AGENT CARTERSpeaking of Marvel One-Shots, a new rumor has begun circulating that Hayley Atwell has signed on for an "Agent Carter" television series. The rumor began via the British tabloid The Mirror, which quotes an anonymous source as saying, "It's Marvel's big project of 2014, and it will be a big budget production."

It's definitely an unconfirmed rumor, so take it with a grain of salt -- but considering the reports about an "Agent Carter" series being in development, bringing Atwell onboard seems like it would be a logical first step to getting the series moving.

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PASTComic Book Movie has posted quotes from Hugh Jackman in the most recent print edition of Empire Magazine that characterizes "X-Men: Days of Future Past" as "the biggest movie Fox has made outside of Avatar."

As for Wolverine's status in the film, Jackman wasn't able to give much away, but did state, "He's a warrior and he can't hide from that anymore, even if the consequences are going to be messy and painful. If there's an era for Wolverine, it's the '70s. The hair, the mutton chops, you can smoke cigars everywhere...everything about Wolverine seems more at home in the '70s."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIERMarvel has officially released nine images from "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" -- some old, some new -- featuring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Robert Redford and more.

In the most recent issue of Empire Magazine, screenwriter Christopher Markus discussed the Boy Scout image of Captain America and how it's explored in "The Winter Soldier."

"What helps us get past the pious Boy Scout that he could turn into is that he doesn't really want to be this guy," Markus told Empire. "He would prefer to be Steve Rogers just walking down the street, helping people sometimes. ... He's kind of the still centre and things happen around him and are influenced by him. It's interesting in this movie, for instance, to watch his relationship with Black Widow, who of course has a very different outlook. It can make it difficult with executives who often want arcs. It's very difficult not to sound lazy when you go, 'Well, he doesn't really have an arc.'"
