.

When Constantine returns tonight, the series will be featured at an earlier time starting at 8pm ET. It seems from what is stated above, if Constantine doesn’t improve in ratings for the new time slot, it will more than likely be cancelled.

For what it’s worth, the Gotham “Batman” series airs on Mondays and Flash airs Tuesdays – both at 8pm.

It was also said at one time that Fox was considering getting a new director, but Fox denied the notion.

Black Widow Confirmed For Captain America 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18749:]]

Captain America: Civil War is fast becoming the next Avengers movie.

In addition to the recent confirmation that Anthony Mackie will reprise as Falcon, now Scarlett Johansson has been confirmed as Black Widow for Captain America 3.

The film will also star Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Captain America 3 follows the Marvel Comics storyline of hero vs. hero due to the government wanting to register the identities of the super heroes. It’s unknown how close the Marvel Studios movie will follow the comic book story, as obviously all the Avengers identities are just about known.

Anthony Russo offered the following in the video interview below:

“Captain America 3 is going to be called Captain America: Civil War, and it’s going to star Chris Evans. Scarlett Johansson will be back. Winter Soldier will be back, and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man will also be joining us in the next film.”

Leaked Marvel Avengers Infinity War Spider-Man Announcement Trailer?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:18748:]]

Yesterday saw a rumor hit that stated Spider-Man would be featured in The Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1.

Then Sony publicly came out and stated the information was an “old rumor” with “no validity whatsoever.”

Now we’ve just been tipped off about a potential Marvel Avengers Infinity War Spider-Man announcement teaser.

We received an e-mail from a reader with a link to the following video on vidme.

Included with the video was the following:

Rough Cut Avengers/SpiderMan Announcemnt[sic] Video 23.11.2014

I’m a Sony employee that was laid off during the infamous Sony Hack that took place several months ago. Before I was let go I found an extremely early rough cut video sent to us by Marvel Studios for a join Avengers/Spider-Man announcement. Doesn’t show much beside stock footage and music from The Avengers (2012) with the title Avengers: Infinity War inside a bunch of spider-webs. Take the video how ever you like. Was filmed from my iPhone.

Obviously the video could be fake, and recently there has been the fake Batman Vs. Superman “Enter The Knight” trailer image in addition to the leaked image from the Fantastic Four movie.

The video below teases Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth, with the Avengers Infinity War logo shown wrapped in webbing.
