Captain America:
There's a veritable bounty of Captain America in the new issue of Entertainment weekly. We get Stanley Tucci as Dr. Abraham Erskine, Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt, and Chris Evans both in and — ahem — out of uniform. [Comic Book Movie]
Wolverine 2:
The second film puts Logan in Tokyo, at the behest of a man named Zen, and there's a host of Japanese characters he'll encounter across the ocean. There is Shingen, a man whose father was Master of the Hand. The Master kills himself to prevent Shingen from taking his title, hoping Logan will become the next Master of the Hand. Logan saves the life of Mariko, Shingen's daughter. They fall in love, but Mariko is engaged to Noburo Moro, the corrupt Minister of Justice who is in the Yakuza's pocket.
He also encounters Kenuichio, a master samurai and Shingen's illegitimate son, under less friendly circumstances. Shingen doesn't recognize Kenuichio as his heir, but Kenuichio — the "Silver Samurai" — attacks Logan while wearing electrified armor. Kenuichio is also the lover of Viper, Noburo's fiercely loyal secretary.
Logan takes on a female bodyguard, Yukio, who has ties to Shingen but is ultimately loyal to Logan. And he gets information from Frank Sinatra, a Japanese lounge singer and high-ranking member of the Yakuza. [CinemaBlend]

Yesterday, we mentioned that The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Noomi Rapace was eager to star in Ridley Scott's Alien prequel.

Over at Newsarama, Steven Yuen (Glen) talks about his experience filming the show as a fan of the comic. [Newsarama]
Producer Gale Anne Hurd reiterates that this wasn't a frame for frame adaptation, but she is clear that the show will read as a television series rather than a series of movies. Regarding the early scenes in Atlanta and the surrounding area:
The city was so cooperative in allowing us to take over downtown for the end sequence of episode one. We were really able to give it scope and not cheat that. You see it a bit of it in the second episode, the location of the survivor's camp in the quarry also has magnificent production value. You actually see downtown Atlanta from that location, too.
And she teases Rick and Michonne's trip to Woodbury:
It will be interesting to see if Rick loses an appendage. We haven't crossed that bridge yet and we haven't ruled it out. I have a feeling that there will be things that would, surprisingly, feel gratuitous if we went to the comic's extent. But, I'm very excited to see Michonne and the Governor. They're pretty extreme characters.

Clark and the General butt heads over superheroes and the General's attempt to pass a vigilante registration law. Rick Flagg, hoping to keep the law from being passed, lies to Lucy to lure Clark away from the farm so Flagg can assassinate the General. Let's take a look at the heartwarming family moments. [CBR]
In "Harvest," Clark tries to steer Lois away from covering the Vigilante Registration Act because he fears for her safety. Lois doesn't take kindly to his meddling, but no sooner does she tell him she can take care of herself than she finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire — and then she finds herself in serious danger. Meanwhile, Tess searches for a cure for Alexander's rapid aging. [CBR]

But, as parents will, they witness some strange goings-on and become suspicious. Daphne's friend Trent (moody Twilight vamp Jackson Rathbone) and his parents are victim's of a home invasion, and Daphne tries to use her mind-reading to track down the perps.
Then in "No Ordinary Mobster," Jim tries to take down a mobster who has eluded George for years, putting his secret identity at risk. Stephanie continues Dr. Volson's research on a mysterious path in defiance of Dr. King. Daphne convinces JJ to make her more knowledgeable so she can impress a boy, and JJ tries to help Katie get a date — and goes to the extreme.
"No Ordinary Accident" finds Jim suddenly powerless, and Stephanie tries to figure out why.

And Katie finds herself falling for a mysterious new man. [Spoiler TV]
