A shortlist of actors rumoured to be in the running to play Han Solo in the characters anthology film (due out in 2018) has been released.
2,500 actors reportedly auditioned for the role and the rumour suggests that the list is now down to approximately a dozen actors (though more may actually be on the list as it’s just a rumoured list).

The rumour also suggests that the young Han Solo (as he will be in his anthology film) could be making a cameo in this years’ film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
The Han Solo anthology film is scheduled for release on May 25th, 2018.

The Assassin’s Creed movie starring Michael Fassbender (X-Men movies) has officially wrapped up principal photography.
The movie began pre-production in February last year, but the shooting didn’t begin until the end of August. The film is now heading into post-production after four months and fifteen days of shooting.
Assassin Creed’s Head of Content Azaïzia Aymar tweeted the following message and picture:
“It is my honor to announce that Assassin’s Creed movie last shot was taken minutes ago! Congratulations guys!!!”
“Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day. Assassin’s Creed stars Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Days of Future Past, 12 Years a Slave) and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, La Vie en Rose).”
The Assassin’s Creed movie is scheduled for release on December 21st, 2016.

Rumoured details on how Spider-Man will be introduced in this years’ Captain America: Civil War have been revealed.
The rumoured details can be read below:
“Our source told us is that Tony goes to Peter Parker specifically to recruit him, and to seal the deal, offers him an advanced Spider-suit to fight in — an upgrade from whatever 15-year-old Peter was previously slinging around in. But why would Peter even consider such an offer? “Peter started becoming Spidey because he grew up and idolized Tony,” our source revealed. Since Iron Man takes place 10 years before we meet Peter in Civil War, where Peter is 15, that means Peter was five-years-old when Tony broke onto the scene in the original Iron Man, likely dominating the news as Peter grew into a teenager. If the guy you admire and look up to suddenly shows up on your balcony with a sweet piece of tech and says, “hey, let’s be bros,” are you going to turn him down?”
Captain America: Civil War is set for release on May 6th, 2016.
Thoughts on this rumour? Are you looking forward to seeing Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War?
