Production got under way in New York City today on the Marvel/Netflix series Iron Fist, which doesn't have a release date set at this time. It didn't take long for the first set photos to surface, courtesy of the Tumblr page Delevingned, which offers our first look at Finn Jones on the set as Danny Rand. Unfortunately, we don't get to see the actor in his full Iron Fist costume, but hopefully we'll get to see that very soon.

The children of Harold Meachum (David Wenham), Joy and Ward have spent their lives building Rand Enterprises to its current standing in the world, only to have all their work put in jeopardy when Danny returns to claim his birthright. »

Black Panther Speaks in Latest 'Captain America: Civil War' TV Spot
4 hours ago
Over the past few months, we've seen bits and pieces of footage featuring Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War, but we still haven't heard this iconic character speak quite yet. Thankfully, Marvel has debuted a new TV spot that features T'challa speaking for the first time, although he only says one word, "Captain," before facing Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) himself. Back in February, Chadwick Boseman offered some insight into his process of finding the right voice for Black Panther.
"The idea of Wakanda is sort of, what if Timbuktu hasn't been conquered? I basically listened to people and picked what sounded cool, since it's not a specific place. It's in the southern, central part of Africa. The attitude, the musicality, as is my preference of the character. It has to fit his dignity."

Former 'Walking Dead' Star Says Cast Knows Who Negan Killed
7 hours ago
At least one person knowns the identity of Negan's victim in The Walking Dead Season 6 finale aside from the showrunners. And he claims that the entire cast knows the answer, too. But they're all lying to avoid a potential spoiler slip-up. The person who takes Negan's death blow has actually been known by the cast for a while now.
At least that's the claim former The Walking Dead star Tyler James Williams is making in a EW Radio interview. Even though Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl, has Tweeted out the fact that he doesn't know the victim's name, that doesn't appear to be true. Shortly after the Season 6 finale Last Day on Earth aired, director Greg Nicotero claimed that all of the actors were being kept in the dark until Season 7 starts shooting this summer.
One person who has already said he knows the name of Negan's victim is Norman Reedus, »

7 hours ago
With just six days left until Season 6 of Game of Thrones premieres, anticipation is higher than ever for this show's return. We have seen a few trailers for the new episodes, but there is still very little that we know about what's happening in Westeros. We do know one thing for certain: Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is most certainly dead. Kit Harington did come back to film scenes as Jon Snow's corpse this season. And it seems that this beloved character won't be coming back from the dead anytime soon. During a new interview with TV Line, series star Liam Cunningham offered some insight about what it was like on the set for Kit Harington during these scenes.
"He gives good corpse. It's a pig of a job being a dead body. It's really difficult, especially for elongated scenes. To just be there and not breathe. And you get forgotten about [by the] crew. »

8 hours ago
While Daisy Ridley had recently teased a possible lead role in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, it sounds like she's taking on a decidedly different project instead. Kolma will reteam the Force Awakens actress with her director J.J. Abrams, who will only be producing this time out. The movie is coming from Paramount Pictures.
Kolma is described as being in the same vein as Truly Madly Deeply by Deadline. The movie is based on an Israeli made-for-tv movie titled All I've Got. The story centers on a young woman who survives a car crash that kills her boyfriend. When she dies decades later, she is given two choices. She can return to the scene of that accident to live her life again. Or she can reunite with her lover.

'Batman v Superman' Had an Original Runtime of 4 Hours
10 hours ago
At two hours and thirty-three minutes, you may not be alone in thinking that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice runs too long. If you're on the opposite side of this argument, and want a longer movie, you'll get your wish this summer when Warner Bros. Home Entertainment releases the Batman V Superman R-Rated Ultimate Cut, which runs nearly three hours. It has now been revealed by the ProVideo Coalition that the original cut of the movie, before any major scenes were trimmed down or removed altogether, was a whopping four hours. So if it felt like something was missing, it probably was.
Leading up to the release of Batman V Superman in theaters this past March, there was much noise made about the addition of Jena Malone to the cast. Especially since director Zack Snyder refused to be forthcoming about who she plays. While it's been widely reported that »

The new Baywatch movie is definitely a comedy. If you weren't sure, the latest photo from the set shared by Dwayne Johnson on his official Instagram page assures us of that.

'Jurassic World 2' Gets 'A Monster Calls' Director J.A. Bayona
13 hours ago
It's official! Jurassic World 2 will be directed by J.A. Bayona. The news was confirmed on the Jurassic World Twitter account. The filmmaker was rumored to be a frontrunner for the gig earlier this year. Original Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow dropped out of directing the anticipated sequel back in 2015, after it was announced that he'd be taking the helm on Star Wars: Episode IX, the final chapter in the current Force Awakens trilogy. Says the Twitter account.
"We are pleased to announce that @filmbayona will direct the Jurassic World Sequel. 6.22.18."
J.A. Bayona was also committed to directing World War Z 2, which arrives next summer. Because of this, many believed he'd have to pass on Jurassic World 2. But earlier this year, Bayona decided to bail on the Brad Pitt zombie thriller. This opened up his schedule for this dinosaur thriller, which will continue the 'weapons of mass destruction' story thread introduced in last year's blockbuster. »

Superhero movie crossovers are all the rage, and when the smoke clears in 2020, the Dceu might be the king of this concept. We know all of the iconic DC Comics characters will unite for the two-part Justice League movie. And Cyborg will team with Barry Allen in The Flash. But one long-anticipated brawl we might not see until the second phase of the DC movie universe is one between Black Adam and Superman. While Dwayne Johnson definitely wants to see these two characters go to war, he promises it won't happen in the first Shazam! movie.
