Avengers 4
In an interview with the official Avengers: Infinity War magazine, Gwyneth Paltrow appears to have preemptively revealed Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are destined to have a child together.
Pepper and Tony have had a real long journey together. She obviously starts as his dutiful assistant, and then the relationship evolves, and now this decade later they’re married, and they have a child. Their relationship has evolved in all of the ways that great romances evolve.

Dragon Rider
Felicity Jones, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Patrick Stewart, Freddie Highmore, Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Nonso Anozie have joined the voice cast of Dragon Rider, an animated film adaptation of the Cornelia Funke novel.
According to Coming Soon, Jones will voice a mountain brownie named Sorrel, while Brodie-Sangster plays a silver dragon named Firedrake. Stewart plays the dragon slayer, Nettlebrand, while Highmore is Ben, a human boy. Syal, Bhaskar and Anozie’s roles are all currently undisclosed.
The Six Billion Dollar Man
Deadline reports director Damian Szifron has been fired from The Six Billion Dollar Man due to both “creative differences” and a “language barrier”. As the Argentinian director co-wrote the film’s script, it’s unclear if Warner Bros. will be searching for a new writer as well.
Meanwhile, THR reports Mel Gibson could swoop in to direct, as the actor/director had already been in talks to play Steve Austin’s mentor, Oscar Goldman.

Captain Britain
During an interview with JoBlo, Simon Pegg expressed interest in playing Captain Britain for the MCU.
I mean, Captain Britain was this Marvel superhero that I loved growing up, ’cause he was the British member of that community. I even have a Captain Britain mask when I was a kid, but I fear I would probably be slightly too old now, but if they do have… If a Captain Britain movie comes about, they’re gonna need a British cast, so… I’ll be waiting.

Game of Thrones
Watchers on the Wall reports that a large gathering of actors in Seville – near the shooting location of the ruins of Itálica, used for the Dragonpit in Thrones‘ seventh season – suggests another major gathering of characters in store for the final season. Initial reports put Maisie Williams, who of course plays Arya, as holidaying in the city, but new sightings of the body doubles for both Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner, and Dinklage himself, seem to indicate Tyrion and Sansa will also be heading to the pit this season.
Further unconfirmed reports from the site also allege that Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Gwendoline Christie and John Bradley were also seen boarding flights to Seville recently, indicating quite a bit team up of Team Stark-affiliated characters if it ends up being true.
