– Speaking of celebs confirming nerdy roles, Tila Swinton confirmed that she will be playing The Ancient One in the upcoming Doctor Strange.

– True Detective star and OG Gambit Taylor Kitsch said he wishes Channing Tatum in the Gambit reboot, through dangerously gritted teeth.
– On Nerd HQ, Joss Whedon said there will not be a director’s cut of Age of Ultron because, as he said, “the narrative came together very close to the way that I hoped it would, and I don’t think it needs me to constantly tweak it.” Kevin Feige, standing in the crowd, then slowly lowered his pistol and went to film Tilda Swinton eating a flower for safety.
