Going by the TwitPic below, one could assume that Dave Bautista has begun his transformation into Drax the Destroyer for Marvel's cosmic film, "Guardians of the Galaxy." The wrestler turned actor tweeted a picture of himself undergoing a makeup session for an undisclosed project. The makeup looks a lot like Drax's signature eye markings.
For all the maybe-Drax-y goodness, check out the tweet and photo below.

Russell Crowe saw a finished cut of "Man of Steel" earlier this week and immediately took to Twitter to praise the film and his co-stars. In a series of tweets, the actor reflects on the film's many big moments and contemplates what the future holds for the relatively unknown leading man, Henry Cavill. Crowe, who plays Superman's father Jor-El, expressed a kindly and fatherly thought towards the actor playing Superman, tweeting:
Just contemplating how massive the change in life young Henry Cavill is about to deal with. @manofsteelmovie is excellent
— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) May 15, 2013
Crowe has plenty of reason for contemplation. Superman is possibly the most iconic role an actor can play, other than maybe James Bond (and I'd argue that Superman is more iconic than Bond). Prior to portraying the Man of Steel, Cavill was best known as Guy Who's Not Jonathan Rhys Meyers on Showtime's "The Tudors." Cavill's in the big leagues now. You can check out the rest of Crowe's "Man of Steel" tweets below.

"The Wolverine" director James Mangold has been using his Twitter feed to talk a walk down memory lane, posting pictures from the film's production as the film nears it's July 26 release date.
Two of the tweets below show the director himself on set, directing actors and action sequences. Another tweet was taken this week, and announces that the film's score recording and sound mixing has begun. And the last tweet shows off Hugh Jackman getting up close and personal with Hiro Sanada. There aren't any major revelations to be found in any of the tweets, but it's still nice to see "The Wolverine" get a Twitter treatment similar to "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
You can check out all four Tweets below.

I thought I had it all figured out. Judging by the wardrobe tests Bryan Singer has tweeted out, it seemed like production on "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was starting with the future/modern day X-Men. The costumes are all fairly post-apocalyptic. But now the director has tweeted an image that throws that assumption out the window.
We just saw Professor X's 1973 look late last week, and now we have another peek at yesteryear. Only this time it shows off our first look at returning actor Nicholas Hoult as the Beast alongside Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. You can check out the full tweet and photo after the jump, as well as a list of reasons why this photo changes everything.

Move over Jamie Foxx, there's a new Spider-Man bad guy on set. But also, seriously, move over, because he's driving an 18-wheeler and doesn't seem all that cautious.
"Amazing Spider-Man 2" director Marc Webb tweeted a picture of Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich over the weekend. Sytsevich is better known as the Rhino, but we're still in the dark about what exactly Giamatti's Rhino suit will look like. But for now we have a Twitter picture as well as a few other shots of the villain in action, which you can check out below.

I thought that the future X-Men's wardrobe was shocking? I hadn't seen anything yet. Bryan Singer has tweeted the first look at one of the 1973 X-Men and boy is it 1973. Like Foghat/Eagles/Supertramp level 1973. This movie is not messing around when it comes to period authenticity.
James McAvoy is shown hanging out on set, sitting in what we can only assume is Patrick Stewart's Professor X wheelchair, if only because it's so modern looking. The whole package is just beyond belief. The hair, the beard, the shirt and pants. Forget whatever Xavier said in "X-Men: First Class," this wardrobe is a groovy mutation.
Check out the full tweet and picture below. Warning: Professor X might look a lot like your dad did in those pictures he's embarrassed about.

Director Bryan Singer has tweeted a picture from the set of "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which is currently shooting in Canada. The set-up is, as singer says, more reminiscent of mission control than a film set thanks to the film being shot in both 3D and Simul-Cam.
Simul-Cam technology has been employed in films like "Avatar," "Real Steel" and "Jack the Giant Slayer" to effortlessly blend CGI and live action footage. You can check out the full picture and tweet below.

Another week, another TwitPic Round Up for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"! If you aren't following director Marc Webb on Twitter yet, can you really call yourself an "Amazing Spider-Man" fan? The guy posts a new set photo for pretty much every day of the film's shoot. Sure, not all of them offer insight into the film's plot, like the time he debuted Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon, but they're almost always entertaining.
Today's batch starts off with maybe the best TwitPic yet, one that shows our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man chatting with a fan better known as the Amazing Spider-Fan.

The teases keep on coming from Bryan Singer's Twitter feed, with his iPhone camera now centering squarely on Ellen Page as she reprises her role as Kitty Pryde in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
The TwitPic is the latest in a series of sneak peeks Singer has given us of actors onset, including Wolverine, Storm, Iceman and Professor X. These photos all show off what appears to be the X-Men's new unifying look: drab brown leather and dark suede. So... step up?
Check out the full tweet and picture of Kitty Pryde below.

Director Bryan Singer has provided fans with another sneak peek at one of the many mutant stars of next summer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past." This time Singer has turned his Twitter spotlight to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine... well, more like Wolverine's back.
In the latest Tweet from the director, Wolverine's back can be seen during a fitting. It looks like the actor has even ditched his classic black leather look for one closer to the character's original "Days of Future Past" look. That means out with the black leather and in with the brown. Check out the full tweet and photo below.
