Mortal Engines
Peter Jackson’s adaptation of the Philip Reeve series has been set for a release on 14 December 2018. [Coming Soon]
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Sean Gunn sets up how the film opens — and seemingly how Yondu might find himself out of favour with his fellow Ravagers.
When the movie starts, it’s only a couple of months after the first movie. The Ravagers have not gone hard after Peter Quill after he double crossed them with the Infinity Stone.
There’s a little rumbling amongst the Ravagers, like, ‘Where does Yondu’s allegiance lay here? Is he going soft on Quill?’ So, the Ravagers have to make a decision of what they’re gonna do about Yondu and I think Kraglin is a key part of that.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Ben Mendelsohn discusses the differences between Vader and Director Krennic:
It’s fair to say Lord Vader and [Krennic] aren’t friendly. Darth is very much about the Force. Krennic is force – not really down with the whole mystical thing.
He is truly a man that has made his own way up the chain through his own abilities. His weapon, for instance, is a very old type of blaster, because he’s an old warrior dude. He’s been put in charge of making this thing happen. And it’s gonna get done!

Beauty & the Beast
Gaston attempts to woo Belle in a new picture from the film. [Empire]
Warcraft 2
Duncan Jones weighs in on how he’d do a sequel — less money to splash around, and less studio meddling, pretty much.
Under the right conditions, I’d love to do another one! https://t.co/oLR3JNpEHH

@cuuixsilver lower budget, less cooks in the kitchen. 😉

Game of Thrones
Watchers on the Wall has another report from filming at Los Barruecos in Spain, this time featuring images of a massive host of Lannister soldiers mobilising — presumably either to or from their purported assault on the Tyrell seat of Highgarden, lead by Jaime Lannister.

But the Lannsiters aren’t on their own, apparently — they look to be accompanied by forces lead by Randall Tarly, hinting that Sam’s former family’ has a larger role in the next season, which involves them betraying the Tyrells in favour of an alliance with the Lannisters.

Legends of Tomorrow
Maisie Richardson-Sellers says the second half of the season will explore the return of Rip Hunter, but with a bit of a twist:
He does come back, just not necessarily the Rip that we remember. That’s sort of what is a big part of the second half of the season.
Dark Matter
Production has begun on season three. [Spoiler TV]
The Walking Dead
The midseason finale, “Hearts Still Beating”, has been given an extended runtime, bumping its slot by an extra 25 minutes. [Comicbook.com]
Agents of SHIELD
Simmons’ new mission is revealed in a new clip from “Deals with our Devils”.
Supergirl
Finally, the Danvers family Thanksgiving (and Alex’s coming out to her mother) is rudely interrupted by a crossover-mandated space-time portal in a clip from the next episode. Rude.
