 |  We don't wish to seem self-obsessed or anything, but this week really is all about us. On Monday we teamed up with the X-Men (we like to think this basically makes us a real-life Excalibur) to unveil our 25 amazing Days Of Future Past covers. On Thursday the issue finally hit shelves, bringing with it word on what exactly has happened to Rogue, what we can expect from Apocalypse and the strange case of Wolverine's claws - as well as lots more on films from The Grand Budapest Hotel to Edge Of Tomorrow to Filipino exploitation flicks. And today, glorious Friday, brings with it the promise of podcasty goodness to round out this week of treats. So while it's all about us, it's all for you Damien dear readers, all for you.

  See Loki Play Captain America In Thor: The Dark World
If you're a regular listener to the Empire podcast, you may remember our Thor: The Dark World spoiler interview with Tom Hiddleston, where he told us that he got to wear the Captain America suit for a certain scene in the film. Just to prove that he wasn't telling porkies, here is evidence of that day from the film's home entertainment bonus features. Hiddleston wasn't kidding when he claimed that the suit was a good fit.

|  | | The Empire Podcast #96
On this week's Empire Podcast, Peter Berg desperately tries to avoid giving away any spoilers about his latest, Lone Survivor, while documentary director Alex Gibney is more than happy to talk about Lance Armstrong, what with his new film being called The Armstrong Lie and all. |

|  | | 14 Pieces Of Must-See Breaking Bad Fan Art
Late last year, we asked our worryingly talented Photoshopping forumites to make some Breaking Bad art in honour of the show's Complete Series Boxset release, and they delivered better than Los Pollos Hermanos. Here is our longlist of the best of the best, with each entry an absolute beauty. Bask in their brilliance, and try to forget that the family funtime adventures of Walter and Jesse really are over - and remember: you could always start from the beginning again... |
|  | | Movie Titles That Spoil The Movie
Your time is precious, and maybe that's why certain films go out of their way to make clear what's in store. Not for them the tease or the slow build; in these instances, the outcome is clear. As Lone Survivor hits cinemas, we've gathered together some similarly spoilerific movies. Each of these titles gives away crucial points about how the film ends. It's thoughtful, really: these could literally save you hours of your life. This article, obviously, contains spoilers! |

|  | | Video Interview: Sylvester Stallone And Robert De Niro Talk Grudge Match
Before you watch this genuinely fun interview with two guys called Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro, know this: there's a scene in two-headed boxing comeback caper Grudge Match where De Niro does a bit of puppetry, and another where he does a bit of farting. You may want to re-read that sentence, but it's true. With that in mind, click play and prepare to laugh (hopefully). |

Lone Survivor 
A severe portrait of fortitude under extreme pressure, somewhat marred by blinkered politics. Also Out
 
Rush 
It rarely deviates from formula, but Rush wins big, delivering the most exciting F1 footage created for film. Like Hunt, it is sexy, funny, full of thrills. Like Lauda, it is intelligent, a bit blunt, but ultimately touching. Also Out
