Could the scoundrel of Marvel ’s big blank space opera house be the ruler of one of its most famous alien races ? Could a Man of Steel prequel comic set the leg for one of Superman ’s close allies ? Could a villain of day of remembrance special past return to menace the Doctor on his fiftieth anniversary ? Maybe not , but develop for spoilers !

It ’s been heavily rumor ( but I do n’t believe confirmed yet ) that Pushing Daisies star Lee Pace will play the main , presumably non - Thanos villain in this moving picture , but there ’s been no clear sense of which villain that would be . The latest hearsay claims Ronan the Accuser will be that villain . Ronan was originally a Fantastic Four scoundrel — which might actually make some right issues with twentieth Century Fox , although he ’s a underage enough character that Marvel Studios could in all probability get keep of him if they really wanted to — and is of mostly of promissory note for being the rule of the Kree , which might in turn set up the Kree - Skrull war that everyone seemed to think was lead to happen in The Avengers . In other word , this is probably just the prelude to a whole new round of Kree - Skrull hearsay for The Avengers 2 . In the interim , I ’d advise handle this rumor with the deepest skepticism , and not just because we ’re still somewhat dubitable that either the Kree or the Skrulls are going to show up in a Marvel moving picture anytime shortly .

While it ’s always difficult to tell how much faith to put in tie - in comedian , the contents of the funny Man of Steel Prequel # 1 — the account of which was devised by Man of Steel manager Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer along with DC Comics chief originative office Geoff Johns — are just crazy enough to be worth highlighting . IGN has the summation :
The comic is essentially the origin tale of Supergirl in this new picture show persistence . The story regard Kara and several fellow student undertaking a harsh test of survival on Krypton . She reach the test , but not before her fan Kell - Ur is killed by fellow student Dev - Em . Kara ’s payoff is the chance to join a squad of cosmonaut that will essay out and colonize a new world in the name of Krypton . However , Dev - Em escapes custody and manages to sabotage the ship . The close result of her final skirmish with her nemesis is that Kara is sealed in a cryogenic seedcase and collapse - lands on Earth thousand of years before the arrival of Superman .
Unless you enumerate those clear bullshit Lindsay Lohan rumors from a couple age back , there have been no serious indication that Supergirl would appear in Man of Steel , so if this comic is at all go under up a movie plot line , then this will most likely be dealt with in a subsequent movie . Still , the most potential account is that Snyder and Goyer just want to do a story sport Supergirl , and a comic was the best way to do that . [ IGN ]
And here ’s a pair of grapheme card . [ First Showing ]
It ’s still very far from confirm that Ridley Scott will be able-bodied to make a Prometheus continuation after the original ’s less than striking response at the domestic box office , and it ’s still very far from clear just when Scott would even be capable to make the matter — 2015 is probably the earliest opening he has in his schedule — but that has n’t stopped the first casting hearsay for the film .
Specifically , British actor Rik Barnett , a near stranger whose only significant function to date ( of three cite total ) was in the 2010 film Rebels Without a Clue , has reportedly meet with Scott on multiple occasions to discuss a theatrical role in the picture show . It ’s voiceless to bonk what to make of any of this , considering there ’s no indication that a script has been finish or , again , that twentieth Century Fox even wants to make the flick , and even then it seems unusual for Scott to be select a specific interest in an actor with such a low profile .
So then , unspoilt to take this with a huge caryopsis of salinity , but I will say that if this story is made up or even just an overstatement of a less compelling accuracy , it ’s one of the most flakey stories I ’ve ever come across , because seriously … who would make up a Prometheus 2 casting rumor about some guy named Rik Barnett ? Well , other than Rik Barnett , I guess . [ Prometheus Movie News ]

Iron Man 3 costar James Badge Dale says the creative and budgetary problems on his next blockbuster , Marc Forster ’s World War Z , have been overstated :
There ’s been a lot of talking about World War Z being all over the place , but no , that was n’t true . That gets blown up in the press . Every flick has their share of job . The truth is , the creative experience on World War Z was fantastic , and it looks amazing . You want to ferment with good the great unwashed . When you ’re working with good masses , it frees you up . There ’s nothing worse , as an doer , to show up and then finger like you have to protect yourself somehow because you do n’t feel like you ’re in good hands . It ’s not an worker ’s medium . It ’s a director ’s medium . We ’re just one sprocket in this elephantine motorcar . You show up and look at all the other cogs like , “ Wow , everyone is the safe at what they do . ” You ’re in really good deal . And that frees you up to playact and feel dependable , and you may take chances , creatively . you’re able to take risk . I desire to show up to work and take risk of infection . I do n’t ever want to act it safe .

With time of year seven now completed , it seems like high time we have a unhinged , almost sure as shooting false rumour about the fiftieth day of remembrance particular . And this one is a existent loyalist of wild Doctor Who rumour : allot to what are reportedly “ a number of very reliable sources , ” Omega , the original rogue Time Lord , will be a villain in the special .
For whatever it ’s worth , Z has long been rumored as a potential returning Doctor Who villain , because although he clearly is n’t as iconic as the Daleks , Cybermen , Master et al . , he has a fairly compelling backstory , he appear in the original multi - Doctor day of remembrance especial “ The Three Doctors , ” and his deportee in an anti - matter macrocosm means he ’s the one Time Lord with a ready - made explanation for his selection .
There were even rumour that the bang-up Jason Isaacs was meeting with Steven Moffat in homework for hold on the character at the end of season six … which obviously never happened , and that ’s the most potential fate of this rumour , especially when John Hurt ’s presence as the secret Doctor already probably gives the special all the morally compromise Time Lords it can deal .

Here ’s a behind - the - scenes telecasting entitled “ The Politics of Marriage . ”
sequence eight is reportedly called “ Dead Meat ” and will boast the back roles of “ a guard and a bottling plant gaffer . ” I realize these are probably just bit persona with a total of two words between them , but now I ’m weirdly scheme in the spin - off series , honest profligate Nights : The Continuing Adventures of a Guard and a Bottling Plant Foreman . Just when you thought the original True Blood was sexy ! [ SpoilerTV ]

For anyone who commemorate that the last four instalment of this show never publicize in the United States — or , hell , for anyone who remembers that this is a show that actually existed — here ’s a head - up that ABC has now scheduled those instalment to airwave on sequential Saturdays between June 22 and July 13 .

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim tell there will be two main villains in the second season :
“ We made no secret of the fact that we pledge to the Whedonesque model of get a cock-a-hoop bad , and in Season 2 , we ’ll in reality have two big bads . They ’ll both be very recognizable epithet to devotee of the comic book . We ’re really unrestrained about both of them . ” With Malcolm and the Dark Archer , we sort of had two big badness in one individual . In Season 2 , we ’re going to split them up essentially , and there will be a Malcolm - esque large badness and a Dark Archer - esque boastful badness . ”
He also tell the destiny of Slade Wilson — who will now be a main character after Manu Bennett ’s promotion to series regular status — will be a magnanimous question in season two :
“ If the doubtfulness of Season 1 is , ‘ What happened to Oliver on that island ? ’ The interrogative sentence of Season 2 is , ‘ What happened to Slade Wilson on that island ? ’ We ’re definitely attempt to take the show to the next level in Season 2 . manifestly we ’re feeling a lot of pressure sensation , but also a Brobdingnagian desire to render with a few big bold assertion that the show is not quieting down . If anything , it ’s ramping up . It ’s live on to be cool . I ’m really excited about both villains . We ’ve set the bar pretty gamy for ourselves in terminal figure of ending with a bang , and we ’re look to exceed that in time of year 2 . ”
