Wrestler Dave Bautista is going from Marvel to martinis. The Guardians of the Galaxy star has reportedly been cast as a major henchman named Hinx in Sam Mendes’ Bond 24. The film starts filming in December aimed at a November 6, 2015 release.

When you stop and think about this for a minute, how crazy is that? At least in my mind, the WWE is sort of known for the cheesy acting and terrible, over the top performances. Now the headlines go something like, “WWE wrestler jumpstarts his acting career in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then moves on to James Bond villainy.

Mind you, I’m not…

Well, now we know what all of Robert Downey Jr.‘s vague promises of “plans” and “other stuff” with Marvel were about. The actor is reportedly in final negotiations to joinChris Evans‘ titular hero in Captain America 3.

Even more exciting is what he’ll be doing there: Going head to head with Cap in an adaptation of the Civil War storyline from the comic books.

Well now we know what all the blathering and excitement from Robert Downey Jr. has been about lately.

According to Variety, who got the scoop, Captain America 3 will kick off a whole new phase for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The…

Lost in Space is getting rebooted again. This time, the people doing the rebooting are Legendary TV and writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the scribes behind this weekend’s Dracula Untold.

Irwin Allen‘s TV series ran for 83 episodes across three seasons from 1965 to 1968. Previous efforts to revive the property have included the 1998 movie directed by Stephen Hopkins and a failed 2003 pilot directed by John Woo.

Rebooting Lost In Space with the writers who wrote (what looks like) the stupidest movie of 2014. What could go wrong?

TJ wanted to discuss the new ‘Left Behind’ (starring Nicolas Cage), but since he was out sick, Joe Darnell and Michael Minkoff talk about the film and critique Christian arts at large. As the ‘Left Behind’ film’s description put it, “In a moment, the entire planet is plunged into darkness.” This says a lot about how lame the film is. We believe that true Christianity is largely not practiced by artists, and the Church doesn’t appreciate Christains that produce great art.

The fact that I haven’t heard about this film before now tells me it’s probably not any good. It’s also being positioned (at least a little) as a Halloween film — though it did not completely strike me as a film quite of the caliber. Still, I don’t completely trust it. But it does have some good actors in it and looked mildly diverting.

It stars Kate Beckinsale, Jim Sturgess, Brendan Gleeson, Ben Kingsley, and Michael Caine and will debut in cinemas on October 24.

In hugely shocking news, a popular, marketable character from a smash hit film is being spun off into his own movie. Yep, it’s just another day in Hollywood, but still, this is pretty big news.

THR reports that Warner Bros. has put “Lego Batman” on the fast track. It will be a spinoff from the massive hit “The Lego Movie,” and finds Will Arnett reprising his role as the self-centered, sarcastic hero who always seems a little too good for whatever situation he finds himself in. His character was a lot of fun in the Christopher Miller and Phil Lord-directed film, and giving him his own…

I went to see The Maze Runner with no expectations. I saw a trailer two or three times in the last season that promoted this young adult (YA) dystopian sci-fi, but other than the trailers, I didn’t have prior knowledge of the film.

Dystopian flicks and novels work better this way. I like a movie I know little about.1 And if it’s in the YA category, it helps to keep an open mind and let the movie speak for itself. I’m not a young adult anymore, and sadly I’m finding it harder to relate to the fears and angst teenagers experience. However, a well-made movie can suck me into a story so that I…

Robert Downey Jr. may have backtracked on the idea that he’s willing to do Iron Man 4(sorry, Tony Stark fans!), but it looks like he’s serious about this one.

The actor participated in the ever-so-popular Reddit AMA yesterday to promote his upcoming film The Judge, and to answer a number of fans’ burning questions—like are we ever going to see a Sherlock Holmes 3 or what?!

“Yes, we have a Sherlock 3 in development. We want it to be the best of the series, so that’s a pretty tall order,” RDJ answered, “Also, Perry Mason is a property I’m looking forward to developing further, going back to…

Yesterday on Ellen, Robert Downey Jr. said he and Marvel were in the middle of negotiations for Iron Man 4.  However, later that night, he went on The Late Show, and told David Letterman that not only is there no script, but when pressed to give a definitive answer on whether he would do the movie, Downey responded:

“Just between us, no — but I’m going to do other stuff with Marvel. I’m still going to be involved with Marvel and there’s going to be plenty of other fun stuff.”

He also said that Marvel does “have a plan, and I think they’re going to announce — they’re very secretive about…
