Jennifer Lawrence and Rob Morgan are going to play apocalyptic astronomers in Netflix’s new disaster movie. Giancarlo Esposito teases an almighty clash for Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian. Plus, what’s to come on The 100 and Raised by Wolves. To me, my spoilers!
Don’t Look Up
Jennifer Lawrence and Rob Morgan have been cast as the two “low-level astronomers” forced to go on a press tour to warn mankind of an extinction-level comet in Adam McKay’s upcoming Netflix movie, Don’t Look Up.

A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting
Bloody-Disgusting has our first look at A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, an upcoming Netflix film from Rachel Talalay in which “an international secret society of babysitters protect kids with special powers from monsters.”
2067
Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler in the latest X-Men movies) is sent to the future in order to find a cure for a disease caused by synthetic oxygen in the trailer for 2067.
RoboCop Prequel Series
During a recent interview with MovieHole, RoboCop screenwriter Ed Neumeier revealed he’s working on a prequel series focusing on the life of a young Dick Jones.
I’m working at MGM on it. With any luck, if MGM is willing, if we can find the partners, if we can get this pilot made, if we can convince a bunch of people. It has all the cool stuff about RoboCop except no RoboCop. It’s going to be about the evolution of Richard Jones to Dick Jones, the story of OCP and how the world moves into the future, how the corporate world behaves.
The Mandalorian
Giancarlo Esposito promised “an iconic battle” between Moff Gideon and Din Djarin is forthcoming in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
I’ll be going toe-to-toe with Mando. It’s an iconic battle. I want to disarm him mentally as well. Who knows? Maybe there’s an opportunity to get him to fight some battles for me. You may think I’m a villain, but I’m trying to harness some energy and some powers for a path that could be best for all. You’ll get to see him be somewhat diplomatic and more of a manipulator.
