Comic book icon Stan Lee has revealed that he is scheduled to film three of his marque cameo appearances in the Marvel movies during one short trip very soon.
However, Lee doesn’t know what movies the appearances are for and what his scenes will involve.
Stan stated:
“I’m going to…somewhere on the East Coast, Deleware or somewhere — where they’re shooting three cameos at one time,” Lee said, before adding, “I’ve got to be there either next week or the week after, and I’m going to do three cameos for three different movies. Now, I don’t know what the movies are. I don’t know what the cameos are, but I know I’ll damn well be there.”
Lee’s reveal came during his panel at MegaCon. You can watch a clip of his panel which includes the reveal below:
It’s speculated that the cameos Lee will be shooting are for Doctor Strange and Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2. Infinity War will be filming back to back which makes this plausible.
Thoughts on this news? Which three films do you think Stan Lee is shooting these cameos for?
Last Sunday, The Big Bang Theory cast members Kunal Nayyar (Raj Koothrappali) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz) attended MCM Comic Con in London. During their time at the event they took part in a panel.
During the panel Nayyar was asked if he believed a feature film of The Big Bang Theory was possible. He stated:
“It is a very difficult format to do for a movie because we shoot in front of a live studio audience with four cameras,” Nayyar explained, before expanding further, “So unless the movie was a two and half hour sitcom version of The Big Bang Theory I don’t think we could ever actually do a movie. We could do it on stage. I’ll tell you what, we’ll come here and we’ll recreate the movie of The Big Bang Theory for you guys next year.”
You can view a clip of his answer below:
A significant number of TV shows have had their time on the big screen as well. Sometimes this venture has been successful but recent examples yield mixed results. Recent examples include Jackass: The Movie (2002), Serenity (2005), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Sex and the City (2008), Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), Sex and the City 2 (2010) and Entourage (2015).
The tenth season of The Big Bang Theory will air Monday’s on CBS and will begin airing later in the year.
Thoughts on what Kunal said? Would you like to see The Big Bang Theory on the big screen?

Jeff Bridges (Iron Man, The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit) has been cast in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015).
The poster Bridges used to reveal his casting states:
“The only Golden Circle I want vexing me is the one my glass leaves behind on the table.”
The death of Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold) on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was met with disappointment by many viewers of the show. The character was a fan-favourite and one of the highlights was his budding friendship/relationship with Sara Lance/White Canary (played by Caity Lotz).
Speaking to Comicbook.com at the CW upfronts in New York City recently, Lotz revealed that she was also hoping to further explore the relationship. She stated:
“I was hoping to explore it more, for sure. It was very heart-breaking the way that it happened, which of course is good, too. I’ve been traveling and meeting a lot of fans, and everybody was so excited about the ‘Captain Canary’ stuff, so I hated the fact that it’s like, ‘well we’re gonna give it to you then take it away!’ It’s a cool dynamic together, and I love working with Wentworth, so I’m bummed.”
However, Lotz did tease that fans haven’t seen the last of Captain Cold on the show, saying:
“But we haven’t seen the last of him.”
It’s unknown if she means more brief appearances like in the season finale or larger roles again.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will begin airing its second season later in the year on The CW.
Thoughts on what Caity said? Were you a fan of Captain Cold and White Canary’s dynamic on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow?
The concept art includes a first look at Hela (who will be played by Cate Blanchett in the film).
A description of Hela’s character in the comics can be read below:
“Hela is the Asgardian Goddess of Death, born in Jotunheim. In Marvel Comics, Hela is the daughter of Loki, who we know is sitting on the throne of Asgard in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was Odin who appointed her the Goddess of Death, giving her rulership over the dead in the realms of Hel and Niffleheim.”
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 3rd, 2017.

