This has been an exciting week for news! The Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer hit the web, we learned about a new treat from J.K. Rowling and new tour dates from One Direction. Here's what you missed this week!
1. Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer Hits the Web
All we can say is, “wow!” This week, the new trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron was leaked, and instead of taking it down, Marvel responded in a pretty fantastic way. They tweeted, “Damnit Hydra,” and released the official version a week early. There are so many juicy bits in the trailer that it’s hard to count them all. We get looks at Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, Andy Serkis playing what appears to be Ulysses Klaw, a possible flashback for Captain America and Black Widow (maybe courtesy of Scarlet Witch) and that Hulkbuster Armor! Let’s go watch it again!

5. Is Jena Malone Playing a Female Robin in Batman v. Superman?
Jena Malone may be playing a female Robin in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. An extra on the set leaked the news (which is not confirmed, though her casting in the film is), and Malone recently posted a picture of herself on Instagram with red hair and the line, “Drastic times call for drastic measures.” What does this mean?
Well, in the graphic novel “The Dark Knight Returns” by Frank Miller, an older Batman (who will be played by Ben Affleck in the film) is saved by a young girl of 13 named Carrie Kelley. She’s obsessed with Batman and wants to be his sidekick. She ends up as the female Robin. Guess what? She’s got red hair! This is still all rumor, but it would certainly be an interesting choice!

6. Will Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor Join the Suicide Squad?
A rumor is going around today that says Jesse Eisenberg is in talks to take his Lex Luthor to the upcoming Suicide Squad movie after he appears in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film will hit theaters in 2016. Nothing has been confirmed by Warner Bros., but this would be a really interesting choice. We want to know what you think of the idea, comic book fans!

This week we learned about the newest Disney Princess, Moana. The film will hit theaters late in 2016, and it will tell the story of a young girl from “ancient Oceania” who sails the seas in search of a fabled island. Check out the official synopsis below.
"In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore."
