We’ve found Walkers in lots of interesting places in The Walking Dead and now it’s going to get even more interesting.
AMC are reportedly planning a 30-minute special standalone episode that will feature Walkers set on a plane in the early days of the outbreak. The special would follow a group of survivors fighting the undead on a plane. The solo special will air online in numerous chapters, but if you watch The Walking Dead while it’s airing a chapter of this special episode will feature during the commercials.
At least one of the survivors is stated to later be appearing in the second season of Fear The Walking Dead (the companion series that recently began airing).

Warner Bros. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of the most hotly anticipated movies coming out in 2016. The company has now released a new image from the film on its own Twitter account.
A similar version of this image was released by the Empire magazine a long time ago, but this is a wider version of that scene. The scene shows Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne standing in front of the Batman costume.
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.

In Star Wars Rebels Season Two, past lives will be revealed and the destiny of our heroes will be changed forever. The transformative new season resumes with Imperial oppression on Lothal growing stronger and the Rebels seeking out new allies and additional resources to sustain their fight against the evil Empire. With the help of Ahsoka Tano, the crew of the Ghost enlists some old friends: ex-clone troopers who fought in the Clone Wars. As the Rebels grow in number, so do their enemies. New Inquisitors are dispatched by Darth Vader and sent to crush any threat of rebellion. Through dangerous rescue missions, thrilling space chases, and spectacular lightsaber duels — the bond of our Rebel crew will be put to the test like never before.

A lot of DC fans were very excited when actress Viola Davis was cast as Amanda Waller for the Suicide Squad film, but Viola herself has now confirmed that not only is she in Suicide Squad but will be in two other DC films!
Davis said the following to The New York Times: “This is my first big superhero movie. I signed on for three, so it needed to be a great experience. This was a role that was just there to be fun. It was a chance to work with Will Smith, you know?”
DC currently have ten movies coming out as revealed in their current slate last year which carries on until and through 2020. No sequel to Suicide Squad has been announced, so the most likely scenario is that she is in both parts of the Justice League film.
Thoughts on this news? Are you excited to know that we’ll be seeing more of Amanda Waller than just in Suicide Squad?

Hannibal may have unfortunately been cancelled earlier in the year, but actor Mads Mikkelsen is still a busy man. He was recently revealed to be part of the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast and now it’s rumoured that he’s about to enter talks to play a villain in Marvel’s upcoming Doctor Strange film.
The report indicates that Mikkelsen, best-known for his roles as Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal and Le Chiffre in the James Bond film Casino Royale, has not been given an official offer to appear in Doctor Strange yet but that one will be presented very soon.
Confirmed cast members include Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One.
Thoughts on this rumour? Which Doctor Strange villain would you like to see Mads Mikkelsen play?
Note: Rogue One is currently filming and filming is rumoured to wrap up in late October, whereas filming on Doctor Strange is officially starting in November so it’s possible for Mikkelsen to be in both films.
