A director has been attached to the project. Gareth Edwards has been given the reins to take over the development of the movie that has long been in development hell. Still attached to potentially star is Jared Leto, who took to social media to confirm it.

It looks like Paramount is keeping the Kelvin timeline alive, to a certain degree. With Quentin dropping out of directing his version (though that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen), and Noah Hawley’s pitch being a little too close to home, it seems that the original time travel pitch for Star Trek 4 still has some likelihood.

The Janelle Monae horror movie is the most recent movie to skip a theatrical release. On VOD as of Sept 18 for $20. With international theatrical release on the same day.

Rumored to be looking for a “Joel Kinnaman type” to play Kraven.

Negan

AMC is rumored to be giving Jeffrey Dean Morgan just what he wants. It will be a limited series all about Negan.

Spin-offs for EVERYONE! It is being said that there are 3 spin-offs in the works from the fan favorite series. Ahsoka, Boba, and Cara Dune?

Ending with a movie after season 4?

Would WB conclude the story as a limited series? If the next movie (or 2) doesn’t do well, that is exactly what might happen.

Shia Labeouf rumored to be in the running to be the MCU’s Iceman.

WB is also rumored to be making 2 more Mask movies. With Jim Carrey supposedly attached to return for both.
