DEADPOOL
While speaking with Collider, screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick spoke about what's up ahead in the "Deadpool" sequel.
"I think there's a real conceptual difference between taking other characters and big things and bringing them into Deadpool's reasonably small, gritty world and the opposite, taking Deadpool and placing him among big ensembles who are fighting aliens or in the future where he and Cable are doing something in the future," said Reese. "I think if Cable and Deadpool team up, it will likely be in Deadpool's world. That allows us to control that budgetary thing a little more; I don't think we're gonna see Deadpool and Cable on some far-flung planet 300 years from now because I just feel like that's gonna be expensive, A, and will also take away from the relatability of Deadpool. I think at this stage in the game it's about taking other people and dropping them into this reasonably insular, gritty, urban, dark world of Deadpool."
io9 has also confirmed with concept artist Emmanuel Shiu that the third act battle in "Deadpool" does indeed take place on a Helicarrier. Helicarriers are the signature floating base of S.H.I.E.L.D. and are prominently featured in Marvel Studios' films; notably, Fox does not own the film rights to Helicarriers, so Shiu was asked to make this version look as different as possible from the ones in the Marvel movies, and to also make it look like parts of it had been disassembled.
Ryan Reynolds has posted a Korean ad for "Deadpool" to his Facebook page.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
As reported by Yahoo!, the next issue of D23 Magazine features an interview with Chris Evans about his role as the lead of a large ensemble of "Civil War."
"Even though there are a lot characters, the focus is on Steve and his struggle," he explained. "Especially his struggle with Tony Stark... It's exciting to see a guy who's as optimistic and as selfless as Steve be met with letdown, betrayal, frustration, and selfishness. There are events and people in his life that test him -- that challenge him and force him to reevaluate who he is and what he wants out of life."
"We've seen it coming," added Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. "The clues were there. When you watch the other films you see how Captain America and Iron Man fight the bad guys together, back-to-back, but they have differences. And there is something that happens in the world that divides them."

SUICIDE SQUAD
Viola Davis spoke with Vanity Fair about her time working on "Suicide Squad," and how she reacted to all of Jared Leto's... "unique"... gifts.
"The Joker, he did some bad things. Jared Leto did," said Davis. "He gave some really horrific gifts. He had henchmen that would come into the rehearsal room and the henchmen came in with a dead pig and plopped it on the table, then he walked out. And that was our introduction into Jared Leto... Now I'm terrified as a person thinking 'Is he crazy?' but the second part was 'Oh shit! I got to have my stuff together.' You talk about commitment and then he sends Margot Robbie a black rat. It was still alive in a box, she screamed, and then she kept it."

THOR: RAGNAROK
Jaimie Alexander spoke with Variety about her role as Sif in the "Thor" films -- but she didn't confirm whether or not we'll see Sif again in "Raganrok."
"I genuinely love the character Sif," said Alexander. "Each time I get to play her, there's this growth in the character and we find out more of who she is. That is a blast, because I've been able to slowly create this woman while still taking directions from all the comic books that existed before my performance. It's interesting that Sif has such a big backstory, whereas ['Blindspot's'] Jane has no backstory at all; they're very opposite while at the same time both very tough and vulnerable. It's a bit of a niche for me, I guess."
Alexander said she was not at all disappointed that she lost the Wonder Woman role to Gal Gadot. "I'm a huge comic book fan, and I've read a lot from all different comic book outlets," she said. "I enjoy Marvel, and I'm not just saying that because I'm in the 'Thor' films. I gravitate towards the Marvel characters. Of course, growing up I really loved Linda Carter as Wonder Woman; there will never be a better Wonder Woman. I was also a huge fan of Sigourney Weaver. Walt Simonson told me that his version of Lady Sif was very much modeled after seeing Sigourney Weaver walk down the New York streets in a red trench coat. I thought, 'Oh, well she's my favorite, so that's perfect. That's just so perfect for me."
