Is Magus Joining Avengers: Infinity War?
A new casting call suggests that the Adam Warlock's villainous alter-ego Magus will be making an appearance in Marvel's The Avengers: Infinity War, Part 1.
A somewhat rough-around-the-edges site called www.acting-auditions.org (as spotted by Spoilertv.com) has the listing, which reads as follows:
“Auditions are now getting underway for the Marvel Studios feature film ‘Avengers: Infinity War – Part I’ lead and supporting roles. The auditions for new lead and supporting roles will be taking place in Los Angeles, CA. The film is the first in a two-part sequel in which Thanos plays a major role, along with the Magus. Adam Warlock’s bad side, the Magus, separates from his body and assembles the Infinity Gauntlet. Magus creates doppelgangers of Earth’s heroes as part of his plan to recreate a universe of evil. “Avengers: Infinity War – Part I” will be shot entirely on the IMAX/ARRI 2D digital camera.”

A New Stanley Kubrick Project Is Happening
World War Z helmer Marc Foster is set to direct and produce The Downslope, a Civil War drama based on an original screenplay written in 1956 by prolific filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.
According to Variety, The Downslope is being adapted into a trilogy of films by Forster, which will be overseen by producers Lauren Selig (Lone Survivor), Barry Levine (Oblivion), and rights holders Phil Hobbs (Full Metal Jacket) and Steve Lanning.
Here’s what we know so far about the plot of Kubrick’s unproduced script: “The Downslope” centers on a series of Civil War battles in the Shenandoah Valley between Union General George Armstrong Custer and Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby, known as the Gray Ghost for his stealth and elusiveness. His cavalrymen, known as Mosby’s Rangers, continually outsmarted the much larger enemy forces in a sequence of raids, which enraged Custer and created a cycle of revenge between the two men.”
