Wyld Stallyns ride again. The Haunting of Hill House’s Mike Flanagan is ready for even more horror stories. Plus updates from Agents of SHIELD, Swamp Thing, Scream, and more. Spoilers away!
Bond 25
007's official Twitter page has our first authorized look at Daniel Craig in Bond 25.
In related news, British tabloid The Sun reports Grace Jones, who played May Day in 1985's A View to a Kill, was meant to have a cameo in the film, but immediately quit the production after realizing how few lines she’d been given.
Black Panther 2
In a recent interview with BET, Kevin Feige denied persistent rumors Michael B. Jordan will reprise his role as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther 2.
The honest answer to that is that is pure rumor and speculation, because Mr. Coogler is just only in recent weeks sitting down at his keyboard and beginning to outline the movie. It’s early, so nothing is set yet in any way that far, because Mr. Coogler is sitting down and will share it with Nate Moore and myself in coming weeks.
Untitled Dune Project
Brian Herbert, author and son of Frank Herbert, revealed there’s yet another, “significant” Dune-related project on the way (outside of the in-the-works Bene Gesserit spinoff series). No specific details were given so it’s unclear what form this one would take but he promised the official announcement would come soon. He also noted “filming is going very well” on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune film.
Alien Nation
Variety also reports Disney has canceled Fox’s planned remake of 1988's Alien Nation.
