7 From Wizard to Doctor
During press for Fantastic Beasts, Eddie Redmayne was asked if he’d be interested in playing the Doctor. He proceeded to say tell the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show audience, “Would I do it? Yeah! It’s a great show. I’m also a huge fan of those actors, love Matt Smith.” I think Eddie would be a fine Doctor!
6 Painkiller Jane
The lovely Jessica Chastain is producing and starring in a film adaptation of Painkiller Jane! Jessica is known for playing badass women, so she will be phenomenal. See more here.
5 Studio Ghibli
Ghibli nerds rejoice! Director Hayao Miyazaki is coming out of retirement for ‘Boro the Catepillar’! See more here.
4 Inhumans
Marvel’s Inhumans will be an ABC series, but the first two episodes will premiere at IMAX theaters summer 2017!
3 Lin and Disnerdia
The man just doesn’t stop, and I don’t really want him to. Lin-Manuel Miranda not only just finished Moana, is working on the Mary Poppins sequel, and The Little Mermaid, but is adding to his disnerd resume with another project! See more here.
2 Justice League Dark
We have a trailer!
1 Kong
A new Kong: Skull Island poster was released today. It’s a stunner!
