Batman

According to Collider‘s John Campea (the first to break the news Ben Affleck no longer wanted to play Batman), Matt Reeves has an actor in mind to replace “Batfleck” should the actor find that “graceful and cool way to segue out of” his time in the role.

I’m hesitant to say anything, but I talked to a Hollywood producer yesterday who told me who Matt Reeves wants as Batman. And, I’ll be honest with you, the name they [gave] me caught me a little bit by surprise. I called somebody else later in the day, saying, ‘Hey, I heard this, is there any validity to this?’ And they said, ‘Well, Matt does want him.’ But, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. There’s been no movement or anything like that. It doesn’t mean anything’s going to happen.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

In addition to her love of Porgs, Daisy Ridley spoke to USA Today about the scene in which Rey is tortured by Snoke.

It was painful. My throat hurt after that one… Snoke is one of those tests for Rey. And when I say testing, it’s the worst use of testing ever. He looks mental. Snoke is an evil guy, if you can call him a guy.

Meanwhile, Dolby Cinema is the latest theatre chain to get its own, exclusive poster.
