There are some very weird rumours about Supreme Leader Snoke’s appearance in The Last Jedi. Loki’s plans in Thor: Ragnarok are revealed. Josh Brolin smashes a mirror for Deadpool 2. Plus, new images from Once Upon a Time‘s return, Star Trek: Discovery episode titles, and new footage from Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Behold, spoilers!
Power Pack
Salt shakers are the ready, because That Hashtag Show claims that a Power Pack movie, based on the comic book family of superheroic kids, is being considered once more for a movie adaptation in the Post-Avengers-4 MCU.
Avengers 4
Speaking with Forbes, Frank Grillo revealed there’s some forthcoming “news” regarding his character, Crossbones, indicating he may have survived his seemingly fatal explosion in Civil War.
It’s great to be part of Marvel too, and I have three boys who are fanatical about Marvel, and I was surprised not too long ago because there is some news that nobody knows yet, to do with my character, that’s going to be really interesting and I’m excited about that.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
In an interview with Andrew Garfield about Andy Serkis’ directing of Breathe, the actor recalls a meeting with Serkis while he was filming Supreme Leader Snoke’s scenes for The Last Jedi “dressed in his performance-capture leotard and the required white dots, and even wore faux hair on his face”. Considering everything we’ve seen of Supreme Leader Snoke so far shows him as very much hairless, the faux hair could be indicative of us seeing another different look for Snoke at some point in the film.

Artemis Fowl
Variety reports Dame Judi Dench has joined Kenneth Branagh’s Artemis Fowl adaptation in an undisclosed role.
Shazam!
What’s Filming reports the fast-tracked Shazam! goes behind the cameras in Ontario, Canada next year.
Thor: Ragnarok
Speaking with Screen Rant, producer Brad Winderbaum revealed that Loki is (naturally) responsible for the arrival of Hela.
[When] we left Loki, he kind of achieved his goals, he became the king of Asgard, and he is ruling that place. And what we come to learn, what Thor comes to learn early on, is that there’s a lot of terrible things in the cosmos that just shouldn’t be that way. And we learn that Odin was doing far more than it seemed on the surface to keep the universe safe.
There were all these threats that he had quelled or was keeping at bay, using his strength and power to do so, that Loki was completely unprepared for. So he becomes the King of Asgard, everything is great, it’s a good party. But he failed to realise the threats that were just over the horizon, Hela being the biggest and most terrible one of all.

Tremaine will play Emily McKee, the daughter of Kevin Bacon’s character, a recent university graduate who stops by Perfection, Nevada for a “disappointing” visit with her dad. Ketch plays Mindy Sterngood, “a charismatic young doctor with an eyebrow-raising fixation on the much-older Val (Bacon), who saved her from a Graboid at age nine”.
