Talking about the armored avenger, we get some spoilers! And they are indeed very spoilery! They come from the children’s storybook about the movie.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier began filming! Apparently Black Widow will get a big role:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier will pick-up where Marvel’s The Avengers left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

We also get a first picture and a confirmation that Hayley Atwell will return as Peggy Carter (flashbacks?) and Emily VanCamp as Agent 13, which is the alias of Sharon Carter.

Rumor has it than an Ant-Man sequence may be in the end credits of Iron Man 3. That’s because Edgar Wright (director of Ant-Man) tweeted that he directed one shot in a summer movie. And then got coy about it when some people tweeted back. Huh, I thought the after credit scene would tie Iron Man 3 to Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course both could happen, or maybe this “one shot” is just a small scene. But we haven’t got any actor in the role for Ant-Man yet!

On the DC side of things, we have a new synopsis and a TV spot for Man of Steel!

Some lucky bastards got to watch a ten-minute preview of Elysium. And if the rest of the movie is as awesome as the description makes it seem, we sure are getting into a fun ride!

Here are the first pictures of 300: Rise of an Empire, and apparently while this sequel is “tied visually to the original”, considering many things happen on boats “there is a whole different choreography of fighting and war”.

Bates Motel gets renewed for a 10-episode second season! Yay!

With superb writing and exceptional acting, led by the critically acclaimed performances of Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, we’re incredibly excited to see where Carlton and Kerry take Norma and Norman Bates next.

Mikhail Gorvachev is the new popular dude to do a biopic for. First, we have Mike Newell doing a biopic called Reykjavik, about the 1986 peace summit between the Soviet leader and Ronald Reagan, with Christoph Waltz and Michael Douglas as the main characters, respectively… and as much as I love Waltz, I am a tad baffled about that casting choice. The other one is about Gorbachev’s time as president through the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and it’s being developed by Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks for HBO Films. John Shiban (of X-Files and Breaking Bad fame) is doing the script.
