Spider-Man’s predecessor Andrew Garfield revealed whether Marvel Studios contacted him to play the wall crawling hero and here is what he responded,

No. To be honest [pauses], all the ins and outs of what happened is a more tender conversation that maybe I don’t want to talk about in public in a press situation. But all I can say is that I’m stoked to go and watch a Marvel film of Spider-Man. I’m really, really grateful for the whole ride of it. And I’m really excited for the next one. I’ve been petitioning to hook up with Marvel since the beginning, so I’m really glad they’re finally doing it.

I don’t know which one I’m in,” Brolin said when asked whether he’ll show up in Captain America: Civil War.That’s a Kevin Feige question. I know the trajectory of what they’re doing, but I don’t know exactly which one I’m in.

However, Brolin did express his excitement for the impending Avengers sequel, The Infinity Wars which will be split into two parts and cause catastrophic changes to the Marvel Universe,

I love going into a comic book store and a guy connecting me with Thanos, and seeing the incredible regressive awe that happens. Like you see them lose 30 years in can’t-breathe awe. That’s fun, and I have a lot of respect for those fans. I’m excited about doing it, I really am.

I don’t have a favorite because it’s me against all of them. I think the entirety is what I’m most looking forward to. Each and every one. I’m bringing the wrath.

Characters From “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Getting Spinoff Show

The third season of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” doesn’t premiere until September 29th, but a new announcement says a new series is underway at ABC Studios. The new series is titled “Marvel’s Most Wanted” and will focus on the formerly married duo Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter from “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”. The executive producer and writers from “Agents” are currently developing the show, but not much information has been revealed outside of that.

“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” vs “Agent Carter” Dubsmash War For Charity

Fans went crazy for the Dubsmash contest at Comic Con this year, especially after the Hayley Atwell and James D’Arcy from “Agent Carter” included Chris Evans as Captin America in their video, winning the contest. After most of the buzz died down, Chloe Bennet and Clark Gregg from “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” posted another video, reigniting the competition, this time for charity. Earlier today, both dueling teams released a video together stating the rules of the competition, the prizes availible and the start date for the contest.

Major Villain Cast for “Luke Cage”

The latest Marvel Netflix series has yet to be released, but more news about upcoming shows is pouring in. Emmy winner Alfre Woodard has joined the Netflix series “Luke Cage” as a villain to Mike Colter’s titular character. The series follows after “Daredevil”, released this year, and “Jessica Jones”, rumored to be premiering this October. Woodard is scheduled to play a “powerful woman in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life.” The character is rumored to be Lucia Von Bardas, but seeing as Bardas is the prime minister of Latveria and a cyborg, the rumor seems too far-fetched.

The much anticipated sequel to “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” comes to theaters on May 6th, 2016, and filming is still underway in Leipzig. Fans have snuck pictures of the cast in costume on the set and have posted them to social media, including the fan shown below.
