Courtesy of a promotional photo from Marvel Collector Corps, a new look at Spider-Man’s homemade costume from Homecoming has been unveiled.
How much of this suit will he actually wear in the movie? Speculate in the comments below.
“A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.”
Spider-Man: Homecoming features Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, Tyne Daly, Tony Revolori, Bokeem Woodbine, Hannibal Buress, and Martin Starr.
Mark Hamill saw two of his worlds collide yesterday when he found a mashup between the latest poster from The Last Jedi and Batman: The Animated Series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hamill took it upon himself to create a hashtag for the mashup: #Thelastjoker. Hamill posted the parody after spending the weekend at Star Wars Celebration, where he shared lots of behind the scenes info about the Star Wars movies, fond memories of the late Carrie Fisher, and spent time meeting fans in his now infamous hideous leaf cardigan.
Of course, once Hamill shared the poster, it invited many of his followers to share their own favorite parodies. Click through the gallery below to see some of our favorites.
The Last Jedi is the eighth installment in the Star Wars saga. Starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Issac, Kelly Marie Tran, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, the cast also includes Adam Driver, Anthony Daniels, Gwendolyn Christie, Lupita Nyong’o, Benicio Del Toro, Domnhall Gleeson and Andy Serkis. The film is set to release Christmas, 2017.

2. Toying Around
Here’s an adorable parody of toy-sized characters with full-sized ambitions! Thanks to twitter user “@Hamsterhashtags” for the share.
3. The “Where’s The Rest of the Cast?”
Twitter user “@daisysridly” felt more characters should be on the poster, in favor of the clear villain.
4. The “Make Finn a Jedi” Edit
And finally, Tumblr user “ReyDay” did something many of us were thinking and put John Boyega’s Finn nice and big on the poster. Ever since Finn picked up the lightsaber and successfully wielded it in The Force Awakens, fans have been rallying for confirmation that he will be trained alongside Rey in the ways of the force. Here’s hoping that The Last Jedi will take Finn under his raggedy cloak alongside his daughter (???).
Speaking to MTV, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy discussed when we’ll know what the next Star Wars spinoff movie is.
“I think we’re getting close. My hope would be sometime around the summer. I never want to predict the creative process because it is its own thing, so we’re in the midst of those discussions right now.”
What could the next one-off film in the Star Wars universe be? Fans have been absolutely clamoring for an Obi-Wan led story, although Ewan McGregor has hinted that there are no plans for it at the moment.

On Sale This July!
The news we’ve all been waiting for is that director, Taika Waititi, will play the mountain creature Korg in Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, via JoBlo. The kiwi filmmaker who shot to fame with his indie flick Hunt for the Wilderpeople, has had important roles in all of his movies, so this news comes as no surprise.
Speaking at a press event, Waititi explained the decision to cast himself as the Planet Hulk character:
“Obviously, being made of rocks, we wanted somebody like The Rock to play him, but there wasn’t enough chicken or salmon in Australia to sustain he and Chris. I never thought I’d be playing the most lovable character in the film.”
He is clearly a man and an actor with exquisite comic timing, so his contribution to Thor: Ragnarok in rock form is sure to provide even more hilarity in a movie that is shaping up to be the funniest yet.
Korg is a member of the Kronan race, a creature of huge scale and very tough exterior. Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, destroyed another of his race in one smash in Thor: The Dark World in 2013, so that provides some context and an idea of the imagery to expect (see featured image). Waititi’s Korg will be an ally to the God of Thunder in Thor: Ragnarok, and the director explained the importance of his character:
“We wanted to change the idea of what a hulking guy made of rocks could be. He’s huge and heavy, but with a light soul. We wanted to make him funny and a entry point into this world. And Thor needs friends.”
Thor: Ragnarok hits theaters November 3rd, 2017. Taika Waititi directs and stars, with Chris Hemsworth returning as the God of Thunder. They are joined by Cate Blanchett, Tessa Thompson, Jaimie Alexander, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Goldblum, Mark Ruffalo, Ray Stevenson and Sam Neill.
What are you expecting Taika Waititi to bring to Thor: Ragnarok? Let us know in the comments.
The trailer for American Assassin looks like a lot of the same, a mashup of The Accountant, The Recruit, and countless other spy/assassin genre pics. But it does have Michael Keaton playing the badass this time around, so it has that going for it.
Check out the trailer:
Black ops recruit Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien) is reeling from the death of his fiancée in a terrorist attack when he is assigned to shadowy CIA figure Stan Hurley (Michael Keaton) to receive special training in tracking terrorists. Rapp and Hurley are then dispatched to join a Turkish agent on a mission to stop a mysterious operative from unleashing chaos of international proportions.
Yes, it all looks very run-of-the-mill, and the mid-September release date isn’t that promising. But, like I said, Michael Keaton is playing the seasoned killer! It can’t be all bad, even if it is pretty much all bad in the end. Don’t hold out hope for this one, but it looks to be worth your time if you’re way into generic thrillers.
