X-Men: Days of Future Past
There's still no official word on who Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage will play in the next X-Men movie, but the latest reports suggest he will play the main antagonist. I will leave it to others to speculate on just which villain he might play, but I feel honor-bound to point out (much as Mr. Dinklage might prefer I didn't) that he already has plenty of valuable experience playing a supervillain.
We've probably reached the point of diminishing returns with Bryan Singer's constant quotes, but here's one more general take on what to expect from his big return to the X-Men director's chair:
"This movie's gonna be not only quite epic, 'Days of Future Past,' but it also takes place in completely different times than the 'X Men' movies have taken place. There'll be new technology, new things we haven't seen before in 'X-Men' films. Certain characters and certain story and certain drama that hasn't be done yet, so it's not so much sequel. It's more of its own kinda thing... I'll be able to correct a few things [from previous movies]."

Thor: The Dark World
An extra who played one of the villainous Marauders in the Thor sequel details his experiences filming with Ray Stevenson and Zachary Levi, who play Warriors Three members Volstagg and Fandral, in this report (any and all typos are sic):
"Onto the first day which was basically lots of running around & pretending to slaughter lots of villagers which sounds fun until you set a loose horse into the equation... [On the fifth day] I'm being held prisoner by Ray Stevenson ready to be transported back to Asgard... Next to me Zachary is on his horse which on this particular day is deciding to play up... I think he's a bit worried too but still manages to pull off a perfect English accent whilst laughing at my predicament... As I'm being held hostage by Ray, it turns out he has nothing to eat & his character is always seen as eating... I produce my apple I had hidden in my ammo pouches & voila, if it makes the final cut I have my mark on a major film! fingers crossed. So if you see Ray chomping an apple whilst waiting to transport us intergalactic warriors to asgard then you know where it came from!

The Originals
Klaus actor Joseph Morgan says that other Vampire Diaries regulars could drop in on his New Orleans-set spinoff and vice-versa, up to and including main characters like Caroline:
"There are going to be characters that cross over between the two worlds. The whole world is going to be richer. It would imagine all the fans that have been so generous to me are going to want to see what happens with Caroline…I feel like I owe it to the fans for there to be some resolve and for her to possibly turn up in New Orleans at some point. I know there's already talks about different characters that can come over to New Orleans and then go back."

Beauty and the Beast
Executive producer Brian Peterson previews what's ahead:
Tess is kind of our window in what a normal person – who doesn't just immediately meet a beast and fall in love – would think about all this. So she's going to have a really interesting journey in these next few episodes; in her relationship with Cat, in her relationship with Joe and in her relationship with the vigilante. Evan and J.T. are going to have a growing ‘situation.' Evan will have a big story, too. His whole goal is to protect Cat. It's kind of a situation of, ‘why is this person I care about doing all of these dumb things?'He is in a position of ‘I need to protect her from herself.' So he's going to kind of continue to protect and get more and more involved in things that he should never be getting involved in.
[Sendhil Ramamurthy is] going to be a very big part of the show all the way up to the season finale at least. He's come in with his own agenda and we're quickly going to see how that's different than anybody else on the show; in his need to catch the beast and working with the task force and creating the task force to find the beast for him. I think he has a really fun introduction with Catherine and pretty quickly develops a certain kind of bond with her in the show.
