Greetings to all from the Spider’s Web!

Behold the tidbits below and enter my web.

X-Men 3
Reports are coming out of the X-Men production office saying Kitty Pride will once again be re-cast in the third X-Men movie. This time the producers are looking for a 17 year old girl and are currently holding casting sessions to fill this role last played by Katie Stuart in X2. Look for the character to play a big role in the film when it hits theaters.

In addition Ain't it cool news is reporting that the Toad will not be coming back to play a role in X-Men 3, despite earlier reports that Ray Park would be hired soon to reprise his role. He was last seen falling into the river at the end of X-Men after being hit by lightning.

Spider Sense Says: I enjoyed the character of Kitty Pride in the comics. Dunno if it makes sense to include her here in the next film.

Superman Returns
It has been confirmed that Rebel Billionaire star and Virgin kingpin Richard Branson will indeed be making a cameo in Superman Returns. His role will consist of going up in his space plane, Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) trying to shoot it down, and having Superman (Brandon Routh) save the day. It is a short sequence.

Also for those who are interested Bryan Singer the director has posted a new online journal at Bluetights.net titled "Extra! Extra!" In it he discuss the challenges of shooting on location and shooting a large crown of extras.

Spider Sense Says: Branson Cameo = Bad Idea
