Deadline has reported that Robert Redford, probably the most iconic actor alive today, is in talks to star in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." So, you know, how cool is that? That's literally the extent of the information Deadline has to give, but it's a rumor with big enough ramifications that we have to report on it and, obviously, have to start wildly speculating about. Who could Robert Redford be playing in the already jam packed "Captain America" sequel?

You can't have a comic book movie without a couple of cameos from the creators. In fact, Stan Lee's probably the most bankable actor in the world if you consider his cameos in nearly every Marvel film. While "Kick-Ass 2" skewers a lot of super-tropes, this is one trope that it's proudly embracing. New photos from the set of the film's epic battle (glimpsed in the film's trailer) show Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., two of the men behind the "Kick-Ass" comics, ready to rumble. The photos constitute mild spoilers, if you want to be kept in the dark about each creators' "Kick-Ass" makeover.

Nicolas Cage gained comic book fame as the lead character in two Ghost Rider films, but the actor actually came close to portraying the Man of Steel in the never-produced film "Superman Lives." With a script by Kevin Smith and visionary director Tim Burton behind the camera, the film was set to show the world a decidedly different take on the iconic character. The lost Superman film would have been released a decade before Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" and almost a decade after Burton's game-changing first "Batman" film.
Cage spoke with MTV News about the lost Superman epic and about the Kickstarter campaign to further examine "Superman Lives."

It's not easy being the son of Norman Osborn. But playing the son of Norman Osborn — when Oscar winner Chris Cooper is occupying the role — is a much more pleasant prospect for actor Dane DeHaan, who joins "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" as Peter Parker's good friend and future enemy, Harry Osborn.
DeHaan spoke with MTV News about signing on to play Harry in the "Amazing" sequel, citing his previous working relationship with Cooper as an excellent starting point for their dynamic as the Osborns.

"Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" is very much a movie for me. As a fan of co-directors Mark Neveldine and Bryan Taylor well before their Marvel adaptation, and as a fan of Nicolas Cage's signature brand of over-the-top performances, "Spirit of Vengeance" was a movie that worked for me on every level — or, at least, on the important ones.
That said, I am the first to admit that it's not a movie for everyone. Its 17% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com says it, too. With that statistic in mind, perhaps it's not surprising to hear that Cage is done making "Ghost Rider" movies.
"I think the ship has sailed on that one," Cage told MTV News at the recent press junket for "The Croods," his new animated movie from Fox and DreamWorks Animation. "At least with me involved."

Chris Pratt is Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy," but he wasn't the only actor vying for the lead in Marvel's intergalactic epic. Jim Sturgess of "Cloud Atlas" fame was one of the many men in contention for the part of Peter Quill, and during a recent interview with MTV News, he told us all about the process.
"I got way further than I'd ever imagined I possibly could," he told MTV while promoting "Upside Down," his new movie opening March 15. "As you get further and further down the line, you start caring about it more and more. The competitiveness in you starts kicking in. But I was amazed I'd gotten as far down the line as I did."

It might be time to stop poking fun at DC's planned "Justice League" movie. If a new report pans out as outlined, Warner Bros.' answer to Disney's Marvel Studios epics is very serious indeed.
El Mayimbe at Latino Review reports that Christopher Nolan is in talks with WB to godfather the DC Universe to the big-screen, not unlike his role on Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel." If a deal shakes out, Nolan would produce "Justice League" along with Snyder. Snyder might even direct the film, according to Mayimbe's report.
What's more, Mayimbe reports that Christian Bale is being courted to resume his role as Batman, despite the fact that he and Nolan retired the character in "The Dark Knight Rises." According to the report, Bale could share the screen with Henry Cavill in a "World's Finest" team-up flick ahead of "Justice League."
