Second trailer for The Purge: Anarchy

I will admit it looks more interesting with a full look, but I am still going to pass. Originally set for release in June, the new release date for The Purge: Anarchy is July 18th.

Frank Grillo joins The Purge 2

Universal sure isn't wasting any time with The Purge 2, that's for sure. Frank Grillo has joined the cast in a lead role that is unspecified as of right now. The film has already received a release date of June 20, 2014 so all of the prep and filming needs to be quick to make that date. Grillo has recently starred in Warrior and Homefront and will be seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

The Purge told the story of a society that suspended all law and order for one night out of the year to purge criminals and deviants. It did fairly well at the box office and even earned its own "scare zone" at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood. There are no immediate details on exactly what the sequel will be about, but I don't think it will be much different.

[UPDATE] Frank Grillo confirmed for Captain America sequel

I mentioned not too long ago that Frank Grillo (Warrior) was in the casting process for an unknown villain role for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We now have confirmation that Grillo will be playing the role of Crossbones in the 2014 sequel.

If you know nothing about Crossbones, basically he is Brock Rumlow; a marksman who later became a henchman of Johann Schmidt (aka, Red Skull). Before joining a school of criminals where he became Bingo Brock, he was the leader of a gang called Savage Crims. Crossbones is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. In other words, he is a pretty badass Marvel super villain.

Frank Grillo joining Captain America 2?

Frank Grillo (Warrior, The Grey) confirmed via Twitter that he is in the testing phase for a villain role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The other villain roles have yet to be announced nor is there confirmation that Grillo is in fact joining the cast, but I think he would make a pretty decent villain. I can't wait to hear who the other villains are.

So far the only confirmations we have are Chris Evans returning as Steve Rogers (aka, Captain America) and Anthony Mackie who will be playing Falcon. It is also likely that Sebastian Stan will return to play Bucky Barnes (aka, The Winter Soldier). There are rumors circulating around a major female lead role but no one has been cast yet. The role hasn't even been named yet.
