Avengers: Infinity War
Speaking with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Robert Downey, Jr revealed he plans to retire from playing Iron Man “before it’s embarrassing”.
Everyone says to me it’s like a glove that fits so well. I have to start over every time but I am starting over with a pretty solid base. I just never want to blow it for the last six or seven [movies] I have done by dropping the ball because I decided to go do it one more time. I just want to hang up my jersey before it’s embarrassing.
In related news, here’s a set video of Doctor Strange casting various spells to be added in post.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
James Gunn revealed he’s narrowed the film’s theoretical soundtrack to 181 songs he’d like to have in the film.
I have it down to 181 songs. That list could get longer. https://t.co/byRjdfSa07

Aquaman
A Reddit user has posted a description of the trailer to the infamous DCEU Leaks subcommunity. Take it with a grain of salt, though, because the write-up makes it sound like every movie trailer ever made.
It was around 1 min 30 secs long. … It opens with some mellow piano music, showing Amnesty Bay with a voiceover from Momoa. The music then turns cinematic, Zimmer style I would say. We get various shots of the characters, Mera, Murk etc etc. The teaser ended with a really really cool scene of Arthur standing on a rock type thing and activates his trident and creates a massive wave.
Deadpool 2
These recent set pics depict Wade Wilson having a Blade Runner moment.
Ryan Reynolds was seen with his full Wade Wilson makeup on the set of #Deadpool2 for a scene in the rain! https://t.co/MHKyGIUyeu

Atomic Blonde
The final trailer sees Charlize Theron beating the tar out of people, as she’s wont to do.
Teen Wolf
Linden Ashby warned TV Line that many characters will die in the show’s final season.
It’s a really cool season, and yes, a lot of people actually do die. It’s really about fear and people coming together in different camps, and it’s about intolerance. It’s about a lot of things that are pretty current right now. I think it’s going to be good.
