Does Alleged Star Wars: Episode 9 Art Give Us An Intriguing Look At New Characters?

Get another look at Hellboy in new footage and new pictures. Plus, what’s to come on Riverdale. May the spoilers be with you, always!

Star Wars: Episode 9

An alleged piece of poster art — presumably created for merchandising purposes — has hit the web, giving us our potential first look at some intriguing imagery from the film. There’s new crimson stormtroopers, a Y-Wing, what appears to be the Knights of Ren, Naomi Ackie’s new character, and even Kylo Ren wearing a repaired version of the mask he shattered in The Last Jedi.

The costumes worn by Finn, Rey, and Poe seemingly match up with what little we got to see of the characters in a photo released by J.J. Abrams to mark the end of production last month.

Mark Hamill himself has cast doubt on the veracity of the poster, but, given Hamill’s penchant for twitter trickery and the fact that Lucasfilm previously declared that the merchandise art for Solo: A Star Wars Story that leaked ahead of time was unofficial (up until the moment it started appearing on toy boxes), it’s hard to say that this is necessarily a definitive debunk or obfuscation.

So who can say? Someone at Lucasfilm in like, two weeks at the Star Wars Celebration Episode 9 panel, probably.

In potentially related news, Keri Russell revealed her mysterious Star Wars character has “the coolest costume” on a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Could such a cool costume be that helmeted individual on this poster? OK, we’re exhausted now.


The Warning

Patrick Schwarzenegger, Rupert Everett, Alex Pettyfer, Alice Eve, Annabelle Wallis, Benedict Samuel, Charlotte Le Bon, Thomas Jane, Tomasz Kot, Kylie Bunbury, and Garance Marillier (Raw) have joined the cast of The Warning, an upcoming sci-fi thriller exploring “the meaning of life when vastly disparate lives collide in interweaving stories set in the near-future earth.”

There are very few people I love in this business as much as @rosariodawson! So when Ro-Dawg Rebooted with us, I was reminded how she can take boring old Kevin Smith lines and make magic! Getting the always-in-demand Dawson into @jayandsilentbob Reboot required Ro to go above and beyond and take a few flights to get #neworleans. It would’ve been more than understandable if she couldn’t make it. But my friend made moves and interrupted her busy life and work schedule to come play with us in the #viewaskewniverse once again. I can honestly say she made the movie better! When she was wrapped, Rosario gave me this giant hug and said “I’m happy you’re still here.” This woman is who I aspire to be in life: a consummate professional and an incomparable human being. The only stain on her otherwise stellar resume is that she’s now played two #viewaskew characters. One more and they’ll kick her out of Hollywood. #KevinSmith #rosariodawson #jayandsilentbobreboot #clerks2 #friendship #sabanfilms
