Unlike regular writer James, I am all in favour of the current Daniel Craig-led James Bond series getting back a little bit of that superspy spark that it lost when the franchise was rebooted with Casino Royale.

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: February 10, 2015

Yesterday we got the terrible news, courtesy of the recent Sony hack, confirming the rumours that Sony and Marvel were in fact in negotiations to co-produce a new Spider-Man trilogy with Marvel wanting to actually bring Spidey into their cinematic universe to debut in Captain America: Civil War.
