Supergirl casts another DC comics character. The cast and crew of Doctor Strange discuss the Sorcerer Supreme’s origins. Syfy has three new shows in the works — including a Grant Morrison adaptation. Plus, new looks at Resident Evil: The Final Chapter and the return of Gotham. To me, my spoilers!
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Tom Holland has posted a cryptic new image to Instagram of him and several other members of the Homecoming cast at Porsche’s headquarters in Atlanta, where the film is currently in production.
While it might be a personal visit during a break from filming, Porsche’s HQ was actually used in Age of Ultron and Civil War as the location of the New Avengers’ base, so there’s a good chance that Spider-Man pays the building a visit in the film.
Meg

Doctor Strange
The cast and crew explain Stephen Strange’s origin story in a new featurette.
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Here’s a new motion picture for the final entry in the saga.

The Flash
Kevin Smith tweeted a copy of the script he’s directing, the seventh episode of the season, deliberately covering up the title:

However, keen-eyed fans (who then saturated the image) revealed that you can see the title at the top of the page underneath the cover, revealing what looks to be “Killer Frost” as its title, indicating a return of Caitlin Snow’s villainous alter-ego. [Spoiler TV]
MacGyver
Here’s a synopsis for the second episode, “Metal Saw”, guest-starring Amy Acker:
MacGyver and the team attempt to rescue Sarah (Amy Acker), Jack’s former CIA partner/ex-girlfriend who went missing in Venezuela after she obtained evidence to take down an international arms dealer.
