A potential Batman vs. Superman spoiler from a Warner Bros. producer. It's unclear if he's joking or not. (In case it gets deleted, it says ""#batfleck semi-retired/not speaking to Robin anymore.. Controlling drones from the batcave.")
The Daily Superhero has a rumor about why Paul Rudd might not have been cast as Ant-Man yet.
Guardians of the Galaxy is going to be a big part of Free Comic Book Day, according to Newsarama.The Los Angeles Times spoke to Anthony Hopkins about what happens to Odin at the end of Thor: The Dark World. Spoilers below, but notice the potential Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. reference:
I'm not sure. He hasn't physically died on screen, but I played him as a man who's on his way out. I think they would have to explain in Thor 3, if there is one, what happens to Odin. Or maybe it'll just be a story line, maybe he went to Tahiti or something for a holiday. I don't know.
