Here's a new Guardians of the Galaxy featurette via Marvel.
Fox President Emma Watts talked to the Hollywood Reporter about Josh Trank's Fantastic Four:
We're making a big bet for 2015 with The Fantastic Four and director Josh Trank. To me, the key is the originality of the filmmakers and the choices they make. Josh is another really interesting example, who is using the vision he gave us in Chronicle to reinvent a franchise he's loved his whole life. It's not that you can't make original ideas — you can, and we did it with Chronicle. The director is the key to not letting superhero movies go stale.
Looks like Jesse Eisenberg is in Michigan for Batman v Superman as he posed with an executive from Ford. So is his co-star Tao Okamoto via CBM.

Speaking to JoBlo, Jon Favreau commented on Edgar Wright leaving Ant-Man:
Edgar's a dear friend of mine – I was so looking forward to his version of Ant-Man. All Edgar's films have been studio films, it's not like he's never made one before. I think he's been used to a situation where he can have tremendous creative say around his story and casting, and Marvel has built an entire franchise around their style of telling stories. I know both parties well, and I respect his decision to see that he wasn't going to be fulfilled in the process. That's all I can really say.
