Oscar winner J.K. Simmons who perfectly portrayed
Peter Parker’s loud-mouthed boss,
J. Jonah Jameson in
Sam Raimi’s three
Spider-Man films has jumped
Marvel’s ship over to
DC. According to a report from
The Hollywood Reporter,
Simmons will play
Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon in
Justice League, following in the footsteps of
Gary Oldman, who played the character in
Christopher Nolan’s
The Dark Knight Trilogy. No further details on Simmons’ character were revealed.
Justice League Part 1 begins filming this
April 11th.
Not a lot is known about the upcoming
Marvel/Sony produced Spider-Man reboot other than the casting of
Tom Holland as the web-slinger,
Marisa Tomei as his Aunt May with
Cop Car director
Jon Watts directing. Now,
Deadline is reporting that
Disney channel actress and singer
Zendaya has landed a “key role” after quietly testing for the part with a number of young actresses. Her character’s name ‘
Michelle’ is the only detail released thus far with fans wondering if it’s a ‘red herring’ and she is actually cast as a well known character from Spider-Man’s source material. The rebooted Spider-Man film will open in theatres July 7th, 2017.

Though
Deadpool finally gave up the
No 1 spot at the box office this weekend, that doesn’t stop it from smashing another record in the books. The past weekend’s numbers were good enough to make it the third R-rated film ever to cross the $
300 million mark in domestic box office. Only
The Passion of the Christ and
American Sniper hold the No 1 and 2 spot, respectively. Deadpool has also nabbed the No 3 spot of highest grossing origin movies in the superhero genre.
STX Entertainment has unveiled a new trailer for their first-person action movie:
Hardcore Henry. The film, which is written and directed by
Ilya Naishuller, is shot entirely in the first person
point of view giving you, the audience member, a unique perspective during the film.
Hardcore Henry finds
Henry being brought back to life by his dead wife played by
Haley Bennett, with zero memories and a new cyborg body. Shortly thereafter, his wife is kidnapped by a telekinetic megalomaniac and Henry must battle an army of mercenaries to get her back. Hardcore Henry opens in theatres on
April 8th.
Current Bond star
Daniel Craig has been pretty vocal about continuing on as the iconic
British spy, making it clear that if he did return, “it would only be for the money.” Though he’s contracted to return for Bond 25, that hasn’t stopped the ‘British
Bookies’ from naming a few front-runners to replace him.
Idris Elba,
Tom Hardy and
Michael Fassbender have all been mentioned in the past but now we have a new name to add to the list.
THR reports that the bookies have changed up their order adding
Tom Hiddleston to the top of the list alongside other rumored Bond favorite, Idris Elba. Hiddleston’s turn as a secret agent in the
BBC series
The Night Manager, is credited for the move.
20th Century Fox’s
The Predator movie has the fans buzzing ever since director
Shane Black unveiled a promo poster for the movie, with Fox dating the movie for March 2, 2018. Since this is a sequel to the original movie, many have wondered if
Arnold Schwarzenegger would ever return for the movie. Speaking with
The Arnold Fans website,
Schwarzenegger revealed he has a lunch meeting set with Shane Black, where the two will presumably discuss a possible role in upcoming movie. The Predator is written by
The Monster Squad’s
Fred Dekker with Shane Black, who will also direct.
