New Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer

Spider-Man head back to Marvel?
A rumor spread across the inter webs like wild fire. An article on the typically credible site, Latino Review, claimed that Sony and Marvel had agreed to a deal that would allow Spider-Man to join his Avengers team in the movies. While no official confirmation has been made, this did spark a huge debate in the Spoiler Room about who could play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Tom Hardy Exits Suicide Squad
Recasting continues as Tom Hardy dropped out of the 2016’s Suicide Squad. Not because Hardy didn’t want to be a part of another DC film, but like because his film schedule with Alejandro Innarito’s Reverant conflicted with Suicide Squad. It’s all good, though! Because apparently Jake Gyllenhaal is up to fill the Rick Flagg role, and if you’ve seen him lately, he’ll fit the part.
Marvel Announces Death of Deadpool
This week Marvel announced the Death of Deadpool, after teasing it to us here at Comicbook.com over an interview a few weeks ago.
