James Bond: Tom Hardy (Inception, above), rumored to be the next James Bond, declined to talk about that possibility in a new interview, but he endorsed Christopher Nolan as director: “What a fantastic director for a Bond movie. … when you mention someone like Christopher Nolan, that’s a very powerful figure to bring into that world who could bring something new and create something profound — again.” [The Daily Beast] 

Thor: Ragnarok: Director Taika Waititi shared a kooky photo by Darryl Jacobsen on social media, apparently a behind the scenes shot from Thor: Ragnarok, showing Chris Hemsworth sitting at a table with large pumpkins and gourds. To his side, we can see what looks like Thor’s hammer in a baby chair. We’re not sure if this is a prelude to a scene in the upcoming movie, due out on November 3, or simply lunch.
