Get a look at Creepshow’s spooktacular host. There might be more Doctor Who on the way this year, just not in the way you’d expect it.

Captain Marvel
An official tie-in book titled Starforce on the Rise by Steve Behling confirms Jude Law indeed plays Starforce Commander, Yon-Rogg, rather than Mar-Vell. It’s a name that had previously been included in other Captain Marvel merchandise, but swiftly replaced with “Starforce Commander” naming, so whether this continues to be an attempt at elaborate obfuscation or Law really is Yon-Rogg remains to be seen.[Screen Rant]
Bond 25
The Playlist reports Scott Z. Burns has been hired to rewrite Neal Purvis and Robert Wade’s latest James Bond script before shooting begins this April. The outlet describes Burns’ work as “an overhaul” and not to be surprised if “Burns is ultimately given first screenplay credit.”
In related news, Bond 25 is currently scheduled for an April 2020 release date. [/Film]
