The Last Jedi
This week brought a couple of brand new photos from The Last Jedi! Check out this one of Rey that debuted on Yahoo! Movies this week. Rey looks stoic, yet ready to fight while training on Ahch-to. But the biggest new photo release (via @HamillHimself) is the cover of the Hungarian magazine Mozimania. Luke Skywalker looks amazing–farm boy no more! The picture portrays a darker-seeming Luke; he’s wearing all black ala a Jedi Knight. His face speaks volumes–he’s ready to face the oncoming storm. Luke looks bad ass. This film cannot arrive soon enough! Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15.
Ant-Man and The Wasp
Hope Van Dyne is gearing up for action! Evangeline Lilly (@EvangelineLilly) posted a first look at her suit for playing The Wasp. It’s a bit different than what was first seen at the end of Ant-Man, but it nonetheless looks great! Ant-man and The Wasp is set for release July 2018.
Star Trek: Discovery
Just ahead of it’s television debut, new pictures of the cast and starship Discovery have landed! The photos show the main cast (Sonequa Martin-Green, Jason Isaacs, and Michelle Yeoh) casually posing an the bridge of the Discovery. The photos are beautiful, as is the set of the ship itself. Check out the photos and interview with the cast in Variety. Star Trek: Discovery premieres September 24 on CBS All Access.
Luke Cage Season 2
Misty Knight (Simone Missick) is getting an upgrade. The butt-kicking NYPD detective from Marvel’s Luke Cage is back for Season 2–with a bionic arm! Marvel is keeping it under wraps on exactly how and when Misty gets her new arm. Misty does (spolier alert!) get her hand cut off in The Defenders, so odds are it has something to do with that. Marvel’s Luke Cage season 2 comes to Netflix in 2018.
