Earlier in the week we had the opportunity to interview Dragons: Race to the Edge showrunners Douglas Sloan and Art Brown courtesy of Dreamworks. We discussed a variety of topics with them including how they originally got involved with Dragons: Riders of Berk, the challenges of developing Dragons: Race to the Edge, the shows villains and the Dragon Eye. During the interview they also revealed some things fans can look forward to in the next thirteen episodes from Race to the Edge.
Host Ruari Williamson asked them to talk about the things fans can look forward to in the third season. “You will be able to see the musical”, Sloan replied. “We think it’s one of our best episodes and is really funny.”
“Lots of dragons as usual”, Brown added. “Lots of new dragons. There’s some really cool ones coming. The Cavern Crasher, the Singetail and the Triple Strike. The Singetail and the Triple Strike will play out in future seasons”, Brown continued.
“Those are very important dragons”, Sloan added. Brown continued, “Those are ones to keep an eye on because they have bigger stories ultimately attached to them.”
The showrunners also revealed that long-time villain Dagur the Deranged will get his own dragon. “You’ll also see Dagur get his first dragon, which is really cool and hilarious”, Brown stated.
Gobber the Belch hasn’t appeared a lot in the Race to the Edge series, but the showrunners revealed that the upcoming episodes will reveal how he got his dragon Grump from How To Train Your Dragon 2. “You’ll see how Gobber got Grump”, Brown said.
Story has always been an important element in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise and the next episodes of Race to the Edge will be no different. “In terms of story, you’ll really see how the Dagur, Heather and {Dragon} Riders story plays out. You’ll {also} see some good emotional stuff between Hiccup and Astrid”, said Brown.
Chicken has become a fan-favourite since its introduction in Race to the Edge. Chicken is also a favourite with the crew of the show and Sloan and Brown promised more of Chicken this season. “You’ll see some more of Tuffnut and Chicken. We love Chicken”, Brown said. “Chicken’s one of our favourite characters”, Sloan added.
Adelaide Kane (Reign, Teen Wolf) joins the cast in the next batch of episodes. “We introduce a new tribe and she’s part of that”, Sloan said. “They’re called the Defenders of the Wing”, Brown added.

Forest Whitaker’s (The Shield, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, The Last King of Scotland, The Butler, Taken 3) character in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has officially been revealed.
Whitaker will be playing Saw Gerrera, a character first seen in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Rogue One will mark the first appearance of an animated character from The Clone Wars in live-action with Whitaker’s portrayal of Saw Gerrera. Gerrera appeared in the shows Onderon arc in the fifth season. More recently, he has been referenced in the animated series Star Wars: Rebels and the novel Bloodline.
Whitaker’s portrayal will have a visual homage to Saw’s look in The Clone Wars. EW states:
“The eyes are different — the animated show featured vivid aquamarine eyes, while Whitaker’s are brown — but they maintained the scar that slices up over his left eye. (In the cartoon, it bisects the eyebrow, but in the live-action film, the cut arches just above it.) In this new image of Whitaker, he also looks fairly different than what we first saw in the trailer. Here, he has a full head of hair, while in the previous footage he was shaved.”
Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy stated:
“Consider him kind of a battered veteran who leads a band of Rebel extremists, He’s on the fringe of the Rebel Alliance. Even [they] are a little concerned about him…. He’s off on his own.”
Whitaker’s role had been shrouded in secrecy for a long time, even though he appeared and had a line in the trailer.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled for release on December 16th, 2016.

“Many blessings today to the star of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tom Holland, and the film’s director, Jon Watts (standing in here for Jon is some dude that was passing by), as they begin their shoot in Atlanta just as we are ending ours. I don’t think we could pass the Marvel baton to two nicer, better guys who care more about what they’re doing. Kill it!”

The IMAX poster for the upcoming DC Comics movie Suicide Squad has officially been revealed by Warner Bros.
The poster continues the ‘fun’ marketing campaign the film is going for as it shows the characters in the form of marshmallow cereal charms. The poster includes Deadshot, Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Slipknot, Rick Flag, Enchantress, Katana, Captain Boomerang and The Joker.
“In Suicide Squad, it feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?”
The Suicide Squad movie is scheduled for release on August 5th, 2016.
