Martian Manhunter
Speaking with CBR, Justice League producer Charles Roven stated he was very interested in making a Martian Manhunter film.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that I would rather do that character, because we know that there is going to be a Flash movie, we know that Aquaman is being done, I think that Cyborg deserves his own movie too, and I know that the fans are out there screaming for Green Lantern, that’s for sure. But I was always a fan of J’onn J’onzz, Manhunter from Mars.
Ant-Man & The Wasp
Paul Rudd shows off the new Ant-Man suit while answering questions about I Love You Man during his appearance on HBO’s Night of Too Many Stars.

1 week left of shooting #Glass. Yesterday was @SamuelLJackson last shot. Had to fight back tears. These are more than movies to me.

A Wrinkle in Time
Coming Soon has a poster to go along with yesterday’s trailer.
Star Trek: Discovery
Co-showrunner Aaron Harberts says the show’s second season – not the “chapter two” we’re getting in January – will be when the show begins to more strongly reconcile its new concepts with the canon of the original Star Trek:
We have ten years until The Original Series comes into play. It is a challenge creatively because we have lots of choices, in terms of how do we reconcile this [Spore] drive? This surrogate daughter of Sarek? How do we reconcile these things the closer we get to The Original Series?
That’s going to be a big discussion that we have in season two. What’s so fun about the character of Michael, just because she hasn’t been spoken about, doesn’t mean she didn’t exist. A lot of the writers on our show are deeply involved in Star Trek, their knowledge is some of the finest around, they really do help us find areas where we can steer around things.
