The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Marvel at this for the hour is coming~

THURSDAY

So here’s the new featurette for Da Vinci’s Demons. Yep, I’m here for this. Although, he seems to have a lot of sex with women for an apparently gay man who didn’t like sex that much anyway.

Talking about series I will totally watch, here’s a couple of promos and a teaser for Hannibal~

George Lucas practically confirms Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher & Harrison Ford for Star Wars: Episode 7.

We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison—or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on.’ Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.

J.J. Abrams compares his Star Trek villains:

[Nero] was just a raging, vengeful lunatic. All he wanted to do was destroy Vulcan, Earth and the Federation…He had backstory but was kind of irrational. The beauty of Benedict’s [John Harrison] is that he’s completely rational. He’s someone that you can have conversations with. You couldn’t sit down and talk to Nero – he’d bite your head off!

We also have spoilers! Which include Captain Kirk in bed with two cat women. Damn, Kirk. And we’ll get a new trailer with G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Martin Freeman gets interviewed by Graham Norton in Comic Relief’s Big Chat, where they talk about how The Hobbit experience didn’t change him, how Sherlock Series Three will start filming soon… and Graham also shows him and the other guests increseably raccy Sherlock fanart~

FRIDAY

Here’s a long-ass interview with Joss Whedon, where he talks a bit about DC Cinematic Universe:

The Marvel properties with the exception of Batman who has often been described as the Marvel character in the DC universe are much easier to translate to a modern audience. Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern are so far above us and their powers are amorphous and that makes it 10 times harder.

We finally have a date for new Marvel Animations series! Avengers Assemble will debut on July 7th, but there will be a special one-hour preview on May 26th. Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. will premiere on August 11th. Will they be able to close the whole in my heart after the cancellation of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? They are welcome to try!

Sam Raimi finally sees The Amazing Spider-Man after whining of not wanting to watch it. And you know what? He liked it!

I thought, ‘why am I carrying around this baggage?’ Of course the next Spider-Man story should be told, and [Marc Webb] did a wonderful job telling that. I loved the movie, and I’m looking forward like a fan to the next instalment. I love the comic book, and now I don’t feel bound, and I’m really glad somebody’s remaking it again.

So, some lucky bastards got to watch the first 30 minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness at London’s Waterloo IMAX. Producer Bryan Burk talks about it and also with Bad Robot involvement with Star Wars. And Radio Times continues their love affair with Benedict Cumberbatch, waxing poetic about his few minutes in said preview and calling him “utterly mesmerising”.

And that’s it for the week. Before I go, Tom Hiddleston presented the winner of ChildLine and BAFTA’s Create and Make competition: Losing the Plot. Here it is:
