We’ve got loads to talk about in regards to several big FOX/Marvel films coming up in the next few months, starting first with the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Actress Cobie Smulders (who plays S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill) recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly and gave a bit more insight into her new role, now that the agency she once worked for has essentially been disbanded.
“She’s working for Tony Stark, yes, but they shot so many locations all over the world and this team is out doing all sorts of things. So I like to think that Maria is at headquarters, trying to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. And working for Tony Stark is a whole other ballgame. She doesn’t have S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel to back her up at her disposal, so it’s an entirely different vibe for her.” Smulders says.
On the X-Men front, Hugh Jackman sat down with the guys of MTV’s Happy Say Confused Podcast and teased whether or not Wolverine will indeed appear in the upcoming Apocalypse flick.
“I have been speaking to the guys, and I’m not at liberty to tell exactly what’s going on, which is largely framing my answer here…but there’s still a lot unknown about that, actually. There are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There’s some really cool things going on.” hinted Jackman.
Hugh also beamed when asked about the already confirmed third Wolverine film currently in the works, stating “…I’m very, very excited about that, actually.”
