In the most random news of the day (most likely) – Hugh Jackman revealed on Live With Kelly And Michael that Jerry Seinfeld played a part in him leaving the role of the Wolverine. I was having a chat with him about a year ago at his birthday, and he was talking about why he finished the end of the series and how it was riding high. And he said he just always had this feeling, a belief, that you never know when either your energy or the audience’s energy is going to dip over into, ‘Please go!’ He said…

With Hugh Jackman stepping away from the Wolverine role, it was only a matter of time before other actors started lobbying for the part. Actor Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) made his stance known in a new interview with Screen Rant: “I am a huge X-Men fan! My feeling about that is… I don’t know if I’m quite grizzly enough. My facial hair is still very thin and patchy. I feel someone who plays Wolverine potentially needs testosterone in abundance. Yeah, I’d love to have a go at it, but I don’t know. [Laughs] I don’t know. I was…

Reports surfaced yesterday that Jason Statham was in negotiations with Marvel to play Bullseye on Season 2 of Daredevil. Well, apparently, the fact that the information got leaked was the reason Statham ended up passing on the role – according to BloodyDisgusting: “He was legitimately in heavy negotiations for the role and the leak killed it,” the report said. “Perhaps his agent saw the positive uproar and instantly upped the actor’s asking fee?  Perhaps the studio spotted the same excited reaction and preemptively killed the deal out of fear of Statham’s management going for more money?  Who knows.  The bottom line is that…

As all of us have been speculating, Marvel is considering bringing certain heroes to their new Netflix universe which was established with Daredevil. There are a lot of characters that they could bring into the mix with their Phase II slate of shows (we even did a list of what characters that deserve the next shot at getting a show) but a recent report states that they’re just toying with certain ideas at this point: Marvel is planning a Phase II that will include Defenders, however this won’t take place until 2017. As of right now, the plan is for…

According to Latino Review, Jason Statham is set to play Bullseye on Season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil. Here’s what the report said: According to a trusted source at Marvel’s new TV production offices, Jason Statham – star of The Transporter film franchise, this year’s Furious 7, and this summer’s action comedy Spy – is being pursued to play Bullseye in season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix series. It is not yet confirmed as reps would not give me a call back. Per the Marvel Database: A mercenary of mystery, nothing was really known about the man called Bullseye. Once, he was captured and interrogated in a highly…

Director James Gunn recently confirmed on Facebook that Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 will introduce Star-Lord’s father. He also confirmed that despite speculation, The Hulk will not make an appearance in the sequel: “They [The Guardians] will not team up with Hulk,” Gunn said. Here’s hoping it can happen. Things change, right? According to Marvel Cinematic Universe wiki: Doctor Robert Bruce Banner is a renowned scientist in the fields of Biochemistry, Nuclear Physics, and Gamma Radiation. He is one of the scientists who tried to recreate the Super Soldier Serum which originated Captain America in World War II, but when…

EW.com has unveiled the new “ghost face” mask for the upcoming MTV Show ‘Scream’. While some were expecting something similar to the films, executive producer Jaime Paglia was quick to point out that this isn’t the same old scream. “The [original] mask is so iconic. If you were to have that mask in a television series, but you weren’t following any of the characters [from the original], I believe that would be misleading the audience,” she said. She’s right. Take a look at the mask below: According to Scream Wiki: Ghostface was named after a rubber Halloween mask inspired by the…

Samuel L. Jackson has revealed to Collider that Nick Fury won’t be appearing in Captain America: Civil War. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to appear in the film, there are just contract issues: “It’s an amazing amount of fun. I finally met [comics writer] Mark [Millar], last year, when I was doing Kingsman, ‘cause he was on set one day, and I finally got a chance to thank him for making Nick Fury black and changing the whole dynamic. It’s really great to be the connective tissue between so many different characters in so many different films, that brings…

Tron 3, which would have had stars Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund reprising their roles from Tron: Legacy, has officially been cancelled, according to THR. Tron: Legacy was a financial hit for Disney but didn’t make nearly as much money as they had anticipated. That meant that any further films in the Tron franchise were a bit iffy as to whether or not Disney wanted to risk it again. As of the past few weeks, it seemed they did as Tron 3 was supposedly officially in production. But as quickly as it was announced, it was cancelled. In this writer’s…

As you would expect, people have began to speculate that eventually, the Guardians Of The Galaxy are going to meet The Avengers. In a recent sit down with IGN, however, Chris Pratt sort of wants people to pump the brakes on that one: “That’s speculation. I haven’t heard that,” Pratt said. “No, no one’s ever discussed it with me.” He added: “I think like the universe itself it’s best to expand outward,” he says. “I don’t personally – and it’s not up to me, I’ll do whatever they want me to do – I don’t want to see the Guardians…
