AN extra on the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises has died on set.

The male extra died from a heart attack during rehearsals.

It is not the first time tragedy has hit a Dark Knight film - actor Heath Ledger, who played arch villain The Joker - died in 2008 at the age of 28 after shooting the second film in the trilogy.

A spokesman for studio Warner Brothers said: "The studio can confirm that a male extra passed away while on a break during an off-set crowd rehearsal for a sequence with several hundred extras in early November.

"The production crew fully cooperated with the authorities' investigation, which established that he died of natural causes."

The British actress starred opposite CHRIS EVANS in Captain America: The First Avenger as love interest Peggy Carter, and revealed it would be "wonderful" to reprise her role.

Hayley said: "I haven't heard anything. There have been talks... there's a possibility."

She added: "I know they're either writing it now or they have written it by now, so I've moved on in another direction, but of course if they were to bring me back or ask if I was interested

I'd definitely love to go back and revisit that role and develop her. That would be wonderful."

A would-be robber dressed as Spiderman in North Carolina was beaten up by two feisty shop workers as he tried to steal from a till.

One brave convenience store staffer hit him in the stomach with a broom, while the other jumped in to rip off his mask.

Footage has emerged on the internet reportedly of filming of the Dark Knight Rises.

No real spoilers other than it's an action scene with a Bat vehicle and explosions.

Yes, we know the 2007 take on the adventures of Johnny Blaze was slow, slow, slow.

But Nic Cage is revving up the motorbike again for the 2012 sequel.

This time, Blaze is hiding out in Eastern Europe when he's called upon by shaven-headed monk Christopher Lambert (yes, the Highlander himself!) to stop the devil, who is trying to take human form.

According to the studio "Johnny, still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter, is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds).

"At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy -- and possibly rid himself of his curse forever."

Here's the trailer ...

Matrix star Laurence Fishburne has become the latest star to sign up for Superman: Man Of Steel.

He will take on the role of the DailyPlanet's Editor-In-Chief Perry White.

He joins Diane Keaton, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe for the ever-growing and impressive cast list which, of course, has Henry Cavill in
the lead leotard.

Cavill recently said of playing the Man of Steel: "I'm very proud to be British and playing an iconic American superhero... It means I'm doing something right somewhere."

He came close to landing the role of James Bond before Daniel Craig was
cast; so would he like another chance to slip into 007's tux?

"That would be absolutely amazing. If they approached me for that I'd leap at the opportunity to do it. But that's well away for the time being..."

●Man Of Steel is set to open in Summer 2012.

Marvel Comics have showcased the all new version of Spider-Man after killing of Peter Parker.

Miles Morales is a half-black, half-Latino Nerdy Teenager that editor-in-chief Axel Alonso says "speaks to our rich cultural heritage" in the US.

Parker died in Ultimate Spider-Man Issue 160 in June during a fight with Green Goblin.

"Going into this we knew we wanted to make a statement about the 21st century," said Alonso.

MICHAEL Caine has dropped a hint that although The Dark Knight Rises will be the last Batman from Christopher Nolan, he may not be quite ready to say goodbye to Alfred the butler just yet.

When asked about the future of the Batman franchise, he said: "I think it will be the last Batman movie that Chris Nolan will make. But I never say it's the last time for me for anything."

Before Caine's arrival in Batman Begins and Dark Knight, his pal Michael Gough
played the faithful servant to Bruce Wayne in the superhero film franchise.
