Lots of Marvel movie news, which we round up here in one easy read.
Captain America 3 will go head-to head against Batman vs. Superman; both movies are opening on May 6, 2016, according to Hollywood Reporter. Marvel had reserved the date for an un-named movie, but Warner Bros. was not deterred, selecting it as the date for its next big film when it was moved back from 2015 (see "Ouch! 'Superman / Batman' Movie Bumped to 2016"). Marvel has not officially announced that Cap 3 will use the date; THR is citing "sources."
Sebastian Stan, who played Bucky in Captain America: The First Avenger and is playing the Winter Soldier in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, now is in a nine picture deal with Marvel, he told Newsarama this week. That was a six-picture deal back in 2012 when his participation in Captain America: The Winter Soldier was announced (see "Sebastian Stan Returns as Bucky in 'Winter Soldier'"), so the studio must have liked what it’s seen, and have plans for a lot of appearances of his character in future films.
There are two post-credit scenes in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, according to Collider, including one directed by Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon. The other post-credit scene was directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Marvel is preparing for some Gangnam-style shooting for Avengers: Age of Ultron in and around Seoul, South Korea, according to Hollywood Reporter. Locations include the famous Gangnam district, bridges over the Han River through the heart of Seoul, Sangam DMC, and Yongsan. Marvel is expected to sign an agreement with several local agencies, including the Korean Film Council, for arrangements related to the shoot. Marvel’s already shot in Johannesburg; principle photography is at Shepperton Studios near London.
One member of the Avengers: Age of Ultron cast will have a short trip to the set for the South Korea shoot. Korean actress Kim Soo Hyun has been cast in a "substantial supporting" role in the film, according to Comic Book Movie.
