Tron: Legacy was a financial hit for Disney but didn’t make nearly as much money as they had anticipated. That meant that any further films in the Tron franchise were a bit iffy as to whether or not Disney wanted to risk it again. As of the past few weeks, it seemed they did as Tron 3 was supposedly officially in production. But as quickly as it was announced, it was cancelled. In this writer’s…

As you would expect, people have began to speculate that eventually, the Guardians Of The Galaxy are going to meet The Avengers. In a recent sit down with IGN, however, Chris Pratt sort of wants people to pump the brakes on that one: “That’s speculation. I haven’t heard that,” Pratt said. “No, no one’s ever discussed it with me.” He added: “I think like the universe itself it’s best to expand outward,” he says. “I don’t personally – and it’s not up to me, I’ll do whatever they want me to do – I don’t want to see the Guardians…

According to THR, the two actors that have been narrowed down to play Spider-Man are Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland. As some of you may remember, Butterfield was confirmed as Spider-Man at an earlier point – but those reports proved to be false. The other actors that Marvel was reportedly looking at were Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Plummer and Charlie Rowe.

6/12/2015 **Update** He will be appearing on Marvel’s Daredevil. We last saw Frank Castle in the pathetic 2008 film known as Punisher: War Zone.
