With not much to go on, we are left to wonder exactly how Blomkamp will tackle the issue of ‘canon’ in the new series. Though we have a stellar cast in place for Ridley Scott’s follow up to Prometheus in Alien: Covenant, which includes Katherine Waterson, Michael Fassbender and Danny McBride, most of the roles are still unknown. Except now for Danny McBride’s character. During an interview with Rolling Stone, McBride confirmed himself to be the pilot of the Covenant space craft. He also spoke a bit about the use of practical effects in the movie, with the official twitter account releasing a new video from behind the scenes revealing what appears to be a new alien hand. THR is reporting that The Nice Guys standout Angourie Rice has been cast in Spider-Man Homecoming in an unknown role. Rice hasn’t been working in Hollywood too long, now until her recent appearance in the Shane Black directed movie, in which she played Ryan Gosling’s on-screen daughter. BUY OR SELL Bryan Cranston‘s involvement with the Power Rangers goes back a lot farther than his recent casting in the movie - he voiced minor villains Twinman and Snizzard during the series’ run in the 90s. Now Cranston stars as Zordon in the feature film due out March 24, 2017. In a chat with The Huffington Post about his upcoming movie The Infiltrator, Cranston spoke of the tone of the Power Rangers movie and how it made all the difference in influencing his decision to sign on, comparing it to the Batman movies. Laika animation studio has released the newest trailer for their stop-motion - magical Samurai tale, Kubo and the Two Strings. Set in a fantastical Japan, Kubo follows a young boy who possesses the power to bring origami to life with the music of his shamisen — on an epic journey to unlock the secrets of his legacy and reunite his family. The first trailer for Edge of Winter starring Suicide Squad’s Joel Kinnaman and Spider-Man Homecoming’s has been released online. Holland plays Bradley, one of two brothers (the other played by Percy Hynes White) stranded on a day trip with their father Elliot played by Kinnaman, whom they barely know.
