X-Men: Days of Future Past
Young Professor Charles Xavier actor James McAvoy shared a potentially disappointing update on the movie's time travel conceit, indicating he might not actually share any scenes with Patrick Stewart's older version of the character:
"It'll be cool, but I don't think we get any scenes together, sadly. I don't think there's any future self talking to past self."

For his part, X-Men: First Class and Warm Bodies star Nicholas Hoult says he's been trying to get information about the new film from his Jack the Giant Slayer director Bryan Singer, with limited success:
Yes, I've been trying to get a fair bit of information out of him, he's kind of making me hang on until the script a little bit, but he's given a few rough ideas of what's going to be going on. The brilliant thing about it is seeing him so excited about it because that's always a good sign when you get a director that excited about the story and the ideas and what's going to be happening then you know that it sign to be a real thrill to work on.
Do you know when you're shooting yet? Do you have your schedule?
I don't have the complete dates yet, I know it's going to be starting fairly soon here. Bryan's already scouting locations and really getting into pre-production so still waiting to hear exactly, but in the not too distant future.

Iron Man 3
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explains why the inclusion of Extremis nanotechnology allows writer-director Shane Black's film to sidestep the previous Iron Man movies' reliance on armored villains:
"We're calling it a biological reality and there's a science behind it that allows people to glow and rip apart Iron Man suits. Frankly, Shane was not interested, and we were not interested, in having another armoured character and another armored character fight. We've done that twice before."
And here's a passage from the new Empire Magazine issue that drops some details on a particular scene:
The scene ends with Stark, bloodied and dazed, flying away not entirely in control of his malfunctioning prototype. He lands hundreds of miles away in a snowy field, where, out of power, he can't get in touch with Pepper. Or Rhodey. Or The Avengers, neatly sidestepping that question.
Breaking into a deserted-looking garage, the tone then zigzags again as Tony is startled by a ten year-old kid, Harley (Ty Simpkins) sparking what [Drew] Pearce calls the film's "sci-fi Capra" phase. "We loved the idea of doing something classically Spielbergian - a kid finds a superhero in a shed. Their relationship is not something you would traditionally see in Spielberg, though; it's bawdier, more fractious." Extremis is a scientific program invented by Hansen and abused by the Mandarin and his right-hand man, Guy Pearce's slimy Aldrich Killian. It rewrites the operating system of the body, upgrading strength, speed and durability to the very zenith of human possibility.
