https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYY-uOS8qag
Barry Allen might be out of commission, but another superhero might become the Central City protector. The CW has released a promo for next week’s episode of The Flash, “The Elongated Knight Rises,” which promises to be big on elastic heroism.
Currently, Barry Allen is out of the superhero game, but the supervillains of Central City still pose a threat. The surprise return of the Trickster means it’s up to Ralph Dibny to step up to the plate. Donning his proto-costume, the Elongated Man is poised to reveal himself to the world.
Here is the synopsis for the upcoming episode:
THE RISE OF THE HERO — When a familiar villain returns to terrorize Central City, Ralph (guest star Hartley Sawyer) must rise up to defend the innocent while Barry (Grant Gustin) is detained by his trial. Meanwhile, Barry searches for the strength to keep his optimism alive in the face of his new circumstances.
“The Elongated Knight Rises” airs next Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

New Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Set Photos Released
Harry Potter fans get ready, Warner Bros. has released new set photos for the upcoming second instalment of Fantastic Beasts coming later in 2018, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
The latest batch of images show Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander getting a postcard from Paris where the new film is largely set, and then Newt and Jacob (Dan Fogler) on the streets of France’s capital in 1927, one year after the events of the first movie.
Earlier this month, we got a glimpse of Jude Law’s Dumbledore, who’s pictured in an office. But who is the mystery man behind him? Many social media users are speculating he could be the one and only Nicholas Flamel, AKA the man who discovered the Elixir of Life and co-created the Philosopher’s Stone with Dumbledore.
And who can forget the man responsible for all the havoc in the first instalment, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp). After escaping MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) custody, he’s pictured here with his loyal follower Vinda Rosier, played by Poppy Corby-Tuech.
At a fan Q&A last year, director, David Yates, promised a “grittier” film.
“The first film had a level of whimsy; the characters felt like children in grown-up bodies,” he said.”In this movie, it gets grittier and more nuanced and detailed. It’s quite a romantic film, it’s a thriller, it’s quite an interesting combination of genres you rarely see together. I think it will surprise people.”
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released on November 16, 2018.

Kid Flash To Join Legends of Tomorrow
After much speculation, The Flash’s Wally West will be joining the Legends of Tomorrow team… at least for now.
Many fans have suggested that Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West from The Flash would make a good addition to the show’s cast, and now star Brandon Routh has effectively confirmed the character’s inclusion.
During last weekend’s DC in DC event, Routh said that Kid Flash will become a member of the team “for a little bit.” He has not been confirmed to be a permanent addition to the team.
In Legends’ midseason finale, the team obtained two newbies, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) and Citizen Cold (Wentworth Miller), but neither are a permanent fixture. However, it’s not known whether Wally will stick around or merely serve as another rotating cast member.
Legends of Tomorrow returns to The CW Feb. 12.

The CW has released some first look photos for next weeks episode, “We Fall.”
In some of these photos, we see William (Jack Moore) on the run, in danger as a direct result of Cayden James’ evil. We also see Oliver doing his best to get his son to safety, but it looks as though that action has put him in the crosshairs as well.
Another thing we see in these photos is Team Arrow working together.
You can check out the photos below as well as the synopsis for the upcoming episode.
WILLIAM LANDS IN CAYDEN JAMES’ CROSSHAIRS — Cayden James (guest star Michael Emerson) ups the ante by launching his plan to take control of every aspect of the city. Despite the scope of Cayden’s plan, Oliver (Stephen Amell) is determined to foil it with just the Original Team Arrow — and without the aid of Rene (Rick Gonzalez), Dinah (Juliana Harkavy), or Curtis (Echo Kellum). But things get complicated when William (guest star Jack Moore) is endangered as a result of Cayden’s handiwork.
New episodes of Arrow air on Thursday nights at 9pm ET on The CW.

Release Year For Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 Revealed
The Guardians will be returning to the big screen for Vol. 3 of Guardians of the Galaxy.
During a short Q&A session on Twitter last night, Gunn reaffirmed that the third installment will hit theaters sometime in 2020, but a release year was all Gunn was able to share as Marvel has yet to confirm any release dates beyond their Phase Three films.
https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/952350615476170752
Details about the third instalment are very limited, but Gunn has also previously teased that he’s talked with Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige about other stories that could spinoff of the main Guardians franchise.
“When we’re talking about Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and that story, that’s a story that will lead to other stories,” he said. “It’s innate to the DNA that that’s the end of a trilogy but it’s the beginning of a whole other element of the Marvel Cosmic universe.”
We’ll the Guardians back in action May 8 with Avengers: Infinity War.
