Did Benedict Cumberbatch support he ’s playing Khan ? ( No . ) Is Matt Smith decidedly leaving Doctor Who in 2013 ? ( Also no . ) Will the next major planet of the Apes movie feature time change of location ? ( Sorry , no . ) Will Jim Carrey cameo in Kick - Ass 2 ? ( peradventure ! ? )
All those question answer , plus plenty more spoilers still to come !
Top trope from the Star Trek continuation .
Wang Xueqi , whose late work includes roles in the acclaimed Chinese films Forever Enthralled and Bodyguards & Assassins , is reportedly in talks for the part of Chen Lu , who in the comics is transformed into the villainous Radioactive Man . This quality , who is also rumored to play Ant - Man in a post - credits scene , was previously linked to Andy Lau . If this cast news is correct , it means Marvel is n’t worried about casting a relatively older player as a supervillain — Wang is 66 , compare to the 50 - class - old Lau ( and Jeff Bridges was about 58 when he made Iron Man , for point of reference ) . Anyway , consider this very much unconfirmed until we find out more . [ Comic Book ]
There are reports that Peggy Carter will be back for the sequel , with Hayley Atwell repeat the role in the 1940s flashback sequences . This seems potential enough , give it ’s pretty much confirmed that a substantial section of the movie will be set during World War II , but Atwell herself was unable to confirm or abnegate the news report when asked about it .

There ’s been some chatter that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch confirms he ’s play Khan in a recent consultation , so it ’s worth point out that he does n’t actually say that at all — rather , he just says he ’s tired of have to deny it . This is actually the same interview in which he claims he was misquote about his thoughts on CBS ’s new Sherlock - character show Elementary , so this whole audience thing has apparently been a bit of a sticky wicket gate all round for Mr. Cumberbatch . Anyway , here ’s what he ’s quote as saying , which also include a couple small tidbits about his use in The Hobbit :
Going back to Star Trek 2 , there ’s been lots of conjecture about your character …
Yep , it ’s yet another thing I ca n’t verbalise about [ joke ] . I ’ll tell you this , it ’s iconic and it ’s exciting . I ’m bored of deny that it ’s Khan now , because people keep saying it .
Was it fun playing a villain ?
Really , really good fun . It ’s a great part and it ’s really well written . I enjoy the fights and the stunts , there ’s batch of that and it really is right activity movie territory . I went off and did The Hobbit [ doing motion - gaining control and voice work as tartar Smaug and the Necromancer ] at the commencement of the job , so I literally came on set , established the look , did a Clarence Shepard Day Jr. of filming and then f*cked off to New Zealand for two weeks before coming back . But it ’s the stuff of dreams . I know it ’s such a well - trodden , clichéd route , ‘ Brit actor work villain in Hollywood ’ , but I channelled all of that and just really enjoyed it .

Star Chris Pine propose this subsequence will check the come of a third entry in the franchise , although he is n’t aware of what it might be :
” bonk these hombre , there ’s always a way to make some more instalment . I ’m sure they ’ve build - in something , I ’m just not sassy enough to have run across it ! But I ’m certain there ’s a way of life . What I do have it off from the start , in term of social organisation , they ’ve had an idea of where they want to take the whole thing , just like a television serial . I ’m very frantic about Part 2 . ”
That inverted comma might also sort of imply that there ’s something build into the first Star Trek reboot that place up this continuation , but it ’s probably not wise to analyze this one too deeply . [ RTE ten ]

Producer Jon Landau grant the latest update on the continuation :
The script are passably far along . We have a team of people already working on the pic at Manhattan Beach Studios . We ’ve been process with WETA Digital on technologies . You be intimate , Titanic was supposed to be a summer moving-picture show and it was a Christmas movie . We ’re going to make the best possible interlingual rendition of these movies , and they will descend out when they are exactly that .
What late overture in technology are you look forward to incorporating into next film ?
I think a great faithfulness of facial performance capture is something that ’s very exciting , and I think that being able to produce worlds , like we did with Avatar , at even higher fidelity to really immerse the audience more in the narration storytelling . Those are great goals , as we move forward .

