MTV News caught up with actor Chris O'Dowd during the press junket for the animated epic "Epic." Since O'Dowd revealed via his Twitter account that he shot a date scene with Natalie Portman for "Thor: The Dark World," we just had to ask the actor about it. And while he doesn't say much about the scene (except for hinting that it may involve Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth), he did have a bit more to say about rumors that he may be up for the role of Daredevil.
Full disclosure: that's a one-man rumor that I cooked up for this article about working ol' hornhead into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I took a wild shot, saying that O'Dowd could play Matt Murdock in that date scene, and then fell in love with the idea of the Irish comedian playing Marvel's most put upon hero. And O'Dowd didn't shoot the crazy theory down!
"There's a lot of talk of that," he says, nodding. "Maybe some contract talk." Check out the video below, which also includes the fantastic Aziz Ansari.

Director Bryan Singer's Twitter feed has been producing some gold lately, with the director following up his first TwitPic of incoming "X-Men: Days of Future Past" actor Peter Dinklage with a first look at returning star Jennifer Lawrence, decked out in Mystique's signature shade of blue.
The character looks pretty much exactly as she did in "X-Men: First Class," even if the actress is now wearing a body suit instead of body paint. The suit looks great, as seen in the picture below; I can't tell the difference.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has found itself yet another star. New Zealand actor Marton Csokas is reportedly currently shooting an undisclosed part in the film.
The Hollywood Reporter tucked the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" news away in a story about how Csokas has been cast as the villain in the upcoming Denzel Washington-starring adaptation of "The Equalizer." Fans probably know Csokas best for playing the role of Celeborn in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, or for playing Borias in "Xena: Warrior Princess."

Is it possible for a TV spot to be better than a movie's actual trailer? That's the case with "R.I.P.D.," whose new TV teaser does a better job capturing our interest than the trailer that was released last month.
There's plenty of new footage in this spot and it just seems to work better -- and feel like less of a "Men in Black" rip-off -- than what was previously released. Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds seem to have some fun chemistry together, and it's nice that this TV spot plays up the comedy and action aspects of the film instead of just teasing its entire plot.

A rumor started floating around last week that Marvel was going to give Jeremy Renner the axe, leaving some purple Hawkeye boots to either fill or throw in the closet come "Avengers 2." This news hit me pretty hard, seeing as how I'm a very vocal supporter of Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye (and Hawkguy in general). But now there's an unnamed source saying that rumors of Renner's departure were greatly exaggerated! Aw yeah! So who has this exclusive story? It's... Perez Hilton? Oh... okay.
Listen, nothing against Perez Hilton, this is just the first time in Splash Page's lengthy history that we've reported on a story from that site, only because our world's rarely ever meet. But "The Avengers" is a big deal, and Renner being ousted would be a big story for any pop culture site. So if Perez Hilton has an unnamed source saying that Renner's good to go, I'm happy to spread the word.

After years of searching and seemingly dozens of candidates, the reboot of "The Crow" finally found its leading man in "Fast and Furious 6" actor Luke Evans. And now that Evans has started promoting the latest "Fast" film, interviewers are jumping at the chance to ask him about his future leading role in Javier Gutierrez's reboot. Empire got to Evans first, getting a little bit of insight into what drew the actor to the role.
"It's a great script, really great script, a fantastic director - Javier Gutierrez, a Spanish director whose work is fantastic," says Evans. "We've been chatting about it for a while now. It's been sort of simmering away and I have a lot of passion for that role. I remember it vividly from when I was a kid. It still resonates to this day."
