Michael Nyqvist Dies; Veteran Actor Was 56
Michael Nyqvist, a Swedish actor who took on the lead role in the initial big screen adaption of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, died on Tuesday
in Stockholm. He was 56 years old. Nyqvist portrayed journalist Mikael Blomkvist in the original film and its sequels, which were based on the
blockbuster novel by the same name. He had been suffering from lung cancer for over a year at the time of his death. "Michael's joy and passion
were infectious to those who knew and loved him," his family said in a statement yesterday, adding: "His charm and charisma were undeniable."
Gerard Butler, who starred opposite Nyqvist in the movie Hunter Killer, also paid tribute to the actor upon learning of his death. "I just found out

on Spider-Man’s first appearance in Captain America: Civil War and promises an epic team-up. But like so many before it in so many different films, that
never appears in the film. Lost trailer scenes are pretty common. In 2009, io9 rounded up nearly a dozen instances where epic scenes from movie trailers
never appeared in the film. When Rogue One hit theaters last year, it joined the roster of high-profile films to leave trailer footage on the cutting
room floor. The reason behind Homecoming’s missing scenes stands apart, however, as a ScreenCrush interview with director Jon Watts reveals. The shot
of Spider-Man and Iron Man airborne — as well as a shot of the movie’s villain, the Vulture, descending from a hotel atrium — were never actually going
to be in the final product. Watts says that the Vulture shot was created specifically for a Comic-Con sizzle reel when the project was still early in
filming. “That was never meant to be in the movie,” he says. “But I did use that angle for Vulture’s reveal at the beginning of the movie; Vulture’s
hovering, swooping towards the camera like that. I used that shot, it’s just no longer in an Atlanta hotel atrium.”....
