*This story contains SPOILERS from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Keep reading at your own peril.*

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was originally going to have another major character die during the film. Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) was originally going to die after crash landing the TIE Fighter on Jakku.
Isaac revealed this is an interview with GQ magazine, stating that Dameron’s death had already been written when he accepted the part. The report from GQ reads as follows:
“Isaac says he had been summoned to Paris for what he suspected might be a role in The Force Awakens. Sure enough, earlier that day, he had met with Abrams, screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and Abrams had pitched him the character of Poe Dameron, a badass fighter pilot battling against the remnants of the Empire.
“He’s amazing!” said Abrams.
“Sounds good!” thought Isaac, whose first experience in a movie theater had been seeing The Empire Strikes Back.
“He opens the whole movie!” said Abrams.
“Sounds great!” thought Isaac.
“And then,” Abrams went on. “He dies.”
“Oh,” thought Isaac.
“I’d done that before,” he told me later. “Set up the plot for the main guy and then die spectacularly.” (He had played just such a role in The Bourne Legacy.)
Abrams could surely feel the enthusiasm drain out of the actor when he revealed Dameron’s fate. “I guess that’s not what you hoped for when you got on a plane to Paris,” he said. Thus the invitation to join him at Café de Flore, where Abrams patiently sipped coffee while Isaac sat hunched over the director’s iPhone, reading one of the most closely guarded scripts in the history of film. Abrams hoped to convince the actor that there were still compelling reasons to join the Star Wars fraternity.
“I wanted to impress upon him how much I wanted this to work,” Abrams remembers. It was a chance, he told Isaac, to create a role that could live on in all corners of the Star Wars universe—novels and comic books and video games and so on. The conversation lasted well into the night.
“We talked about the story and who this character could be,” Abrams says. “I loved the collaboration. People like Oscar are the people you listen to.”
Still, when they parted, Isaac remained hesitant.
“I went back home [to New York], and I thought about it,” he says. “Then I wrote him and said, ‘Okay. I’ll do it!’ I figured it would be a cameo: I’ll come in, do my thing, and maybe it’s actually better not to have to sign myself up for three movies.” By that time, though, things had changed and Abrams soon wrote back: “Never mind. I’ve figured it out. You’re in the whole movie now.”
“I was like, ‘Holy shit! Alright, cool,’ ” Isaac says.”
Thoughts on this report? Are you happy that Poe Dameron was kept alive for the rest of the film?

Star Wars fans are still reeling from the return of Star Wars to the big-screen in the form of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but cast members are already talking about the next saga film.
Episode VIII begins production in January, but certain cast members have already read the script. Daisy Ridley (who starred as Rey in The Force Awakens) had the following to say on whether she had read the script:
“I have. It’s very good; very good. Let’s see “VII” first and then we’ll talk about “VIII.” [Laughs.] “It will be interesting to go back to “VIII” after everyone’s seen the film. I’m glad that people are going see the film before we start shooting because I think that will be a kind of… not a marker, but some kind of directional thing. I think it’ll be a very different experience.”
Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on May 26th, 2017.
Thoughts on what Daisy said? Are you excited for Star Wars Episode VIII?

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will have Batman and Superman clashing on the big-screen for the first time, but it will also feature other members of the Justice League. New rumoured details on the appearances of other members have surfaced online.
The rumoured cameos include the following:
“The most well-known and well-promoted cameo is of course Aquaman, played by Jason Mamoa. Interestingly, they report it will be Lex Luthor who brings him into the story. Most people speculated that the character would come into things angry with Superman over the destruction and alien wreckage in the Indian Ocean, but according to this report, that isn’t the case.
Cyborg – specifically mentioned in his fully-human identity of Vic Stone, will simply have a “cameo introduction” with star Ray Fisher, they report. In the comic book relaunch of Justice League that included Cyborg, he was first shown as a star football player, so that’s a possibility for him, here.
We’d already heard from sources here at ComicBook.com that The Flash’s cameo would pretty much be “blink and you might miss it,” and this report seems to confirm that. The cameo, they say, will be The Flash blurring by at super speed. One brief scene was also shot with Ezra Miller out-of-costume as Barry Allen, but they say that “might be cut from the movie entirely.”
The rumour also indicates that no Green Lantern’s will show up in the movie.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25th, 2016.