American Assassin (blah title, named after the Vince Flynn novel) also stars Dylan O’Brien, Taylor Kitsch, and Scott Adkins, and is directed by Michael Cuesta (Kill the Messenger). It opens September 15.
Netflix announced Tuesday, a new animated series featuring Carmen Sandiego is coming out in 2019. The streaming service also released a poster featured above.
Carmen Sandiego is back and ready for a new crop of international capers packed with thrilling adventure and intrigue. This fresh take presents an intimate look into Carmen’s past where viewers will not only follow her escapades but also learn WHO in the world is Carmen Sandiego and WHY she became a super thief.
Gina Rodriguez will voice Carmen Sandiego, Finn Wolfhard will voice Player, Carmen’s chief accomplice, and friend. The series will be 20 episodes, 22-minutes each, and will premiere in 2019.
The animated series is produced by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, CJ Kettler is executive producer, Caroline Fraser is the executive in charge of production, Visual design by Kevin Dart (Mr. Peabody & Sherman) and Chromosphere, and the animation studio is DHX Media.
Are you excited for the return of Carmen Sandiego?
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2 kept a smile on my face from beginning to end. Funny, action packed, emotional, and tons of surprises. Thumbs up. pic.twitter.com/aIz7Redwin
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 is exciting, funny, gorgeous & a helluva tearjerker. For many, it will become their new favorite Marvel movie pic.twitter.com/Po4ZOSPs8Q
I saw #GotGVol2, & though slightly uneven,I got sniffly,I did a few side looks,I laughed a lot, & overall really enjoyed it! I want more! pic.twitter.com/qe4Ek6mXBk
“Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.”
GotG Vol. 2 stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord/Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Kurt Russel as Ego The Living Planet, Karen Gillian as Nebula, Dave Bautista as Drax, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, and Sylvester Stallone in a currently unknown role. The film is directed by James Gunn.
Peter Sciretta says, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is funnier than the original, a ton of surprises, and an unexpected emotional profoundness.”
The critics’ consensus is the film has a great mix of action, drama and humour. Specifically, it is Vin Diesel’s Baby Groot and Dave Bautista’s Drax, who are said to be highlights of the movie.
“Guardians 2 kept a smile on my face from beginning to end,” says Steven Weintraub. “Funny, action packed, emotional, and tons of surprises.” Mike Ryan claims the film “Takes the EMPIRE “split up your characters” strategy” and does it quite well. “Drax is a hoot,” he says. “Baby Groot steals the show.”
According to Screen Rant, there are going to be several post-credit scenes. Initially, the amount was thought to be four, but this is not the case. On Twitter, director James Gunn makes it clear there will be one more scene.
In March, Gunn gave hints of what fans can expect, and it sure sounds promising. “All I’ll say is, unless you have to rush out because your mother is dying, stay through the entire end credits,” he says.
Gunn did not reveal any more details on the post-credits scenes. No doubt, Marvel Studios is keeping this information under tight wraps, and we will have to wait for the premiere.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep together while they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s real father. Old foes will become new allies, and fan-favorite characters from the comics will come to our heroes’ aid.
The movie stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel as Groot, and Bradley Cooper as Rocket. Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Sean Gunn. Sylvester Stallone will play Skatar, and Kurt Russell is playing Ego.
Whether or not there will be secret cameos have yet to known. Perhaps there will be a surprise gag on the likes of The Avengers‘ shawarma scene. Or maybe Gunn and Marvel have something else in the works.
Since Gunn is signing on for a third film, anything is possible for the Guardians at this point. In the MCU, the sky is not the limit.
After last week’s exciting announcement, a new video featuring Star Wars legend Warwick Davis takes viewers onto the Han Solo set, via Coming Soon. The footage, presented by everyone’s favorite Ewok, doesn’t show much – in fact, it shows very little at all – but it opens the door just a crack and refreshes our memory of the awesome new campaign.
The Star Wars Force for Change campaign, in partnership with Omaze, was revealed on ‘Good Morning America’ last Tuesday with the help of Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill. The initiative offers a series of “ultimate fan experiences” while raising money for UNICEF and Starlight Children’s Foundation.
Have a watch of Warwick Davis’s “guided tour” (ahem…) with appearances from Han Solo’s directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
The as yet untitled Han Solo film is currently in production and (fairly) heavily under wraps. Few details have emerged, but we know that it is going to span a seven-year period of Han’s life from the age of 18 to 24, during which we will learn the meaning behind his name and how he met his furry friend, the lovable Wookie Chewbacca.
Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller from a screenplay by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan, the movie stars Alden Ehrenrich as Han Solo with Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian. Also in the cast are Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Michael K. Williams, Ian Kenny, Emilia Clarke, and should we now assume Warwick Davis will appear?
The film is slated for a May 25, 2018 release. What secrets, if any, can you uncover from watching this video? Let us know in the comments.
