Thor: Ragnarok Set Footage Teases First Look At Valkyrie

Benedict Cumberbatch and Scott Derrickson discuss whether Doctor Strange will be Team Cap or Team Iron Man. Gareth Edwards discusses Jyn Erso’s emotional journey in Rogue One. Plus, we could be close to hearing more news about the next season of The X-Files, as well as what’s to come in the DC/CW TV universe. To me, my spoilers!

Thor: Ragnarok Set Footage Teases First Look At Valkyrie

Thor: Ragnarok

Marvel posted a Facebook Live video from the final day of filming on the movie, with the cast and crew vaguely discussing their time on the film — however, most interestingly, it gives us our first decent look at Tessa Thompson, still in makeup for her role as the Asgardian warrior Valkyrie.

Director Taika Waititi also mentions a character by the name of Miek — one of Hulk’s allies in the Planet Hulk storyline from the comics — is in the movie, lending more credence that the film will borrow a lot of elements from that story.

Doctor Strange

Benedict Cumberbatch sees Doctor Strange as a mediator between the two warring sides of Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe:

I think he has to be Team Doctor Strange. His job title is ‘defender of the fabric of reality.’ I mean, he fights other-dimensional threats that are beyond the perception of that very potent squabble. I’d like to think he’s going to help them both, rather than take sides.

Something director Scott Derrickson agrees with:

I think Doctor Strange will always be on his own team. It’s part of what I liked about him in the comics, is that he would have interactions and episodes and situations where he would deal with the Avengers and different characters, but part of what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange is that he stands in a very lonely position. He is the gatekeeper between our world and other dimensions, so he doesn’t really stand on anyone’s side other than the side of protecting our world from the malevolent threats that only he can protect the world from.

The Ancient One asks Doctor Strange to have a good trip (double meanings!) in a new TV spot.


Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Gareth Edwards says that the film’s emotional journey for Jyn won’t unfold as fans expect it to:

Events take place that just shatter her life and send her off to basically be raised as a soldier in the midst of a war. She ends up not the person she was supposed to be.

Even though we’re not telling the story of Luke Skywalker, it was important to me that we capture the same themes and emotion. But the film doesn’t unfold how you think. It’s not the same path as Star Wars.
