Okay, let’s see. Emily Blunt is going to play Black Widow in the next Iron Man movie. As everyone knows, Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard as Rhodey. Mickey Rourke is playing Whiplash. Samuel L Jackson might not be in the sequel like everyone originally thought. Tim Robbins is still a rumour, but Sam Rockwell has been confirmed as Justin Hammer. The fans for some reason have been wanting/keep mentioning the Mandarin (who was apparently indirectly referenced in the first) and Crimson Dynamo.

Rachel Weisz looks like she’ll be nabbing the role of Catwoman in the next Batman movie. Rumours of the Riddler are rife, with names like Johnny Depp and David Tennant (yeah, the latter is an oooooold rumour).

More cast members confirmed for the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland. We already knew Australian Mia Wasikowska (In Treatment TV Series, Defiance, Rogue) would be Alice, that Johnny Depp would be the Mad Hatter (not exactly surprising) and Helena Bonham Carter will be the Red Queen. Well, since then, this is what has been confirmed:

• Anne Hathaway – the White Queen
• Michael Sheen (Underworld, Frost/Nixon) - the Cheshire Cat
• Alan Rickman – Caterpillar (he’d be pretty good in that role)
• Crispin Glover (Charlie’s Angels) – the Knave of Hearts
• Matt Lucas (Little Britain) – Tweedledee and Tweedledum

Other cast members include Christopher Lee (unknown character), Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; she will play Aunt Imogen) and Eleanor Tomlinson (while in a couple of small things and had a small role in The Illusionist as the younger version of Jessica Biel’s character, she’s best known for Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. She’ll be playing Fiona Chataway).

Kristen Bell’s been busy. She’s got SIX movies in the works. One is Astro Boy. I’m really hoping they’ll release Fanboys out here soon. There might even be a Veronica Mars movie, if we’re lucky.

I’ll post more movie news later.
