Earlier this year Marc Webb confirmed that B.J. Novak from The Office had joined the cast of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Since then, nothing has really been revealed about the character he plays.

In a recent interview with The Huffington Post, Novak teased his character a bit, saying,

“I’m in a couple of scenes. Yeah, I was never told whether or not I could say. I can say that I work at Oscorp. And I am someone from the comic books, someone from the original. So, yeah, I’m somebody. I wouldn’t say I’m pivotal, but I’m not an extra, either.”

Makes me wonder if he will eventually end up being one of the Sinister Six in the upcoming sequel planned. Maybe Doc Oc or the Vulture? Who knows, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. Who do you think Novak is playing in the franchise?

The movie opens up in theaters on May 2nd, 2014, and judging from the trailer that was released yesterday, the movie is going to be awesome!

Yesterday, Bryan Singer announced a new X-Men movie called X-Men: Apocalypse, which will be coming May 27th, 2016. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the movie introduce the villain Apocalypse. Thank’s to Firstshowing.net, we have some SPOILER filled information for you about X-Men: Days of Future Past and how it will tease the X-Men: Apocalypse sequel in the end credits sequence. They even provide details on how the scene plays out, so if you don’t want it spoiled for you, then don’t read ahead!

The site got confirmation from two different sources, and received a copy of one of the most recent drafts of the script for Days of Future Past. The source explained to them that “an existing X-Men character will become possessed by the villain who can project his consciousness and powers into host bodies.” This is some really exciting stuff for X-Men fans! Now do you want to know how the post-credits sequence plays out? If you’ve come this far, then of course you want to know! So here it is…

“However, the credits bumper jumps back to the past with a young Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) in a ramshackle house in the desert eating dinner, clearly on the run from all the authorities who want to bring him down. While using a well outside to get some water, the young Magneto sees something fall from the night sky and crash to Earth nearby. Upon inspecting the impact zone, he encounters what is described as an ‘alien form’ who is ‘towering, terrifying, with a twisted metal face and dark pits for eyes.’ It’s Apocalypse and he says, ‘I have crossed rivers of time to find you.’ Magneto asks, ‘Who are you?’

“The alien responds, ‘I am your future.’ Suddenly Apocalypse merges with Magneto, who screams and blasts an insane amount of energy and shockwaves around him. This energy explosion levels everything around him, with a blast radius that goes for miles. As Magneto looks at what he’s done, he has a realization of the power he now holds and a villainous grin begins to form before the film cuts to black.”

It’s safe to assume that many of the cast members from X-Men: Days of Future past will return for Apocalypse. Bleeding Cool reports that many of them will return, so it will be interesting to see how the story will bring the past and present X-Men together again.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what Singer is planning for his next movie, but I’m sure it will be awesome! Fox’s X-Men movie plans are kicking into high gear, and it’s exciting stuff!

In the comic book version of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Kitty Pryde was the character sent back in time to set things right for the future. In the movie adaptation, Wolverine is the one sent back in time to do it. In a recent interview with Total Film, writer Simon Kinberg explains why they made the change. Here’s what he said,

“We made the decision for a lot of reasons, some of them obvious and some of them more nuanced, to make it Wolverine who goes back in time. One reason is that he’s the protagonist of the franchise, and probably the most beloved character to a mass audience. Probably the bigger reason is that when we started thinking about the logistical realities of Kitty’s consciousness being sent back in time, to her younger self, as opposed to her physical body being sent back..it was impossible. Obviously in the book it’s Kitty..but you’re talking about an actress (Ellen Page) who, in the age of Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, would have been negative 20 years old. So we started thinking again, and the first reflex response to that was a character who doesn’t age. Wolverine is the only character who would looks the same in 1973 as he does in the future.”

That makes complete sense to me. I haven’t really seen anyone complain about the change, but just in case you were wondering why they did it… there it is!

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens in theaters on May 23rd, 2014. You can watch the trailer here if you want to remind you of the awesomeness that awaits.
