Now in its second season, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series has created quite a bit of connective tissue between the big-screen installments of Marvel’s cinematic universe by featuring various characters from the films in recurring roles and cameos, as well as introducing the live-action versions of characters from Marvel’s comics canon. The series recently introduced popular character Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird), a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent played by Adrianne Palicki.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age Of Ultron will hit theaters May 1, 2015, and finds the superhero team battling a deadly new, robotic enemy. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and a host of other returning characters and new additions to Marvel’s cinematic universe.

Welcome to the week of Ridley Scott. The 86-year-old filmmaker's next movie is Gladiator II, the 29th feature film in his illustrious five-decade career. The sequel to the Oscar-winning Gladiator, Gladiator II stars Paul Mescal as Lucius, the former heir to the throne and son of Maximus (Russell Crowe) and Lucilla (Connie Nielsen).
