Chris Hemsworth as Thor: Here is a brief history on the character he plays after the Jump... An Avenger and the crown prince of Asgard, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name. About Thor's place in the film, Hemsworth said, "Well Thor stayed on Earth from [Thor: The Dark World]. So he's here. He's part of the team. This is his home for the moment. So the initial threat of attack from Ultron is personal. Thor then begins to see a bigger picture about what this threat could potentially be and it begins to tie into all of our films." Commenting on his portrayal of the character, Hemsworth said, "What becomes a challenge is trying to not repeat the same thing all the time. So you've got to work that bit harder to see what else you can do with the character." He added, "...it was just lightening up a bit. It gave us room to kind of make him a little more grounded and human and have him in some civilian clothes and mixing it up a

The Medieval China action tale is too short and silly for us to care. Review by Matt Cummings The careers of both Actors Hayden Christensen and Nicholas Cage seem to be headed these days in the same direction: down. Destroyed by his experiences in the Star Wars prequels, Christensen is a ship without a rudder, an actor that could have been something, had his choices not been so terribly misguided. For Cage, it's a career first marked by brilliance (Raising Arizona), then incredible mainstream success ( The Rock , Con Air ), then incredible folly (Ghost Rider, Season of the Witch , etc etc). Therefore it's only fitting that both find themselves in the direct-to-VOD/Blu-ray snoozer Outcast , an unremarkable film with merely decent action by a stunt-man-turned-director. The Crusades-weary knight Jacob (Christensen) is haunted by his wartime wrongdoings, a victim as much as those he murdered during those wars. Urged by his mentor Gallain (Cage), Jacob decides to fle

The newest episode of Inside the Bucket is online! Revel in the digital mastery! It's another fabulous edition of Inside the Bucket , as Matt, Brandon, and David to deliver the best movie and television news from our website SANDWICHJOHNFILMS.COM . On this week's show, we rub our eyes from the self-inflicted mutilations that are The Netflix Original Series Daredevil . Actually, we all really liked it, but listen to the show to hear why. We also discuss several items of news, including a possible director for Aquaman and reboots of popular 80's movies...because that never happens! Please check out these and other stories which we've included below. Later, the three go on their Rants and Raves, where they bitch and complain about all the things they're watching, following, and have their panties in a bind about from the week. Since there are no quality films this week (sorry/not sorry, Longest Ride fans) they review The Netflix Original Series

We have the final, final, final version of the list. Story by Matt Cummings With the sudden announcement of the Sony/Marvel Spider-man deal back in February , the entire Marvel calendar was upended, pushing titles back and others out of the way. We wrote about this back when the news broke , but it's clear that the situation hadn't exactly settled. The addition of 2016's Gambit hadn't yet been figured out, which caused yet another wave of bloggers to hit the UPDATE button on their old stories. But it doesn't end there. Other news - such as the lackluster performance of The Amazing Spider-man 2 which forced Sony to seek out a co-partner in Marvel in the first place - also changed Sony's plans regarding Drew Goddard's Sinister Six , effectively ending its development for the time being. Not one to be left out, the all-new DCCU (DC Cinematic Universe) is also vying for our hearts (and wallets), and with news on that front happening nearly ev

Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch : Here is a brief history on the character he plays after the Jump... A newly recruited Avenger who initially allies with Ultron and the twin sister of Quicksilver, who can harness magic and engage in hypnosis and telekinesis. Olsen said, "The reason she's so special is because she has such a vast amount of knowledge that she's unable to learn how to control it. No one taught her how to control it properly. So it gets the best of her. It's not that she's mentally insane, it's just that she's just overly stimulated. And she can connect to this world and parallel worlds at the same time, and parallel times." Describing her character's mind control powers, Olsen said, "I am able to go into someone's head and they'd never see. I can feel and see what they feel and see. So it's not just me manipulating them. What I love about her is that, in so many superhero films, emotions are k

The Furious 7 director would join Jason Momoa for the DCCU. Story by Matt Cummings Director James Wan has scored big in recent years, moving effortless through The Conjuring and Insidious franchises with relative ease. His most recent production - Furious 7 - has already roared to an amazing $180m, vaulting him into the spotlight with his quick action edits and ability to navigate a nearly impossible shooting schedule. Now, he could be on his way to the deep ocean. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Wan is being pursued by Warner Bros. to direct Aquaman , featuring the classic titular character. No official offer has been made, but the studio appears to have started preliminary talks. Actor Jason Momoa is already signed to star as the lead and will supposedly make an appearance in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice . The Justice Leaguer will star in several of Warners' superhero films, including the BvS two-parter. Competing scripts are being d

After a sharp turn as the sexy blade-legged assassin in the Matthew Vaughn -directed hit Kingsman: The Secret Service , Sofia Boutella has been set for a lead role in Star Trek 3 . Which Justin Lin is directing from a script by cast member Simon Pegg and Doug Jung (creator of the TNT series Dark Blue). Prying loose info on this project is difficult, so I’m not sure whether she’s on the side of good or bad, but I’m told she’s got a lead role in the Paramount/Skydance film produced by Bad Robot that’s based on the Gene Roddenberry series. Paramount has dated the pic’s release for July 8, 2016. Please Leave A Comment-

Chris Evans as Steve Rogers / Captain America : Here is a brief history on the character he plays after the Jump... The co-leader of the Avengers and a World War II veteran, who was enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum and frozen in suspended animation before waking up in the modern world. Describing his character's place in the film, Evans said, "He's still looking for a home, probably a metaphorical home. He's always felt comfortable as a soldier. And he likes structure. He works well taking orders. But when that dynamic turned on him, he's now left to depend upon his team, the Avengers. There really is no one above them telling them what to do. They're kind of having to operate independently. So there's a lot of leaning on one another, but there really isn't a kind of clear chain of command. And I think Cap looks for that. I think he's looking to understand where he belongs, not just as a soldier, as Captain
