Spiderman Actor Tom Holland Has Shot His Peter Parker Cameo For Civil War


        Superhero movies usually end up ditching the mask in the climactic scenes so they can see the face of the star behind. But after the success of Iron Man where we don’t see the face in the costume most of the time, it has become the norm for other superhero movies to do the same. After all, they wouldn't want their lead to do the stunts all the time and get hurt. It can also save them some time where the star wouldn't be needed on the filming location, with the scenes being filmed by a stuntman instead. And now that stars are signed up for multi-picture deals, this method will help them keep their stars from getting tired of playing the role.


This is what happened with Spider-man, who has apparently shot his scenes on Marvel's Captain America: Civil War even before they found an actor to play as Peter Parker. In an interview with the Vulture, Spectacular Spider-Man writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein told that the cameo is already done. Goldstein talks about going to Marvel to look at the footage of Tom Holland's came as Peter Parker in the upcoming film. "We hear good things," he said. "We might even get to look at the Spidey suit, which is exciting."

Even though Tom Holland has just finished his Peter Parker cameo in the filming location, this doesn't mean that he is yet to film the Spider-Man scenes. Spider-Man has been on the filming location for a while now, being played by stunt men. Tom Holland is only needed for the Peter Parker scenes, and can simply record his dialogue over the scene in a studio somewhere.


  With all this talk of a costume, one photo of the outfit is yet to appear online. There were some rumors of a fanart that became the basis of the home-made costume, but those are simply speculation for now. Another rumor that appeared was the cast list that was leaked online earlier. Daley was quick to dismiss this, saying that "We've discussed the characters, but nothing is certain yet, for sure".



Whether Spider-Man will be in the movie for an extended time or just a small cameo, we have yet to confirm. But fans definitely hope that he has more scenes than a cameo. Essentially fighting alongside the Avengers and such. What we've heard from Birth Movies Death however, is that whether a small cameo or not, his fight scene will get the fans excited, not because of how epic it is, but because of how dorky and unlikely the superhero fight will be. If it's true, then the battle will surely be one of the most anticipated scenes in Captain America: Civil War when it opens to theaters on May 6th, 2016.

CW's The Flash Casts Michael Ironside as Captain Cold's Father


As The Flash prepares for its second season, we start to know more about the overall direction that the show is going towards. It's not a secret that fans loved the first season of the tv series, and everyone is hoping that this new season is going to be just as good as the first, or perhaps bigger and better.


We now have learned that they will be adding a lot of new characters to join the cast, including Patty Spivot, Detective Joe West's new partner, and the very first Flash - Jay Garrick - presumably taking the role of Barry Allen's new mentor after Wells. There's also news that Allen will be getting new powers that involves lightning. 

Of course we're not only getting new allies for our hero. There's also a roster of super-villains that is expected to be introduced in the 23 episodes of the series. One villain in particular is an addition to the villain family that we have seen in season 1. 

The Hollywood Report tells us that veteran Michael Ironside will lend his talents to the Flash by playing the role of Lewis Snart, the estranged father of the Snart family who has a history of abusing his children as frequently mentioned in the show by his son Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and  daughter Lisa Snart/Golden Glider (Peyton List). 

Lewis Snart is described as a ruthless, and cold-blooded career criminal who was recently released from prison. He returns to Central City with plans that will endanger both of his kids. Not much is known about him in the comics, except for the fact that he has been abusive to the young Leonard Snart, which forced the boy to spend more time with his grandfather who is an ice trucker.
Michael Ironside is set to appear as a guest star in episode 203 titled "Family of Rogues", together with Miller and List in their alter egos.

Ironside is known for numerous action-adventure films, including Top Gun, Starship Troopers and Total Recall, so expect him to fit in the Flash's world perfectly. He has also done some voice-work for animated shows of the DC properties like Batman, Superman and Justice League. He also played Lois Lane's father in another CW superhero show Smallville.

The Flash's second season will introduce us to the concept of alternate universes, particularly the Earth-Two - an alternate world that features new characters that we might not have seen before. 
Filming has begun for the second season, and they have shot some scenes in various filming locations in Vancouver, which is also the filming location of the Arrow. The first few episodes of the Flash and Arrow will open up the characters to make them available for their new superhero spinoff 'Legends of Tomorrow’.

The Flash will return for its second season this October  6th, on the CW network at 8pm.
