Elizabeth Olsen has officially confirmed her role in the upcoming Avengers sequel, Age of Ultron. She spoke to MTV about the job, noting the odd experience of playing Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s brother in the flick, considering that they star as husband and wife in 2014’s Godzilla. “It’s also fun because even though in Godzilla we play husband and wife, […]

By Simon Miraudo August 20, 2013 With its second instalment, the Kick-Ass saga has officially been stripped of its satirical bite. No biggie. So long as Chloë Grace Moretz‘s murderous Mindy Macready – aka Hit Girl – remains in the limelight, I’ll take little umbrage with the bastardisation of the comics upon which these movies […]

Ever since director Joss Whedon revealed his desire to feature brother and sister team Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in The Avengers 2, the internet has been abuzz with casting rumours.

The original Kick-Ass was a clever, subversive riff on superhero stories, but the recently released trailer for the upcoming sequel seems to signal the series’ slide into generic action territory despite some offbeat touches. Director of the original film, Matthew Vaughn, moved on to rebooting the X-Men franchise, handing the Kick-Ass reigns to Jeff Wadlow, […]

By Jess Lomas February 12, 2013 Adapting one of literature’s greatest tragedies is no easy feat, as Joe Wright’s take on Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina repeatedly demonstrates. While the picture soars creatively, giving us some of the most exquisite sequences of recent times, it lacks the burning passion necessary to raise this from a pretty […]
