Benicio Del Toro in Talks to Star in Shane Black's THE PREDATOR

Benicio Del Toro is in negotiations to star in The Predator, the reboot of the alien action movie series that Shane Black is directing for 20th Century Fox. Plot details are being kept hidden in mud but the new movie is said to be an ensemble piece anchored by the character to be played by Del Toro.

The actor and the studio have been dancing for months around this project, but one challenge has been been Del Toro's schedule. That stumbling block looks to have been cleared and a February start date is being planned.

Black, who last wrote and directed The Nice Guys and created the Lethal Weapon movies, wrote the treatment for the script of the Predator reboot, which was written by Fred Dekker, Black's university chum with whom he wrote 1987’s Monster Squad.

For Del Toro, if a deal is made, Predator will continue his franchise-movie streak. The actor has for years worked in gritty dramas but recently has started to branch out into more populist fare. He appeared in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and is slated to appear in Star Wars: Episode VIII. He also starred in 2015’s Sicario, and now that has the potential to become its own franchise as a sequel — titled Soldado and focused on Del Toro’s assassin character — is in active development.

Bryan Singer Confirms Mister Sinister Will Be in WOLVERINE 3

At the end of X-Men: Apocalypse, fans learned that one of the biggest baddies at Marvel Comics might be heading to franchise. The post-credit scene teased the introduction of Nathaniel Essex who is better known by the name Mister Sinister. The obsessive scientist stands as one of the X-Men’s greatest villains, and now, it looks like the character has been confirmed for Wolverine 3.

Earlier this week, the Digital HD release of Apocalypse went live and contained several bonus features such as an audio commentary with Simon Kinberg and director Bryan Singer. And, in that commentary, Singer said the Mister Sinister teaser at the end of the film was to prep audiences for Wolverine 3.

This reveal isn’t a complete surprise to most fans given the teaser in Apocalypse, but the official confirmation is nice to have.

As for who will play the character, there’s been no word. However, given Singer’s confirmation, many are speculating that Richard E. Grant will portray the crazed villain. When the actor was cast in April, his role was described as that of a “mad scientist,” a term which aptly encompasses Mister Sinister. However, fans can’t be sure whether Mister Sinister will be the central villain of Wolverine 3 just yet.

Fox Buys Stan Lee Life Rights for 1970s-Set Action Adventure Movie

Stan Lee's story is coming to the big screen. Yes, the iconic creator of many of Marvel Comics' most beloved characters has made countless appearances in films. But this time, it’s a slice of Lee’s life that is getting the cinematic treatment — though not in the way you might expect.

Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises, has acquired Lee's life rights with a goal of creating a period action-adventure movie, THR has learned.

Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, the producers behind such movies as Twilight, The Maze Runner andthe upcoming Power Rangers, are attached to produce what is described as being in the tone of Kingsman: The Secret Service or, as one insider put it, "Roger Moore’s 007."

The project will be no biopic, but rather an adventure with Lee as the main character. Kingsman and Moore-era James Bond movies had dapper heroes who quipped one-liners — and, in Moore’s case, flirted with the ladies — as they sparred with larger-than-life evildoers.

No writer has been hired to flesh out the story, so the project's existing details could morph. Exec Matt Reilly is overseeing for Fox.

I listened to a few hours of the audiobook and was bored.

Hopefully the movie would be far far better.

I'll watch it.

I'd watch Dakota Johnson read the news.

The first film was unspeakably bad but I find her irresistible.

DOCTOR STRANGE Run Time Revealed; New Poster Released

The running time for Marvel's next endeavor in their Cinematic Universe has been revealed. The Benedict Cumberbatch headlined Doctor Strange will run 130 minutes according to Event Cinemas (via Comicbook.com), an Australian theater chain. Two hours and ten minutes sounds about right for a Marvel film.

You know, his boots really, really bother me; all the buckles are just too busy. I would have preferred something more sleek and elegant.

He's a sorcerer, not a commando.

ANARCHY! ANARCHY!

I don't know what it means but I love it!

I can't even really understand what the idea is. Just some stylish ladies man driven action flick, only it's Stan Lee? Not just inspired by, a reimagining of, or parody of Stan, but literally Stan Lee? To the point where his life story rights were purchased?

I'm guessing it's a double-agent scenario where Stan's secret life.inspires the comics he created, kind of like fighting a guy using ropes inspired Spiderman, some crazed military guy making himself half machine inspired Ironman, basically just adventures formed around possible inspiration for his comics.

But if they plan.on directly referencing characters, do they need more than his life story rights? This is all so confusing. But I love Stan and batshit crazy ideas, so I'm in.
