Obi-Wan Kenobi Spin-Off is Officially Developing
Fans have been asking for it forever, and now The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed that Lucasfilm is developing an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off.
THR also confirmed that Academy Award nominee Stephen Daldry is in talks to direct the film. Daldry has directed critically acclaimed films like Billy Elliot and The Hours.
Ewan McGregor, actor who played the Jedi mentor in the prequels, hasn’t been confirmed to reprise the role. However, he has shown interest in starring on a spin-off before, and his portrayal of the character is a fan-favorite.
The picture is only in early development and it doesn’t have a script yet.
First Teaser for The Punisher is Now Online
“The past is more than memories, is the devil you sold your soul to.”
Our first teaser at Marvel’s upcoming Netflix series The Punisher is here, and it looks brutal.
The teaser features Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher talking about his past. We also get a look at the traumatic events of Castle’s past, including the murdering of his family and his time serving in the Middle East.
Now, it’s important to note that this is not the footage shown during last month’s San Diego Comic-Con, the two trailers are reportedly very different and focus on two different aspects of the story.

Marvel’s Inhumans Presents Its Royal Family in Latest Promo
How does Medusa’s hair suddenly look so… good?
There is no denying there are a lot of mixed feeling out there about the upcoming Marvel’s Inhumans. Some people hate it already, others are sceptical but willing to give the show a chance, and some others already love it.
Well, we will only have to wait a couple of weeks to find out what the show will actually be like. Meanwhile, Marvel has presented a promo featuring the royal family and main characters.
In it, we couldn’t help but notice Medusa’s hair looks quite different from what we’ve seen before. Is this the definite look we’re going to see on the TV show? Or is this simply a new and improved wig that was only used to film the promo?
A royal family divided. Watch Marvel’s #Inhumans first in @IMAX theatres 9/1, and the complete series on ABC 9/29. https://t.co/ScxeXPtxym pic.twitter.com/WkfAq6sCs1

Superman’s Appearance in Justice League May Have Just Been Spoiled
POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE AHEAD.
Could Superman show up… in Venezuela?
It’s not rare when toys spoil a comic book movie, especially in the DCEU it seems. Now, the latest instance of this happening seems to be related to the return of Superman in Justice League.
The description of a Funko Figure has potentially given away the exact moment when Superman will come in to help the Justice League.
The Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Flash figures are barely holding their own against invading Parademons and an axe-wielding Steppenwolf. If only Superman — in Funko figure form — was here… LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! Is that…is that Superman?? IT IS! It’s the Superman Justice League Movie Funko Pop Vinyl Figure and it resurrected itself moments before Steppenwolf skewered Wonder Woman with a hefty chunk of Venezuela!
Could this be Zack Snyder’s way of getting rid of the backlash he’s faced for destroying Gotham and Metropolis? Could audiences really care more about the destruction of two fictional cities than the one of a real-life country?
Either way, it seems like Superman will show up during a pivotal moment, just in time to save the day.
This potential spoiler also comes just days after Donald Trump threatened the Venezuelan government with military intervention, so Snyder could be setting himself up for some backlash. However, it’d certainly be interesting to see how he and Joss Whedon portray the country, given Venezuela’s current political instability.
Watch Iron Fist Punch Daredevil in the Face in Final Trailer for The Defenders

Paul Bettany Confirms Whether or Not Vision Will Survive Avengers: Infinity War
With one of the Infinity Stones smack in the middle of Vision’s forehead, many fans have feared he’ll be one of the casualties during Avengers: Infinity War.
Luckily, based on what Paul Bettany (who plays Vision) said, we might see Thanos remove the android’s Infinity Stone without killing him. Bettany confirmed he’s returning to Avengers 4 now that it has started filming.
According to Comic Book Movie, here’s what the actor had to say:
It felt like the biggest movie that I’ve ever made and will ever make, and we’ve still got to make the [next] one. It’s fucking crazy! I would come in, often at dawn because of the length of my make-up, and there would just be all of these twinkling lights. It looked like a town, but it wasn’t. It was where all of the trailers were. It’s massive! The call sheets are bananas. When you see the list of cast members, you’re like, ‘How is anybody else making a film in Hollywood, this year? How are they getting films financed? Everybody is in this!’
Then he added some insight about what is like to work in the movies:
[The Russos] are so great. They’ve got so much trust, from the cast and from Kevin Feige and Marvel, in general. They’re incredibly on top of the day, when you show up, and they’re very open to your input and collaboration. They were incredibly relaxed. It was a wonderful, relaxed set that was stress-free. It was a stress-free set.
Some fans have already speculated that Vision might turn human after the stone is removed, we’ll have to wait and see.
