Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed! Last Updated: July 22, 2013
As mentioned earlier, Marvel had more up their Comic-Con sleeves than just Avengers and killer robots from the future, and the most surprising had to have been their Guardians of the Galaxy panel. Everybody expected the cast to be there, and some mysterious castings to be confirmed, but audiences in Hall were then pleasantly shocked when director James Gunn treated them …
Following on from the awesomeness that is Tom Hiddleston as a scenery chewing Loki is no easy task, but that’s exactly what was asked of the Captain America: The Winter Soldier panel after it followed the thunderous one for Thor: The Dark World. And for those few lucky enough (and determined/batsh!t crazy enough to stand in a queue for more than 12 hours) …
While it was certainly enjoyable enough, there are admittedly many things wrong with the first Thor movie. Tom Hiddleston being cast as the manipulative Loki, is simply not one of them.

The Avengers weren’t the only time travelling superheroes hanging out in Hall H at Comic-Con on Saturday, as Fox hosted a panel for James Mangold’s upcoming The Wolverine and Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, with not only the full cast for the latter (which includes Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine) in attendance, but also some amazing sounding footage shown for both films. …

This time though, it’s not Superman’s fault, but instead that big ol’ Japanese icon, Gojirra. Or Godzilla to us damn outsiders. The big, green nuclear-powered lizard of tomorrow made his presence known back at Comic Con 2012, and …
Let’s be frank: We haven’t exactly been kind to Jose Padilha’s Robocop remake around here. The combination of our love of Paul Verhoeven’s original film, and early script reports that sounded as if the folks involved had no idea what the original movie was about, meant that we as much patience for it as Darryn has with old ladies at the …
And now for something completely different! Between all the capes and shiny spandex at Comic Con this weekend, the North American box office saw plenty of new arrivals. Spooky vistations, super-fast snails, retired secret agents and a few dead ones hit the cinemas with a vengeance this weekend. But when the dust settled, it was the supernatural that reigned …
