In just one week, The Avengers: Age of Ultron will be hitting theaters here in the United States, even though it’s already started playing overseas. We’re eagerly awaiting to see how it progresses the Marvel cinematic universe and potentially sets up what will be a major conflict for our heroes in Captain America: Civil War. The sequel already has Robert Downey Jr. on board as Iron Man, and it will also see Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie and Jeremy Renner will also pop up as Black Widow, Falcon and Hawkeye, and Chadwick Boseman will debut as Black Panther. And now one more character will be back. ›››

Briefly: Back in February of 2014, months before The Equalizer had hit theaters, Sony Pictures was said to already be working on a sequel to the action thriller starring Denzel Washington. And at CinemaCon last night, the studio confirmed that the follow-up will indeed be moving forward with the script still coming from the first film’s writer, Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2, Mechanic). Washington will be back in the led role, and he’ll likely be the only returning cast member from the first film. As for director Antoine Fuqua, it’s not clear if he’ll be back behind the camera, but we’ll see how long this one takes to develop. ›››

It’s been a couple months since Sony Pictures struck a deal with Marvel Studios to share the iconic superhero Spider-Man, allowing him to enter the Marvel cinematic universe while Sony creates yet another franchise featuring a new version of Peter Parker. The last substantial update on the Spider-Man front pegged Drew Goddard to write and direct what will be the first film in a new franchise, beginning on the big screen July 28th, 2017. Since then, we’ve learned that Spider-Man will definitely be Peter Parker (not Miles Morales), but we’ve had no indication as to who may play the webcrawler. That changed today. ›››

We all thought we were done with High Frame Rate projection after The Hobbit, but it looks like that’s not the case. During Sony Picture’s annual presentation at CinemaCon this week, director Ang Lee appeared in a recorded video from the set of his new film based on the book Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. He talked about how making Life of Pi in 3D taught him how remarkable of a filmmaking tool 3D is. He has since explored new filmmaking technology even further, deciding to shoot this next film at 120 FPS (frames per second) and in 3D (again). No footage was shown, and they didn’t mention anything else about it being released in HFR, but it sounds like Lee is now getting into HFR after James Cameron and Peter Jackson. ›››