Cate Blanchett (The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit trilogies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Cinderella, Carol, How To Train Your Dragon), Jeff Goldblum (Independence Day films, Jurassic Park films, The Fly, The Grand Budapest Hotel) and Karl Urban (Star Trek films, Dredd, The Lord of the Rings films, Riddick films) have been added to the cast of Thor: Ragnarok.
The press release says:
“Two-time Oscar®-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Carol, “Cinderella”) joins Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok” as the mysterious and powerful new villain Hela, along with Jeff Goldblum (the upcoming “Independence Day: Resurgence,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Jurassic Park”) who joins the cast as the eccentric Grandmaster, Tessa Thompson (“Creed,” “Selma”) who will bring the classic hero Valkyrie to life on the big screen, and Karl Urban (“Star Trek” trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King”) who will add his might to the fray as Skurge.
Rounding out the cast for the film is three-time Oscar®-nominee Mark Ruffalo (“Spotlight,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “Foxcatcher”), reprising his role of Bruce Banner/the Hulk from “Marvel’s The Avengers” and Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”
“The continuation of the epic Thor franchise will be powerful and unique, and with the additions of Cate, Jeff, Tessa, Karl, and Mark to the cast we have the makings of his most dangerous and heroic adventure yet,” said Producer Kevin Feige. “The sheer, raw talent each of these actors brings to the screen can’t be quantified. Having any one of them join the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be an honor, and having all of them is incredible.”
Thor’s new cast members join returning stars Chris Hemsworth (“Rush,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Ghostbusters”) in the title role for the fifth time; Tom Hiddleston (“Crimson Peak,” “The Night Manager,” “Kong: Skull Island”) as Thor’s adversarial, adopted brother, Loki; Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Idris Elba (“The Dark Tower,” “Luther,” “Beasts of No Nation”) as the Asgardian sentry, Heimdall; and Academy Award®-winner Sir Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Nixon,” “Hitchcock”) again portraying Odin, Ruler of Asgard.
“Thor: Ragnarok,” the third installment of Marvel’s popular Norse Super Hero, is directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Taika Waititi (“Two Cars, One Night,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”). Kevin Feige will produce the film, joined by executive producers Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Thomas M. Hammel and Stan Lee.”
Tessa Thompson had previously been rumoured to be part of the cast, while Goldblum and Urban are surprise announcements.
Thor: Ragnarok is scheduled for release on November 3rd, 2017.

The villains that will oppose Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in his final time playing the title character in The Wolverine 3 have reportedly been revealed.
The villains (or the “cannon fodder villains”) will be the Reavers. The Reavers in the comics were cyborgs created specifically to eliminate mutants. No other details on the Reavers role in the film have been revealed, such as who created (or is controlling) them and how large of a role they will play in the film. It’s speculated that Donald Pierce and Mr. Sinister are most likely to be the characters that either created or are controlling the Reavers.
The Wolverine 3 is scheduled for release on March 3rd, 2017.
Thoughts on this report? Are you hopeful that these villains will be part of Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine movie?
“They’re going to do a sequel for sure, and the recently announced spinoff with Margot Robbie has got everyone excited, too, but their plans don’t end there. The studio is feeling very confident in the property. They think it’s going to be a really big hit and they think audiences are going to fall in love with these characters. I’ve heard more than a few talks of giving some of the other Task Force X members their own spinoffs, and like the Harley Quinn one, these films would open the door for a ton of new DC characters to show up. The Joker is a definite possibility for a spinoff, and Jared [Leto] seems up for it from what I’ve been told. They’re also really hot on Jai Courtney’s character Boomerang right now. Nothing’s set in stone yet, but you’re definitely going to be seeing a lot more of these guys in the years to come.”
The Suicide Squad movie is scheduled for release on August 5th, 2016.
Thoughts on this rumour? Are you excited by the possibility of multiple Suicide Squad spin-offs?
Miles Morales, previously the Spider-Man of the Ultimate Marvel Universe and now the junior Spider-Man of the post-Secret Wars Marvel Universe, is rumoured to be the main focus of the upcoming Spider-Man animated movie.
The rumour also states that there are currently two potential working titles for the film: Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spider-Man and The Ultimate Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
A description of the character in the comics can be read below:
“Miles Morales was created in 2011 by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli. Morales took over as the Spider-Man of the Ultimate Marvel Universe after the death of that universe’s Peter Parker. Miles first met the original Peter Parker in the Spider-Men crossover event, and the two crossed paths again in the Spider-Verse event. During the Secret Wars crossover, the Ultimate Universe and nearly all of its inhabitants were destroyed, but Molecule Man used his god-like powers to save Miles and integrate him into the new Marvel Universe as repayment for Miles giving him a hamburger to eat.”
The untitled Spider-Man animated movie is scheduled for release on December 21st, 2018.
Thoughts on this rumour? Does this make you more excited for the upcoming Spider-Man animated movie?
