Top 5 Stories For The Week Ending 05/31/2013


John C. Reilly Joining GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?
John C. Reilly will be playing Rhomann Dey, the Nova Corps Centurian and Abin Sur to Richard Ryder's Nova. This article is chock-full of over information and revelation including the presence of Wal Russ, the identity of the lead villain and a side-switching villain turned hero.

Glenn Close Joins GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY As Leader Of The Nova Corps
Days after John C. Reilly was announced as being in negotiations for the role of Rhomann Dey, Glen Close was announced as having officially joined the cast as head of the Nova Corps. Some are speculation that she'll be voicing the Worldmind but your guess is as good as mine.

Joss Whedon Assures Quicksilver's In THE AVENGERS 2 Despite X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
It looks as if Marvel Studios is foraging ahead with the use of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch despite the inclusion of one of those characters in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Does this story end here or does Fox have some legal recourse in mind?

Clearer Look At Sebastian Stan Costumed On Set Of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
Our first clear visual of the Winter Soldier's costume in action. There's definitely hints of the bionic arm but it's currently covered by a sleeve. If you look closely, there's even a nod to his domino mask above the face covering, perhaps once his identity is revealed he'll ditch that lower covering. If so, Sebastian Stan's look is straight out of the pages of Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier run.

DOCTOR WHO Star Karen Gillan Joins The Cast Of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY As Lead Villain
Marvel fans are already speculating on Gillan's role. Is she playing Thanos love-interest and cosmic power, Death? Perhaps there's more to Marvel's insertion of Angela in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic book? Or some knowledgeable fans in the comment section are saying she's playing an old Guardians of the Galaxy foe named Nebula.

"John C. Reilly will be playing Rhomann Dey"

This statement seems really definite, whereas every source you have says "negotiations". Do you have a source that says he actually got the role?

Damn, still can't find anything really announcing him being cast though. In the Glenn Close announcement, they simply list him in the cast. I'm not entirely doubting that he's in there, just like it when I read something official. Given how many times people make a leap with assumptions, I feel safer waiting for confirmation.

Pretty strange casting for Guardians, that's for damn sure.

Glen Close is a terrific actress and woman. Reilly seems pretty on the ball in stepbrothers..
I always wondered how cool it could be to have a super fast hero on screen.
I'll admit the smallville episode w kid flash and clark was good fun. And you know Joss will deliver something special.
Karen Gillian is a nice addition.
GOTG is pretty high for me in the anticipation department
Marvel is winning Captain America TWS looks really awesome. I still watch the first one all the time.
