CBM.com has confirmed that Korean actress Kim Soo Hyun (Claudia Kim) has been cast in a "top secret role" in the sequel to the 2012 smash hit The Avengers. Hyun's role is top secret because according to a source “It would be a spoiler, so we can’t tell you which character she will play,”. So that leaves us open to speculate. Could she be Madame Hydra? Could she be the Wasp? Could she be the real Mandarin? The way the last couple of MCU movies have gone I wouldn't be surprised if she was all 3 of those characters combined.
On another Avengers note, insider Elmayimbe reports Scarlett Johansson's scenes in Age of Ultron will be fast tracked due to her pregnancy and that she will be dating a fellow Avenger in the upcoming film. Has to be Cap right? He gonna be really steamed when he finds out it's Stark's baby. Avengers: Age of Ultron is shooting now and expected in theaters May 2015.

Patrick Sabongui Cast as Police Captain for Flash Pilot!
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Patrick Sabongui (Godzilla) will play Central City Police Captain and Barry Allen's boss David Singh. Sabongui will be a recurring character if the series is picked up by the CW. Hopefully, the first episode of the show is about Singh ordering his cops to arrest Vibe. After capture, Vibe will be thrown in jail and never seen from again. I don't like Vibe. I don't know why he is on a Flash show. Has to be another Geoff Johns character push, I guess. Well Captain Singh, you probably won't have time to arrest Vibe anyway because you'll be too busy dealing with the mistake of hiring "Eddie" Thawne as a cop. Nice judge of character Captain. The Flash is shooting its pilot now.

First Trailer for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For!
The bad news is that the long awaited sequel/prequel to Robert Rodriguez's Sin City (2005) does not hit theaters until August 22nd, but the good news is we finally have a trailer! Thank the heavens, ever since this film was delayed I've been dying for some footage. Mickey Rourke is back!! Eva Green and Joesph Gordon-Levitt have arrived! Jessica Alba is back table dancing! And Josh Brolin is falling off a building to his demise! Now that is exciting stuff brought to you in all its Frank Miller noir glory.
New Captain America: The Winter Soldier Preview Footage!
Marvel Studios has released new footage from their upcoming political thriller Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The clip has shows about 3 never before seen minutes of Cap and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. boarding a ship. Watch Black Widow and Cap kick some bad guy ass, while also getting to wonder why Black Widow is obsessed with Cap's love life. I smell a "will they, wont they"! Captain America: The Winter Solider hits theaters April 4

Arrow "The Promise" Review/Thoughts!
It's Wednesday night! We all know what that means don't we. That's right its time for some Arrow. So as I said last week if you are not caught up, please do not read this article there will be spoilers, and you will be sorry. Anyways with out further adue here we go....
So in tonight's episode we saw a very different format. We mainly see flashbacks to the island in this episode as compared mostly seeing the present timeline. The episode begins with Slade, Ollie, and Sara planning to take over Anthony Ivo's (Dylan Neal) ship. The plan is to have Ollie shoot a flaming arrow onto a pile of wood to create a distraction bonfire. Ollie is captured by Ivo's men, and taken aboard as a prisoner. Once on the ship, Ivo injects Ollie with sodium pentathol (truth serum) to reveal the location of the Miracuru and Ollie's allies. Prior to boarding the ship though, Sara knew Ivo likes to use truth serum, so Ollie takes a solution that blocks the effects of the serum allowing the Ollie to fake it's effects and lie about the location of his allies. This allows Sara and Slade to come aboard and begin a massive battle to end Ivo once and for all. During this battle, Slade/Deathstroke uses his super strength and fighting skills to easily defeat Ivo's men. Then at last we see Ollie come face to face with Ivo bow cocked and arrow ready to fly. Suddenly, Ivo tries to turn the tables on Ollie by explains it is Ollie's fault Shado died because he gave him the choice to save Sara or Shado. At this point it is revealed that Slade has been standing there all along and now knows Ollie was responsible for the death of his sweet sweet Shado. Bringing us to a great battle over a women. This is Shakespearean type stuff. Romeo and Tybalt. Hamlet and Claudius. Slade and Ollie. Sara, the missionary Thomas, and some Russian dude escape the ship, but Ollie is stopped by Slade. He is grabbed by Slade and we just see the shear power and strength that he has as he slams Oliver back onto the ship with immense force. Ollie is taken prisoner, Slade takes over the ship, cuts Ivo's "shootin' hand" off, and promises Ollie that he will make his live crumble it shambles for what he has done.
Switching gears to the present day. In the present day scenes we see Slade, eye patch and all, taking a lovely tour around the Queen mansion. Ollie knows Slade wants to ruin his life so he calls in his troops. Sara, Dig, and Roy..yes folks Roy is in action, head to the mansion to stop Slade from harming the Queens. While on a tour of the house, Slade seems harmless (we know thats not true) and Oliver comes off as ill mannered. Sara and Roy show up and Slade is surprised to see Sara alive. Leaving the house, Slade promises he will be around more which can only mean bad things to come. Outside Dig is set up with a sniper rifle prepared take out Mr. Wilson once and for all, but he himself is knocked out. Slade knew all along and his "allies" have taken care of it. We then learn that the tour of the house was just a set up for Slade's surveillance cameras, so he now has The Queen's on video 24/7!!!

