It's been a bit of a crazy week in the movie industry...

It's been a bit of a crazy week in the movie industry, and we've got a whole host of things to discuss in regards to the biggest movie and TV news that dominated our RSS feeds over the last seven days. Tinseltown is a busy place, and now that we're getting farther into 2014 we're getting more and more updates about what movies will be dominating our cinemas for the foreseeable future, and which shows we'll likely be tuning into week after week. We've got a few new comic book adaptations on the way that will grace both the small screen and the silver screen; and we heard updates about whether or not Spider-Man could ever fight alongside the Avengers, or if Fox wants the Fantastic Four showing up alongside the X-Men. We've also got a big casting rumour to cross off of the list of Star Wars: Episode VII, and updates on Batman Vs. Superman and Fast and Furious 7. Unfortunately, we also have a surprising bit of news regarding director Bryan Singer, who has been accused of some truly shocking actions. Before we get there, let's take a look at the smaller stories that made their way through the grapevine this week:
