I don't so much care for a Wolverine scene (sniktbub in the Avengers is a big sore spot for me), but I would love it if a Patrick Stewart cameo were legally and logistically possible.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
with the new Spider-Man and perhaps a few of the X-Men - at least Wolverine
I'm pretty sure this is impossible. The licenses on all the mutants are held definitely separately, and I suspect that Spider-Man is legally isolated from everyone, but I'd have to look it up.
It's weird when people ask "Why don't all the other NY heroes show up?" Uh, like for about the same reason Batman doesn't? Or Dr. Manhattan?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not a lot of details, and this is Device and their source is Lockheed Martin, but....
Tom 'MAAAVERICK' Cruise to fly F-35s in Top Gun sequel
Every year since 1986 has just been another year wasted without a movie about fighter jets and the oversized pairs of aviator sunglasses that fly them. But the long national nightmare is over, as rumor has it that Tommy C. will be playing the role (the starring role) of an F-35 test pilot in the upcoming sequel to Top Gun, which is probably not called Top Gun 2: They Wouldn't Let Us Use F-22s.
Normally we don't write about Tom Cruise rumors around here, but since this one comes straight from Lockheed Martin's F-35 program manager, we're willing to let our imaginations run with it for a little bit. Apparently, a production crew will be visiting a Lockheed flight test center in Texas within the "next month or so" to begin filming airplanes in action, even though there are zero more details (not even a title or unofficial release date) to be had.

Hunger Games clip - [link]
It's the scene where Katniss gets Seneca Crane's attention, if you know what I mean.

Cool.
ION, I wonder what it'd be like to fast for a day or two and then see The Hunger Games....

I know I don't read anywhere near as much as I intend to, but Tales from Development Hell sounds like great anecdotal information to have on hand for piecemeal reading.
And who doesn't love a good schadenfreudey holier-than-thou story? Because we all know we'd not make the same mistakes in similar positions.

all huge-budget works that were necessary (well, maybe not the second Hulk or Iron Man movies) to set up the movie.Really? So there's no way I can follow Avengers if I haven't seen any of the earlier movies? Because I haven't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Really? So there's no way I can follow Avengers if I haven't seen any of the earlier movies? Because I haven't.
I really doubt this will be the case - in general, movie studios like to make money, and you make a lot more money if your movie doesn't come with prereqs.
I've only seen Iron Man, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I assume Avengers will recap everyone's powers and backstory for me just fine.

I've seen Iron Man 1 (not 2) and Captain America. Beau has seen Thor too.
