A lot of the focus for Star Wars fans recently has been on the big-screen because of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but a new report suggests that Star Wars: Rebels will be returning to the small screen as soon as January 20th.
While the date is unconfirmed, a cable listing has a Rebels episode titled “A Princess on Lothal” listed for airing that day. Could this be a hint that Leia Organa will be appearing in Rebels?
A short description from the listing reads as follows (though it could be a general description for the show):
“A group of rebels try to stop the Empire from spreading tyranny throughout the galaxy.”
This has yet to be confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney.

The rumour indicates that the film’s Blu-Ray release date is April 5th. Previous rumours had suggested “Spring 2016” as an estimated release so it is likely that the date could be accurate.
The rumour also suggests that the Blu-Ray release will be in two versions: A single-disc Blu-ray and a two-disc 3D Blu-ray combo pack. The latter will also include a digital copy.

A couple of new photos have revealed a detailed look at The Batcave that will be seen in this years’ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Details that have already been released on the new Batcave include that it’s the only part of Wayne Manor that hasn’t fallen “into disrepair, crumbled in ruins.”
Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman) had the following to say on the tech his Batman will use to keep up with the other superheroes:
“He represents human beings, mortal men. In a world of Flashes and Aquamen and Supermen, there needs to be that guy. It’s interesting that he became the leader of the Justice League in the books — I’m not sure how that’ll play out here — but his humanity is also an asset.”
Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth) had the following to add on his Alfred being more hands-on:
“He’s a bit of a grease monkey, and he’s very involved in the decisions Bruce makes.”
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set for release on March 25th, 2016.
Thoughts on the detailed look? Are you excited to see this Batcave in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice?
Last year actor Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale, The Hunt, The Salvation, the Pusher films) was cast in an unidentified role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange film. Unsurprisingly, Marvel Studios have now revealed that Mikkelsen will be playing the main villain in the movie.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is quoted as saying the following:
“We will take audiences through sort of a guide to the multiverse, other dimensions, and there are amazing things out there — wonders that are going to be hopefully visually extremely interesting and unique to this movie. But there are also very scary things in these other dimensions. [He] believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.”
Marvel’s Doctor Strange film is scheduled to open on November 4th, 2016.

Details on actress Rachel McAdams’ (Sherlock Holmes, True Detective, The Notebook) role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange film have been scarce until now, but Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed some new details on her character.
Feige is quoted as saying the following:
“Rachel McAdams plays a fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange and is his sort of lynchpin to his old life, once he steps into the role of a sorcerer. She is someone he connects with at the beginning, and reconnects with, and helps anchor his humanity.”
Doctor Strange executive producer Stephen Broussard also had the following to add:
“Rachel McAdams is sort of [Doctor Strange’s] contemporary in the modern-day New York world, before and after he goes on this crazy journey. So, she sees him before, she sees him after. She’s kind of this audience point of view.”
Marvel’s Doctor Strange film is scheduled to open on November 4th, 2016.
