Supergirl is moving to The CW for its second season.
Supergirl joins the other DC Comics properties on the network which includes Arrow, The Flash, iZombie and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
CBS head Les Moonves previously stated that the network planned to renew all of its freshman series, including Supergirl. However, new reports indicate that CBS and Warner Bros. had been sparring over licensing fees.
While the show had the biggest debut of the 2015/2016 season, it lost half of its viewers over the course of the first season. While it remained as one of the networks biggest shows even after losing half of its viewership, the series was very expensive to make. It’s reported that Supergirl costs about $3 million to make per episode (not taking licensing fees into account).
The first season was shot in Los Angeles, but this report indicates that the second season will instead be filmed in Vancouver. Tax incentives in Vancouver will reduce the cost of producing the show.
No details on where The CW will place Supergirl in their timeslot have been revealed. It’s also unknown if any of the cast members will be unwilling to trek to Canada to shoot there.

Steppenwolf is rumoured to be the main villain of The Justice League: Part One, the first part of the two-part movie that will create the team of DC Comics heroes known as the Justice League.
Many DC fans assumed that Darkseid would be the main villain of The Justice League: Part One after being teased in Batman’s Knightmare scene during Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, this new rumour indicates that the scene was also teasing Steppenwolf (who will actually be the main villain of the movie).
It should also be noted that Steppenwolf did appear in a deleted scene from Batman v Superman involving Lex Luthor and the Kryptonian ship.
The report states:
“Steppenwolf will have a contentious history with Darkseid, and while Darkseid will be in the film in some form or another, it might not be until the end, setting up the second part of Justice League.”
The Justice League: Part One is scheduled for release on November 17th, 2017. Part Two will follow on June 14th, 2019.

X-Men franchise producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: The Last Stand) has revealed that Hugh Jackman’s final Wolverine movie has begun filming.
Kinberg has promised that the movie will be very different from previous instalments in the franchise. He said:
“It’s a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you’ve ever seen in any of these movies.”
However, Kinberg wouldn’t confirm if Patrick Stewart will be reprising the role of Professor X for the film- instead confirming the rumoured “R” rating. He said:
“I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about that. I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumoured to be a part of that film. It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It’s violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film.”
The Wolverine 3 is scheduled for release on March 3rd, 2017.

The names of America’s Hogwarts Houses in the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them have reportedly been revealed.
America’s Hogwarts is called Ilvermorny. Ilvermorny’s four houses are called Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, and Pukwudgie.
The names were discovered by someone finding a JavaScript for a new quiz being put together on the official Harry Potter website. The first question in the quiz is: “Where do you belong? Horned Serpent, Wampus, Thunderbird, or Pukwudgie…”
The quiz also has descriptions of the creatures. They are:
Horned Serpent- “Dragon-like serpents with horns and long teeth. They are often associated with or said to control the weather, particularly rain, lightning, and thunder. Magical abilities ascribed to them include shape-shifting, invisibility and hypnotic powers.”
Wampus- “cat-like” creature described as “some kind of fearsome variation of a cougar.”
Thunderbird- “Legendary creature often described as a very large bird, capable of generating storms and thunder as it flies.”
Pukwudgie- “Two-to-three feet tall and human-shaped, but with a larger nose, ears, and fingers and smooth, grey skin that sometimes glows. Its magical abilities include disappearing and reappearing, partial or complete transformation into a porcupine or cougar, and creating fire.”
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is scheduled for release on November 18th, 2016.

Producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, X-Men: The Last Stand) has confirmed that the X-Men movie that will follow this years’ X-Men: Apocalypse will be set in the 1990’s.
Kinberg said:
“The next one is set in the ’90s.”
This follows the pattern Fox established with the X-Men franchise ever since X-Men: First Class (2011) took the franchise back in time. First Class was set in the 1960’s, followed by X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) taking place in the 1970’s and X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) taking place in the 1980’s. All of the recent X-Men films have had ten year time jumps.
It’s unknown whether Kinberg was referring to the next core X-Men movie or the spin-off based on The New Mutants.

A sequel to EA’s Star Wars Battlefront (2015) will be released in 2017.
EA’s CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed recently that the company plans to release one new Star Wars video-game a year for the next three-four years at least. The first of these will be the aforementioned Battlefront 2. EA’s first Battlefront game was released last November.
Jorgensen said:
“Next year we’ll see Star Wars Battlefront back with bigger and better worlds, because we now have the new movies to work off [and] not just the historical movies that we used before.”
In addition, Jorgensen also confirmed that Visceral’s Star Wars video-game will be released in 2018. It will reportedly be in the same vein as the cancelled Star Wars 1313 video-game.
No exact release date is known for Battlefront 2 other than its 2017 release.
