A new preview clip from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice aired this week on the Jimmy Kimmel Live: After The Oscars special. It features Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) fighting on a rooftop in Gotham.
You can watch the clip below:
“In Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, 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.”
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set for release on March 25th, 2016.

“Rodriguez – who goes by the nickname “Yo-Yo” – is the daughter of the villain called Griffin. She has the ability to move at super speed and then snap back to the spot she started from, hence the nickname and codename. She is one of the Caterpillars recruited by Nick Fury into the Secret Warriors. During an operation, Slingshot has both of her arms cut off by the Gorgon, one of Hydra’s deadliest agents. Slingshot is fitted with two prosthetic replacements and returns to active duty as a member of the team.”

New promotional artwork for Captain America: Civil War has made its way online.
The artwork was revealed via a 16-month licensed calendar from Trends International. The artwork shows Team Captain America and Team Iron Man locked in battle.
“Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.”
Captain America: Civil War is scheduled for release on May 6th, 2016.

The Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens will reportedly have seven deleted scenes.
The Force Awakens editors Mary Jo Markey and Maryann Brandon are quoted as saying the following to The Independent:
“We have been talking about [the deleted scenes],” Brandon began. “But Disney has mentioned to us that – since they’re going to be on the DVD treats for viewers – that we should stop talking about them.”
When pressed a little further, the Oscar-nominee said: “There aren’t a lot. There’s one with Harrison Ford, there’s one with Rey, but there aren’t a lot.
“I think there are maybe seven or eight,” added Markey. “I don’t know if that’s a lot. I remember looking at the reel. Actually, I think there are seven.”
In addition, Brandon spoke about why certain scenes were deleted. He said:
“JJ [Abrams, director] really wanted it to be a two-hour movie, and we did strive to do that. But then, at a certain point, we felt like the film is really working for the very few people that we were able to show it to. So we went back to see if we should add any of the things we left off, and there really wasn’t anything that felt like it needed to be in the film. That’s always the goal, to get it down to its essence. There were fun things, but it didn’t actually have to be in the movie for it to work.”
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is rumoured to be hitting Blu-ray on April 5th.

Rey (with BB-8 as an additional pack-in figure) was one of the first figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Hasbro’s The Black Series 6-inch line. However, since that wave no new 6-inch Rey figures have been revealed… until now.
Kmart have revealed that they will have an exclusive Rey (“Starkiller Base”) figure available this year. The figure will go well with the previously released 6-inch figure Kylo Ren (“Starkiller Base”)- also a Kmart exclusive.
Details on the figure can be read below:
Detailed 6-inch figure looks like Rey from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
Includes signature blaster, lightsaber, and display stand
28 points of articulation
Expand and enhance Star Wars collections
Includes figure, 2 accessories, and display stand
The moment where Rey catches the Skywalker Lightsaber is one of the most iconic moments from The Force Awakens so it will be great to recreate that.
No exact release date for the figure has been announced.
