• Battlestar Babe Katee Sackhoff Researching Role for Marvel Movie

  The Battlestar Galactica actress was spotted at an LA comic book store buying everything she could get her hands on featuring Daredevil villain Typhoid Mary. When asked why, she responded it was, "in hopes to get a part for a Marvel movie."

  Is this just wishful thinking, or does Katte Sackhoff know something we don't? We're going to be optimistic and lean towards the latter.

  She's a mutant with multiple personalities, who develops various powers depending on which personality inhabits her at the time. There have been rumors floating around for some time of a reboot/sequel to 2003's Mark Stephen Johnson movie, which starred Ben Affleck.

  Another possibility is that Sackhoff's research is for the recently confirmed continuation of the X-franchise -- Ryan Reynolds' coming Deadpool movie. In fact, with Typhoid Mary's mutant connection, she could be a candidate for any future X-movie from Fox. Let the speculation begin!

• Nicolas Cage Talks Ghost Rider 2

  Remember Ghost Rider? The movie with Nicolas Cage as the skull-faced comic book character riding around on a flaming motorcycle that looked like it might be good but ultimately was really disappointing? Ready for a sequel? Cage is.

  In a recent interview, Cage told MTV News that a writer, and even a new director, will be needed for a potential sequel. Apparently, Ghost Rider and Daredevil director Mark Steven Johnson, according to Cage, "has his own thing going on." What, ruining another possible comic book franchise?

  The changes might be a good thing, since Cage says a new Ghost Rider would have to differ greatly from its predecessor:

  It has to have that action horror element and go deeper into that if it were to happen and [it should] keep us asking questions. Keep it interesting on a philosophical level.

  While that does sound better, Cage admits that any decision to move forward is "up to the studio. It’s really in their hands."
