Andy Serkis Has Role In 'Avengers: AOU' !

A few weeks back, The King of Mo-Cap acting Andy Serkis (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) was called to the Avengers: Age of Ultron set to help Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo (13 Going On 30) perfect his performance. Now Hitfix is reporting that Serkis was there for more than just to help out Ruffalo and may have an actual role in the film. Today Hitfix's Drew McWeeny wrote about his sources on the set saying "...They clarified that he (Andy Serkis) is only playing one character in the film, and that the nature of that role is still meant to be a secret."

So who is this secret character that Serkis is playing? So many possibilities. With his mo-cap skills he can legitimately play just about anyone in the MCU. Whoever it is, I guarantee that it will be a scene stealer. Serkis's Gollum and Caesar performances are iconic and I expect nothing less from him as a Marvel character.

I loved Cap 2 and X-Men: DOFP, but Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is my most anticipated movie of the summer. I am on the edge of my seat for every word Caesar speaks. Gonna be insanely epic. 

Superhero Man Crush Monday on Tuesday: 4/22/14

Sorry about the the delay. It was a long weekend up here in New England, so we haven't had time to crush on any dudes till today. Enjoy!

Man Crush: This week's man crush is........Tobey Maguire.

Yes people the original Peter Parker, and that is the exact reason why I chose him this week. He has been in other roles along side such actors as Leo Dicaprio (Great Gatsby), and the horse in Seabiscut. But he seriously in my opinion played the perfect Peter Parker. Nothing against Andrew Garfield he's doing a great job, but this was my childhood and Tobey you brought my favorite super hero to the big screen for my little green eyes to see. Well deserved man crush ;)

Character Crush: The Flash (Wally West)

Wally West was my Flash growing up. The great Michael Rosenbaum portrayed him as the lovable heart of the Justice League in the early 2000's. Then years later, Jason Spisak showed us that Wally was the funny, wanna be ladies man as a teen too. No matter what iteration of Wally you like the most, he will always be the superhero that you would most want to grab a beer with. Batman only drinks ginger ale to maintain his physical perfection. Superman only drinks Budweiser with his mom. Tony Stark is a sloppy drunk and former alcoholic. Captain America can't get drunk. Doop never picks up a tab. So the natural and only choice to toast a Yuenling with is my main man Wally. You are my spitfire, pal.

Is Jennifer Lawrence Getting a Mystique Spinoff?

Entertainment Weekly recently interviewed X-Men: Days of Future Past's producer Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg for a cover story about the film. Given the success of Marvel's Cinematic Universe and Spiderman's recently announced spinoffs, EW asked if FOX is considering any mutant spinoffs besides Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Prodcuer Donner responded with “There was a regime [at the studio] that didn’t see the worth in [spin-offs], and the current people who run Fox understand, embrace it, and we’re going to do right by it,”. Donner would go on to say she would like to see a Gambit film, a Deadpool one, and lastly Mystique. Kinberg added when asked about Mystique's pivotal role in Days of Future Past “I love what Jen Lawrence has done with her, and I feel like because she is in such a crowded ensemble, there’s so much more opportunity if you were to follow her solo.” Sounds like FOX really is considering spinoffs for their X-men properties. I am a big of fan of Jennifer Lawrence and Mystique, but this seems to be a move that would try to capitalize on Lawrence's name recognition rather than the character's popularity. But hey, if they have a good story go for it. I personally can never get enough X-Men or Jennifer Lawrence's acting. So if this movie does happen, what role are they gonna cast Bradley Cooper in? Gotta be Sabertooth, right? What mutant spinoffs should FOX try? Beast? Magneto? Gambit? Doop? Tell us your thoughts in the comments. X-Men: Days of Future Past will be in theaters May 23rd.
