Updates From Godzilla Vs. Kong, Thor: Love & Thunder And More

The fifth Purge movie expands its cast. Daniel Craig reconfirms his Bond future. The Minutemen unite in a new Watchmen image. Could Pumpkinhead make a comeback? Plus, what’s to come on Black Lightning and His Dark Materials and more updates from Tremors 7. To me, my spoilers!

The Purge 5

THR reports Will Patton and Cassidy Freeman are the latest to join the cast of The Purge 5, in undisclosed roles.


Pumpkinhead

In conversation with Rue Morgue, Saw producer Peter Block stated “exciting news” regarding the Pumpkinhead franchise “should be making its way out soon.”

We have some exciting news that I’m not allowed to share yet, but that should be making its way out soon. Pumpkinhead is a movie I just love… and while the original Pumpkinhead is a great movie, I think that there is more that can be done with that idea. Sometimes I loathe remakes and reboots because I don’t see the reason for them, but Pumpkinhead is one of those where I believe that the story and the themes of it are so good, but there’s also a way of updating it where less focus on the creature in the beginning will add to a lot of the suspense.


Godzilla vs. Kong

According to The Wrap, Godzilla vs. Kong has been pushed back eight months and will now reach U.S. theatres November 11, 2020. It’s currently undated in Australia.


Thor: Love & Thunder

During a recent panel at Tokyo Comic Con, Chris Hemsworth revealed he has yet to see a script for Thor: Love & Thunder though it begins filming “sort of mid-next year.”

Lots of love and lots of thunder. You can expect that. I haven’t seen the script yet. I know they’re working very hard on it and pretty excited to bring you something pretty fresh and new again. But having left Endgame, where Thor was, we have a lot of room to move there and drastically change again, which is very, very exciting. But we start shooting that sort of mid-next year.
