Avatar 2-5

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, James Cameron revealed Kate Winslet is playing a member of the Reef People.

She’s very excited about it. She blazed through for a couple of days of rehearsals and saw the world that we had created, and how we do the work, and she’s very excited. She plays a character who’s part of the Sea People, the reef people. The one thing she did do is demand that she do all her own water work. I said, “All right, that’s fine, we’ll have to teach you how to free dive.”

In the same interview, Cameron admitted Avatar 4 and 5 aren’t set in stone, and will depend largely on how well the first two sequels perform theatrically.

Let’s face it, if Avatar 2 and 3 don’t make enough money, there’s not going to be a 4 and 5. They’re fully encapsulated stories in and of themselves. It builds across the five films to a greater kind of meta narrative, but they’re fully formed films in their own right, unlike, say, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, where you really just had to sort of go, “Oh, sh*t, all right, well I guess I better come back next year.” Even though that all worked and everybody did.


Multiple Man

Speaking with THR, James Franco promised a “hard R” Jamie Madrox movie.

Our bottom line MO is, how can we push this into new ground? A little bit, but still make it entertaining? [But] what I love about what Simon Kinberg and Fox and the X-Men people have done with Deadpool and Logan – it took a while to get there, maybe 10 years – but they are going to go hard R. And we’re going to take this superhero thing and really just push it into a new genre. So we’re working with Simon Kinberg on an X-Men property.


Avengers: Infinity War

Over the course of four collectable variants, The Avengers assemble on the cover of Vanity Fair to kickoff the MCU-as-we-know-it’s farewell tour.

In further news, Jeremy Renner posted a set photo of himself wearing peculiar undereye masks (?) on Instagram.

Prepped and ready on set! #avenging #hawkeye #stretchitout #marvel #infinitywars

More Details On Kate Winslet’s Mysterious Avatar 2 Character

The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley – Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.

Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story.

An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity’s darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning…

Twice Upon A Time is written by Steven Moffat, directed by Rachel Talalay, and executive produced by Brian Minchin. The 60 minute special guest stars Mark Gatiss as The Captain and Nikki Amuka-Bird as the voice of the glass woman, and will see Peter Capaldi’s Doctor regenerate into the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker).
