Having already appeared in Marvel’s previous Netflix shows (Daredevil and Jessica Jones), Rosario Dawson will be reprising the role of Claire Temple again in a major way for the next show- Luke Cage.
The news was revealed by actor Mike Colter, who will star in his own series having previously guest-starred in Jessica Jones. Colter is quoted as saying the following:
“She’s going to serve a very significant part of the Luke Cage story. Not overwhelmingly so, but you will definitely be satisfied with the amount of screen time you see. … I can’t speak to episode count, but you’re definitely going to see her. She’s definitely going to be someone that’s going to have a large storyline and help out a lot. With Jessica, it was one of those things that when you meet it’s lustful. I think with Jessica, there’s so much chemistry there that we still need to find out are we compatible, and that’s the part that’s going to be interesting. As far as Claire is concerned, we have to wait and see how that relationship evolves. Comparatively speaking, we know Jessica has killed my wife, and so we have to get through that. Because she plays a nurse that basically seems to be in the right place at the right time, and she’s very good at helping out superheroes who are in need, and I think you will see some of that in Luke Cage. Ultimately I think she’s going to be a very good companion for Luke. I think she’s someone that Luke needs in his life at this time.”
The Luke Cage series premiers on Netflix later in 2016.

The final act in the Mega Evolution specials hints at the episodes linking into the main series, Alain kicking butt and is the first episode in the entire Pokémon anime to see a trainer other than a champion (Alain) defeating a member of the Elite Four. Did I mention that Alain kicks butt?
While the final act in the Mega Evolution special episodes is clearly intended to lead into the next chapter of the main series, I really liked how this episode managed to stand out on its own at the same time. We see Alain and Mairin reunite (sadly in unfortunate circumstances as Alain doesn’t want her travelling with him anymore), Steven Stone and Professor Sycamore make appearances and the episode introduces Elite Four member Malva. Note: Is it just me or are there hints that Malva is part of Team Flare as well?
Ever since Mega Evolution Act I I’ve wanted to see more of Alain’s personal side explored. While the previous episodes touched upon this I think this episode really shows his personal side excellently. We can see the inner struggle within Alain as he wants to be the strongest mega evolution trainer (which leads to him pushing Mairin aside) but we also see how he struggles when thinking about the people he cares about. My favourite part of the episode is the zoom up on Alain’s eyes and the anger he shows at himself after Mairin’s Chespin is injured. The moment is done so well that you don’t even need words to be said to figure out that Alain is angry at himself.
The introduction of the Zygarde Core is definitely intended to tie into the main series. I thought the scenes it had with Chespin and its escape were interesting and I’m intrigued to see where it will end up. Chespin ending up needing medical attention raises questions about what happened to it and I think Mairin’s emotions were handled perfectly.
Lysandre and Malva’s conversation about Alain towards the end of the episode is an interesting one. *SPOILERS*. Fans of the games will know that Lysandre is the leader of Team Flare (the X & Y villains), but it looks like Malva is as well which is interesting. The dialogue seems to indicate that Lysandre has been grooming Alain into becoming a bad person so I’m curious to see where Alain’s story goes next.
My only complaint about the episode is the battles themselves. As big a fan as I am of Alain, there is no way he should be able to defeat ten trainers in a row (particularly when the last is an Elite Four member and he only used Mega Charizard against all of the opponents). I felt like the battles were too simple a plot device as well and (in my honest opinion) I think the same outcome could have been achieved by having Alain only battle Malva- the outcome being that Alain has come a long way as a trainer.
In my opinion, this was an excellent episode to wrap up the Mega Evolution episodes from Pokémon XY. While not a perfect episode, it does a great job showing a more personal side of Alain. The introduction of the Zygarde Core and Malva were great additions to the story and the voice-acting in this episode was stellar. However, I thought the plot was a bit simple with the ten battles.
My rating: 9/10

Steven Moffat (the current showrunner of Doctor Who) will officially be leaving the show after Series 10.
Chris Chibnall (creator of Broadchurch) will replace Moffat as showrunner, beginning with Series 11 in 2018. Chibnall already has experience writing for Doctor Who, having written the episodes “42”, “The Hungry Earth”, “Cold Blood”, “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship” and “The Power of Three”. He also wrote eight episodes for the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.
Moffat is quoted as saying the following on his decision to step down:
“Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out. While Chris is doing his last run of Broadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British Television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. And I will be thrown in a skip.”
BBC controller Charlotte Moore is quoted as saying the following:
“I want to thank Steven Moffat for everything he has given Doctor Who – I’ve loved working with him, he is an absolute genius and has brought fans all over the world such joy. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Chris Chibnall, a wonderfully talented writer who I know will bring something very special to the hit series.”
Moore also revealed the reason for Moffat’s final series airing in Spring 2017 is because they want the series to be a huge event on the BBC. With this year containing the European Championships and Olympics, the BBC decided to wait a few months to air Moffat’s last episodes.
In addition, Chibnall had the following to say on becoming the new showrunner:
“It’s a privilege and a joy to be the next curator of this funny, scary and emotional family drama. I’ve loved Doctor Who since I was four years old, and I’m relishing the thought of working with the exceptional team at BBC Wales to create new characters, creatures and worlds for the Doctor to explore.”
The BBC have also decided to hold Series 10 back until Spring 2017. Only one episode will be released in 2016 and that will be the Christmas Special.
Thoughts on this news? Will you be sad to see Steven Moffat leave as showrunner?
Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural) has seemingly confirmed that she will be playing Martha Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Cohan’s name was added to the film’s cast list on IMDB and she later retweeted the news on her official Twitter account. While this isn’t complete confirmation it is very likely to be true because of this.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens on March 25th, 2016.
Thoughts on this report? Are you excited to see Lauren Cohan as Martha Wayne?
Despite Avatar’s director James Cameron stating last month that the crew is on target to meet the planned Christmas 2017 release date for Avatar 2, a new report has indicated that the sequel will not be ready in time for that release date.
Avatar 2 has already been delayed on numerous occasions. The delay is a result of Cameron wanting to shoot the three Avatar sequels back-to-back with state of the art technology (with Cameron wanting to release the three sequels in consecutive years).
Thoughts on this report? Are you disappointed that the Avatar sequel may be delayed again?
