Meanwhile, you can rest easy: The new Wonder Woman has Lynda Carter’s seal of approval.

Spider-Man: Homecoming
Michael Keaton sits down with Ellen DeGeneres to discuss Vulture’s role in the film.
Meanwhile, Michael Giacchino’s score is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Head over there to see the track list — and how the film’s events chronologically unfold, in Giacchino’s trademark goofy track title style. Also, the Spider-Man TV show theme is in there, so this amazing music is seemingly in the film after all.
Transformers: The Last Knight
Get your first look at Steelbane in this new TV spot:
And here’s another intense one, featuring exploding knights, objects in space, and Optimus Prime body-slamming Bumblebee.
The Defenders
Co-showrunner Marco Ramirez teases that Sigourney Weaver’s mysterious villain Alexandra will be getting into a few fight scenes herself during the series:
[Weaver] said, “I’ve never been a martial arts kind of gal, I’m more of a hold-the-flamethrower kind of gal.” I’d love to tattoo that interaction onto my forehead forever. She was really willing to do things, to really get dirty, it was wonderful.

Supergirl
Floriana Lima will return as Maggie next season, but only in a recurring capacity.

The 100
According to TV Guide, Tasya Teles’ Echo will be a series regular in the next season.
iZombie
Liv eats the brains of a conspiracy theorist in the synopsis for episode 11, “Conspiracy Weary”.
Liv (Rose McIver) and Blaine (David Anders) come to the rescue of one of their own. They consume the brains of a conspiracy theorist and paranoia ensues. Meanwhile, as they continue to search for conspiracy theories that may or may not exist, Liv researches Major’s (Robert Buckley) new friend. Finally, Ravi (Rahul Kohli) makes a surprising discovery of his own.
Doctor Who
Sad news: Hayley Atwell told GeekFeed that she’s no longer interested in playing The Doctor.
I don’t want to play it. No. It’s just not my thing, but I really respect it. I’m a big fan of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, though. She plays the lead in Fleabag. There were talks of her being the next Doctor, and she’s so funny and eccentric and unique; she’d be great. I can’t really see anyone other than her playing it.
In happier news, Rachel Talalay revealed she’s directing this year’s Christmas episode, Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat’s last on the show.
Yes, thrilled to be doing #DoctorWho Xmas episode (and what a script!). Very sad it’s our last.

A press release for Mark Gatiss’s Ice Warrior episode, “Empress of Mars”, has been revealed:
The Doctor, Bill and Nardole arrive on Mars, and find themselves in an impossible conflict between Ice Warriors and Victorian soldiers. As the Martian hive awakens around them, the Doctor faces a unique dilemma – this time the humans, not the Ice Warriors are the invaders. When Earth is invading Mars, whose side is he on?
And here‘s one for this week’s episode, “The Lie of the Land” — and its trailer, in case you missed it.
The world is gripped by a mass delusion and only Bill Potts can see the truth. When even the Doctor is fighting on the wrong side, it’s up to Bill to convince the Time Lord that humanity is in deadly danger. And if she can’t do that, she may just have to kill her best friend.
Preacher
Finally, AMC has released new images from season two — you can see a few more at the link. [ScreenRant]
