Spider-Man to appear in Avengers 2?

This image from the set of Avengers 2, has been setting social media on fire.
The man trying his best to not be seen, looks an awful lot like Spider-Man.
It’s difficult to make out from the picture, but the mask is almost identical to the one Andrew Garfield wears in the Amazing Spider-Man 2, even the eye holes are in the right place. Of course, a red glove and mask do not a spider-man costume make, and It’s possible that I’m getting 5 from 2+2. But the fanboy in me really wants it to be so.
Marvel and Sony do have a great working relationship, Marvel have never held the toy licensing from Sony, like they have with Fox and they even printed a movie tie-in range of comics to bridge the gap between The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
I predict that if any studio were to cross franchises, it would be Marvel and Sony.

For comparison the image below was taken between takes on the Amazing Spider-Man.

Star Wars plot details?

A rumoured basic plot outline for episode VII has been doing the rounds online.
Do not read on if you’re planning to see episode VII completely fresh.

John Boyega and Daisy Ridley play two friends who find a severed hand holding a lightsabre.
They recognise the object as an old relic of the Jedi and set off to return it to the proper people. On the way, they meet Han and Chewie who recognise that the lightsabre belongs to Luke, whom they haven’t seen for thirty years.
The foursome then set off looking for the fallen Jedi master.
Meanwhile, a weapon capable of destroying an entire solar system is being developed on an ice planet.

I would certainly say that that plot sounds very plausible, it completely blows out the speculation that Ridley is a young Solo.

Christina Chong cast in Star Wars

The very reliable Latino Review are reporting that British actress Christina Chong has been cast in Star Wars Episode VII.

She has appeared in numerous UK TV shows including, Fresh Meat, The Wrong Mans and also made an appearance in the Kick-Ass films. She’s perhaps best known to Sci-Fi fans for her role as Lorna Bucket Doctor Who’s “A Good Man Goes to War”.
She also owns a restaurant.
Her role in Star Wars has not yet been revealed.

Doctor Who scripts leak online

Five scripts for the upcoming new series of Doctor Who have leaked online.

BBC Worldwide have issued a statement asking fans not to post episode spoilers:
“We would like to make a plea to anyone who might have any of this material and spoilers associated with it not to share it with a wider audience so that everyone can enjoy the show as it should be seen when it launches.

“We know only too well that Doctor Who fans are the best in the world and we thank them for their help with this and their continued loyalty.”

The leaked scripts are thought to have originated from a BBC Worldwide office in Latin America.

The series – which marks Peter Capaldi’s first full episode as the Doctor will begin on August 23rd BBC One on 23 August.

This isn’t the first time an incident like this has happened. Last year some fans in America received the series 7 blu ray two weeks before the final episode aired.

Kevin Smith visits the Star Wars set

It’s well documented that Kevin Smith is a die hard Star Wars fan, he has referenced the franchise in nearly all of his films.
Smith is currently in the UK, touring two of his many podcasts and was invited along to the set by JJ Abrams.
Due to the NDA (non disclosure agreement) that he had to sign, he couldn’t reveal any details of the film. But he did put out this picture on his Instagram account with the following text.

“Visited JJ and his EP VII set. I signed the NDA so all I can share are this old Bantha-Tracks subscriber’s tears and snotty nose of joy. The Force is WITH this movie. Holy Sith…”

Smith mentioned on the most recent episode of Hollywood babble-on, which was record before the visit:

“I got an Email about a month ago from a dude who was like ‘Hey Kev, we haven’t talked in a while. Been thinking about you.
We just started shooting in the desert, man. We’re heading over to London, if you’re gonna be in London, then blow me up and roll up on the set, man’.
signed JJ Abrams.

So I hit him back and I was like, ‘I am gonna be in fucking England. I’m coming over to do some shows with my friend Ralph’.

So he was like ‘oh great, then you’ve gotta come stop by the set’.

So, I was just like, wow. How easy was this? I didn’t have to ask, he hit me up out of nowhere and shit.
And I’m sitting there going, I don’t know him that well. So I started second guessing it and I was like you know what, I’ve gotta see if this is legit. So I wrote him back an email and I was like
‘I just checked in with your office, so I’m all set to visit. But just in case, I wanna put this out there just in case you hit the wrong Kevin in your address book, this is Kevin Smith. The Clerks guy’
and he wrote back the perfect email, just a two letter response ‘oh fuck’.”

Andy Serkis talks Star Wars

We’ve long assumed that Andy Serkis would play a mo-caped character in Star Wars: Episode VII.
In a recent interview with Sci-Fi Now, the man himself said that his company, The Imaginarium, will be doing all of the mo-cap work for the film. Although he doesn’t confirm if he is playing a mo-cap character.

He said:
“It’s extraordinary. I grew up with Star Wars and was a massive fan of the original films. I never imagined in a million years that I’d be engaging with this. It’s just come about so organically.
“J.J. Abrams and I met, and we just had this incredible kind of vibe between us. He said, ‘You’d fit really well in this universe,’ and I said, ‘I think I probably could.’ We’re working very closely, as I say, in two ways: the Imaginarium is providing all of the performance characters, and I myself am playing a character in it.
“I’m thrilled, deeply excited. Sitting at that read-through the other day was just extraordinary. It was an amazing event; being with the original cast was just incredible. I just think the script is so wonderful, and both the old and the newbies in the cast are just so thrilled and excited to get together.”

I’m excited by his casting, Serkis is the pioneer of motion capture acting.
