Avengers 4

Meanwhile, speaking of people named Grillo attached to the Marvel movieverse, Frank Grillo took to Instagram to note that anything he’s recently said about a potential return may not necessarily be true:
Kindred Spirits
Thora Birch is set to star in Kindred Spirits, the latest film from horror director Lucky McKee. Birch will play a a single mother named Chloe who gets in over her head after her sister, Sadie (Caitlin Stasey), supernaturally materialises after a long absence. [Deadline]
Alien 5
Speaking with THR, Sigourney Weaver said James Cameron still thinks Neill Blomkamp’s abandoned concept for a fifth Alien movie is “a great idea”.
We almost started to do it when I was working with James Cameron. But by the time we were put off by Fox, Neill had gotten so many jobs that we’d have to wait probably. I’m busy doing Avatar 4 and 5. I love working with Neill and I think he’d do a terrific job, and James Cameron really thinks it’s a great idea, so you never know. Right now, I think Neill’s got like three projects going at once.
