First official photo from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Details have been few and far between on the upcoming and much-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Until now, with the release of this photo of Henry Cavill as Superman. Sure, it still doesn't give much away, but it does hint at a darker, edgier direction for Superman.

Directed by Zack Snyder, starring Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck as Batman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has a UK release date of 29th April 2016 and a US release date of 6th May 2016.

Sherlock to return for Special and Fourth Season

The BBC has just confirmed via a series of Tweets, using the hashtag #221back (confused? See the featured image above) that the hit show Sherlock will indeed return.

Details are still a bit sketchy, but it's pretty clear that Andrew Scott as Moriarty will feature heavily – you may remember his appearance right at the end of last season, as a teaser for the new season.

The fact that he took over the BBC's twitter account for the duration of the tweets may have been a pretty obvious clue too!

Filming is due to begin on January 2015. Whilst this does appear to be a long way off yet, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise really, considering how difficult it must be to get both Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch together at the same time!

What we do know is that there will be a one-off special, most likely a Christmas Special, and this will be followed by a three episode fourth season.

Stay tuned for official release dates the minute there come available!

Constantine now a non-smoker?

John Constantine's smoking habits might be a crucial element of this general storyline, and obviously feature prominently in Alan Moore's graphic novels, but you won't see our anti-hero light up in the upcoming TV show.

According to director Neil Marshall, unfortunately NBC have put their foot down, and refuse to allow Matt Ryan's Constantine to smoke on our TV sets!

How they work around this without changing the characters fundamental backstory will be very interesting!

Constantine will premiere on NBC at 10pm on Friday 24th October 2014.

The Falcon gets the call for Avengers: Age of Ultron

After the success of his appearance in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie has joined the cast for the big one.

He will reprise his role as The Falcon in Joss Whedon’s upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, due to hit screens next year.

The story goes that he had to wait a while before learning the news, and had spent some time bugging his good friend Chris Evans (Captain America) to tell home whether he was in or not. Well, eventually the call came and all’s good.

The Falcon was definitely one of the main highlights for me of the altogether excellent Captain America sequel earlier this year, and I’m thrilled to see him back for the main event!

The Avengers: Age of Ultron has a UK release date of 24th April 2015, and a US release date of 1st May 2015.
