Zack Snyder discusses the movie ’s glide slope to Superman , starting with its traditional take on the Superman costume ( give or take the darker blue tones and the absence of red legal brief , but I feel like that ’s venial ):
When they examine to dress him up , put him in jeans and a T - shirt or a leather jacket with an S on it , I go : ‘ What ? Guys , it ’s O.K. It ’s Superman . He ’s the king daddy . You should all be submit down to him . ’ [ Man of Steel will ] abide by the S … He ’s a really cool fabulous contradiction . He ’s incredibly conversant Americana and alien , exotic , bizarroland , but beautifully woven together . All of us , in a weird way , are that same kind of contradiction — no one ’s that simple . If you keep an eye on him back logically and endeavor to understand him you end up at a scifi solution . ”
And manufacturer Christopher Nolan acknowledges the irony that Snyder is making a movie about the original superhero after make a movie adaptation of the ultimate superhero deconstructionism in Watchmen :
It ’s dry but it ’s a very productive irony . You ’re mete out with a filmmaker who has deconstructed this mythology and now has to redo it . That ’s a engrossing challenge for him … [ Zack has an ] innate aptitude for dealing with superheroes as real characters . That was what a young feeler to Superman required . He understands the power of iconic image , but he also sympathize the people behind them . ”

There ’s been a bunch of rumors locomote around over the past week that Black Panther will look in the Avengers continuation , potentially as a young squad member alongside the already reassert Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver . Various reportsfrom the Cleveland circle of Captain America : The Winter Soldier suggest that this is fundamentally just common knowledge among the picture ’s bunch , which seems kind of unlikely but is n’t totally impossible . There was also a late radio interview with the Chairman of Cape Town Film Studios in which said chairman indicated that Marvel Studios want to shoot at least portions of The Avengers 2 in the South African metropolis .
This has in turn been used as evidence that the next film will sport Black Panther and Wakanda , although it should be pointed out that , even if all this is true , Cape Town may not be present any part of Africa — after all , Chronicle was shot entirely in and around Cape Town for budgetary understanding , and that was set in Seattle . Oh , and there was also a random report a week or so ago that Black Panther was on some briefly glimpsed yield storage-battery grid of Marvel Studios ’s approaching projects , with a suppose release appointment of 2015 . Make of all this what you will , although I ’d probably say that if you take heed three insubstantial , farfetched hearsay all about the same affair , that still does n’t bestow up to a undivided credible rumor . So yeah , grains of salt all around . [ Comic Book Movie ]
Toby Jones offers this vague confidential information about his returning character , Dr. Armin Zola :
“ All I can say about it is that I was proud of to be lend back . I think I might be — because you ’d be intimate better than I do — but Zola finds a path to defeat time and you wo n’t be disappointed with the way that ’s been treat in the moving-picture show , that ’s what I would say . ”

Glenn Morshower recently discover at the Texas Frightmare Weekend that he would not be returning to transformer 4 , despite the fact that Paramount include him in a recent official press release on the movie ’s roll . Morshower ’s announcement , in which he cited scheduling conflicts as the reason for his absence , actually seems to predate Paramount ’s most recent update , so it ’s possible it ’s since been purpose . We will of course bring in you all the latest , up - to - the - minute updates on this most of import of interrogative , unless we completely block to do so like the time we call we ’d do the same with Josh Duhamel ’s cast .

The wonderful Bernard Cribbins says he actually get through the production team about a possible return in the 50th anniversary special , but he say it ’s not to be :
“ No , I ’m not . I rang Cardiff [ where the Doctor Who production unit of measurement is establish ] a little while ago and tell , ‘ Am I going to be involved ? ’ and they said , ‘ Well no . We ’re shoot at the present moment and maybe something afterwards on but at the moment , no . ’ I would love to get back into it . It would be prissy . ”
The most interesting part of that is “ maybe something later on , ” which is in all probability just the production squad being civilised — or Cribbins softening their reply — but it could conceivably be a hint that brief cameos from Doctor Who luminaries are still on the cards . true , that ’s a rather , shall we say optimistic interpretation , and Cribbins himself greet the inherent logistical challenges :
“ I conceive it ’s impossible . They ca n’t even intend of let in everybody who ’s hold part in Doctor Who from the beginning up until now . There ’d be hundreds and hundreds , they ’d all get twelve and a one-half seconds each [ express joy ] . ”

AMC CEO Josh Sapan says the show will run and take to the woods until it ’s no longer profitable , and possibly even a bit beyond that :
“ We hope that zombies live forever and we ’ve just lead off to find out what the post - apocalyptical earth is like , so that we ’ll be sit here at the Barclays conference in 2022 discussing the fact that walk Dead is not over . ”
Co - creator Adam Horowitz says the show will still research Storybrooke in the third season , even though the season two end with almost every main part leaving town :
“ Some people got on a ship , some stayed behind . And what happened to those who stayed behind is just as important as what ’s happening to those on the ship . What ’s going to happen to [ Belle ] ? Who ’s left with her ? Who might she meet in Storybrooke ? ” Horowitz poses . “ Those are all things that we intend to explore . ”

Star Stephen Amell says there ’s still a long way to go before Oliver can claim the name Green Arrow :
There ’s a rationality why we do n’t call [ Oliver ] Arrow , Green Arrow yet — because he ’s not that person . He was a revengeful , stubborn shortsighted individual this year , and he has to maturate , because his direction did n’t work . He had moments of success but ultimately failed , so he ’s suffer to become a better version of himself . ”
He also suggests that Tommy ’s death will comprise a serious challenge to Oliver and Laurel ’s recently rekindle Latinian language , which , yeah , it really ought to :
“ I would think that a mammoth cautiousness sword lily has been thrown up , for him having any type of meaningful kinship with anybody . If Sara was a big Cuban sandwich between [ Laurel ] and Oliver , I can only opine what would pass off because of Tommy . ”
On the premise that there ’s really no logical way that this could mention to the Justice League , I take in you to figure out what Roy Harper thespian Colton Haynes means by the next program line :
“ A few of the most important DC characters are going to be coming to ‘ Arrow . ’ And quite possibly working in a team together . ”

Showrunner Julie Plec says it still has n’t been completely decided how Claire Holt ’s Rebekah will divide her time between The Vampire Diaries and The Originals :
“ We do have the power to use Rebekah on either show in the beginning . We will see when we start writing how much of her we ’ll see before she heads off to New Orleans . When we get back , we might see [ Matt and Rebekah ] still on their trip . When Matt gets back to Mystic Falls , his whole world will have changed . I ca n’t hold back to see what come out of that adventure and how he re - adapts to life at Mystic Grill . ”
She also says nobody in Mystic Falls will know that Bonnie sacrificed her lifespan to work Jeremy back to life :
“ Nobody knows the truth . There ’s going to be some explaining to do and it ’s not necessarily give way to make his takings to his old aliveness very easy . ”
Scream 4 actress Emma Roberts has reportedly fall in the stamp for American Horror Story ’s witch - centrical third season , in which she will play “ a self - involve party girl by the name of Madison . ” Her costars let in returning instrumentalist Jessica Lange , Sarah Paulson , Lily Rabe , Frances Conroy , and Taissa Farmiga plus new additions Kathy Bates , Angela Bassett , Patti LuPone , and Gabourey Sidibe .