What I Liked
- I enjoyed the fighting on the island. Really saw Ollie come into his own, and the sheer power of Slade.
- Loved how it was mostly an island episode. We are really starting to understand Slade's action now.
- Slade is an evil genius. Who saw surveillance cameras coming??? Thought he just loved art.
- The Arrow vs Deathstroke fight when ever it happens will be outstanding and I cannot wait.
- The Deathstroke mask is awesome
- Mr. Wilson, where ever did you get that Lambo? Always like a villain who rides in style
What I did not Like
- The episode seemed much shorter than the other ones have been. Hopefully next week we get more
- I wish to see more Roy running with Arrow and Canary. Maybe next week perhaps?
What to expect in the upcoming episodes
Well given what we saw tonight, I think some things are certain. We will see a battle between Slade and Ollie in the present timeline.Now that Moria Queen has officially told Ollie to not show up at the house, is the demise of Oliver Queen being set motion? Will Slade and Moria some how work together to break down Oliver and take away everything he has loves and cares for. Looks like that could be the plan.
All in all, I give this episode a 9 out of 10 rating!

Gotham Casts a Young Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle!
The Wrap is reporting that Gotham has found it's Bruce Wayne in the form of David Mazouz (Touch). He will be a young, but wise beyond his years version of our Dark Knight. The report also includes that newbie actress Camren Bicondova will be portraying teenage pickpocket Selina Kyle. Carmen reminds me of a preteen Michelle Pfeiffer. How will the show runners incorporate these two as regulars? I have no idea, but on a positive note its nice to see Selina and Bruce be of a similar age. Could some we see some young love brewing? It could be like Aladdin expect Selina is the thief and Bruce is that prince that gets swept off his feet by a street rat. Then does that make Alfred the Genie? Wait, isn't this show about Jim Gordon? Never mind. Gotham will be filming its pilot soon that was written by Bruno Heller (Rome) and will be directed by Danny Cannon (Judge Dredd).

Avenger's Actress Scralett Johansoon is Pregnant!
Multiple media outlets have reported that actress Scarlet Johansson is expecting her first child with fiancee Romain Dauric. First off, congrats to the couple, but the reason this is a story is the fact that Avengers: Age of Ultron is expected to start shooting soon. So because of her pregnancy will ScarJo's role of Black Widow be significantly reduced for the sequel to 2012's smash hit? I would have to say yes, but this could actually be a blessing in disguise for director Joss Whedon. He will have one less character to deal with in this packed film. The Dark Knight Rises' actress Marion Cotillard was pregnant while filming her role as Miranda Tate/ Talia Al Ghul. Her role was reduced and that is how we got a Talia who dies in a truck crash. Joss Whedon will hopefully do a better job with Black Widow and maybe just limit her to other S.H.E.I.L.D. work or something of that nature. Once again congrats to the lovely couple. You can see Scarlett as Black Widow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier which opens 4/4/14.
