Marvel Casts KICK-ASS Actress Lyndsy Fonesca For AGENT CARTER

Marvel has announced another film to television addition to their growing Agent Carter cast. They've added Kick-Ass and Hot Tub Time Machine actress Lyndsy Fonesca to the main lineup as Angie Martinelli. Fonesca is no stranger to holding a weapon being apart of the action series Nikita. The show is actually casting many actors from the movies, which is sort of smart on their part. Considering what happened with Agents of SHEILD getting unknowns for roles didn't exactly help ratings. It's nice to see Marvel hiring another actress with action and weapons experience. However, she'll be playing a waitress and aspiring actress.

James D'Arcy Added To The Cast Of Marvel's AGENT CARTER As Original Jarvis

Variety reports that British actor James D'Arcy (Jupiter Ascending, Cloud Atlas, Survivor) has joined the cast of Marvel's Agent Carter. He'll be playing the role of Edwin Jarvis, butler to Howard Stark and ally to Peggy Carter. This would seemingly confirm that Howard is indeed going to be involved in the series, but we haven't heard if Dominic Cooper is reprising the role. However, Marvel has spent a lot of effort to setup the fact that Stark was an integral part of founding SHIELD.

This is just another hint to the level of talented casting Marvel is aiming for with the new series. In my opinion, a giant set-up from the original casting of Agents of SHIELD. Hiring legitimate and current film actors for key roles will only help keep to standards of the Marvel cinematic universe. The first episodes of Agent Carter will start airing on ABC during the mid-season hiatus for Agents of SHIELD.

Dominic Cooper Could Join Noomi Rapace And Colin Farrell In 'DEAD MAN DOWN'

Variety reports that British actor Dominic Cooper (Captain America, Devil's Double, Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) is now in talks to join gangster flick Dead Man Down. The film from director Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) re-teams him with Swedish actress Noomi Rapace (Sherlock Holmes 2, Prometheus) and stars Colin Farrell (Total Recall, Fright Night). It focuses on a man  (Farrell) that infiltrates a gang to seek revenge for the murder of his family leading him to meet a woman (Rapace) who has similar intentions.

Gerard Butler Latest Actor Set For Motor City

Variety reports that Warner Bros. might have finally found their lead actor for Albert Hughes' Motor City. Previously actors such as Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Dominic Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaal had be involved with the role but ultimately walked form the project. They say that Scottish action star Gerard Butler (300) in now in negotiations to take on the main role.  Gary Oldman is set for the villain while Amber Heard is playing the female lead.

Butler recently signed on for the White House action film Oylmpus Has Fallen and is expected to have a cameo in 300: Battle of Artemisia. I really hope there is a resurrection of Butler's action career as he hasn't exactly made the best decisions with his last couple of films.

Jeremy Renner Could Be Heading To Motor City

Twitch reports that Jeremy Renner (Avengers) is the current actor being pursued for the lead in Warner Bros' Motor City. Previously Dominic Cooper was attached until he dropped out and Jake Gyllenhaal had been in talks but walked. The site also points out that Renner is still aiming for role in Ridley Scott's The Counselor opposite Michael Fassbender. If he joins that project WB will have to look for another actor. Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Zombieland) and Gary Oldman (Dark Knight Rises) are currently locked in for roles.

Jake Gyllenhaal Replaces Dominic Cooper In Motor City

Variety reports that Jake Gyllenhaal (Source Code, End of Watch) is in negotiations to replace Dominic Cooper as the lead in Motor City. The thriller from Albert Hughes (From Hell, Dead Presidents, Book of Eli) focuses on an ex-con who hunts down the man that framed him and stole the love of his life. Gary Oldman is set to play the villain and Amber Heard (Pineapple Express, Drive Angry) will play the female lead of the film.

UPDATE: Multiple sources are revealing that Gyllenhaal has backed out of talks. So it's looks like the project has lost it's second lead.

Joel Kinnaman Cast As Lancelot In Arthur & Lancelot

HeatVision reports that Joel Kinnaman has landed the role of Lancelot in Warner Bros' Arthur & Lancelot. It had been reported that Joel and Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones) were the front-runners of the film. The studio will now have Joel do chemistry reads with other candidates that include Kit Harrington, Sam Claflin (On Stranger Tides, Snow White & The Huntsman), Dominic Cooper (Captain America, Devil's Double), Hans Matheson (Sherlock Holmes), Jim Sturgess, Ben Walker (Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Paradise Lost) and Liam Hemsworth (Expendables 2). This very well means that Joel is now out of the running for Steven Soderbergh's The Man From UNCLE.

Joel Kinnaman & Kit Harington Front-Runners For Arthur & Lancelot

It was surprising when Warner Bros. axed potential remakes of Excalibur from both Bryan Singer (X-Men 1-2, Jack The Giant Killer, Usual Suspects) and Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes 1-2, Snatch) to more forward with Arthur & Lancelot. A new "grounded" take on the classical tale from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin was chosen instead with a budget around $90 million. It seemed a bit brash considering the talent behind the Excalibur projects but you never know with these things. I never thought comedy director Ruben Fleischer would end up making Gangster Squad. Since Ruben's credits only include Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less but it seems like the studio is giving chances to let directors branch out.

There is finally some interesting news casting-wise as ThePlaylist reports that Joel Kinnaman (Snabba Cash, The Killing) and Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) have come out as front-runners for the leads. It's unknown who is expected in what part but there is also a list of other candidates that includes names like Sam Claflin (Pirates 4, Snow White & The Huntsman, Dominic Cooper (Devil's Double, Captain America), Hans Matheson (Sherlock Holmes, Clash of The Titans), Jim Sturgess (50 Dead Men Walking, Cloud Atlas), Ben Walker (Paradise Lost, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) and Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games, Expendables 2). Joel Kinnaman was recently toted as Steven Soderbergh's choice for the second lead in The Man From UNCLE which is being produced by David Dobkin. I expect Kit's rather large international following from Game of Thrones doesn't hurt his chances either.

Actors Start Testing For Bourne Legacy

Deadline reports that Tony Gilroy's Bourne Legacy is heating up as the first group of actors to test have been revealed. They include Joel Edgerton (The Thing, Animal Kingdom, Warrior, King Aurthur), Luke Evans (Three Musketeers, The Raven, Immortals), Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy, Troy) and Dominic Cooper (Captain America, An Education).

Joel and Luke are my favorites of this group. Cooper doesn't seem a good fit for the Bourne franchise. Garrett has been linked to other films like Akira and Daredevil so I'm not sure how interest he would be.
