And Iron Guy facing off against Thor. Thor will get plenty of superheroes' supports, it seems.Oh, as well as the new theif? It may look like that he's revealed, despite the fact that nobody namechecks the large mechanical winged animal within the finish, we're taking a chance that that's IronMan villain, FinFang Foom - or perhaps the Midgard Serpent who's every once in awhile disguised as same.

Degrassi: Where We Left Off and What to anticipate

Dustin Clare, Spartacus: Vengeance Gannicus! Gannicus! Gannicus! The initial Champion of Capua returns to Spartacus: Vengeance on Friday (10/9c, Starz), and such as the before he joined that arena, most die. And can they perish at his hands? It has been 5 years since he created a free guy, no more a gladiator for home of Batiatus. "He's certainly matured," Dustin Clare, who plays Gannicus, informs TVGuide.com. "He's been a journeyman using the moving ocean which pack on his back. Since philosophy would be a large a part of that time period and males were challenging thinking, Let me believe that he'd had knowledge about someone like this along his journey, with families, different cultures, different races." From Bet on Thrones to Spartacus: TV's unsexiest sex moments His changed appearance reflects the mishmash of cultures that he's experienced. "We actually attempted to include might labored quite carefully using the costume designer, nobody desired to have fun with different textures, materials and metals," states Clare. "It had been when it comes to searching at maps and what cultures were near where he could have been at that time and various accoutrements he'd have collected. We simply desired to visit a guy who's experienced a great deal.Inch Try not to expect a kinder, gentler or less debauched Gannicus. "I believe his apparent weakness is alcohol," Clare states. "He makes use of it like he did previously, to draw attention away from themself from facts, in the same manner he's used sexual gratification." And despite the fact that he's no more needed to go in the world, Gannicus has stored in eliminating form. "He is doing lots of walking and often he needs to go swimming," Clare jokes, before making clear, "It isn't he has not been fighting whatsoever... I am talking about, he's the type of guy who wouldn't down again from the fight." Take a look at Gannicus preparing for his next fight within this promo for Friday's episode, "Libertus": In some way, Gannicus is just about the Romans' selected executioner of Spartacus' three taken males. And thinking about he once harmed his closest friend Oenomaus (Peter Mensah) by sleeping together with his wife Melitta (Marisa Ramirez), who later died, he ought to be attempting to make up to Oenomaus, not kill him. "It is a very long time passing, there is however certainly likely to be guilt there," Clare states. "The conditions that bring him to Capua, it is a calling, it is something he needs to do in order to right wrongs in the past." Allegiances is going to be uncertain this year. Although Gannicus is really a former slave and gladiator, that does not mean he'll instantly affiliate with Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) and also the rebels. "He most likely has more powerful ideals than he did before which is actually where he clashes with Spartacus once they finally do meet," he states. "They've techniques used in seeing the things they feel is appropriate and the things they feel is simply on the planet. I do not believe that either seem to be wrong they are just different opinions." From Spartacus to Shameless: Winter TV's most sexy eye chocolate Both males battled to win their freedom. Spartacus overthrew home of Batiatus inside a bloody massacre, while Gannicus won the Primus and was granted the rudis -- a wooden dagger etched using the names from the males he's defeated when it comes to -- that signifies his hard-gained status. "It's his ticket he can display and prove his freedom," Clare describes. "This means a great deal to him, and that he keeps it near to him." Spartacus: Vengeance airs on Fridays at 10/9c on Starz. Are you currently glad Gannicus has returned? Why do you consider he's facing Oenomaus when it comes to? Should Gannicus synergy with Spartacus?

President's Day Weekend Receipts: Safe House Leads Lucrative Holiday

It was indeed a very happy President's Day Weekend in Hollywood, where studios enjoyed the rare treat of five wide February releases raking in $20 million or more. The bad news? The two newest ones brought up the rear. Sorry, Nicolas Cage and Reese Witherspoon - your Holiday Weekend Receipts are here. [All figures are four-day weekend estimates.] 1. Safe House Gross: $28,40,000 ($82,600,000) Screens: 3,121 (PSA $9,100) Weeks: 2 (Change: -29.3%) There are a few big winners among this weekend's successes, but I'll go with Ryan Reynolds as the biggest: On the one hand, the guy can't open anything no matter how desperately his agents or producers want him to be able to. On the other, there is no better box-office second fiddle alive short of maybe Jeremy Renner, who wouldn't hold that distinction for long anyway with both The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy on deck to refine both his blockbuster ensemble and leading-man creds. So go on, Hollywood! Let Reynolds back up your 57-year-old action star today! 2. The Vow Gross: $26,600,000 ($88,527,000) Screens: 2,958 (PSA $8,993) Weeks: 2 (Change: -35.4%) Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams aren't shabby performers, either, both en route to their leading their first non-franchise $100 million grosser. Unless The Vow 2 is en route starring a certain rat and a churro, which I'm not sure counts, but you tell me. 3. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Gross: $26,400,000 ($59,516,000) Screens: 3,500 Weeks: 2 (Change: -3.4%) There's no doubt that just scraping below $60 million in 10 days of release is a let-down for all involved (except for Michael Caine, I guess, as long as the check cleared), but a 3.4 percent drop? Yowza. Not bad at all, especially opposite... 4. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Gross: $25,700,000 (new) Screens: 3,174 (PSA $6,397) Weeks: 1 I don't know where this creative development lands Nicolas Cage on his quest to become screen acting's version of Led Zeppelin. Maybe it would be easier to break it down to Zeppelin song-title analogues, like, "What Is and What Should Never Be" or "Sick Again." Any others? 5. This Means War Gross: $20,400,000 (new) Screens: 3,189 (PSA: $6,397) Weeks: 1 Needs less Pine, more pudding. [Figures via Box Office Mojo] Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter.
