While Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana signed up for more than one Avatar movie when they first agreed to appear in the record-grossing movie, it’s believed the time it’s taken to get a follow-up ready has resulted in their deals lapsing and they weren’t contracted for the three more films that James Cameron now has planned anyway.
That said, it’s still not too surprising that Worthington and Saldana have finalised deals to appear in all three Avatar sequels, which will be shot back-to-back with Avatar 2 arriving in December of 2016, followed by Avatar 3 in 2017 and Avatar 4 in 2018.
The only actor we’ve officially known would be back before is Stephen Lang, who played the villain Marine Colonel Quaritch. As his character died at the end of the first movie, its not known how he’ll be resurrected.
Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are penning the third installment, while Shane Salerno is tackling the fourth film, all working from the overall story arc that James Cameron came up with. While it’s known the films will return to Pandora, no story details have officially been revealed. However it’s been said the film will explore far more of Pandora and it’s believed Jake Sully and Neytiri will have had kids.
James Cameron commented,”Jake Sully is a rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they’ll be returning with us to Pandora.” (Source: THR)
For quite a while Johnny Depp was attached to a biopic of Whitey Bulger, but it all seemed to fall through last year and he left the film behind. Now 
Just a day after it was announced that Michael Douglas had joined the cast of Ant-Man, another actor is in the mix, as 
After the release of each Scorsese movie for the last few years, it’s been said he would make Silence next. The fact he constantly kept putting off making the movie even led to a court case where some of the producers claimed it was taking too long and Scorsese’s hold on the material was preventing them from actually getting the film made.
You’d think that with only two and a half months until the release, it would be a little late for Darren Aronofsky to be adding new actors to Noah. However 
They’ve also hired Simon Kinberg to produce the adaptation and oversee the development, although no screenwriter or director has been attached yet. Kinberg has written the likes of Sherlock Holmes and X-Men: Days Of Future Past, so he may take on the job himself, but at the moment he’s just down to produce.
Sony Pictures has spent the last couple of years developing a biopic of Harry Houdini. However it’s still not ready to go in front of the cameras, as Max Landis has come aboard to rewrite the script for the movie.
Well this explains a few things. When Paul Rudd was announced for Ant-Man, the assumption was that he would be playing Hank Pym, the original incarnation of the character, but Marvel didn’t actually confirm that. Then a couple of weeks ago director Edgar Wright hinted at multiple Ant-Men.
Kristen Wiig has seemed slightly ambivalent to the potential success Bridesmaids brought her, as while he’s appeared in supporting roles in the likes of Walter Mitty and Anchorman 2, most of her other post Bridesmaids movies have been quirky movies that may have been interesting but were never going to become massive box office hits.
