Will Smith: I Never Met Jared Leto, Only Joker
Jared Leto was so deep in his Suicide Squad character that co-star Will Smith says the two never really met.
"I’ve never actually met Jared Leto," Will Smith told Beats 1 (via /Film). "We worked together for 6 months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ He was all in on the Joker."
Smith isn't the first one to address Leto's method acting. Fellow co-star Adam Beach (Slipknot) spoke over the summer about the time Leto sent the other Squad members special packages while away from the production. Those included a love letter accompanied by a live rat for Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), and bullets and a dead hog for Will Smith (Deadshot).

Robot Chicken Producers on Their New Superhero Parody
Imagine stop-motion heaven. That's more or less what Stoopid Buddy Stoodios is like. The studio, known for Robot Chicken, recently opened its doors to a group of journalists for a look at its newest endeavor: SuperMansion. The animated comedy series focuses on a group of superheroic roommates led by the been there, seen that Titanium Rex. Voiced by Bryan Cranston, the elderly leader is trying to mentor the others and turn them into a force to be reckoned with. Suffice it to say, training doesn't exactly go according to plan.
Though they haven't forgotten their roots, series co-creators Matthew Senreich and Zeb Wells said SuperMansion is definitely a different beast than Robot Chicken. With Robot Chicken, if a sketch isn't funny any more, they can just move on to the next bit. Not so with SuperMansion. Wells said, "Here, there's nowhere to hide. You have to make sure that every character has to pay off at the end and everything
Adam Jensen Actor Voices Far Cry Primal’s Lead
Adam Jensen actor Elias Toufexis is lending his voice to Takkar in Far Cry Primal.
Toufexis revealed his role in the just-announced game on Twitter, saying, "Yeah. I play the lead character in this bad boy. #FarCryPrimal"
The actor is probably best known for his work in Deus Ex: Human Revolution — and the upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided — as Jensen. But Toufexis also has voice roles in other big-name games like Dying Light, Assassin's Creed Unity and Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Ubisoft unveiled Far Cry Primal earlier today, with the game set during the Stone Age in 10,000 BC. Takkar is the main character in the game who's "a seasoned hunter and the last surviving member of his hunting group."

Why Avengers 2 Had to Cut Loki
Avengers: Age of Ultron originally featured a brief appearance from Loki (Tom Hiddleston), but it caused so much confusion that it had to be cut from the film.
Hiddleston told Digital Spy that he took part in the shooting of Thor's dream sequence in the film. Loki has been the Marvel villain with the most staying power so far, having served as the primary antagonist for two films, and that was apparently enough to confuse audiences merely by seeing him for a moment.
"I was part of the dream sequence for the character of Thor. I shot for a day and enjoyed it very much, and then I received a phone call from

Wrestling Wrap Up: New Day Attacks Cena, Ziggler, Dudleys
I am very, very happy that the New Day got to stand triumphant at the end of RAW and absorb a bit of actual heel heat. I mean, these guys are heel in theory, but they're perpetually teetering. Often, they're too entertaining for their own good, though I'm not complaining. And I certainly don't want them to turn babyface. They appeal to those of us who love to cheer heels. And who love kitsch. I know, it's not traditional behavior, but there are certainly enough of us crappy contrarians out there to make their gimmick work.