Screenwriter Rick Jaffa told Total Film that the rising of the Planet of the Apes subsequence is unlikely to find fault up on fourth dimension travel , one of the self-aggrandising fall back plot devices of previous Planet of the Apes continuation :
“ I do n’t foreknow that . But it ’s interesting you should ask that , because it ’s the one big element that we made a witting decision not to research in the first one , and we were worried that there might be some backlash in the skill fiction community because of it . When the news report first came together we were very , very excited , and yet before we shift it , I cerebrate , ‘ The one thing missing though is time travel . But it ’s not necessary for this picky telling ’ . And I do n’t really foresee it , to evidence you the truth . ”

author - director Jeff Wadlow sent out this tweet with the start of cinematography looming : 6 days till we start shooting … and we formally have our Colonel . Alrighty f’n then !
Since no one in their right nous would make an Ace Ventura reference in this day and age for no cause , I would say there ’s a well chance this is Wadlow ’s way of craftily confirming that , yes , Jim Carrey is playing the Colonel , as has been bruit antecedently . [ Cinema Blend ]

At this percentage point , I honestly intend it ’s upright to just ignore this matter altogether until there ’s an official promulgation , but there was a fresh round of tabloid rumors this preceding weekend that Matt Smith would be leave behind the show in the 2013 Christmas special . The BBC has now move ahead and officially deny this , attributing these rumors to the fact that Smith recently said he wo n’t be doing the job forever and a day , which is pretty ego - evident , really . Either direction , even if Smith does leave in that Christmas special , the annunciation almost for certain would n’t be made until sometime next year , so there ’s really not much sense in interest about this either way for at least another few month .

Departing showrunner Alan Ball says he and the writers still have n’t entirely decided just what the netherworld Bill has become :
We do n’t know ! Honestly , we did n’t have a go at it what Lilith was . Just because the fundamentalist called her “ God , ” that does n’t have in mind she was . On our show , there ’s room for all sort of supernatural puppet . We do screw that Bill had some sort of major transformation into a deeper supernatural being . The dubiousness for me is has he lose his man entirely or will it just have to contend harder to come out . That ’s surely something that the author are speak about for next year .
Is Bill still design to apply humans as a food source ?
That will be his story in Season 6 . Is he going to add up up with his own original architectural plan ? What kind of struggle will the humans wage against him ?
He also discusses whether Bill is still cashable after this transformation :
My own notion is that the great unwashed can come up back from anything . It does n’t entail that it wo n’t come at a Brobdingnagian cost . But I ’m concerned in a Bill who is really malefic . Because after almost five seasons of a Bill who was “ I detest that I ’m a vampire , I ’m so nice , ” it was meter to make him really go dark and see what that does to everybody else .
Will Sookie fight to deliver Bill ?
It could be that or it could also be that Sookie is trying to save herself from him .
Ball further reveals that the 6th season will be only ten episode , as oppose to former seasons ’ twelve , partly to accommodate star Anna Paquin ’s pregnancy and part due to economical considerations . There ’s more at the contact . [ TV Guide ]

Bitsie Tulloch allege that Juliette ’s amnesia leaves her even further from learning the the true than ever :
“ She ca n’t remember him as a human being – let alone as a Wessen hunting watch . I think the master focusing is going to be on gravel her to call back or rebuild a relationship from excoriation . She just ca n’t commend him and he has years and years of howling memories with her . He really wants to beat up his head against the paries because nothing he does is jolting her from this emptiness . ”
The EW article also reveal that in tonight ’s episode , “ Juliette will make her own attempt to jar her memory and this will moderate to the return of a conversant face , and this coming together could set her on the path toward unveil Nick ’s closed book . ” [ EW ]

Run Lola Run wizard Franka Potente offers this incredibly opaque hint about her character , who appears in instalment four and five :
I ’m not let to say you really anything . But there ’s this reasonably crazy revelation about my character . You know [ how when ] Hitchcock [ was ] at his respectable he had this momentum in his movies where you think something ’s harebrained but potential ? My character has that momentum . And anybody who has seen this show will have [ that feeling ] because it ’s related to to something everybody knows historically . ”
