Captain Marvel

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Niki Caro (Whale Rider), Lesli Linka Glatter (TV’s Homeland and Mad Men) and Lorene Scafaria (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World) are on the final shortlist to direct the film.


Avengers: Infinity War

Joe Russo denies rumours that the X-Men are being lined up to appear in the movie somehow:

As far as we know, right now there isn’t talk regarding the X-Men. I don’t know if behind-the-scenes there were conversations or if there are conversations happening but we certainly haven’t heard of any.

Seth MacFarlane Sci-Fi Dramedy

Outlander

Ronald D. Moore discusses the setting of season three and the changes it will bring to the show:

There’s an extended journey across the Atlantic and then the story eventually goes to Jamaica, the Caribbean and ending up in the New World. Season three will be as different to season two as season two was to season one.

It’s exciting creatively; it’s very hard in terms of the production… You are doing a whole new series with every season. So that’s very difficult. Scouting new locations, building new sets, bringing in new cast members, new costumes, different eras. It increases the expense, it increases the time necessary to prep everything, to shoot everything… So it makes it more difficult and it also takes more mental energy having to crack new problems.
