Marvel Studios just announced that it was bringing The First Avenger: Captain America to the big screen on May 6, 2011.

That date may be years down the line, but it’s never too soon to speculate about who could play the star-spangled Avenger. And the name currently causing debate across the Internet?

Matthew McConaughey.

Could you see him as Captain America?

For those that think the repairing of Tom Cruise’s public image is an impossible mission, they should consider the following rumor making the Internet rounds:

Cruise is set to be in another Mission: Impossible film, according to celebrity gossip maven Perez Hilton.

The actor - who is totally in love with Katie Holmes, in case you haven’t heard, is reportedly reconnecting with Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone for the film.

“Tom will make M:I 4 once Paramount greenlights the script. There will most definitely be another Mission: Impossible,” said a source.

Would you go see Mission: Impossible 4?

Sorry, Rush Hour fans: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are rumored to be reuniting, but it won’t be for a fourth installment of that surprisingly popular franchise.

“It’s like two days ago when Chris Tucker called me. We sat down and decided we want to do another movie. Not a Rush Hour - something new,” Chan told MTV.

It’s unclear what the new film will entail, but Chan said he and Tucker “shook hands” on a deal and were will looking for a “middle man” to force them to get together.

Chan will next be appearing oppositie Jet Li in martial arts movie The Forbidden Kingdom.

We’re excited enough to find out that an Austin Powers 4 is even in the works.

Now, we hear that super model Gisele Bündchen - who has played roles in The Devil Wears Prada and Taxi - is being considered for the female lead in the film. The gorgeous girlfriend of Tom Brady would follow in the footsteps of Elizabeth Hurley, Heather Graham and Beyoncé Knowles if this turns out to be the case.

Reportedly, the Brazilian beauty already has been given the script; her agent will meet soon with Mike Myers and director Jay Roach.

Myers’ next comedy, The Love Guru, comes out on June 20.

Gisele, meanwhile, is coming out of her bra in pretty much every picture of her. Damn you, Tom Brady.

We were likely to see Jennifer’s Body when it came out no matter what. Produced by Jason Reitman and penned by Juno scribe Diablo Cody, it ought to be a fun-filled flick.

After Reitman went on the Howard Stern radio show earlier this week, however, we absolutely cannot wait for the movie to come out.

Reitman told Stern that Jennifer’s Body star Megan Fox will be appearing topless (!) in the film for a scene in which she lures some unsuspecting (and, apparently, very lucky) dude into the woods with her.

Reitman did state that Fox’s breasts are being covered by hair… but we pretty much stopped listening after the words “Megan Fox topless” came out of his mouth.

Jennifer’s Body is currently shooting in Canada, with Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody and J.K. Simmons co-starring along with Fox.

Cinema Blend has published an interesting rumor regarding The Dark Knight.

According to that movie site, a scene has been deleted from the next Batman installment because it too closely reflects the unfortunate passing of star Heath Ledger.

Reportedly, the scene involves The Joker pretending to be dead, photographed in a body bag.

If this rumor is true, we think it’s a mistake by producers. The Joker was Ledger’s final performance. The best way to honor the actor is to showcase the role in its entirety. Don’t panic and cater to overly sensitive, misguided, politically correct-minded people who can’t differentiate between reality and fiction.

What do you think? Should The Dark Knight be edited down due to Ledger’s death?

We’re trying not to get too excited about this yet, but Entertainment Weekly has learned that Matthew McConaughey has been offered the role of Thomas Magnum in Universal Pictures’ adaptation of Magnum P.I.

The movie, of course, would be based on the 1980s TV show that starred Tom Selleck. For those too young to remember, the character is a former Navy Seal turned reluctant detective. Certainly seems a perfect match for the laid-back actor.

McConaughey, reportedly, is reading the script from writer/director Rawson Thurber (Dodgeball) and will decide shortly.

Would you pay to see him in the role of Magnum P.I.?

Bill and Ted have been to Heaven, Hell, and the far reaches of time.

However, as Keanu Reeves told MTV recently, Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan may be making their most non-heinous journey yet: back to the big screen!

“I hear they’re doing a remake,” Reeves said of the movie that launched his carer. “[Alex Winter and I spoke] on the phone the other day [about it]. We’re great friends.”

Would Reeves be up for another sequel?

“The most serious we ever got was a few years ago,” the actor confessed of a hitherto unknown third film. “I had once mentioned about doing it when we were 40. Now maybe the only shot we have is to do it when we’re 50.”

Would you see Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure 3?

How cool would this be?!?

The original James Bond, Sean Connery, is actually quoted by Ace Showbiz as saying that he’d be willing to portray the villain in Quantum of Solace.

“I wouldn’t mind coming back as a Bond villain. But I don’t think they would pay me enough. They don’t pay the money for other parts, only for the Bond character, although that wasn’t the case when I was doing it.”

Wow. Bitter much, Mr. Connery?

The aforementioned movie sites goes on to say that Connery has been contacted about the role:

“Allegedly, the 77-year-old Academy Award-winning actor has been involved in negotiations to land a villain role with the film’s producers since Daniel Craig has been tapped to bring Ian Fleming’s agent back to the big screen with Casino Royale.”

What do you think? Would Sean Connery make a good James Bond villain in Quantum of Solace?
