Saffron Burrows Rumored to Join Agents of SHIELD as Victoria Hand

Latino Reviews reveals that actress Saffron Burrows has been cast as SHIELD Agent Victoria Hand for ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." 

Hand was Norman Osborn's right hand gal back when he was still leading H.A.M.M.E.R., she was a tough cookie and hated the administration of both Nick Fury and Tony Stark, which was also the cause of her downfall. 

After the events of Siege, Hand was personally recruited by Commander Steve Rogers to become the liaison for Luke Cage's New Avengers team. She also made up one-third of the so-called "Cap's Angels" joining Maria Hill and Agent 13, Sharon Carter.

Oh and much like Victoria Hand, Burrows is also part of the LGBT community; dating Irish actress Fiona Shaw.

Again, nothing's set on stone with the casting so you might want to file this under 'Rumors'...

A SINISTER SIX Reference Spotted in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Set

Is Mark Webb really pulling all the stops by bringing together the classic SINISTER SIX?

If we're going to believe the markings on the wall on the set of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 it looks like this is actually coming true.

I sincerely think that Webb will do it plus I'm really quite interested with the characters of choice. Obviously, they will go back and get Rhys Ifans' Lizard/ Curt Connors. They also have Jamie Foxx's Electro which will be the main antagonist for Peter Parker's alter-ego in ASM 2. We also have Paul Giamatti's THE RHINO, although we really haven't seen him yet. And the brains of the operation goes to Chris Cooper's Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin. 

That's two shy of six I know, and there's a lot of ground to cover between ASM 2 and ASM 3 so all we have to do is play the waiting game. One thing that you have to consider though is where the supposed 'VENOM' movie and spinoff falls under. Maybe that will evolve and come out of the events of ASM 3 and that Venom could be part of the Sinister Six. 

Let's just wait and see. 

Will Superior Spider-Man End Come May?

The burning question at the moment is whether or not Marvel is bringing down the blade for Superior Spider-Man as the May solicit details some pretty grim stuff.

The Amazing Spider-Man Movie Review

Sony and Columbia's The Amazing Spider-Man is a fresh take on something thats been thrice already. This movie however is far from just a rehash. At the end of the flick, you might even say "Toby Who?"

I'm pretty sure that you guys must be reading other reviews saying it's dark and its emo and all that. I might be the minority in this one but I'm definitely going to say that this was a lot better compared to the Sam Raimi films starring Toby, James Franco and Kirsten Dunst (who was really irritating to watch as Mary Jane Watson).
