CHARLES DANCE TO RETURN IN GAME OF THRONES

Actor Charles Dance has said he will return to the fantasy drama 'Game of Thrones', despite his character Tywin Lannister having suffered a gruesome death in the season-four finale. The fifth season of the TV show is scheduled to premiere next year. It will adapt content from 'A Feast for Crows' and 'A Dance with Dragons', the fourth and fifth novels in George RR Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, reportedly. "I'm not completely missing out on the next series. You haven't seen the last of Tywin Lannister is all I'll say," the 67-year-old actor said. The show has an anti-flashback policy so it is not clear whether Tywin will be shown in flashback or his dead body will make an appearance.

SONAM KAPOOR
DOESN'T LIKE REPEATING ROLES

Sonam Kapoor says she has tried to play myriad roles in her career because she doesn't like to repeat characters. For her latest Bollywood release "Khoobsurat", she has shed her inhibitions and gone wild in the "Engine ki seeti" song. But she says: "That's not me. That's my character. I doubt you'd see me breaking into "Engine ki seeti" in real life. I like to play a different character each time." Her future projects will also see her in roles different from her past portrayals on screen. She believes each director she has worked with so far has helped her in her journey. "Sanjay and I haven't worked together after 'Saawariya', but we are connected constantly. Every time he sees something of mine on television, he messages me. Rakeysh Mehra is there for everything I do. Shashanka is so protective of me." Sonam also feels that from "Saawariya" to "Khubsoorat", she has got better with every film.

'DEADPOOL' MOVIE ANNOUNCED FOR 2016

When Ryan Reynolds popped up in a small capacity in 2009′s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, he had the chance to get moviegoers on his side to help launch a spinoff for his character, Wade Wilson – the talkative mercenary who becomes Deadpool.
