To date the composer has been nominated for nine Oscars and previously won for Disney’s ‘The Lion King.’ ‘Man of Steel’ will mark the first Zack Snyder-directed film on which the helmer hasn’t worked with composer Tyler Bates, who scored ‘Dawn of the Dead,’ ’300,’ ‘Watchmen’ and ‘Sucker Punch.’ Expect more details about the ‘Man of Steel’ soundtrack soon.

On where he wishes to take Loki in ‘Thor: The Dark World,’ Tom Hiddleston has said, “I’d like to take Loki to his absolute rock bottom. I’d like to see him yield, essentially, to his darkest instincts. Then, having hit rock bottom, maybe come back up. I think the fascination for me about playing Loki is that, in the history of the mythology and the comic books and the Scandinavian myths, is he’s constantly dancing on this fault line of the dark side and redemption.”

‘Iron Man 3′ pits the brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, ‘Iron Man 3′ returns Robert Downey Jr as the iconic Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle as James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Paul Bettany as JARVIS, and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan.

Look out for a more in-depth interview with Rebecca Hall for the film next week. Lots more interviews to come!
I know you’ve had to stay pretty silent about your character in the run up to ‘Iron Man 3.’ Yet, you’re now allowed to share some more details….?
Rebecca Hall: I can (laughs). Well, I play a character named Maya Hansen, who is an incredibly smart – some would say genius – scientist. She has developed some very cutting edge technology that is one of the principle components that drives the story: the Extremis Virus. She is involved in the whole Iron Man world because she met Tony Stark a long time ago when she was an M.I.T student being funded to research into a certain field that he’s also a specialist in – because he’s a specialist in everything, he’s a bit like that (laughs). They met a long time ago and she resurfaces in Tony Stark’s life years later. She can match Tony Stark intellectually. And Extremis, it’s a formula that my character Maya Hansen has developed, which essentially reprograms your genetic code so that you can re-grow your body to be however you want it to be, essentially so you can become superhuman. The problem is that it still has some issues with it.
