A new rumour from Yahoo indicates that Marvel’s upcoming Thor: Ragnarok and Captain Marvel films could film in Australia.
Disney reportedly had a great experience filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in parts of Australia earlier this year and want to produce more movies there, meaning not only Marvel movies but other Disney movies as well.
However, for now Disney seems to have their eyes set on filming parts of Thor: Ragnarok and Captain Marvel in the land down under.
As Disney already has experience filming in Australia it would save them money on location scouting.
Well, if there’s one thing for certain- if this news is true Chris Hemsworth will be very happy.
Thor: Ragnarok opens on November 3rd 2017. On the other hand, Captain Marvel is released November 2nd, 2018.

Michael Shannon recently joked that he had to wear flipper hands on the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (as he says in the quote below he was never actually on the set even though he appeared in the Comic Con trailer). However, he did confirm that he did voice work for one of 2016’s biggest films, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Shannon is quoted as saying the following:
“I wasn’t there. It’s a really awkward situation—I’m in the trailer for a movie that I didn’t work on. I went over and did some voice-over stuff because it’s like that ghost thing. But I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that. I get very nervous.”
In Man of Steel, Jor-El (played by Russell Crowe) appeared as an A.I.-like entity. This could be similar to the “ghost thing” Mr. Shannon is alluding to.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is officially released March 25th, 2016.

The world was shocked by the news last Sunday that horror legend Wes Craven had passed away. The creator of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and director of the Scream films had touched (and scared magnificently) many people with his work over the years.
Many fans of his work around the years have paid their tribute to the horror legend. But, without much time to prepare, MTV’s Scream series will pay tribute to Wes in their season finale. Executive producer Jill Blotevogel said the following:
“It feels pretty natural to honour him. The Scream finale would be nothing, it wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Wes. I’m sure there will be a moment-of-silence element to it. I’m not sure exactly what form it will take yet.”

Our thoughts are with Wes’ family and friends in this difficult time.

The release of the next James Bond film Spectre looms closer every day. However, ahead of the film we have some potentially bad news to report…
Daniel Craig has indicated that Spectre could end up being his last James Bond film. Mr. Craig said the following to Esquire:
“I really don’t know. Honestly. I’m not trying to be coy. At the moment I can’t even conceive it. At this moment, no. I have a life and I’ve got to get on with it a bit. But we’ll see.”
It had been rumoured before that Craig was contracted to do at least one more Bond film after Spectre, but whether or not he decides to do another will be up to him.
Daniel Craig has been playing the role of James Bond for nearly ten years, starting with Casino Royale (2006) and following that with Quantum of Solace (2008) and Skyfall (2012). Spectre will mark his fourth appearance as the character (the same number as his predecessor Pierce Brosnan did in his run).
Thoughts on what Daniel said? Would you be disappointed to see him leave the role of James Bond?

Actor Tony Todd has been cast as the voice of Zoom in the second season of The Flash.
Todd, best-known as the title character in the Candyman film series among many other roles, will first appear as the voice of Zoom in the second episode of the season which is titled- “The Flash of Two Worlds”.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg had the following to say on the casting:
“Last year, with the Reverse-Flash, we just modulated Tom Cavanagh’s voice, and this year we wanted to do something a little bit different. Part of the mystery of the season is who or what is underneath the Zoom outfit, and so we wanted to do something like James Earl Jones as Darth Vader — this iconic voice coming out of this mask. Last year, we thought of the Reverse-Flash as a speed warrior; this year, Zoom is like a speed demon, and no one does demon-voice better than Tony Todd.”
The comparison to Darth Vader is very interesting as this confirms that Tony is definitely only the voice of the character. Another actor will be playing the character in the suit (much like Dave Prowse was in the Darth Vader suit).
For anyone unfamiliar with the character of Zoom, Kreisberg said the following to describe the character:
“For us, the best villains are the ones who don’t have megalomaniacal ‘I want to rule the world’ motivations. Last year, the Reverse-Flash had a very simple goal which was, ‘I just want to go home, and if people need to die or cities need to get wasted for me to get that, so be it.’ And Zoom has a very similar, personal goal this season- simple and easy to understand, and very primal. And just as with Wells last year, Zoom doesn’t care who gets hurt or what gets destroyed in the service of him getting his goal.”
“We have to service the entire audience, both the fans and the non-fans, and I think we’ve shown up until this point a great deal of respect and reverence for the source material, so that we always feel like we’re fulfilling the comic book fans’ expectations while also not spoon-feeding them stuff directly from the comics. So the story of Zoom and who and what he is- hopefully comic book fans will be happy because we’ve come up with a clever way to spin the tale, but that also makes it exciting for the people who aren’t as familiar with the comics and are just enjoying the show on its own terms.”
The Flash Season 2 premiers on October 6th.

Readers of the Civil War comic series know how significant Tony Stark and Peter Parker’s relationship was, with Spider-Man starting off on Iron Man’s side in the conflict. As a result of joining The Avengers, there were numerous perks for Peter (including an apartment in Avengers Tower and learning under Tony Stark). However, the most notable contribution Stark did for Peter was to give him a new armoured suit.
While we may (or may not) see the suit adapted into the Captain America: Civil War movie, a new rumour has been released on what we could see Tony Stark give to Peter Parker instead.
Potential spoilers for Captain America: Civil War follow so this is your SPOILER alert warning.
……………………………..
The rumour suggests that instead of building an armoured suit, Tony Stark will design the web shooters that Spider-Man uses.
“When we first meet young Spider-Man, Peter Parker will be a hero using only things a teenager has access to while Stark has the capability of making more “hero ready” suits (he has a line about making the Avengers “look cool” in Age of Ultron).”
Captain America: Civil War is released May 6th, 2016.
