Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.

– In an interview with Yahoo UK, Samuel L. Jackson described his Avengers: Age of Ultron role as “not doing much.” In the same piece, Anthony Mackie revealed that, as far as he knows, Falcon will not be appearing in Age of Ultron. Both pieces of news are understandable, if not a bit of a bummer.

– As has been rumored for some time now, it has been confirmed by the co-chair of Sony, Amy Pascal, that Sony will “probably” go forward with a Sinister Six film after The Amazing Spider-Man 2. This is not shocking news (GET IT, ELECTRO!), but it is still slightly perplexing.

– Dave Erickson, a writer and executive producer on Sons of Anarchy has joined The Walking Dead spin-off in both roles.

– The Gotham official photos keep rolling out, with today’s being Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon.

Amy Acker will be guesting on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Coulson’s girlfriend, first mentioned in Avengers. On the week Arrow does Birds of Prey, this is how Marvel TV responds!

– This is really interesting: DC is sending out a survey to all of their freelancers, asking for constructive criticism in regards to their business practice. This could be a really interesting development, or it could be blowing smoke on a corporate level. Time will tell.

– Apparently Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl from “The Walking Dead”, has a stunt double, and that stunt double is a 31 year old woman. File that under funny but awesome.

– And, finally, Dynamite, after “years” of not having a booth at conventions, will be setting up shop at Emerald City Comicon this weekend.
