While a few general cast Call for extras have aerofoil , we now have one that actually hint information somewhat beyond the very basic fact that citizenry will come out in this plastic film ( although if George Lucas was still in cathexis , I guess we could n’t necessarily take even that for granted ) . Anyway , the casting call ask for the pursual :
Male , 7 foot to 7.3 ft magniloquent with a slim / thin build and unsloped posture . Not too worked out or too ‘ thick set ’ particularly in the shoulders . wide facial features would be a fillip .
The chemical reaction that most everyone has had to this news is , “ Well , that sounds like Wookiees . ” So then , Wookiees might be sic to appear in the new film … maybe . For his part , Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhewhas answer to this newsby declaring he has every aim of reprising the role in the new celluloid . [ Den of Geek ]
Here ’s a TV stain .

Tom Hiddleston contrast Loki with Prince Hal – the future King Henry V – who is his character on the Shakespeare version The Hollow Crown :
Loki ? I do n’t bonk . I cogitate the affair is , where we retrieve him now in the growth of the character and the films , he and Hal diverged long ago . Hal resolve to take responsibility , and Loki decided not to . But it ’s almost like he could have become a responsible for soul and a responsible prince — but he does n’t . It ’s funny , because I actually think in Kenneth Branagh ’s Thor flick , I believe both Thor and Loki are Prince Hal at one point . They are two prince who are wrestling with an despotic Father of the Church who is a Billie Jean Moffitt King , who bump to be King of the Universe , not the King of England . Both characters in their own way rebel against his authority , and then they both have different responses to him . But Loki now , I find like he ’s hear to sever his connection from even caring in the end . Of naturally , like any psychologist will tell you , that ’s just a symptom of the thick , deepest damage and hurt .
He needs hug therapy . He needs hug therapy ! [ Laughs ] You know , but we in reality utter about this a lot with Alan Taylor , Chris and I spill about it . Chris had run into a documentary on some of the most grave crook in the world and the psychology of how you get to that . It ’s just that the scathe has been buried so deep , and the misanthropy and the desire to put down has just take over . There is no safety catch any longer . Whatever it was that was holding your brain together to keep it cultivated has snapped , and he ’s encompass a kind of ferocity .
There ’s also this exchange about some footage that may or may not have been show at Comic Con :
I ’m curious , as an actor , do you think that footage that they point at Comic - Con of Loki ( peradventure ) severing Thor ’s hand in The Dark World was too much ? Do you wish that we were leave behind wonder a little turn more about whether he ’s actually going to make a variety for the better in this film ? Whereas now , everyone ’s just assuming , well , that that ’s it ; Loki ’s Loki , and he ’s just start to be a trickster . I could n’t possibly severalise you . But I would say be very careful with your speculation . People are so quick to stand out . That ’s what I love about play the character . the great unwashed are so quick to draw conclusions about who he is . The whole thing about Loki is that he ’s dance on this liminal line between redemption and destruction . Just be very measured about draw conclusions based on what you see .

Director Francis Lawrence explicate why this subsequence feels different to the original Hunger Games :
“ I really enjoy how the world opens up in the second book . The mythology opens up , the news report ’s much more complex , you see more of the Districts and Capitol , and you really get to get a sentience of the meaning of affair . This one ’s very , very different . The arena ’s much more participating . And the movie ’s about dissimilar things , thematically : it ’s about the beginning of uprising , and Kat is becoming a symbolization , and there ’s much more love story . ”

Star Alex Winter offers this update on the production appendage :
We have a book and I believe we will get it made . But we ’re in that zone of putting it together , which perchance Dumb And Dumber To was in for a while . Chris ( Matheson ) and Ed ( Solomon ) are two very sought - after Hollywood screenwriters and we ’re waiting for them to come back with another draft . It ’s just the four of us : it ’s not like there ’s a bragging , cigar - chomping money guy interfering . There are people with money who are interested , but the ball is in our court as to how we want to organise it financially . I detest to say this because it might tick off the buff , but it does n’t really matter if the movie pass off now or in a couple of years , give what it ’s about and how it plays with what ’s happened to us . There ’s a sugariness to that which will get only respectable with age . That somehow we have n’t changed in 20 years – life has produce up around us and yet we ’re uninfluenced .

Star Tracy Spiridakos discusses what ’s in store for Charlie :
“ It takes plaza three calendar month after . You get a little glance of some things at the very beginning , but we do n’t really hash out what go on . There ’s a lot of hurt touch there . There ’s a lot of damage done , and it ’s too much at this peak for Charlie . Charlie really splits , and she goes on her own short journey . Too much has happened , and she ’s get to go check it out for herself . Her goal is to get rid of that guy [ Monroe ] . Although we love David [ Lyons ] . She ’s pretty angry aright now . At the source , she was all about family , and all about doing the right thing , and all that , and so much has happened , that now she does n’t experience where her morals lie down . She does n’t jazz what decision ’s right-hand , what decision ’s incorrect . She ’s just emotionally exclude down . So I do n’t know what will happen if she interact with Monroe . I ca n’t see it going very well , frankly . ”

Star Stephen Amell explains why neither Roy Harper nor Oliver ’s sister Thea is likely to become Speedy anytime shortly , plus the status of the name Green Arrow :
No . I will tell you this : Oliver had to go through five years of , as he puts it , hell to come out the other side not even a ruined version of himself . The reason why we do n’t call my character Green Arrow is because he ’s not the Green Arrow yet – he ’s The Hood . Roy and Thea have both shown that they are middling capable people but , if one of them is going to become Speedy or Red Arrow or both or neither , they ’re going to have to go through something , and I think the plan at the moment is to examine them out this year in terms of – ‘ o.k. guys , here ’s your melting pot . Here ’s your thing that you have to go through . Now , how are you proceed to come out on the other side ? ’ We ’re go to test those characters this class .
You mention your character not being Green Arrow yet , do you foresee the show ever taking up the chimneypiece and becoming more comic Bible - esque?Well , I do n’t call back I ’m ever going to say , ‘ To the Arrow Cave ! ’ or anything like that – I do n’t think we ’ll ever get that campy . Though I think we did a better job as the season went along of poking fun at ourselves a little bit – you ca n’t take yourself too seriously . But that being state , I would love for there to be a instant somewhere down the line of descent where I either call myself Green Arrow , or somebody else calls me Green Arrow , and I respond to it . It ’d be nice to galvanise people with a name that was a little bit more inclusive than The Hood or the vigilance man .
He also discuss what ’s going on with the Island this season :
Going into the time of year we knew that he had spent five year on the island , but it was n’t until episode five and the unveiling of Edward Fyers and faux Deadshot that we really ascertain what the island could be . Now we have a really good melodic theme of it , and I bonk that going into this season there ’s a very specific plan for the island because it ’s finite . We know we have five years to tell the story and it ’s believably even more fleshed out than the present day story , so we get to see the continued dynamic between Slade , Shado and Oliver hopefully becoming more of a partnership . Because at the end of the day , they were the badasses and they were the fighters but she got taken captive by Fyers and Slade was hobble – it was me who a ) diverted the missile and b ) shot Fyers in the neck with an pointer . Hopefully I become more of their equal , and I also think that it ’d be interesting to see Oliver ’s island world and his present day world clash this year .
Will we see character from the island come out in present day?That’d be awful . That ’d be really coolheaded and , you know , it could befall at any point . It could pass off in the first installment – you never know .
